E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!! Birds - Giants II Game Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

lousy weather for the game. No Ertz, no Agholor, no Mills. 10 guys on today's Birds' roster were practice team players (Eagles or other team's practice squad) at some point this season. Hopefully the experienced players and the newbies rise to the challenge, and march into the playoffs.

Fly Eagles Fly, on the road to victory.

Let's do this.

Go Miles! Go Birds!

The things you do for your favorite NFL team.

Today I have to root for Deontay Burnett, who was elevated from the practice squad, and will play WR for the Birds today. Last time I recall watching him, he was catching passes left and right against PSU in the Rose Bowl. I think he had something like 13 catches in that game, as USC rallied to defeat PSU. smh

 

[Delco Lion]

Reports out this afternoon say in addition to a rib injury, Ertz has a lacerated kidney and very well may be done for the season.

And root against Saquon to a certain extent. That's tough.

Is he in the offensive ROY conversation? Who am I missing?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ugh, Boston Scott fumbles the opening KO, recovers it, but only gets to the 7.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Sanders!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

going for it on 4th & 7 on the 1st drive? only thing worse is that they didn't convert. smh

Yeah, don't understand that one. I don't have the chart with me though.

 

[WestSideLion]

That was Doug being Bizarro Doug. No need to go for it there.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Sanders with his 2nd big run

 

[WestSideLion]

It’s time for some Eagles play action.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

dumb play on 3rd down. hit Sanders, while he was backwards to the goal line, and a good distance from the 1st down marker.

Elliott comes thru with the FG, so the Birds take the lead, 3-0

 

[BobPSU92]

Like me on a Friday night, or any other time, I don’t think there will be much scoring in this game.

put down the tongs, and the lattes, and you might get more action.

Really? I thought they would distract from my shortcoming.

 

[LionsandBear]

Who is this douche calling the game and why does he keep pointing out former Buckeyes?

 

[WestSideLion]

Chris Spielman? Former Buckeye all American

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Who is this douche calling the game and why does he keep pointing out former Buckeyes?

Chris Spielman is the color analyst. He was a LBer at tOSU

 

[LionsandBear]

Ok, I hear his voice now. He's a good guy but he needs to stop burning my eardrums with his O$U crap.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

geez, Wentz has Boston Scott wide open on 3rd down, and overthrows him. not exactly a stellar game

 

[pennstatefan111]

Personnel issues aside, why cant the Eagles find a 3rd down play that works...now 1-6 on 3rd down

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Giants with a FG from 37-yards out to tie the game, 3-3, with 5:06 left in the half

 

[sluggo72]

And here are thought the Eagles would win 3-2

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Eagles.

Perkins, from the practice squad to the #3 TE (#2 today, due to Ertz's injury), makes the reception.

With the PAT, it's 10-3, Birds, with 1:52 left in the half

 

[Nitwit]

What is Sanders’ injury?

[PSUcup1]

Never seen this amount of injuries... just insane number of key players and their back ups hurt

20-10 just before the half. The Steelers and Ravens have just started the 3rd quarter.
