Eagles vs Bears Monday Nighter

[Doc Green]

We are a top coached team in the league. Doug is just so on point. Great misdirection in the run game. Love the way they spread it out on the first drive to keep the reads easy. So much to like about what is happening here. Finally!

Agreed. Who knew? I was definitely skeptical with Pederson. Excellent decision by Howie and Lurie...and Andy.

 

[Rey]

How incredibly stupid was it to kick that thing right in the middle of the field? Why? kick that thing out of bounds!!!!

 

[eaglesnut]

6 minute edge in time of possession.

Easy to keep the ball when you complete passes.

WTF is up with our ST? Why do you punt to Royal in the middle of field? Bone headed play.

Honestly I expected it (with a healthy dose of hope mixed in). I loved what they did in kc in the second half of the year. But I thought they'd be doing it with Bradford. Running with the kid and then really running, not walking with him, is hella impressive.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Dougie P flashing some massive cojones.

 

[Wings]

I fully expected Dougie P to come in here and run a good offense, however i expected it to look like Andy Reids offense....I really don't think it looks anything like Andys offense.

Carson Wentz sucks! Why'd we trade up for him

 

[Iggloo]

Carson Wentz could not be more impressive. He is 2-0 and hasn't turned it over yet.

 

[knowyourenemy]

This team looks so much better than I expected it to look. Maybe I'm crazy but I think Wentz has an energy to him that is contagious and has infected the rest of the team.

 

[knowyourenemy]

So guess which team has the biggest point differential in the NFL? You guessed it. Your Philadelphia Eagles.

 

[Doc Green]

Carson Wentz could not be more impressive. He is 2-0 and hasn't turned it over yet.

As an Eagles' fan, I'm obviously now waiting for the bottom to all out, but it looks awesome right now! I can't believe that any of us, even you, Wings and WIZ, would have thought that it would be this good so soon.

 

[knowyourenemy]

The early line for next week has the Eagles as 6 point home underdogs.

 

[Iggloo]

I certainly didn't. I thought he would have ups and downs as a rookie, and he still might. But so far, wow. He could not be more in control! Looks like Peyton Manning out there in terms of his command of the offense.

The Bears almost blocked the punt. Donnie did a good job getting the kick off. Bad tackling on Royal. Looked like lackadaisical efforts out there to me.

The early line for next week has the Eagles as 6 point home underdogs.

With the 3 pt home field advantage that means they think the Steelers are only 3 points better than the Eagles. I'm drinking the Wentz koolaid like everyone else, but this OL sucks, our CBs will be exposed by an elite QB and a good set of WRs and that looks like easy money on the Steelers to me.

 

[SixthStreet]

Oops. Too late. I had the math reversed. The line actually makes sense.

 

[SoShady]

Really impressed with Wentz and Pederson through the first two games. I'm sure we will see growing pains from both this season. But the supporting cast on offense does worry me. If and when Johnson gets suspended the line will become a huge issue. Very inconsistent play from the WR's. With less than stellar play from the RB's. Hopefully over the next year or two we can really upgrade our skill positions around Wentz.

 

[Rey]

Wentz looked like a seasoned vet out there and his line should have read closer to 300 yards with 2 to 3 TD's than the 190 and 1 TD he ended up with. I'm still pissed about the Matthews drop on that perfect pass which would have been a long TD. Ditto Nelson Agholor and his weak hands ... twice he had very catchable balls (one would have been a TD) and he couldn't hold on to either. The OL also negated 3 completions between 10 and 20 yards ... two due to holding and 1 due to them lining up incorrectly. Despite what happens next week against the Steelers, it's looking like the trade up for Wentz was well worth it. When you can find a true Franchise QB (and it's looking like there's a very good chance of Wentz turning into that eventually) ... then it doesn't matter how many draft picks you traded for him!

a couple dropped passes on well thrown balls from Wentz. I liked what I saw from Mathews as the featured back (enough to offer up a trade in my fantasy league #homer). I wasn't impressed with the CBs and not sure why Rowe was traded for nothing.

Wentz needs to learn how to slide. Some of those scrambles had me scared.
