Eagles - Slurs Takeaways
 |
| To Be Fair |
> QB Mark Sanchez to TE Zach Ertz for six yards, RB LeSean McCoy jitters for two, and I'd love for this club to not be in third and gah every first drive
> Sanchez to Ertz for five to convert, good placement on a covered receiver
> McCoy for 4, reasonable push from the line, then a false start from everyone on the line but C Jason Kelce, so it must be his fault; it also says something that
> Sanchez to RB Darren Sproles, drops a check down, so instead of 3rd and 7, it's 3rd and 12
> Sanchez to WR Jeremy Maclin for 22, big damned deal, really
> Sanchez misses Sproles, DC seems keyed on him
> McCoy on the left stretch, loss of three, just hate the way that's looked all year
> 3rd and 14 from the 47 is a strip, sack and fumble, and yeah, that's why he's Mark Sanchez
> Plenty of blame for RT Lane Johnson, beaten clean by LB Ryan Kerrigan, gets the majority of it
> 34th turnover in 14 games, way too goddamned many, and that was Just The Beginning
> RB Alfred Morris for 7, a lot of room for a first down run
> QB Robert Griffin to WR DeSean Jackson, simple out route, easy conversion for the first
> Morris for a yard, LB Connor Barwin ends what the line started
> LB Mychal Kendricks with a nice stop of the bubble screen
> 3rd and 7 is Griffin to WR Andre Roberts, bobbles and keeps it, and yeah, it's time to target CB Bradley Fletcher
> LB Brandon Graham eats Morris after a yard, Griffin rolls out and can't shake containment before a near pick throwback screen
> 3rd and 9 and stop the bleeding sees Green rush five, Griffin throws it away, and... it's a gift dumb ass flag on CB Cary Williams, who takes the bait from Roberts for a post-whistle shove
> Honestly, I have no idea how Williams can be that goddamned idiotic
> Morris for nothing, Griffin from the gun has all day before he gets a yard on an awkward looking scramble
> Third and goal from the 7 and dear God stop playing to DC's level is S Malcolm Jenkins breaking up a telegraphed pass to WR Pierre Garcon, and that could have easily been a TAInt
> K Kai Forbath connects from 25, and it's Red 3, Green 0
> Huff to the 20 and it ends with pain; looked like he had more opportunity
> Sanchez for a gain of three on coverage, McCoy for 4, and it's time for that overly important first third down of the drive
> Pressure on Sanchez before an incomplete, DC runs it in because they don't know how football works; hands to the face for a bailout first down
> McCoy for 3, then 18 as HC Chip Kelly remembers that he's good at catching balls out of the backfield
> Obviously Fake Defensive Injury to kill tempo, then Sanchez to Sproles for 7 yards on a check down drag
> Sanchez to Ertz, the TE saves a poor throw for 7 yards and the first
> McCoy for 10 on the drag, Sproles for 8 to the right on good patience on a screen
> McCoy for 5 as the line is generating holes, another first down
> Slower tempo than usual, then McCoy for 11 and the score
> Really nice job keeping his feet forward and sealing the deal on that run
> Green 7, Red 3, first really nice run-based drive in a long time
> Griffin to Jackson for 51 yards, underthrown ball, great adjustment by the WR, and, um, I have no idea why Fletcher is on the DC deep threat with a chip on his shoulder the size of a sequoia
> Morris through a big hole, three men miss, and that's a 28 yard score and just... um, yeah, we're all looking forward to no longer watching this team
> Red 10, Green 7, and yeah, it's hard to tell which team has 9 wins, and which one has three
> Sanchez to Maclin, low and incomplete, decisive but not accurate
> Tries it again, gets six yards and immediate stoppage
> Rather than call a draw on a formation where no one is around to cover it, four man rush gets to the indecisive QB, 2nd Red sack, end of drive
> P Donnie Jones for 33 and a fair catch, also not helpng much
> Morris for 3, then Griffin to TE Logan Paulsen on the settling screen for 6 yards
> Third and stop the bleeding is a gift first down as Cox encroaches, albeit with explosion
> Griffin to WR Pierre Garcon, 12 on the soft cushion against Williams
> Morris for 2 as Kendricks chases it down, then gets his fourth sack of the year for a loss of 11
> Really nice work by the LB there, and Griffin doesn't do his line any favors by just drifting back into the lane
> Roberts drops a very catchable stretch ball on 3rd and 19 that would have moved the sticks, and that's just an unforced error to get off the field without points
> P Tress Way gets it to the 6, and that's nice work by the kicker
> McCoy for 4, then Sanchez to WR Jodan Matthews (welcome back!) for the sticks
> Obviusly Fake Defensive Injury on random DB, and when, oh when, will the NFL stop Chip Kelly's horrifying injury causing tempo
> DB Ryan Clark has a hangnail, and returned after a play, of course
> McCoy for 22, all kinds of jittery goodness
> Sproles for 12 on his own to the right, drag route with fun tap dancing
> The running game is dominant, so let's call a passing play and have Johnson take a holding penalty -- gahhh
> Sanchez for another sack, and T Jason Peters with the misery
> 3rd and 25 from their own 40 is For Heaven's Sake Avoid A Turnover For Once In Your Goddamned Life, Sanchez, and actually converts it to Matthews on a 3-man rush
> This just in: Red Isn't Good Either
> Sanchez keeps for six rather than take the drag play, then McCoy for the conversion... but it's a hold on Peters, and the tackles are having issues
> McCoy for not much, setting up 3rd and 15
> Sproles on the bubble screen for 19, and it's time to cite him for invisibility powers because he's 10% smaller than an ordinary RB, and television analysts think that defenders only can see above six feet off the ground
> Sanchez for 6, then Sproles for 12 as the QB does well to avoid getting in harm's way on the backfield block
> First and goal from the 8 is McCoy showing patience for five yards, and Ow, Red Has N Owie
> Sanchez misses Ertz, open in the end zone, but the throw is high and wide
> Third and goal to take the lead is Sanchez to WR Riley Cooper, who somehow avoids disaster for the slant score
> Green 14, Red 10, second straight long drive for score with red zone win
> Griffin for 4, throw to RB Darrell Young for 3
> Third and 3 is a pressure throw to WR Jordan Reed, behind and that's all kinds of punty
> Sproles dances for six, and Green gets it back on their own 17
> McCoy for 6, tempo tempo tempo please, Sanchez to Cooper, but offsetting flags
> 2nd and 4 with 1:28 left is Sanchez to Ertz for 7, then again for 8
> Green timeout with 1:02 on the clock, smart use to keep the middle of the field in play
> Ertz for 4, then Maclin for 17, and Green Timeout #2
> Long developing, then a miss to Matthews, a bit on the WR
> Bad dance work on the bubble to Sproles; loss of a yard and final timeout
> 3rd and 11 to save the figgie chance is Sanchez missing Sproles, who never turns for it, and yeesh
> That's the first of many missed opportunities in this one, and one that could have given them separation against a team that was just ready to quit
> Jones punts, and that's the half
> K Cody Parkey a yard deep, and the STs come up with a gret stiff arm for the ball on Roberts
> CB/ST Nolan Carroll with the recovery, really nice poke to generate it by Jenkins
> McCoy for a yard, then loses one on a too slow screen
> 3rd and 10 from the Red 16 is long clock, then Sanchez missing Cooper in the end zone, but at least it wasn't a pick
> Parkey from 34 misses by a foot right, and gahhh, not good
> That's the second of many missed yada yada yada
> 2x the number of yards + even in turnovers should not be a 4 point lead, dammit
> Griffin with time, Jackson with space, 14 yards
> Morris gets five as Cox holds on, then plows for five more
> Blitz fails, and Griffin slips past it for seven yards; bad look on Kendricks
> RB Silas Redd Jr. in to get four yards and another first
> Morris for 3, Griffin to Garcon for 17, runs free off the line on Williams
> Morris for 5, poor man's beast mode
> Griffin to Reed, CB Brendan Boykin on the stop to save the first down
> 3rd and keep it a figgie chance is Griffin missing Roberts, but roughing the passer is another gift first down
> Call-wise, it's pretty much right there with that nauseating flag against the Niners last week
> No replay, of course, since those just undermine the officiating now
> Delay flag with a new C and the old coach
> Morris for a yard, Garcon for 9, another roughing the passer flag, this one on DE Vinny Curry
> Second ridiculous call of the drive
> Oh, by the way, pre-catch blocking by Red
> Young for the dive rush TD, Cox runs right past the FB, and yeah, nothing that happened in the last five minutes wasn't nauseating
> Red 17, Green 14
> CBS needs to show us that Daniel Snyder comes to games and knows how to pump his fist, so, um, yay
> Critical drive starts with McCoy dropping a throw in the flat, unforced error but wouldn't have gotten much
> McCoy for 3, setting up third and yeah, way too damned important
> Sanchez to Ertz, time and ball for 11 and the first
> McCoy for five, might have had more, but slowed just enough
> McCoy for two, patience unrewarded
> Third and 3 and keep the ball is slow tempo, Sanchez to Matthews for 22 on a simple and well done cross
> Sanchez for 6, mobility with concern about deep ball picks
> Sanchez stumble keeps for 3, more runnerish than usual tonight
> McCoy doesn't get anything on third and one, bad miss there
> Parkey from 46 misses right again, and that's opportunity number three; he's picking a bad time to be Alex Henery
> Griffin fumbles the snap from his old center, but gets it back for a loss of four
> Griffin to Jackson, wide open on Surprise Surprise, Fletcher, 55 yards
> The CB is lucky the ball isn't better, or that's seven right away, instead of later
> Morris for two, then Jackson to the end zone, tied up with S Nate Allen, automatic DPI flag
> Maybe it wasn't a good idea to just let this guy walk for nothing
> Young again, simple, score
> Red 24, Green 14 with 15:26 left
> Huff for 26, Flag #10 against Green (2 against Red)
> Sanchez to Cooper for 15 ends the third quarter
> McCoy for 8, but Flag #11 is a hold, and yeah, Green beat themselves with a stick today, then upgraded to bats
> Sanchez to Cooper for 9, late flag for no flag, so much for tempo
> Sanchez to Cooper for 9, same play, no RAC opportunity
> 3rd and is McCoy for six, nice movement in the hole
> Sanchez to Ertz for 8, lots of dink and dunk options here
> Sanchez tries WR Brad Smith, against the grain, near pick but down, and offsetting flags anyway
> The Sanchize is pretty much the definition QB for You Can't Throw Back Across Your Body
> Sanchez to Ertz for 9, simple stuff against poor LBs
> Sproles for 4, takes a hit but he's a tank
> Sanchez to Ertz, 16 yards with a great grab of a high ball
> McCoy for 4 yards of patience, then slow tempo for a loss from under center, and that wasn't good all over
> 3rd and 9 is Sanchez to Cooper, 16 yard score down the middle, and yeah, Red Isn't Good Either
> Parkey for a PAT gets through, Red 24, Green 21, 10:27 left
> STs do the job, Red starts at their own 17
> Cox with a 4 yard sack as Red gets cute with play action; nearly a strip
> Screen to RB Chester Thompson for 5, Green pressure trying to stop the offense just by themselves, which means roughing the passer flags all over the place, since touching the QB any more isn't allowed
> Deep ball to Jackson, underthrown, Allen able to come up and get a pick for the arm punt
> If that was actually thrown, it's another Red score, but Griffin's mechanical issues also means he's not that great at deep balls any more, either
> Sanchez to Cooper, drops the sit-down route
> Sanchez to McCoy for 11, nicely timed dump off
> Sanchez to TE Brent Celek, well-done screen release, 15 yards with RAC
> Sanchez to Sproles, telegraphed, RB nailed for a 2-yard gain
> Sanchez to Maclin, 18 yards with a great toe tap
> McCoy for nothing, Kerrigan stops the cutback
> Slow tempo on second and goal from the nine, Sanchez to Ertz for 4
> Third and goal is make or break with 6:30 left, tempo too slow, Sanchez to Ertz is too late, DPI not called, broadcast team doesn't notice because Ertz is a TE, rather than a prancy WR
> Parkey from 22 yards finally connects, game is tied
> Parkey to the end zone, but STs fail, and Red gets 41 yards from Roberts to start at their own 35
> Morris for 7, hole too big
> 2nd and 3 is Morris for little. DT Bennie Logan with the stop
> Griffin checks down for 4 yards to Reed, in front of Boykin, fairly easy
> Morris for nothing as Kendricks gets there, screen to Thompson loses two
> 3rd and 12 with three minutes left is stupid important, and Fletcher actually breaks up the play
> Poor throw by the QB, trying for WR Santana Moss
> Way to Sproles, who gets to the 15, and Green has 2:52, 3 timeouts, and 85 yards of field for an escape
> Sanchez to Sproles for 9, nice play call and execution
> Sanchez to Ertz for 5 and a first
> Sanchez to Ertz for 6, and that's the two minute warning
> Sanchez to Ertz, curl route for 11, and Red has to take a timeout for the automatic fake injury
> Sanchez tries Ertz, clear DPI, uncalled
> Sanchez to Ertz for 6, 15th catch for a franchise record, but, well, limited
> 3rd and 5 from the Red 48 is Sanchez to Maclin, throw is low and bad and picked, and yeah, He's Mark Sanchez
> Note that every single play in this have to have it and end the game drive was a throw by the league's most INT-prone QB
> Griffin to Garcon, spins on Williams, and yeah, the season is officially lost due to bad CB play
> Curry with a head tap adds 15 more yards
> Rather than let Red score and still have a chance to win the game, Green jumps offsides and tries to tackle
> Rather than let Red score and have a chance to win, Green tackles Morris after 7 yards and calls a timeout
> Rather than let Red score and have a chance to win, Green tackles Morris and calls their third timeout
> Red false starts, then throws Morris again, and yup, field goal with 10 seconds to end the season
> Forbath connects from 25, and yeah, Green was too stupid to win a game against a 3-win team
> Red squibs it, TE Trey Burton makes a great stop and sit, and Green has it at midfield with three seconds left
> Red knocks down the heave, and that's the season, or at least, should be
> On the plus side, Eagle Fan won't have to see this team for any more games after next week... which will also be a loss
> If you want to keep looking for positives, maybe this game convinces DC to keep Griffin and Gruden together
> Honestly, it's hard to lose a game when you have 190 more yards and the same number of turnovers, but penalties, missed field goals and dramatically dumb decisions will find a way
