The Official Philadelphia Eagles Thread

In case anyone doesn't know, the Eagles website will be broadcasting Dawk's retirement ceremony on Sunday at 6pm.

So much truth, only Reid doesn't realize it.

 

1st and goal at the 1 yard line.

And we get a field goal.

Super awesome.

While i agree that it sucks you do realized that Reid somehow tried to run it all three times rather than pass it all three times

 

It's impossible to not love Shady. After the game when asked about getting a lot of carries he said something along the lines of:

"I don't need to get 25 touches for us to win. We have two of the best wide receivers in the league, a QB who can do it all, a tight end who is a beast.."

He sounded like he legit meant it. I love that dude.

 

Oh, and the Eagles are now 10-1 when he gets 20 or more carries. It's angering that they've only given him that many carries 11 times.

 

No doubt. Love the kid.

 

Observations from Week 4 against the Giants:

-Vick with another solid game. Once again, used his feet which made the defense have to account for the option of his scrambling. He needs to bust out a run or two in the first quarter of every game, just so the D coordinator knows he can't just ignore it.

-Shady... maybe we have finally learned that he needs to be fed the ball repeatedly to be effective. Just maybe...

-Receivers were solid if unspectacular.

-The corners played their worst game of the season, but that isn't saying much since they have basically been lights out this year with the exception of Fitzgerald.

-Easy to take the kicker for granted, but Henery has been outstanding since he has been here.

Great to have a win against the Giants. We can still get better, which is promising.

 

Maclin was invisible, but Jackson had a real good game.

Fletcher Cox is the truth.

 

Its nice to actually be 3-1 for once in the first quarter of the football season used to 2-2 1-3

 

Actually pretty excited for the Steelers. The defenses are giving up almost the exact same amount of yards.

See this, just like the last, coming down to whoever wins the turnover battle.

just a reminder of the last eagles steelers game where Bdawk made the huge play to eventually give us the win
