Week 16 Game Thread

[Mystic Merlin]

Really surprised RG3 didn't fumble there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

A bunch of fans seemed to think that was RGIII down based on the buzz.

 

[dcmissle]

I went to refresh a drink. Is that Trent Williams down? If so, they need to give him a seat for the rest of the season if it is not already too late

 

[dcmissle]

And there is your pick

 

[Al Zarilla]

Guy has an injured shoulder already and a 265 pound guy hits him right on it. That's football. 

 

[Average Reds]

Any INT here by either side is game changing. Both QBs need to avoid mistakes. If no stupid turnovers I think the Eagles win this.

Called the int. We'll see about the win.

 

[dcmissle]

That push could have brought a flag but it was a poor decision nonetheless

 

[mauf]

That looked like a really effective flop by Jackson. It was also completely uncatchable.

Well, the Eagles are more than even now. Push off on the WR there was comparable to what happened to Gronk in that infamous Carolina MNF game last year.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Awful throw.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Called the int. We'll see about the win.

Sanchy may f it up/ Popcorn ready?

 

[Gorton Fisherman]

It's not too late, Sanchez can still blow this.

 

[crystalline]

I'm not sure that counts as a game changer... Bad but not that bad- essentially a punt from deep in your own territory.

Lets see if the Eagles can execute.

 

[eddiew112]

Wow what a catch by Maclin

 

[dcmissle]

So many skill players on this team ... Good God

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

What a freaking catch. 

 

[mauf]

So many skill players on this team ... Good God

I think it's the system -- Macklin and Cooper aren't a lot better than, say, Lafell. McCoy is overrated too -- Jamaal Charles would go for 3,000 yards in this offense.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Haslett has aged a lot.

 

[Average Reds]

Time for the missed FG.

Edit: damn near missed it.

 

[crystalline]

I think it's the system -- Macklin and Cooper aren't a lot better than, say, Lafell. McCoy is overrated too -- Jamaal Charles would go for 3,000 yards in this offense.

I haven't watched a lot of the Eagles this year but has McCoy gotten worse? Over the last few years, back through Andy Reid, he's been an incredible runner.

It sure as hell isn't the QB

 

[dcmissle]

If the guy is not named Vinatieri or Gould, I not trust these kickers ... This guy can in 29 for 31 but Parkey cost them 6 points tonight ... This should be 30 to 24

 

[crystalline]

Nice throw RG3

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why are they letting Williams back out? He just got destroyed.

 

[dcmissle]

Look at Trent Williams ... Jesus

 

[mauf]

I haven't watched a lot of the Eagles this year but has McCoy gotten worse? Over the last few years, back through Andy Reid, he's been an incredible runner.

He's the same guy. Above average, but not the top-5 guy his numbers say he is (or at least was last year).

Edit: Not saying he wouldn't be a huge upgrade for a team like the Pats.

 

[Gorton Fisherman]

That Madden commercial really does itself a disservice by featuring Geno Smith of all people scoring and then doing the snow angel thing in the end zone. Seriously, what the fuck are the odds of this ever actually happening?

 

[crystalline]

Sanchez has been "wild within the zone" and has been taking risks... Let's see if he can clean it up this drive.

 

[dcmissle]

Ertz time ... There is no answer to him ... Sanchize needs to be careful though

 

[shawnrbu]

Sanchez nearing the completions record.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I liked how the first play they called after one armed Trent Williams came back in was a screen. Great coaching.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Ertz looking like vintage Jason Witten.

 

[dcmissle]

They will eventually double Ertz with a disguised coverage .. That's why Sanchize needs to be very careful

 

[shawnrbu]

Ryan Clark nearly with a gamechanger.

 

[Dollar]

Ryan Clark just took out one of his teammates.  Then nearly makes a big play on the next play.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Nice throw

 

[dcmissle]

15 receptions and they did not go to him enough early

 

[Average Reds]

Biggest play of the game coming up.

And Sanchez fails. Fucker.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Sanchez nearing the completions record.

Add one more.

 

[Al Zarilla]

There it is. Sanchize!

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Once a Sanchize, always a Sanchize.

 

[Greg29fan]

The Sanchize!

 

[Dollar]

I have no idea if that stands or not.  It looks like he has control, but the ball touches the ground a little, then moves a little when he brings it into his body.

 

[shawnrbu]

If this goes to OT, Sanchez has a chance to break Bledsoe's record and Ertz could break Brandon Marshall's record.

 

[dcmissle]

And that's another reason you cannot let these teams hang around ... Everyone is playing for a job next year unless they are really good

 

[dcmissle]

The Philly fans here are really good, but I never got the Foles hate .. You are playing with fire with this guy

 

[Al Zarilla]

Really forced it. Even though it was third down, no need for that. Ball at midfield, tie game. 

 

[Greg29fan]

great explanation Mike

 

[Ed Hillel]

Stay in bounds dummy.

 

[shawnrbu]

Cary Williams flushes the Eagles season down the drain.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Eagles defense is awful.  Can't be a contender with such a bad D.
