Reflecting On The Eagles’ Bye Week

mccoyThoughts of a 5-1 record, is it better, worse or what you projected when the schedule was released?

Question marks leading up to the season; some have been answered, yet so many others have been added to the mix.

The offense is still moving at a face pace, just not executing in all phases on a consistent basis, yet.  Overall, the Eagles are still the second highest scoring team in the league; but it’s how points are being registered that’s baffled the minds of those following the team.

Nobody could have expected the special team units and impact of the defense to outweigh how the offense has performed through the first six games.  The Eagles have registered a touchdown in seven of the eight non-offensive categories; that is hard to fathom, but the rarity is nothing but exciting to know your team can score anytime they step foot on the field.

Nick Foles has yet to have a game reminiscent of the “flawlessness” of last season.  McCoy had a McCoy like game on Sunday night, but the “Shady” of 2013 has yet to resurface.  The offensive line has made due with the available players, looking much improved the other night, and both Kelce and Mathis are working hard to make their returns sooner than later.  The wide receivers and tight-ends have taken turns as the weekly play-maker, a total team effort.

Sproles has been as advertised, able to impact the team in so many ways.   He may or may not sit out week 8 against the Cardinals, but it could have been worse, so much worse if he was done for the season.

-A shout-out to “Parkey,” place kickers get very little love, but what a pleasant surprise to have a kicker who can hit the long attempt and put the football in the back of the end-zone on kickoffs.

There have been multiple surprises with our own performance in addition to the NFC East, the Cowboys have played a smash mouth style and have excelled on defense, beating the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks on their own turf, the hated “star” is shining bright in Dallas.

The Giants have been decent and the Redskins not so great; it would appear it’s going to be a two headed race for the remainder of the season, how many days left until Thanksgiving?

I’m not really sure what grade I would give to the Eagles or what good that would even do.  It’s been such a “strange” season to date, but what happens when the offensive line returns to full strength, Foles is not turning the football over at such a high rate and McCoy continues the small sample size from Sunday?

If the Eagles could find a middle ground on the offensive side of the football between last year and this season and have the addition of what the defense and special team units have done in terms of contributing points, how far could this Eagles team go?

This Eagles team has its flaws, but we have also witnessed holes in the teams that were ranked ahead of us, like Seattle, San Francisco, New Orleans and Green Bay.

There are concerns, shared by you, me the coaches and players.

The ability to use those concerns and stay positive, work through adversity and be better for the next time, the new era of Eagles football.

Touchdown, first down, get down.

With a 5-1 Record Starting out and a 2-0 Record
Within the NFC East, the eagles deserve a
Solid B in my Book..
Can the Offense be more efficient,
Absolutely. can Foles make better decisions
And protect the Ball better, yes and he better
Start doing so these last 10 Games, which I believe he will.
McCoy looks back on track, the Receivers are playing well and the OL
Has gotten better and better each game..
Defensively, the Fromt 7 has improved,
Looks quicker off the Ball and is deep so Players can remain fresh
Cox,Logan,Barwin, Ryans and Safety Jenkibs gave all
Played well.. CB Fletcher has held his own
Boykin has been active…
Special Teams have been off the charts and bring an attitude
To the entire Team.. This Unit expects to make Plays and has Players flying round the field..
Punter D Jones is doing his Job at a high level and Kicker Parkey has
Been a God-Send, booming Kickoffs and making FG’s

MVP’s thus Far gave been a couple of former Saints in
Sproles & Jenkins

Eagkes will get LB Kendrick’s, and OL Kelce & Mathis
For the stretch run and the Team should really be clicking
For the home stretch

You are a tough grader…5-1 in the NFL and a great comeback that fell short in SF and only a B. I think what I like so far is the way the much maligned defense has made plays. they have a bunch of sacks (how is that possible with the lack of talent, according to some of you), take aways, scores etc.– Connor Barwin is a pro bowler for sure as is Cox I think. The secondary is what it is but Jenkins has really helped.
The offense and foles have taken a step back – i think part of that is that the other teams (remember they get paid too) have studied chip and foles and adjusted some things. Now its time for chip to do the same. Foles production last year was so off the chart that it can’t be duplicated but he will settle into a groove. Give them the A

I hear what your saying HAC, but I cannot give them an “A” due to too many
Turnovers and Red-Zone Missed Opportunities…
Some Questionable Decisions & Poor Passes by Foles, Some Questionable Play-Calls by Chip in the Red-Zone, only carrying 2 Healthy RB’s for most Games so far and the Struggles of OL & Running Game prevent them with Receiving an A Grade at this Time..
I am not sure any Team in the NFL deserves an “A” Grade

I am not talking about Style Points HAC

It’s about being Productive in the most important phases of the Game
Red-Zone Opportunities, Turnovers, 3rd Down Efficiency which of course leads to Points.. The Eagles have left more than their share of Scoring Opportunities on the field which hasn’t come back to bite them yet, but it will when they play better Teams
Foles will Play Better down the Stretch, I think he’s been pressing a bit to start the Season, Just like McCoy who had been pressing a bit too..
Defensively this Team has improved quite a bit
when you think about it, they played very well the first 3 Quarters vs the Rams before going to a prevent in the 4th which is always a losing proposition and played Strong the entire game last week vs the Giants
I expect when a healthy Kendricks returns, they should even be better with a Deep and Versatile Front 7 which is getting contributions from
the Starting 7 along with Graham,Curry,Allen, Bair, Matthews and I believe that we will see Marcus Smith II make some plays down the stretch.. Secondary is playing as a Unit, Nothing Special, but covering and tackling pretty well here the last few games.. If th ePass Rush continues to improve and DC Davis keeps dialing up Blitzes from different formations with fresh and hungry Players.. then they are in pretty good shape…

I agree with PM…a solid B ..why? Because it allows for improvement ..we all agree there is upside that we haven’t witnessed ..yet …12-2 in there last 14 is a trend ..the domination at the Linc (finally) is the personality this team had been lacking.Last year like a pair of new shoes ,the team was breaking them in ,and now it appears ,a new system ,on both sides of the ball have been assimilated …after the bye last year ,we beat the cardinals …with the next guy up mentality ,at 5-1 special teams that’s a solid A …depth and desire is unquestionable..one adjective we’ve never used is they came out flat..that’s a solid B to the coaching staff ,as I’d agree some time management ,and play calls ,have been questionable ..bill Davis returns to face off against his old squad ..if the playoffs began now,we are the number one seed and still ,we are anticipating improvement …Dallas and the Eagles are on a collision course ..they stop em again ,they stop em again …

think a B is way fair. offense and defense have been way to inconsistent to warrant an A. If they wouldve beat the niners i would have overlooked some of our inconsistencies and give them an A though

foles looks like hot garbage and has really looked bad at times. dude needs to get it the fuck together. at 5-1 we should be thinking at 1st round bye but with these fuckface cowboys looking unreal thats gonna be tough. the good news is we can play 5-5 the rest of the way and get in the playoffs. bad news is if foles doesnt figure it out we arent making any noise in the playoffs

Eagles needed this fabulous start — Birds look great and deserve an A grade, they are feature NFL team, whether they maintain that status is questionable — Arizona, Seattle, Green Bay, Dallas, and Carolina are also serious Super Bowl caliber teams that have a shot at beating the birds in the next few months. Eagles will be playing big time football and the major networks are going to be hanging around the Nova Care center because the Eagles games matter.

12 – 4

Arizona and Seattle are the “toss up” games…..split those and the Eagles should win 12.

I think A- is the least you can give this team. 5-1 after 6 games. A win in Indi, almost pulled it out in San Fran. I think most of us thought 4-2 after 6 and we’d be happy with that. Yeah the offense has not been consistent. But this is a team game and a team grade. And in terms of special teams, D, and offense, the Eagles have been one of the most complete teams in the NFL this season.

Happy about: defensive play mainly the pressure and T.O they have created. Studs have been Cox, Barwin with solid play from BG and Cole. Once Kendricks gets back expect to see more blitzes.
Special teams are the best ive seen since Harbaugh was here and they are playing better if you ask me. maclin staying healthy and the offensive line battling through inj. sproles boots he gives our special teams its been just a big a shot in the arm as Brian Mitchel was back in the day. 5-1 record overall is something to be happy about

Disappointed in: Foles just a little. just too many plays left on the field and bad T.O. Cooper has been a disappointment for a guy that looked like he had chemistry with our QB

Worried about: Nothing I ain’t worried about nothing Nahhhh! lol Foles can only get better especially with the run game and o-line coming back to form. we are down some big pieces and still have been winning a play away from being undefeated. Cowboys have won the superbowl last week their load is shot its going to be hard for them to get back up for games for a while with teams coming in giving they best game bc all the hype once again in big D.

Eagles beat Arizona after the bye then lose pretty handedly in Houston to the Texans. Even-flo. (It will be like the Minn game last year). . They split with Carolina and GB. Not sure which one they win yet. Beat Tenn.They split with Dallas and Seattle.then win there final 3 Dallas, NY and Washington. 11-5 or 12-4.

I wouldn’t be suprised if they lose both away games or sweep both. Arizona is weird team, they play great defense in the back end without a great pass rush. They throw the ball well but can’t run and Palmer is a statue. Houston can stay in any game off of the play of JJ Watt alone and they move him all over the place and they make plays on the ball. They also give up some bonehead plays.

If Foles is just level head and doesnt turn the ball over I like their chances. Not having Sproles though could be a big deal.

Paulman I am very pleased with MATTHEWS no offense but I love our 6’6 QB throwing to over 6’0 weapons. Brown may turn out to be a stud. But MATTHEWS is the ultimate Chip Kelly weapon. Natural Talent and the work ethic to go with it. And he is helping in the running game blocking wise. Size and speed. No more disappearing in the redzone or against press coverage.

I like WR Jordan Matthews alot also who they traded up in the 2nd Round to get and by Trading back a few spots in the 1st Roudn with the Browns were able to keep their 3rg/4h Round Picks which worked out well
Cardinals WR John Brown Jr was 3rd Round PIck by the Cardinals (#91 Overall) and at 5-10 180lbs and can fly, and is stronger than he looks and will probably mature into a 190lbs in 2 Years time reminds my alot of a Percy Harvin Type who can return Kicks, Punts, Run Reverses and Run Routes as a WR.. J Brown Jr came out of tiny Pittsburgh State College in Kansas which is a Division II School and a Perennial Power.. I have had my eye on him since last Oct/November and thought he would be a perfect fit in Kelly’s Scheme and basically replace D-Jax not only as the Deep Speed Threat but also contribute on more on Special Teams, etc,etc…

Eagles Selected Josh Huff at #86 when John Brown Jr was still on the Board… Let’s see who makes a bigger impact and has a longer, more productive Career and I like Josh Huff, I just think that John Brown Jr can be a very special Playmaker in the NFL in the Mold of a D-Jax, P Harvin or that a TY Hilton have become

Huff will be fine and once he builds confidence he will make plays like your pitt state guy does

I use Harvin as a Reference for that Brown can do many things as far as making plays in the Return Game, Running Reverses, Direct Snaps, Bubble Routes and playing WR and though Harvin is thicker, bigger and stronger, I still like Brown as a Playmaker and Brown will get bigger and stronger also in year or 2 , probably not as big as Harvin is, but definitely stronger than a D-Jax/TY Hilton who just don’t have the frame or strength and have to just rely on their Speed…

Harvin is a hypchodriac everyone knows that. But dude can ball when healthy. He’s been great as a receiver for the Hawks and was quite useful in the super bowl and has been ballin’ this year…can’t help that his 3 touchdown performance was negated by penalties. Some questionable ones at that.

Doesn’t make sense. It could be purely money, but wouldn’t you just wait to part ways ’till the end of the year. If he were a TO sized asshole folk would know. That level of assholery doesn’t stay hidden for long (though I think TO was misunderstood more than anything).

Caroll is known for being an egomaniac..so if harvin was questioning him at all (think Djax) coupled with his huge salary I could see that as a reason he’s been let go.

Say what you want about the Jets though, they ain’t going down without a fight even though it’s too little too late and they could have had DJax along with his favorite QB for much less.

Rumor has it he wanted the ball more. Wanted the offense to go thru him as opposed to Lynch (you know the Lynch they were frontin’ like they weren’t gonna pay) and they felt like if they didn’t do that, Harvin wouldn’t be happy. Perhaps he would have been vocal about his unhappiness.

*shrug*

It still doesn’t make sense for a team who’s receiving corps is pedestrian at best and Harvin’s ability as a receiver and a runner were a great fit for the offense they run over there in Seattle.

My sister taught at Harvin’s high school the stories I could tell about this guy is bananas he’s a bad guy a bad teammate just generally a bad person, they couldn’t wait to get him out of Gainesville he choked out his position coach beat up Rainey and Demps at a practice and old Urban just swept it all under the rug. He won’t be on the Jets next year either. A phenomenal waste of talent.

Well they said he punched Golden Tate and got in a fight with #3 as well as having MAJOR anger and trust issues.

So perhaps it’s not a surprise..but he seems to have teammates who really like him as well, which is maybe why you don’t hear him being a cancer like some others.

I guess maybe Carroll is like Chip Kelly in some ways. Maybe they both think the system is stronger than any one player. Maybe they are right, but it sure makes things different when a guy like DeSean or Harvin leaves.

The Eagles might win, and they might be better off without DeSean, but they are not the same without him… his absence is felt.

The biggest problem with Harvin since he came into the NFL that he doesn’t like to Practice.. He has a condition where his migraine headaches overwhelm,
He doesn’t like fly, and the Seahwaks simply unloaded $41 Million
Over the be t 4 Tears for a dynamic Player who has average
8 games a Season in his Career. Pete Carroll like competition and wants hux Players to practice daily and practice hard which has not been Harvin’s history which is the sane reason that the Vikings traded him to the Seahawks
In the first place.. They will only get a Mid -Round Draft pick from the Jers which tells you how bad they wanted to move him and his Salary

The Eagles could stand to mimic much of what Seattle does; having recently won a LOMBARDI and all. Djax was much more important to the STILL TRYING TO WIN A LOMBARDI Eagles, than Harvin was to the Hawks. good call Big.

And 19 of them when they’re in their own half and only 1 in the redzone.

Fair weather “me first” player who is more interested in dancing backwards into the endzone when his team is down 3 tds then winning a game.

Also when is that a metric? Oh yeah when Vinnie doesn’t have a point.

3 of the other wins are against Skins, Jax and Giants. Check their records.

Stop acting like not having Jax hasn’t been a factor on offense. And stop acting we’re 5-1 b/c of offensive production.

AND stop acting like Maclin (whom you love) is having such a great year. A great year for him…but Jax who is on a very shitty team has numbers that are comparable and he’s not in an offense that schemes receivers to be wide open.

No ONE IS ARGUING THE WINS.

Notice how I was VERY clear on that. I was arguing they are not a product of OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION.

And that you using 5-1 as excuse for anything other than excellent special teams and defense play in the argument regarding DJax’s value to the OFFENSE is LAME and DISINGENUOUS.

“When they r run a west coast offense primarily schemed to get guys open.”

No – I’m referring to those WIDE OPEN NO ONE WITHIN MILES looks that Kelly gives his QBs – no west coast offense has WR open like that. But you KNOW what I meant – yet, similar to the Djax comment you’re talking about things that don’t apply.

Once again offensive production isn’t why we’re winning. And DJax is not in a system as QB and receiver friendly as Maclin – yet is still putting up similar numbers.

Facts that you can’t dispute or address other than say 5-1. And yes without special teams and defense we’re looking at 3-3 or 2-4 ’cause the OFFENSE the part of the team that was supposed to be the best hasn’t been producing well at all.

“Disingenuous is you trying to overvalue a player who you stated whose loss was gonna cripple the team etc etc etc and it bluntly you were WRONG.”

I NEVER said that. EVER. I said that the offense would still be successful without DJax, but going to wr by committee when one guy produces 1382 yards was dumb. And thinking Cooper and Mac were a better combo than Jax and Mac was also dumb.

You don’t get rid of your best offensive player for nothing believing he’s so easy to replace.

Turns out you’re right about one thing…I was wrong…offense was MUCH better with Jax than without. Ooops my bad.

Both Deals could or could not happen..
Graham will be leaving as a Free-Agent
After 2014 regardless of how well he plays in a Rotational
Role.. He wants to Start in the NFL and many Teams
Would like to have him…
James Casey is a luxury and expendable and again with injuries around
The NFL at TE, some Teams may be willing to trade a 5th/6th Pick or a Back-Up ILB that the Eagles could use..
A cheaper, younger TE/HB in Trey Burton
Can do and replace the Snaps of Casey..

Carrying 4 TE’s,6 WR & 3 QB’s has left Eagles
Thin at RB, OL & LB in my opinion and could come back to haunt
The Eagles as the Season and injuries mount..

For the Colts who have Wayne,TY, Moncrief &
2 Good TE’s in Allen/Fleener..
Nicks is on a 1 Year $5 Million Deal and a low risk
Pickup and could help the Eagles in the Red-Zone where they are struggling.. Graham is going to walk after this Season, so you may as well get something for him.. Who knows, Nicks gets more opportunities,

Maybe if Harvin wasn’t a serial teammate puncher he could file suit for character assassination. But my guess is he’ll continue punching out teammates until he ceases to have a job.

“1 of those wins was a gift.
1 of those wins happen b/c of special teams play.
3 of the other wins are against Skins, Jax and Giants. Check their records.”

No one is arguing the wins! Right after she argued the wins.

Simply the best TS. You can’t make this shit up!

Typical Vinnie taking the convo out of context as per usual.

The convo was about an offensive players importance to the offense. Telling me 5-1 out of context was dumb…hence the point about the wins.

But hey take a part of the convo to make a non-existent point.

I’m not trying to make any point….except that you’re freekin’ hilarious the way you say one thing, then immediately say the other, then say the second thing (or the third) is what you meant all along.

Its beautiful stuff.

Desean is indespensible!
I never said Deasean was indespensible!

Kelly needs a mobile QB!

The run-game will disappear with Foles under Centre!

MV7wins is the best QB in the league!
Cam Newton is the Best QB in the league!
Colin Kaepernick is the best QB in the league!
I never said any of them were the best in the league!

Its just brilliant. You get to be two people at once without going through all the trouble SongsBreeze does by making up two different handles!

Well done.

The Washington Redskins have a win, the game Desean Jackson didn’t play in; hmmm… now how did that happen without DJax getting triple teamed and making everyone else open?

Seattle traded out of the first round #32 with Minnesota ( Teddy Bridgewater) into the 2nd round where they traded back again with Detroit from #40 (OLB Van Noy) to pick #45 ( WR Paul Richardson ). Then used the Detroit 4th rounder ( #123) they got from moving from #40 to #45 to select wide receiver Kevin Norwood. So Percy Harvin’s game snaps will be replaced with the 2 wide receiver picks they got from trading Teddy Bridgewater: Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood.
