I think you are over hyping the win and the defensive performance here. once Wallace went out the game was over unless the eagles gave them points via turnovers. in fact for a free agent QB who signed after the pre-season and playing his 1st ever downs in the NFL one could argue that Eagles defense actually didn't shut him down enough.

best thing foles did today was not throw an interception. let's be honest the two long TD passes were fairly lucky.

word on Comcast is the Vick is probably done for the year so I don't think you have to worry about making any decision anyways.

with that being said don't look a gift horse in the mouth. take the win and tie for 1st place. so fucking due to win a home game too.

oh and Give to Fly at the start on Fox was pretty cool.

All that writing and you couldn't say ONE good thing about Foles? You becoming the person you like the least more and more.

Nice win. I didn't get to see much. I hope the injuries aren't too bad. Nice to see Shady running like that again. I was following on twitter and heard Shady was tackled by a couple exorcist type facemask pulls. Who would've thought 4 out of 6 at home would be a bad thing?

I don't grade on a curve. praised is earned not given out lightly.

overhyping? no this is a team that struggled to win 4 games with last year. so i will enjoy every win they get. chiefs fans aren't upset that they haven't played a team with a winning record yet (and a bunch of back up qb's as well). it's the nfl. "every win in this league is a good win."

the defense did absolutely everything you could as of them. the plan all along was to stop lacy, one of the game's best rb's of late, and they held him to 3 yards per carry. mission accomplished. they gave up some yards through the air but only 13 points. excellent job by the defense. excellent.

i'd say completing 67% of his passes, gaining some clutch 38 yards on the ground, managing the game effectively while putting up a 149% qb rating was pretty good.....you know, to go along with 3 more touchdowns...and still zero interceptions. bobby hoying would be proud huh?


go birds.

i'm loving the wins too but saying the defense was excellent - really? stopping that team yesterday was as impressive as Dallas and the Giants stopping the birds with Matt Barkley (and they didn't do as well as those two teams did against Barkley). Tolzien did complete 61.5% of his passes for 12 yards per reception. that's not very good against a guy who was on the practice squad last week.

foles has played well this year overall. the no interceptions is damn impressive but yesterday I thought he was just ok even though that is all it took. 2 TD passes were fairly lucky. even you can't dispute that.

Obviously it was an easier task than if Rodgers were in there...but yes, holding Lacy to 3 yards per carry and only giving up 13 points--that is an excellent performance. I couldn't ask for anything more. They game planned to stop the run so obviously they would give up some yards in the air (these aren't the 85 Bears). But they forced a couple picks and, again--13 points allowed. That is a great effort.

Moving in the right direction....

definitely moving in the right direction so I will agree with you on that. I just don't like to throw out the words great and excellent so casually. I reserve those for more special moments and games.

well if i were grading the defense yesterday, i'd give it an A overall.

glad we agree that the team is moving in the right direction, though. after the previous few years, for me, that is the only thing this season is about. anything more is gravy.

When do you guys plan on winning your first home game??

At home against Redskins next week! This would be a good time to start!

The Cowboys are on a bye week - perfect opportunity - don't blow it!!

I sold my tix to friend because it's my son's last soccer game of the year. The Detroit game has a chance to be flexed.

woohooo! the cheesesteak defense!!!!

YOUR first place, Philadelphia Eagles.


balanced offense....another good game from foles...defense continues to improve--barwin was such a solid pick up last spring. he was a beast again today.

it just feels nice to have meaningful late season football in these parts for the first time in a long time. kelly has done a great job with this team so far.


GO.BIRDS.

:thumbup:

first home win since last September Defense looked solid. Just erase the 4th quarter from our minds. Anyone else have a heart attack (besides the almost comeback) when McCoy went down?

Nice win. Got a little help from that awful interception at the me. But a win is a win.

Really hoping that Dallas/Philly showdown in week 17 is for the division.
