Game Thread: Eagles @ Seahawks 2

Quick Cap:
It's a good, tight ball game. Seattle needs its run game to make some strides, because through the half the Eagles have turned it into a liability. Obviously, the Eagles have an excellent run D and are sitting run, but getting some gains, converting some firsts, that's what Seattle needs to take some burden off Wallace. Wallace has played well. He's holding the ball too long and is hit and miss under pressure - flipping two impossibly stupid "passes" - but this is a damn good defense and he's making some good passes, finding open men and has suffered some drops. Right now, Wallace is outperforming his offense.
The D is playing strong, but you can see some cracks. If Seattle can't keep its offense on the field, the bend breaks and the Eagles will turn this into a blowout. We're already starting to see that.
Despite the score, this game is trending badly. If this season ever had a man-up time, it's the second half of this game.

"Right now, Wallace is outperforming his offense."
Well said

I think that's unfair to the rest of the offense.
The rest of the offense is having to dumb everything down because of Wallace in the first place, that really limits what plays can be called and REALLY makes it tough for the running game. The Eagles are giving us the pass (in one case, the biggest one, almost literally).
I do give you that the drops have hurt.

How did they give the pass on that play?
It was a blitz.
by John Morgan on Nov 2, 2008 2:58 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
the corner gave it by biting on the fake
I’m just saying the Eagles really blew it.

Oi.
Well that was a lousy start to the half.

John Ryan is approaching Brian Russell on my shitlist.

Kerney and Hasselbeck
That’s what’s wrong with this team.

It was quite predictable

Oh the Cowboys are so funny
Have a great wide receiver core…defense is decent…but oops. Didn’t invest in a backup QB!

Screw it
I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to ramchallenge.com. I want to know why that house explodes when they drive through it.

I've been trying to avoid it as well. I might take a peak myself.

We have to wait to see the building explode another time.

I thought I saw the left foot in bounds
then the right foot dragging before the knee hit the turf. I need to see it again, though.

Hmmm.
I got one look and started typing so I’ll wait for the replay.

All the pressure is coming from the interior.

So what's with Wallace's 16-step drop pass?
Is he claustrophobic or something when it comes to stepping up into the pocket?

Who was the seahawk defender who jumped in the air, ostensibly blocking McNabbs pass? He missed McNabb by miles.

so, the question is...
should we go 2-6 as of today, and the Cards pretty much taking over the division,
do we pretty much give up on actually making the playoffs and start preparation for next season?

Half-assed pass rush
Horribly stupid and not at all disguised blitzing and atrocious display of hands by the receivers. Basically everything you thought was wrong with this team is. Marshall is an idiot.
After Babineaux missed a totally free shot at McNabb we decided to use him as one of only two guys in coverage in an all out blitz despite his total lack of coverage ability.
