Game Thread: Eagles @ Seahawks 2

Jj_flag_detail1_tiny by John Morgan on

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.

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.

Oh the Cowboys are so funny

Have a great wide receiver core…defense is decent…but oops. Didn’t invest in a backup QB!

I fucking hate you Mariners

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.

So only one episode is available right now.

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.

Damn.

Well, can’t win with reviews. Need to actually stop the player.

"Drinkability"

It’s as if they said “Budweiser tastes good” people would just snort and call bullshit.

Wallace is so green.

Not a bad backup though.

Time for the missed field goal...

I fucking hate you Mariners

So what's with Wallace's 16-step drop pass?

Is he claustrophobic or something when it comes to stepping up into the pocket?

by Wilder. on Nov 2, 2008 3:26 PM PST   0 recs

YES

LET DEHAVEN HAVE IT MIKE
