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.

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.
the corner gave it by biting on the fake
I’m just saying the Eagles really blew it.
Do you approve that message?
I fucking hate you Mariners
Why don't you pick on some more white players! I kid.
I fucking hate you Mariners
It was quite predictable
I fucking hate you Mariners
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 think you're right.
I fucking hate you Mariners
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.
We are biting on that play EVERY time
I fucking hate you Mariners
these Mac commercials are making me want to throw up
that stupid, cheeky piano score is painful to the brain.
No pressure at all...this is terrible.
I fucking hate you Mariners
"Drinkability"
It’s as if they said “Budweiser tastes good” people would just snort and call bullshit.
FUCK...what a throw
I fucking hate you Mariners
I won't miss Holmgren and his poor time management
I fucking hate you Mariners
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?
Hey..I remember this team. It's like the 1990's
I fucking hate you Mariners
for picking Ryan DeHaven should probably go
on top of, you know, everything else
Good grief.
John Ryan is my biggest suckfest of today’s game.
I would like the fans in Qwest to riot and burn the place down...please
I fucking hate you Mariners
I'm cool with collateral damage.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Oh look.
Another third down blitz that ends in disaster.
We're getting owned
I fucking hate you Mariners
has anything positive happened from the blitz?
at all? why keep doing this?
Time for an all out blitz! And they'll drop it off to Westbrook for a TD
I fucking hate you Mariners
Time for the draw
I fucking hate you Mariners
I hope he considers throwing himself off one of the concourses.
That would get the message across better.
Put a sand pit, hurdles, and a high jump bar and he'd look great out there!
I fucking hate you Mariners
OH MY GOD
This is fricking painful… how many times can we ahve guys with clean shots at the QB and just have them wave a hand by…
FUCK.
I don’t think I can handle another full season of this…
OH WAIT we did it again as I was talking.
HAHAHAHAH!
Who was the seahawk defender who jumped in the air, ostensibly blocking McNabbs pass? He missed McNabb by miles.
How the fuck do you forget about Westbrook...someone needs to die.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Someone needs to fucking shadow westbrook..this is stupid.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Going to a commercial after a kickoff should be banned
put it in the constitution.
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?
06 Vikings game with first pass D.Jackson slant for TD
yeah, good bye playoffs. 7-1 the rest of the way is not possible.
"I know this, the Cards can't win on the east coast"
I’m actually rooting for the Cards to win a game on the east coast.
#1 team in DVOA, #1 team in DVOA, #1 team in DVOA...
it’s plausible that it would have been a repeat of the NYG game if this was on the road. They, incidentally, are #2 now.
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.
