The Official Patriots vs Eagles game thread

[The Gr8est]

Eagles reserves are fresh, Pats reserves have played the whole game.

That's a great sign.

I know that his stats have proven otherwise, but I'm always a bit apprehensive to see his attempts from that deep.

I know he took a lot of heat last year, it was his first season back after major surgery and he just wasn't right. Like they say it takes TWO years to completely come back after surgery

Our 4th string LBs are awful

 

[Betterthanmost]

Dowling is playing? I am scared of that guy even practising.

 

[The Gr8est]

Niko has made a couple of nice defensive plays tonight.

 

[Deus Irae]

Screw that! If Mallet keeps playing like this let's trade Hoyer and keep Mallet as #2.

You figure Mallett will get bailed out by penalty calls 2 and 3 times a drive during the regular season?

Branch > Stallworth tonight
Not seeing Stallworth get separation deep
I had expected The Twig to be done and cut
After this...

My thoughts exactly.

Also, what the hell is dowling still doing out there?? This is one guy I wouldn't take a chance with..

I guess his knee or hip or what ever he had operated on two years ago has finally healed completely

His quad tore completely off the bone.

If Gruden didn't suck up to every player he talks about, he would be the best analyst in the game. Unfortunately, I find him insufferable with all the ball washing.

Can't treat him like he's made of glass
He has no NFL experience to speak of
Really needs the reps

You think he didn't look good regardless?

 

[Deus Irae]

No. I don't just erase INTs and lousy throws because of late roughing the passer calls that are really just late love taps. He's had his moments, but he's shown why he's 3rd string.

Good point. But then again, he'd also have legit targets to throw to and (hopefully) tackles that don't completely blow.

Now THATS a Major injury. Just the sound of it hurts.

 

[JackBauer]

Stallworth doesn't get much separation these days.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Stallworth cannot seem to fight for the ball

 

[The Gr8est]

Stallworth is NOT beating out Branch.

 

[Anteros]

Stallworth doesn't get much separation these days.

Yeah, I don't know if it's all him or the QB's he's playing with but he hasn't looked good at all.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Stallworth is NOT beating out Branch.

Based on this one game
Two more to go and we don't see the daily results

Ebner almost killed a guy
