Anyone notice that the Eagles have the #1 D/ST in fantasy by a pretty large margin?

It's crazy how productive the defence and special teams have been, ppl prolly jus look at the points we've given up and don't take the pace we play at into account and assume the Eagles are a bad defensive team.

The Special Teams and defence have low key carried us to 5 wins. O-Line been in shambles, Shady and Foles struggling, and we're still 5-1 off the strength of our D/ST.

If this keeps up and the offence gets healthy and finds it's stride:whew:
exactly, we havent even really turnt up... Hopefully last night is the beginning of that

taken the place they play maybe its just more opportunity for the D to make turnovers....


Thanks for the neg by the way

Lets be honest.
If someone told you that going into the bye:

Foles QB rating would be below 90 and he would look very shaky at times
Shady's lack of production would be a major NFL storyline and he only went for 100 once
Mathis and Kelce would miss a huge percentage of the snaps and their backups would struggle
Kendricks would get hurt forcing Casey Matthews into major PT
Williams and Fletcher would play no better than you would pessimistically hope they would
They only played 60 solid minutes in one game

What would you have said their record would be?
This squad is finding ways to win and their injuries don't appear serious.
Just hitting our stride.....

Did anyone else notice that once the run game opened up.

Chip stopped those deep throw play calls to Maclin and KKKooper. We need the run game.
Thats what our offense is its a run first offense. Our run sets up our offense to start getting the play-action passes going.

Yeah their fantasy #s are definitely inflated due to the pace but it's still surprising to see them at #1. The special teams really are that good though.

If we are going to go 3-1 this next stretch. Foles needs to play A LOT better. He was good yesterday but then shyt just fell apart. His mechanics just went from Nicky Montana to Josh Freeman. :ld:

But what im really hoping is that our defensive showing yesterday is a showing of whats to come. Because if our defense can keep playing like that then we are going to be just fine. Of course i dont expect a shut out but getting back to shutting down the run. Then Billy dialing up the blitzes & doing a good job of getting them home. Then we are going to be straight. Our corners & Nate Allen is the only thing that really concerns me. :lupe:

I dunno brehs. I think it all depends on Shady. Hes had his first 100 yard game, if that gets him going i think the offence will be lethal again as he is the main focalpoint. Defence is playing well at the moment....only game im worried bout is the Packers as Rodgers is on fire :wow:

:patrice: I don't know breh, I think last night is fools gold. Hear me out. The Giants were not doing what most other teams that faced the Eagles this year have been doing to shut down the run game (i.e. Stack the box with four line man or line backers and have the secondary play zone on the intermediate routes.). Giants were rushing four only and having the linebackers play coverage most of the night and the secondary playing Man Coverage mostly.

I think the interior of our o line without Kelce and Mathis is still questionable. The Giants coaches are just idiots

The Giants game plan on the defensive side of the ball was retarded :why: why not do what has been proven to work to stall the eagles offense. :why:

I just hope especially since we may be without Sproles, That Chip and Shurmur do not think that they will get a repeat of last night and they spend this bye week trying to find a way to get Shady going when defenses stack the box.

I thought the mechanics were good last night :ld: He trusted the offensive line to protect him, He was setting his feet (That TD pass to Ertzy was a real thing of beauty :ohlawd:) , He hit most of his throws. and was not forced to throw the deep ball which gets him into trouble and stalls the offense (and because the giants defensive strategy was retarded)


his decision making on those two picks were horrible and that is what worries me about him the most. I like that he has confidence that he can make a play. But sometimes the play is not there and you just have to throw it away. Don't force anything that is not there. Or you are about to get sacked, just get down, don't risk the fumbles or the injury. (Leave that for Romo).

Like you and I know, a turnover could dramatically turn a game and he has had too many of those bonehead turnovers this year. It has not caught up to him but the probabilities in football say that it will and it will cost them a game.

You are right I am liking our defense. Our defense is pretty solid, we have athletic pass rushers, and solid inside line backers.

Nate Allen is the one that worries me but since Malcolm Jenkins has been here as the primary coverage safety, it has helped so much. For years it was Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman back there and they were blowing coverages left right. Jenkins presence has put less pressure on Nate Allen and they are using him more in run support.

Williams and Fletcher I am not worried about as much,they are veterans and their pass coverage has not been horrendous (you don't really see them getting burned too often), as long as we generate a pass rush and don't leave them out there for long in man coverage, they are serviceable. (We still need to draft or sign a solid corner in the offseason tho. Boykins is really good in the slot so no worries with him.

I like the fact they were using the I formation more last night with Casey and Burton back there as lead blockers to help McCoy a bit.

(We still need to draft or sign a solid corner in the offseason tho. Boykins is really good in the slot so no worries with him.

Chip said they werent playing that much 2 deep safety. But still our run game was doing some different things, that i personally think will getting our running back to where it needs to be. I think the Giants tried to take away Maclin with some 2 deep looks because Mac has been getting deep. But Foles has been missing him. So the Giants dared us to beat them on the ground. Which in turn we did. I think that will get our OL's confidence up & Shady had his steez back.

So if it was fools gold i think that was a mistake. Because now all Shady needed was one game to get him going back to being the Shady we know & love. Also our OL being having more continuity helped out a lot. Bane being back has been a blessing. Tobin looked a lot better at LG also Chip got Molk on the move more having him pull. Which is his strong suit, so i think it was more game plan then Giants.

------------------

I agree most of the night Nick was back to Nicky Montana. But like you said those two INTs imo are worrisome. Because he really wasnt under any pressure. That first INT Chip said Foles was trying to throw the ball outta bounds. If thats the case then Foles either has a weak arm or Chip is lying. Because that shyt wasnt even close to going out of bounds. We know Foles can throw a ball outta bounds just go back to that last play in the 9ers game in the redzone( :beli: ). Foles need to just live another down when the play isnt there. Chip & Mustgrave need to hammer that into Foles. Because thats what Foles was so good at last year (his decision making).

But i just hope that he gets it out of the way sooner rather then later. Because if we can get Nick Montana hot & get our OL healthy plus keep our running game back on top. With our defense? I think we can get hot & make a run in all seriousness.

The thing that worries me with Nate Allen is that he still makes some WTF were you think plays. Like yesterday on that TD that was called back. He straight up took Carroll out when Nolan was trying to break up the pass. But i think Jenkins as got Nate to quit thinking & just play football. Which is what Jenkins said Nate needed to do when he(Malcolm) was watching the tape of Nate.

Cary i dont worry about as much as i do with Bradley. Because Billy likes to have our corners play off coverage. Which isnt our corners strong suit, they are press man corners. They get their work done at the LOS. So when Billy has Bradley play off he doesnt have the break back speed to make plays when WRs run come back routes. Which is what the Giants ran yesterday to get most of they catches. Most of them were on Bradley too. Which is why i think corner needs to be high on our draft board. Because we need corners who have a little more change of direction speed.
