The biggest early surprise of the Saints Eagles game is WR Riley Cooper, the most hated man on the team (besides coach Billy Davis for some weird reason).
Predictably, fans and writers complained when the Eagles threw to him on 4th and 7, incomplete. It looked like miscommunication between Bradford and Cooper, or perhaps an option play where Bradford threw the wrong way.
But Cooper has quietly been having a decent stretch here, starting with his 62-yard touchdown last week. Today, he caught a very low 14-yard ball on a key 3rd and 9. Yes, Bradford was targeting Cooper when he threw that terrible interception in the end zone, but Riley was wide open. He did his job and should have had an easy touchdown.
Late in the 2nd quarter, Bradford threw a low pass up the middle to Cooper, broken up on a great play by Keenan Lewis (who shut down DeSean Jackson in the 2013 playoffs). Even there, Cooper — who was injured on the play — used his body to prevent an interception, something Miles Austin should have done better in the red zone earlier.
I know he’s fun to hate, between his drunken racist rant, his bloated contract, lack of production last year and that hair, b ut give credit where credit is due. The Eagles have a lot of problems but right now, Riley Cooper is not one of them.
UPDATE: Of course, Cooper has a drop 5 seconds after I post this.

You have a gun with one bullet; Jim and Mark are posting inane mindless nonsense. What do you do?
I mean that’s easy, right? Kill yourself?
Who runs the 97.5 Twitter account during Eagles games? It’s almost embarrassing to be associated with a fan like that
I KNOW COOPER DOESNT LIKE THE BLACKS BUT HE HAD A GOOD GAME THIS COULD BE THE START OF A RUN. I LIKE TO BE POSITIVE SO I WILL SAY 10-6 BABY!
I LOVE IT. THE SAINTS WERE AM ELITE TEAM FOR YEARS AND THEY COULDNT HANDLE THE EAGLES OFFEMSE TODAY. WHEN WE ARE ROLLING NO ONE CAN STOP US. THIS COULD BE THE START OF A STREAK. THE SAINTS SHOULS BE CALLED THE AINTA. HA HA.
you should go take a typing class
Eagles Eve last night 7 ish. Turn on WIP l and here a College Football announcer say Michagans defense hasnt been scored on 3 games? Im like are these A-holes really broadcasting a U Michingan Football game on WIP? Who The Fuck Cares Click….. Switch over to 97.5 and I hear a rebroadcast of a Mike Doucheanlli + Brian zzzzz Westbrook show? Sports talk Radio in Philly is at Rock Bottom
I agree. I get pissed when I turn on the radio and the Flyers or Sixers game is on. who the fuck listens to this garbage? One year 97.5 carried the Pro Bowl. REALLY?
Here the deal. Bloom knows it is cheaper to carry $hit college games than pay weekend people to do shows. You have noticed with the lack of talent, he has old retreads on like Jodie Mac and G. Cobb. Hell, they fire Eskin and Macnow from their shows and they are still hanging around. Finally, Macnow, Morganti, Eskin and Cataldi are all over 60 and the E.E.O. two hour Sonny Hill show is a joke as Sonny only talks 1950’s and 60’s because Sonny is 80 years old.
This person retarded writing this??? Enjoy the win, mark. Pussy
What it is my blancos? Riley Cooper for PreZident son son!
Congrats. You’ve written the stupidest post ever. Cooper hurts this team by his mere presence. After you saw him drop the pass that hit him between the numbers you thought you should still post anyway? Moron
Hes still a racist, Fuck him
