After the game last night, someone on one of the 18 post game shows on TV pointed out that it’s hard to succeed when your first wide receiver gets injured and you’re missing your starting running back, second wide receiver, and two starters on the offensive line, all with a rookie quarterback. That about sums it up. All season, I’ve been baffled when the Eagles score a touchdown because how’d they do that? They dink and dunk their way to mid field and then usually you blackout from boredom and next thing you know Ryan Mathews or some shit scampers into the end zone. Last night, the Eagles’ improbable luck starting a bunch of practice squad-level skill players finally had them regress to the mean, which, apparently, is the bottom of a trash can.

That it was, Edward. That it was indeed.

To the Droppings!

Allen Barbre

I look forward to the next State Farm commercial where Allen Barbre obliterates Clay Matthews and then he asks whether it will be covered by his rep.

 

Black face?

Can anyone confirm if this is indeed an Eagles fan in black face?

 

DGB

I’m not sure what got into DGB or at what point during the pre-game warmup he looked into the mirror and realized that he is larger than 4’6 and 120 pounds, but his effort on the first drive was downright impressive and simultaneously frustrating, because you realized that he had been hiding this ability for the last 10 games. I mean, look at this stat line:

Incredible!

But for real, he looked like the guy I presume every scout, coach and a teammate he’s come across over the last two years thought he could be… until he disappeared the rest of the game and only made one more catch.

After the game, DGB managed to unintentionally tweak just about everyone, first swapping jerseys with Damarious Randall…

… and then twisting the knife of Jordan Matthews’ injury and reminding everyone that, yeah, we could’ve used Agholor:

I have no problem with the picture, because I’m just a:

 

Wentz

For a brief period, Carson Wentz looked like he was gonna go toe-to-toe with Aaron Rodgers. He went balls-forward for the first touchdown of the game and then scrambled effectively a couple of more times with little regard for his body. But then, he reminded us all of his rookie status and propensity to let balls sail when he airmailed one over the middle and it was picked by Lol Hillary Cox, or if you prefer, Ha Ha Clinton Dix.

 

Aaron Rodgers

This throw though:

I wonder if when he does stuff like this it means he gets to do butt stuff with Olivia Munn after the game. She seems like the type of chick to offer that sort of incentive structure.

 

Troll

Great troll by the Eagles here pre-game. If only it had worked.

 

Smallwood

Does someone want to tell Wendell Smallwood this isn’t high school? He looks ridiculous.

This is maybe top 5 most Philly thing ever.

 

ESPN Coverage

God it’s awful. The broadcast itself is fine – I like Sean McDonough and Jon Gruden a lot – but the production and surrounding coverage is just bad. It seems everyone or everything has a branded segment. Come On Man, You Got Mossed, Gruden Grinder, Berman Lap Band, etc. There is nothing natural or organic about their coverage– it’s all forced, with egos trying to outdo each other, and poor, JV production values. Never mind the gratuitous First Take segment at halftime. I imagine Fred Gaudelli cringes every time he turns this junk on.

 

Gruden

I still love him, even if I am convinced he wants Aaron Rodgers to be his host in Westworld.

Killing hookers for sport. No doubt.

 

Bengals next week. Fly now.
