Re: Philly postgame week 1
D looked great but that was a very depleted Philly O. A better test next week I think? O is a concern hopefully they will get in sync but that was a solid game management O given the circumstances. A win against a divisional opponent since 2018 so I'll take it.

Re: Philly postgame week 1
Nfl.com reporting Haskins made the halftime egg while RR had a (planned) IV. Apparently said all the right things and apparently got them up for the 2nd half. Maybe he won't be the franchise QB we are looking for, but seems he has the leadership qualities at least. Maybe the confidence boost with the win will carry on into next week?

Re: Philly postgame week 1
Haskins started slow but he did enough to win today. Same goes for the rest of the team. Also first opening game win since 2014, that is crazy to me. For one week, we're happy. Can't wait to see how this team does when everything is firing on all cylinders.

Re: Philly postgame week 1
Just a few random thoughts about today...
The Game: I was impressed with the persistence of the team and Haskins seemed to play well! The Radio Broadcast: I was working at my part time job all day and listened to the Sports Talk 980 stream most of the day, and I actually enjoyed listening to the broadcast team. Personally I think that Julie Donaldson, Bram Wiestien, and Fred Smoot did well. The Uniforms: While kind of plain, I did like the look of the uniforms. Personally, however, I would prefer the gold (yellow) pants with the Burgundy jerseys as opposed to white pants. Just my thoughts Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

Re: Philly postgame week 1
Today's game shows what a difference coaching makes.
Loved RR's 4th and 1 call. CRed and I were talking how, in the past, Gruden would have just gone for a FG to take the lead and then let the opposing team drive the ball down the field for the go ahead TD. RR previously discussed some of the things he learned when he first became a head coach and said that one of his early mistakes was failing to put away teams when he had them down. Now, he said, he tries to make sure he keeps his foot on the other teams throat. Going for it on 4th, instead of taking the easy go ahead FG, was him doing just that. So very different than the last several years (Gruden with the lead: "We are ahead? Cool, everybody take five, imma gonna go get a soda"). We can't spot opposing teams 17 points; I think Arizona's a better team than Philly so next week is going to be a real challenge. For now, however, just gonna enjoy the W.

Re: Philly postgame week 1
Arizona is legit on Offense , they have weapons and Kyler is good but if we can rush the passer like today, we will be in the game

Re: Philly postgame week 1
Murray is a stud, however one big hit from one of our DL and he’ll be done.

Re: Philly postgame week 1
When was the last time we saw a pass rush like we saw today? That 2nd half was so fun to watch.

Re: Philly postgame week 1
A brand new offensive and defensive system. Young QB and a lot of young and undrafted players on both sides of the ball. No pre season games. Limited practice reps due to COVID.
The first half was what I expected it to be. The o line we knew was an issue. They didn’t give Haskins enough time to step into his throws early on. They had to build some chemistry and some reps on both sides of the ball early. And it showed. But damn if the players and coaches didn’t MAKE. SOME. ADJUSTMENTS. WTF is an adjustment?! I heard about them from fans of other teams but I haven’t seen ‘em on this team in a loooooong time. Bottom line folks, we have a young team with good core players (that we still obviously need to add to in several positions) and some DAMN GOOD coaches. That’s the X factor. In years past, we would have shit the bed in the second half. Sloppy play, guys blaming each other, no discipline. But not today. I can’t tell you how proud I finally am to be a fan of this team. It’s been hard for awhile, but I feel like we have something to build on and make some serious noise in the future. Maybe not this year. But maybe....

RK Young Dline Moreland Moreau Haskins (improving throughout the game, and good leader) Gibson - Wes Martin got embarrassed a couple of times, he's been disappointing so far Scherff didn't have a good game either Geron Christian is not an NFL starting LT Overall our OL came together and did the job but it's not gonna be good enough against better defenses I like that we're playing our base defense a lot, but seeing LBs trying to cover Ertz and Goedert was embarrassing Apke is still taking bad angles, not sure he has good vision for this position Washington WIN ! No points allowed in the second half ! Awoooo !
