The Eagles didn’t play too well today and they were lucky this game was as close as it finished on the scoreboard.  Michael Vick was lousy today as he completed 26 of 40 passes for 315 yards with 2 TD passes and 4 INTs (one was returned 31 yards for a TD by Bills’ LB Nick Barnett).  Vick also carried the ball 5 times for 90 yards (18.0 ypc) in this game.  Lesean McCoy was underused in this game by the Eagles.  He carried the ball 11 times for 80 yards (7.3 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 4 passes for 27 yards (6.8 avg).  WRs Jason Avant (9 rec, 139 yards), Desean Jackson (5 rec, 86 yards, TD) and Jeremy Maclin (6 rec, 54 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Eagles in this game.  The Eagles finished up with 174 yards on 19 carries (9.2 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 40 passes (65%) for 315 yards as they had possession of the ball for 26:22.

San Francisco 49ers 24, Philadelphia Eagles 23

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Game Reports,General by admin on Monday 3 October 2011 at 1:21 am

The Eagles had a 23-3 lead in the 3rd quarter today before every facet of the team broke down and allowed the Niners to come all the way back.  Rookie kicker Alex Henery missed two key field goal attempts in this game, but there is plenty of blame to go around.  Michael Vick completed 30 of 46 passes for 416 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 8 times for 75 yards (9.4 ypc) as he had an amazing game.  Lesean McCoy didn’t have much of a game today as he rushed for 18 yards on 9 carries (2.0 ypc).  He also caught 6 passes for 34 yards (5.7 avg) with 1 TD grab.  WR Desean Jackson led the way for the Eagles in the passing game as he caught 6 passes for 171 yards (28.5 avg) today.  WR Jeremy Maclin (7 rec, 74 yards), WR Jason Avant (6 rec, 69 yards) and TE Clay Harbor (3 rec, 55 yards, TD) also had decent games for the Eagles today.  The Eagles finished up with 108 yards rushing on 20 carries (5.4 ypc) and they also completed 30 of 46 passes (65.2%) for 405 yards as they had possession of the ball for 31:08.

The Eagles were terrible against the running game today and their “vaunted secondary” was getting torched again.  LB Jamar Chaney (8 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss) and safety Jarrad Page (7 tackles) led the way for the Eagles’ D today.  DE Jason Babin had a big game for the Eagles today with 3 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed and 2 QB hits.  DT Cullen Jenkins pitched in with a fumble recovery in this game.  The Niners finished up with 164 yards rushing on 25 carries (6.6 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 33 passes (63.6%) for 278 yards.  The Eagles are now a very, very disappointing 1-3 on the year after this painful loss.

The defense got pushed around in this game, especially the supposedly vaunted secondary as Eli Manning threw 4 TD passes yesterday.  DE Trent Cole led the way for the Eagles in this game with 5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  CB Asante Samuel (4 tackles), LB Jamar Chaney (4 tackles) and DE Jason Babin (3 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit) also pitched in.  The Giants finished up with 102 yards rushing on 25 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 23 passes (69.6%) for 232 yards.  The Eagles are now a very disappointing 1-2 on the year.

The defense had issues last night, especially in the 4th quarter when the Falcons scored 14 unanswered points to prevail at the end of the game!  LB Jamar Chaney (9 tackles), safety Jarrad Page (9 tackles) and LB Casey Matthews (7 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss) led the way for the Eagles’ D last night.  DE Trent Cole (6 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 1 pass defensed and 2 QB hits) and DT Cullen Jenkins (4 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits) both played outstanding games for the Eagles last night.  CBs Asante Samuel and Nnamdi Asogmugha pitched in with 1 interception apiece.  The Falcons finished up with 138 yards rushing on 29 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 28 passes for 180 yards.  The Eagles are now 1-1 on the year.

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Game Reports,General by admin on Monday 12 September 2011 at 1:37 am

The Eagles played well offensively to cover up for the D which gave up quite a few yards in this game.  Michael Vick was so-so throwing the ball as he only completed 14 of 32 passes for 187 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  But, he also carried the ball 10 times for 98 yards (9.8 ypc) as he ran really well in this game.  Lesean McCoy was also incredible for the Eagles in this game as he carried the ball 15 times for 122 yards (8.1 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 15 yards (7.5 avg) with 1 TD grab in this game.  WRs Desean Jackson (6 rec, 102 yards, TD) and Jason Avant (3 rec, 40 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Eagles.  The Eagles finished up with 237 yards rushing on 31 carries (7.6 ypc) and they also completed 14 of 32 passes (43.8%) for 167 yards as they had possession of the ball for 30:14.

Defensively, the Eagles played just like advertised in this game.  They played well against the passing game but not so good against the run.  They are kind of lucky that Steven Jackson got hurt and had to leave this game really early.  Safety Jarrad Page (6 tackles), LB Jamar Chaney (6 tackles) and DE Jason Babin (4 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 4 QB hits) led the way for the Eagles’ D in this game.  DE Juqua Parker recovered a fumble that he returned 56 yards for a TD in this game.  DEs Darryl Tapp, DE Trent Cole and DT Cullen Jenkins pitched in with 1 sack apiece.  The Rams finished up with 154 yards rushing on 26 carries (5.9 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 36 passes (52.8%) for 181 yards.  The Eagles start the 2011 season 1-0.
