Philadelphia Eagles @ Houston Texans. 11/2. Noon. FOX. **Official Battle Red Thread**

[RTP2110]

4 o-line penalties in a home game. Inexcusable

 

[TheMatrix31]

Good God. Does that give us a fresh first?

 

[Austrian]

Thanks Demeco. Whew. Nuk showed hustle there

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Why would you throw that? Take the sack. Thankfully DeMeco fumbled.

Or maybe Harvard man knew that was going to open.

And get well Meco.

 

[speedfreek]

Am I watching keystone cops or what?

 

[JB]

lucky break after fitz pulls a Fitz

 

[JCTexan]

HOPKINS!!!! Saves the day with the recovery.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Lol demeco

Edit: hope he's not hurt bad

 

[ObsiWan]

Hopkins saves Fitz's bacon

again

Can't say he didn't dive for the fumble this time

 

[stonewhite]

Lol 1st down

 

[gtexan02]

Wow. Our Ol is putting on a blooper real display here. Thank god
For Nuk

 

[Hervoyel]

Derrick Newton gots to go. That **** never stops. He's a penalty train

 

[Austrian]

Good God. Does that give us a fresh first?

Yep

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

mORE CLASSIC fITZ

 

[Mr. Texan]

our field claims another victim

 

[False Start]

That was just dumb. Luckily Demeco fumbled.

 

[Hervoyel]

How can OB justify keeping him out there? How?

 

[gtexan02]

Terrible decision by fitz but how do you let that many blitzers come
Unchecked. What is the line even doing?

 

[ObsiWan]

Good God. Does that give us a fresh first?

It should. Change of possession

 

[ATXtexanfan]

That's a first down right?

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Just turned the game back on and see futz going dumb.

 

[OzzO]

Seth Payne ‏@PayneNFL
Was that Fitzpatrick or Lin?

 

[TheMatrix31]

Damn, DeMeco carted off

 

[humblegeo]

Offense only 7 points in 3 quarters

 

[Naiirb]

Paul Dunn is our O-line coach who was fired from the freaking Falcons who had offensive line problems all over the place last year

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Terrible decision by fitz but how do you let that many blitzers come
Unchecked. What is the line even doing?

Only 5 guys on the line. Extra blitzes are one other guys including the qb.

 

[atomictelephone]

Seriously, how can any sane person think AJ is as good as Hopkins?

Dude we get it, you like Hopkins, we all do, he's a good player and is the future of the Texans and once we get a QB who is even marginally better than Fitz he will be a star. Who cares if some people still prefer AJ, it's so marginal. Get over the inferiority complex.

 

[Dishman]

We're a team in transition. This is something that was known going into this season.

You're right. Still, a lot is wrong with this team at this point in the transition.

 

[OzzO]

PDS ‏@PatDStat
#Texans fans giving Meco a standing O. Cush even made it out there. Tough.

 

[Hervoyel]

Someone needs to take on for the team and go all Jeff Gillooly/Tonya Harding on Fitz. The only way OB will "quit him" is if he's simply not available.

 

[Mr. Texan]

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Yeah Hopkins. Fantasy points!

 

[gtexan02]

Nice throw by fitz there.

 

[JCTexan]

HOPKINS is beasting today.

 

[False Start]

Damn, hate to see Demeco go out like that.

Nuk!!!

 

[ObsiWan]

Fitting. Hop should get this six since he saved our possession

 

[speedfreek]

God, please, no more missed tackles or Fat Randy choked field goals.

I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE TO MR. BUTT FUMBLE..

 

[False Start]

As messed up as that sounds, I'm all for it.

Demeco Ryans has right ankle injury - OUT. He was carted off the field moments ago. #eagles

Because I was basically called football retarded by a mod when I said this weeks ago. Thanks.

 

[legacy_gt]

fat randy would have tied this

 

[2012Champs]

This might come across as crazy but how good is Hopkins?


Is he currently better than Dre? Or is his success in part due to Dre?

 

[False Start]

That fking figures.

 

[TheMatrix31]

What is this ticky tack hands to the face BULLSHIT?

 

[legacy_gt]

fat randy would have tied this

these g damn screens

 

[silvrhand]

we are flat worn out on defense..

 

[speedfreek]

These defense blows. It's JJ and 11 JAGs..

Either that, or RAC is hype.

These guys just don't wrap up and tackle.

 

[gtexan02]

Here is the top 3 reasons we are losing:
1) OL
2) tackling
3) special teams

 

[False Start]

If Kelce were D Brown, those blocks would be penalties.

 

[TheMatrix31]

How the **** is "hands to the face" a "point of emphasis" but holding on EVERY SINGLE DAMN PLAY isnt?
