Well, we've seen what happens if we just do a normal pass rush and let Foles throw downfield. It's not working too well. Harrison Smith cannot cover Ertz, Rhodes is banged up, Waynes has been in and out. Our secondary is looking pretty vulnerable.

You got any better ideas?

They are getting terribly outcoached and it is embarrassing. If I were Zimmer I'd yell at the coaches as much as the players.[/quote]

Yes, and he'd better get more resourceful himself too. He and his staff have been out-coached in the last 4 quarters of football.

The whole team just needs to get their act together and put their best football on the field. We know they can play better than this.

With a quick TD, we are back in the hunt. :ripple:
Don't need 7 but stopping them is most important, at least hold them to a FG.

is Foles a legit QB?
maybe Vikings can trade for Foles

NO QB CAN FUNCTION IF OL DOESNT HOLD

Maybe we can get Foles as our QB next year. He certainly is playing much better then case.

Yeah, who in the heck expects a TE to come across the field to block a DE?

Case doesn't play defense, and he needs to have his blind side protected. He got us to this game. Have a little faith in the guy.
You can’t blame Case too much but we all pretty much know that he isn’t the type of QB to stage a comeback. This game is pretty much over imo. I also like what Philly’s coaches are doing. They’re keeping the pressure on but if it was us we’d berunning the ball on first and second down for two yards a pop.

Wow, Eagles are playing so safe and the Vikings can't even slow them down much less stop it.
