Another drop that went right to the hands.

Cousin's fault. He hit the receiver in the numbers. 😉

Now, Cousins has F'D up hard tonight, no doubt.

The first INT was on JJ. The second one was on Kirk.

How many routes has the PHI D cut tonight? That's also very bad, and I've only been watching since late 3rd Q.

Kirks got a great arm, an accurate passer, but when things break down, when he needs to create on his own, non scripted, he can’t handle the mental aspect of it. So frustrating…BUT, the loss tonight is a total team breakdown. On to the next game…Detroit. I’m sure PA will come up with a litany of excuses tomorrow thou, unless he ducks out & takes the day off, claims he’s traveling & throws Nordo to the wolves LOL

@bigbeer oh you mean they took advantage of all our DBs playing 5 yards off the man?

And how many were we rushing all half?

Football guy.

Thanks for chiming in to a mostly tongue in cheek comment not directed at anyone but the shitty team, Chubbs.

Oh now you were joking, got it smart guy.

Hurts has taken a big step forward and ideally we get pressure with 4 and if not at least contain him. Neither of those things happened. Defense has actually played well in the second half and the offense has totally crapped their pants…kinda like most of your posts.

To be fair special teams has been excellent.

Slay has been staring down Cousins all day and getting jumps on every pass thrown his way.

If the Eagles defense could catch the ball, they would have 10 INTs tonight.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

Wow Cousins totally falling apart in the second half and getting no help from his receivers. He seemed determined to throw a pic after the turnover.

Slay has been baiting Cousins and Kirk is taking it. Slay should have at least 4 picks.

In his defense he played decently in the first half but got no help from his receivers. Whole offense fell apart in the second half.

Kirk is the guy who would have a Michelob Ultra, and declare "Dude, I'm SO wasted!" And he would be telling the truth.

It is time for Kirk to put up some meaningless yards in garbage time.

Defense gets steamrolled in the first half then shuts out Philly in the second but of course the offense craps their pants and also gets shut out.

I think the Eagles were waiting for the Vikings to threaten before they tried very hard in the second half. They did a decent number of times, but the offense had a surprising number of rounds in that gun pointed at their feet.

This is why the Cousins haters are sometimes right, he’s already having a bad game and when he does it’s usually a loss.

The coverages they’re running don’t work if they’re not getting pressure on the QB and they’re not.

I figure he threw it where he was supposed to, but it was supposed to be a second or two later.

This team sucks.

Not sure what unit is more uninspiring right now the O or D?

D gets zero pass rush play after play. And receivers catch balls in a 3-5  yard open bubbles on just about every completion.

Is Cine still banged up? Because Metellus has been terrible today but still plays basically every play.

Either Cook's shoulder or collarbone looks to be injured.

The new head coach really makes some questionable game decisions. Two 56 yard attempts when you have a weak D? I could maybe understand that IF this team had a stellar defense (even then I think it would be dumb) but giving a short field to the other team when the Vikes D is weak is just not smart football. Punt the ball and make them drive the field. Don’t make easy for them.

I don’t want to judge too quickly but I’m not very impressed with the decisions I’ve seen so far from the new leader.

He didn’t get hit until after he threw it and Osbourne was uncovered, no one within 10 yards of him.

We are very deep at running back but Cook’s speed will be missed. Cook seemed to be running OOB and avoiding contact a lot, I’m wondering if it’s the same shoulder as last year and it’s never gonna be 100%.

If the offense and Cousins keeps looking like this, yes. Down by 10 with a quarter left is very winnable but not if you can’t complete passes.

The fans aren’t booing the decision to punt on 4th and 3 from your own 33, they’re booing the offense.

50+ yard FG tries are super common in the NFL and todays kickers can make them. If they can’t you need to get a new kicker.

Low 50s are common. 55+? Less so. and the reality is it isn’t a high percentage play.

I understand taking risks later in the game but I think there should be some perspective on the odds of making it in context of the point of the game you are at. 

Not to mention, the first attempt shouldn’t have inspired confidence that a second attempt at that range should be taken (unless the game is on the line).

I don’t know what games you’re watching but I see multiple mid-50’s tries in every game I’ve seen.
