Welcome to the Eagles at Patriots live chat. Share your thoughts on tonight’s game by commenting in the comments section.
1ST QTR
- Jacoby Brissett appears to be getting the start for the Patriots. see how long he plays.
- Lowe, Sow, Andrews, Onwenu and Chuks upfront to start.
- Starting with the perimeter screen early. In our game plan, I talked about using perimeter screens in this game.
- Three and out. Not a good start.
- Let’s see what the defense can do here. Favorable field position to work with.
- Eagles aren’t playing starters. Kenny Pickett gets the start. Preseason. Got to love it.
- Pats get the three and out on defense. Good start for the defense.
- Brissett back out for a second series.
- The boot leg game is going to be good to this team this year.
- Duo and split zone are going to be bread and butter running plays for the Patriots.
- Philly is playing some starters on defense.
- The commitment to the ground game is impressive by AVP.
- And Brissett force sand up a fleas ass and gets picked by Avante Maddox. 47 yard return. An absolute killer decision.
- Pickett with an RPO. It is something he does well.
- Philadelphia threw the ball well in joint practices and they have continued to throw with some success here but the drive stalled.
JAKE ELLIOTT 42 YARD FIELD: EAGLES 3 PATRIOTS 0 3;04 LEFT IN THE FIRST.
- Offensive line cannot hold up and the Patriots are forced to punt.
-
Offense needs to stay out of long downs. Simply don’t have the playmakers to make chunk plays consistently.
-
Patriots bring six, Uche gets the sack. There is another sign that they will be aggressive this season.
END OF 1ST QTR: EAGLES 3 PATRIOTS 0
- Drake and Bake time! Here we gooooooo…..!!!!!!
-
Maye playing with the starting offensive line minus Andrews.
-
Lowe and behold, we have a false start.
-
Nice ball there on the dig route there by Maye.
-
AVP comes back with the boot and Maye hits Wilcox and gets the 15 on RTP.
-
I like going empty and giving the kid a chance to take the easy out cut.
-
Insert lead is the bane of my existence.
-
Nice drive getting the first but the drive stalls. Still, I will take what we saw out of Maye.
SLYE 51 YD FIELD GOAL: EAGLES 3 PATRIOTS 3 with 11:01 left in the first half.
- Good first drive for Drake. AVP did a good job of changing his launch angle by moving the pocket and throwing the ball out of 3 and 5 step. I like the fact that they went empty too. Give the kid a chance to read the quick or hot and throw it.
10. Keion White with a 12 yard sack. Mr. Red Sleeves who???
- Not quite sure why the Eagles went for it there but it worked out for the Patriots.
-
Ja’Lynn doing the “Polka” there. Nice play. Followed up by a big Harris run.
-
Nice call there by AVP. Clear with the trips and brought Hasty over on an H-Screen.
-
Drake scores his first NFL rushing touchdown on a zone read to the Y/U side. Good call AVP.
-
Nice call by AVP. Set up well by running weak IZ and duo. Shift the back to the Y/U side, read it and pulled it. Love that they have the kid the green light. 10-3 Pats
PATRIOTS 10 EAGLES 3: 4yard touchdown run by Maye.
HALFTIME: PATRIOTS 10 EAGLES 3: Slow start but Drake gave them life leading two good drives. He should play into the third. Let the kid get into a rhythm and get comfortable.
3RD QTR
1.Tush push my…..never mind. Pats take over on downs at their 37. Drake back out there.
- Great ball by Maye there on third down. It is a tough catch but Baker has to make that catch.
-
Uche still in this game. Good to get the extra reps. Also good for Mayo to make his point. Fight at practice and there are consequences.
-
Patriots take over on downs and Drake is back out there.
-
Nolan Smith comes on the blitz and buries Maye. Sacked for the first time and he felt it.
-
Former Patriots great Will Grier in the game now. Bet you forgot he was on the Patriots.
-
Joe Milton warming up. It appears that we will not see Bailey Zappe tonight.
END OF 3RD: Patriots 10 Eagles 3
