Big night from Hock.......

[GobbleDog 816]

2020 - Kirk Cousins was the most hit Qb.

2021 - he was 3rd.

2022- he was again 1st

Week 1 2023 - tied for first with 7 hits. 

Good lord Vikings. Let's see what happens tonight against one of the better defenses. If history is any indication.... poor Kirk. 

 

[Mike FF Today 608]

D’Andre Swift on the field for the entire Eagles first drive. 1 carry, 1 yard.

[Mike FF Today 608]

3 turnovers in the first quarter. 

[rallo 132]

Man, the Eagles offense looks lost. Serves me right for drafting Hurts.

Yikes.   maybe I better get up there and turn the TV on.

[EternalShinyAndChrome 2,528]

Are the Vikings an actual NFL football team?  Now they're just running into each other. 

[Showboat 145]

There has got to be a high place in heaven for Vikings fans.

[nobody 2,045]

Primetime Kirk on Amazon Prime Video!

[Ray_T 591]

vikings looked pretty solid on that drive.

they did some good things there in the pass game.  Hock looks really good.

[nobody 2,045]

Wait a second.  Didn't Philly sign Rashad Penny?

[Mike FF Today 608]

Boston Scott working as the No.2 RB behind Swift. No sign of Penny yet.

[nobody 2,045]

inside the 1 yard line.

Push that Tush! Push that Tush!

[nobody 2,045]

It's amazing to me that there's only two teams doing that play.

[Ray_T 591]

wow, vikings getting Gashed on the ground.

 

[GobbleDog 816]

Vikings call timeout before the first tush push... "maybe if we think about it for a minute, we can stop the unstoppable!"  Nope.

[nobody 2,045]

Lot of immaculate grid combos here, eh.

I'd guess the most common would be Cris Carter.

But I suppose you could go with Sam Bradford.

And I remember picking up current Viking LB Jordan Hicks in an IDP league his rookie year with the Eagles.

[nobody 2,045]

Didn't McNabb have a cup of coffee with the Vikings as well?

[nobody 2,045]

Hot take: Ty Chandler should be in for the Vikes in hurry-up mode.

[nobody 2,045]

Oooh, JJ may have fumbled that through the endzone.

[Showboat 145]

Thought the Eagles were supposed to have this great defense - guess not.

iggles have some starters on D out of the lineup.  they were talking about it a few minutes ago on the broadcast.

[Ray_T 591]

wow 61 yard FG to end the half.

[polecatt 403]

Yes!

I picked up Jake Elliott this afternoon!

That FG before half is 10 pts!

[nobody 2,045]

Suboptimal ball security by the Eagles.

Time for another tush push.

[nobody 2,045]

I wonder if the defense turns it into a scrum, if they'd have a chance.  What I mean is maybe the second level can push the defensive linemen such that the offensive line has a shot of getting pushed back.

fixed that for ya

[EternalShinyAndChrome 2,528]

Is Hurts going to call his number every single time they get close to the goal line? You know, back in the days we used to call these guys ball hogs.

The running backs are absolutely running over the Vikings but as soon as they get close to the goal line he wants to take it in himself. 

What a d0uche.

I assume you have a philly WR or RB you want to get a TD from.

sorry pal.   the team plays to win games.  they dont care about your fantasy team

[nobody 2,045]

Vikings getting their tushes pushed all over the field.

Indeed.  It's been a long week.

[Ray_T 591]

Just now, nobody said:

at times ... yeah.

the LT really wasnt much more than a turnstile on that play where the fumble happened.

pretty bad

My man Ty Chandler didn't do them any favors either.  He did enough, but he got pushed back into Kirk's lap which didn't give him room to step up.

[polecatt 403]

Okay, now throw to Justin Jefferson every play...

I do not. I feel bad for the running back to get them all the way down the field and then glory Hog wants to take it in himself. That is all.

Seems to me the running backs are doing just fine so there's no need for him to call his number every single time they get to the goal line.

 

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Felt good about sitting Kirk until that Addison bomb.

this was a game I figured the vikings might lose.   That being the case, the gamescript would be favourable for Cousins late in the game (as it is now)

[ZeroTolerance 582]

I gave the Philly D way too much credit.

I didn’t know that Hurts was calling the plays for the Philly offense. Good for him!
