**Minnesota at Philadelphia** (-2.5) (50) Game 2 of the Monday Night Doubleheader!!! 8:30 Kickoff (1 Viewer)

[modogg]

lol, that is some good defense holding one of Jefferson's hands. you can't beat that

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

Grabby there.

yea, was wondering if slay got away with one. not a terrible no call.

 

[need2know]

Prime time cousins!

 

[DJackson10]

Holy **** did I just see blitzing LB's on that 3rd down play? Haven't seen that by Eagles for a very long time. TJ Edwards if he was a bit faster gets a sack there.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Vikings and Cousins with a three and out to start. Aberration for this year or a continuing a trend from last year?

I mean he held his hand when the ball was coming in because he had terrible positioning. I’m pretty sure that’s a penalty but I’m not gonna cry about it.

 

[Gachi]

Ok I love what I'm seeing from Hurts.

He clearly put in the work this offseason. No "dear in headlights" looks anymore.

He actually missed Devante on the Second play and tried running out of the pocket right away. I forget who it was maybe Goedert he hit who was wide open. It was still a successful play but even Aikman was wondering why he didn't throw it to Smith there. Other then that play I didn't see anything terrible or bad bad.

The sack was on him as well. Typical young QB mistake.

 

[unckeyherb]

Gannon ball!!!

 

[DJackson10]

Prime time cousins!

Which one gives tonight?

@Tim_McManus

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is traditionally bad on Monday Night Football (2-9) but has had success against the Eagles over his career with a 6-3 record, including 2-0 as a Viking. He has a 75.5 career Total QBR against Eagles, his highest vs. any team he’s faced 3 or more times.

Something to watch: Jonathan Gannon has been zone-heavy since become DC -- in it 63% of the time, 7th most since start of last season. Cousins posted the league’s highest QBR (96) against zone coverage while averaging over 11 yards on 17 attempts Week 1. --

yeh for sure Eagles got away with one. but i am guessing if you really look, the refs could probably throw flag on 50% of passes to Jefferson.

He's a 3rd year QB he needs to learn from hat fast

Its like holding you could call it on almost every play. There's also a ton of OPI constantly but the league ain't going to call that with all the gambling sponsors they have.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

what the hell is that call against LD?

 

[unckeyherb]

Wtf with these ineligible receiver flags

he is starting 5 for 5 (should be 7 for 7 if not for flags) for 65 yards and a TD. if that isn't good enough, i don't know what ever will be

 

[mr roboto]

Hurts is impressive.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Nice route by Watkins

 

[DJackson10]

If he threw that to Watkins sooner he has a 1st. Timing issue there still

 

[jasvic]

Wtf with these ineligible receiver flags

They refuse to replay it so we'll never know...

 

[modogg]

Watson has to be one of the under-rated WR3s in the league. guy can do a few things with his speed and is getting better and better with route running

 

[mr roboto]

They are targeting this offensive scheme it seems.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

smh refs

 

[DJackson10]

Thats a terrible call!!!! I guess its a make up for the non Slay call?

 

[TheAristocrat]

Refs want to be in the spotlight on Monday night too.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

That is a b.s. call

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Troy Aikman voices his displeasure with the Refs

 

[Amused to Death]

And penalties kill the drive. Horrible call on Smith.

 

[Army Eye]

Wow getting a penalty for going out of your way to avoid the pick, and, costs them the possession

 

[modogg]

lol, that was a pretty horrible call on Smith there. he avoided the contact on purpose and still gets called for illegal block.

 

[need2know]

Bull **** penalties

 

[unckeyherb]

********

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Philly fans make sure Reagor knows how welcome he is back in town.

 

[modogg]

i really don't think the fans need to boo Raegor. i mean really, the guy has certainly taken enough heat the past 2 years, do we really need to still boo him?

Besides 2 throws its literally dink and dunk. Like I said before Vikings D should play up more and dare them to beat them deep. Sirinnia's play calling is really good scheming guys open which helps.

 

[jasvic]

According to Twitter he was doing the raise arms make it louder motion.

From the fanbase that tossed snowballs at Santa and batteries at refs, why is this a surprise?

Most of these fans still listen to the blowhards on Sports talk radio probably would Boo McNabb still if he played and was Minny QB right now.

 

[Amused to Death]

Sweet! D came to play.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Two three and outs. Good stuff.

like we haven't heard that before. Get some new material

 

[need2know]

Defense looks good

 

[mr roboto]

This crew is terrible.

 

[rockaction]

Have these refs ever reffed a special teams situation before?

 

[Amused to Death]

Refs aren't showing well early on.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

love aikman tonight "what's going on down there, they have more screen time than the players"

 

[rockaction]

This crew is terrible.

They're bad.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Did anyone ever explain why we have overlapping MNF games?

Because it’s stupid and I hate it.

 

[The Frankman]

I'll say this, the physicality being allowed in the secondary should benefit both teams somewhat. The thing is, can you really be physical with a guy like A.J. Brown?

 

[TheAristocrat]

Did anyone ever explain why we have overlapping MNF games?

Because it’s stupid and I hate it.

Completely agree. Two MNF games, sweet! Overlapping, not so much.

 

[need2know]

So vikes can run people out during the xp and run the play clock out on a punt and no penalty. Gotcha
