Week 4: Eagles at Bears, 7:15 central on NBC

[Mark_R]

Sure seemed like a missed holding call there...

[Cynosure]

I love Brandon Lloyd.

[Magnetic Curses]

he has to get rid of it sooner than that.

It's hard for a QB to throw that many passes away. He should have gotten rid of it, but QBs don't like doing that on 3rd downs.

 

i thought that he just waited too long to hit his man. you have to have some faith in your receivers to get open sometimes. even these ones.

The only one open was Hester, but that wasn't until Orton was starting to release the ball. The pass would have needed some touch, too.

 

Other than that, nobody was open.

 

that's what i mean, though. you can't always wait for them to get open, you have to anticipate.

[Mark_R]

wtf?

[splintersag]

WTF is going on?

Boy that was weird.

Had Orton gotten rid of it any sooner, it would have been far too risky. He was still in the middle of the field at that point. Plus, there were three Eagles defenders in the area.

Too bad that didn't hit Lloyd in stride... that might be a TD if it does (and no Madden, that wasn't perfect). But it was good enough.

If Orton hit Lloyd in stride, I think Lloyd would have been knocked out of the game. It turned out to be better that the throw was to the outside.

 

Of course, he may have been knocked out anyways.

[Jon]

My goodness Hester is frustrating.

 

And it's sad that they need him out there. He's a long ways away from being a receiver.

it was a safe pattern and he could have put it to the inside, where only he his receiver could have gotten it.

[Jon]

Garza, can you hold any blocks?

[Cynosure]

Generous spot, nice!

[Careless]

overly generous spot.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Garza is playing like crap

[Magnetic Curses]

that last man always seems to trip up forte, it's a microcosm of our season.

[Hall7810]

Great spot

[Jon]

I liked the play call there, though Olsen hasn't shown much of an ability to pick of yards after the catch this season.

[Magnetic Curses]

garza's getting used. metcalf has to be able to do better.

[Careless]

Why is my Uverse box randomly trying to feed my little tv 1080 picture once every few minutes this game? Very strange

[Jon]

How did Forte do so well against the Colts with this line?

[Jon]

Wow. What a throw by Orton!

[splintersag]

HESTER!!!
