Three up, three down following Bills’ loss to Eagles
While his new teammates congratulated his old teammates on their victory, McCoy sprinted off alone to a chorus of boos. They would need to win out and get major help over the last three weeks of the season in order to have a chance. Which was a shame.
Maybe Chip Kelly, the Birds’ head coach, didn’t get rid of all his good players, after all. “Just the small things of just driving to the stadium, not being the home team”.
“I have to know that it’s going to get down to the 2-minute warning”, Bradford said.
With that directive in mind, the Eagles won their second consecutive game and improved to 6-7. Welcome to the world of parity as the 5-7 Philadelphia Eagles prepare to take on the 6-6 Buffalo Bills.
“We wouldn’t have traded for him if we thought he was going to be here for a year”, Kelly said.
For the Patriots, though, it haven’t been the volume of the calls, the the timing (and the perceived target of Rob Gronkowski on offensive pass interference calls).
“I don’t want to press”, McCoy said. The Eagles come into today’s game as one of the worst against opposing quarterbacks, allowing 28 touchdowns passes and three rushing TDs to QBs.
Agholor’s 53-yard score was set up by yet another positive play for the Eagles’ special teams. In the end, the Bills lost to McCoy’s former team, 23-20. Kelly said money was the reason he made the move. The Bills were forced to punt once before the two-minute warning but a pair of DeMarco Murray runs and a 15-yard Sam Bradford sack gave the Bills one last crack at a comeback.
Caleb Sturgis kicked a 30-yard field goal with 3:26 left, Ed Reynolds intercepted Tyrod Taylor’s pass in the final minutes and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 23-20 on Sunday.
Cox is definitely coming into his own and after the game, the humble giant agreed that he’s playing the best football of his career. The Buffalo Bills running back finished the game with 109 total yards. Later in the game, Thigpen took a false-start penalty when he got a rare offensive snap. Murray carried the ball 11 times vs. the Bills for 34 yards while Ryan Mathews carried the ball 13 times for 38 yards and Darren Sproles had seven attempts for 41 yards. Luckily, the ensuing drive by Buffalo included one of the Bills’ ubiquitous flags for holding and the Bills had to punt. Leodis McKelvin leaped and snatched the ball away from Brent Celek at the 5. We were focused. We knew we had to stop McCoy. “We have ourselves to blame on this one”.
Taylor tried it again in the fourth quarter, the Bills facing a 3rd-and-8 from the 33.
Then Mike Gillislee thundered 19 yards up the middle for a touchdown, knotting the game at 20 late in the frame. He has favored the deep ball much more this game.it just seems the more we see of him, the more he proves people wrong…a great half indeed.
“We had 15 penalties”.
