Troyetsky: Panthers, Lions to Win on Thanksgiving
“Who will quit when times are tough?” Running back Joique Bell added a rushing touchdown.
For additional team radio station affiliates: Lions and Eagles.
In an epic 45-14 beatdown in Detroit, Kelly’s team was embarrassed before a national audience, falling behind the Lions in the second quarter and never putting up much of a fight after that.
The second straight week the Eagles have given up 40 or more points, they now sit with a record of 4-7. They’ve lost three straight games.
And the worst might not be over. “… It’s really fun to play on Thanksgiving, it’s my seventh one”.
Kelly addressed the media after the loss, saying there’s no excuses for it. “Didn’t coach well today”. We only had two sacks today one was late in the game, ” Stafford said. So it’s very disappointing. From the Dallas Cowboy’s showdown with the undefeated Carolina Panthers to the highly anticipated face-off between division rivals in Green Bay, you won’t want to miss a minute of the action. They are now trying to get their fourth win this season by beating the Eagles.
“I love that he’s so aggressive”, Stafford said. “We got a whooping, and we have to move on”.
Where do the Eagles even start?
Bradford is dealing with a shoulder injury and a concussion and he could be out, leaving Mark Sanchez to start for a second straight week.
It’s an NFC clash on Thanksgiving Day as the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles meet at the Ford Field for Thursday Night Football in the National Football League. Over the last three weeks, the Eagles have managed to lose to a franchise that fired its coach in midseason and another, the Lions, that fired its GM, team president, offensive coordinator and two line coaches a month ago. The Buccaneers did the same thing the week before, with a drive that lasted 9:47 to open the second half. He victimized overmatched rookie Eric Rowe twice while he was in man coverage, and Malcolm Jenkins once to make it 38-7 with 5:05 left in the third quarter.
Detroit defensive end Ziggy Ansah recorded a career-high 3 1/2 sacks and recovered a fumble. He also didn’t throw an interception and posted a 137.8 passer rating. “When we start the year out strong and all of a sudden we’re just slacking”. “I don’t think the German Luftwaffe could have stopped us that day”.
“At the end of the first quarter, I realized we hadn’t gotten 81 the ball yet, so we dialed up some plays for him”, Stafford said. The passing game has been an absolute nightmare this year for the Eagles and things don’t look like they will get any better this week.
Though there has been no official announcement from the Eagles, cornerback Nolan Carroll is headed for the season-ending injured reserve list after breaking his right ankle. The total has gone UNDER in seven of the Eagles’ last 10 games. Kelly said yes (see more from Kelly here).
