Fucking DirecTV. Redskins/Eagles was supposed to be the local early game, was listed in the guide as such after midnight last night so I switched the recording from Sunday Ticket to the local. I get home and it's Bills/Giants.

It annoys the crap out of me that I have to play that game with the Sunday Ticket. Instead of being able to watch local games on the Sunday Ticket channels I always have to switch to the local channel or else it's blacked out. So, I didn't get to see the game.

Apparently, Bradford and the Eagles offense struggled in the first half but at the end of the day, Bradford should have had a 4TD/0INT day and the win but the Eagles keep screwing up. TD to Ertz taken away because Agholor doesn't know how to line up and then the kicker misses the FG. That's the difference in the game.

Bradford was bad in the 1st half and God like in the 2nd. Ertz is a fantastic player, catches anything thrown in his direction.

I hope I remember to catch the replay but I'm not sure when they are on. Tuesday/Wednesday I think.

I'm curious to see how he looked because 15/28 isn't good but I wonder if the drops are continuing for the Eagles? Murray's got to get it going or Matthews should get a chance to start. Murray hasn't acclimated to this type of offense at all.

The next two weeks should be relatively good matchups for the Eagles offense and then Carolina before the bye.

Just watched teh highlights. Sam's body language on some of those plays (post play) was aweful.

I wonder how much body language really means? I hear so many people comment on Bradford's psyche and it makes me think they are projecting their own opinions onto what they're seeing from Bradford.

For example, the most I ever see out of Bradford is contained frustration. I think he gets pissed but swallows it and just doesn't show much of anything. Many consider that a lack of emotion but I think he's trying to be emotionless by design. Like he doesn't want to show up his players by gesticulating over their mistakes.

I don't really have an answer here. But I don't see the same with Foles.

It's not like I have anything scientific to add, but I do like the vibe Foles gives off over that of Sam's.

We all see it our own way but without getting scientific what would you rather see out of Bradford? What does Foles do differently?

On the highlights you posted for example, Bradford was frustrated in the first half when things were going wrong but was running down to high five his teammates after scores. Seems pretty par for the course for any QB to me.

i don't see the head shaking or limp body after "bad" plays from Foles. I don't see bad results getting to Foles at all. I see quiet confidence.

IMO, Foles is a gamer and a big guy with command of his streaky offense.
Bradford has a great arm and once he gets in sync with everyone there, they will put up some points.
