Lately, Peters has been more likely to leave a game than finish it. “It’s just been good, Jim Bob and I have a good relationship, he’s a smart guy, he communicates well with the guys on our offense, he’s young in his job but he’s not afraid he’s aggressive and that’s fun, ” Stafford said. “I think all the way across the board, the guys played well”.

“I think the family’s always excited about victories, and this one is no different than the others that we’ve had”, Caldwell said. They have not lost a fumble since the overtime win over the Bears on October 18.
By the end, it got so bad that Detroit fans, who haven’t had much to cheer for, either, this season, began the wave – while they had the ball. Panther WR Jerricho Cotchery had five catches for a game-high 73 yards, and four of them converted third downs.
The Eagles had their moment when Brent Celek knotted the score by reaching the ball over the goal line while draped with linebacker Stephen Tulloch on a two-yard pass from Sanchez.
Stafford stayed in for the Lions’ final series, after the Eagles scored their final touchdown with 2:56 to play, making the score 45-14.
In the third quarter the 6-5 Megatron beat Rowe on a four-yard scoring grab, Stafford throwing a high fade for a 31-7 lead. It’s a narrative built around Kelly’s uniqueness in terms of tempo and play design, schematic advances that were already being copied around the National Football League by teams such as the Patriots and Washington before Kelly even left Oregon. “I play hurt all the time, but right now, I just got bad luck as far as the injuries”. “It’s Thanksgiving Day and you get embarrassed like that”.
Kelly’s belief in modern training and preparation techniques is interesting and may hold some benefit, but when this team has played on Sundays (or Thursday), the Eagles have been more than a step behind most weeks and now appear to be hopelessly out of the playoff race.
This loss followed their previous Week 11 45-17 loss where the Eagles got dominated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft a year ago. Their running game stalled once again.
He completed 19 of 27 passes for 199 yards and two TDs. Since then, the former Nebraska standout has found himself largely buried on the depth chart behind Joique Bell and Theo Riddick in the Lions’ backfield for much of the season. Rapper Big Sean, the halftime entertainment, had better tempo than quarterback Mark Sanchez and the Eagles, who managed 227 yards in losing their third straight game.
That means Lane Johnson swings from right to left tackle and Dennis Kelly takes over for Johnson at right tackle. The Eagles allowed six sacks after Peters departed.

He brought in DeMarco Murray to carry the Eagles’ ground game in the offseason, running the 2014 rushing champ primarily out of the shotgun. It feels like it will be the end after the last two lack luster performances. He also has 134 receiving yards and 749 yards in kickoff returns. Agholor drew a 15-yard penalty in the fourth quarter when he took off his helmet and argued with Detroit cornerback Crezdon Butler.
