Seahawks out-Eagle the Eagles, defeat fellow birds on the road, recapped on Twitter

This game was supposed to be exciting. A nail biter. It’s actually quite possible that this game was less close than the score would indicate. The Seahawks still probably haven’t played a perfect game this season, or even as perfect as one can expect from imperfect people. Instead, the Seahawks did to the Eagles what the Eagles have become successful at — they ran a ton of plays on offense, forced turnovers, and kept the opponent’s defense tired.

lose coin toss, defer. Seattle will receive the opening kickoff.

Glad NFL rules say we get commercials over the last 30 seconds of Indy/Cleveland game.

1^st Quarter

Kickoff! takes the opening kick. Seahawks to start at their 23.

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks)

 

First penalty for the Seahawks.

Aaaand there's a flag. That's a false start against Russell Okung.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

Maybe everyone else just doesn't start fast enough for Russell Okung.

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

 

Marshawn Lynch running well early.

21 yards for Lynch, now at 4-26.

— Liz Mathews 710 ESPN (@Liz_Mathews)

 

Pass to Robert Turbin.

Wow, Wilson with another nice pay. Scrambles to buy time, finds Turbin who gets past the chains.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

 

Russell Wilson sacked on fourth down. Seahawks to punt.

Wilson shows off in the backfield again, but he never gets any receivers open. Fourth down and Jon Ryan is in to punt.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

Wilson with a Cyler Miles moment by not throwing it away and losing yards.

— Mo Mo Grenadier (@TheMattHolt)

Clint Gresham downed that punt at the PHI 7. He's the long-snapper.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Quick three and out for the Eagles.

Eagles will go three and out. Second down hit by Chancellor on Celek may have sent early message.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Jon Ryan bobbles a snap, fumbles, Eagles recover on their own 14 yard line.

Man… that's the second straight week Jon Ryan has dropped a punt snap. That's unusual.

— Curtis Crabtree (@Curtis_Crabtree)

Can we not talk about the amazing special teams of the Eagles? That was all on Seattle, kids. ALL.

— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz)

 

Seahawks stop the Eagles on third down, but the Eagles will go for it on fourth down. Eagles convert.

Three runs sets up fourth and one and Eagles going for it.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

McCoy appears to have it.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

After a stuff of LeSean McCoy the Seahawks allow a touchdown on a pass to Jeremy Maclin. Eagles lead 7-0.

The Eagles sent Maclin in motion, and no one from the Seahawks' defense followed him across the field. Created a 1-on-2 mismatch.

— Jayson Jenks (@JaysonJenks)

That was easy, easy, easy on that TD. Two on one on perimeter. That's butter for Chip Kelly system.

— Curtis Crabtree (@Curtis_Crabtree)

Eagles haven't done anything impressive so far, apart from hypnotizing Jon Ryan before that punt.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

 

James Carpenter goes down after DeMarcus Dobbs gets hurt on the kick return.

Chris Prosinski landed on the back of Demarcus Dobbs' left leg, which led to him being carted off. Now James Carpenter down as well.

— Curtis Crabtree (@Curtis_Crabtree)

 

Carpenter back.

Carpenter back in after Lynch gets no gain. Third and 8.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Defensive holding bails Seahawks out for a first down.

Eagles called for defensive holding on third down and Seahawks a first down at the 25.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

Was Wilson not way past the line of scrimmage when he threw that on third down?

— Jayson Jenks (@JaysonJenks)

Looked that way to me. I thought the flag was for an illegal forward pass. I believe the term "dumbf**k" left my mouth.

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

 

After a big pass to Doug Baldwin, a big pass to Tony Moeaki.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

Wilson to Moeaki for 15. Seattle again in Eagles' territory at the 39.

Marshawn just climbed over that Eagles defender like he was on the AgroCrag

— Jacs Frost (@JacsonBevens)

 

2^nd Quarter

Russell Wilson runs on the left side for 26 yards and a touchdown. Game tied at 7.

Russell Mariota.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

This Eagles team would be scary with Russ at Q

— Geoff Stella (@geoffrocks)

My god. They watch film EVERY week, and yet the DE always collapses. I'm not complaining, but…

— Aaron Levine (@AaronQ13Fox)

 

Eagles struggling early, despite score.

Seattle now has 144 total yards to the Eagles 20.

— Liz Mathews 710 ESPN (@Liz_Mathews)

 

Darren Sproles drop for a loss of eight.

Eagles will punt after Hill tackle of Sproles for 8-yard loss kills drive.

As Sproles is being tacked for a loss, Chiefs took 14-6 lead in AZ and Raiders took 10-7 lead over Niners.

— mitch levy (@kjrmitch)

Eagles forced to punt on ensuing series. 1st & 10 Seahawks at our 16.

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks)

Philly Special Teams makes me nervous

— DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle)

 

Russell.

Russell Wilson is the sixth modern QB to rush for at least 700 yards in a season.

— Miracle On ARth St. (@KennethArthuRS)

Right now, Russell Wilson is the 15th leading rusher in the NFL, 14th in rushing TDs, and leads all qualified runners w/ 7.6 yards per carry

— Jacs Frost (@JacsonBevens)

which includes kneel down. Insane numbers for Wilson

— Connor (@migsY2K)

 

Seahawks three and out. Poor punt by Jon Ryan, who is uncharacteristically struggling today.

Clean catch but poor punt for Jon Ryan — 32 yards

— Larry Stone (@StoneLarry)

 

Followed by an Eagles three and out. What was expected to be an exciting game is relatively uneventful.

Chris Maragos is all over the place for the Eagles’ special teams right now.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

Obvious statement but hell of a start by defense.

— Ian Furness (@IanKJR)

Baldwin with a decent punt return. Avoids a couple of tackles to bring it out from the 11 to the 16.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

Eagles get to 4th down in a hurry.

— Kenny Mayne (@Kenny_Mayne)

 

Russell Wilson catches Trent Cole in the neutral zone for a Seahawks first down.

Smart, Russ.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

 

Great catch by Doug Baldwin.

Wilson's best throw today

— Danny Kelly (@FieldGulls)

Wow, great pass by Wilson to sneak that ball in there to Baldwin. That's a 20-yard pickup.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Wilson called for intentional grounding, taking the Seahawks out of field goal range. Seahawks to punt.

Kendricks on delayed blitz forces intentional grounding that takes Seahawks out of field goal range. Seattle to punt from 47.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Seahawks defense looking good early.

The Eagles offense that has been blowing out defenses all over the league? Well, they're averaging 2.8 yards per play against the Seahawks.

— Jacs Frost (@JacsonBevens)

 

Eagles stopped on third down deep in their territory. Will punt.

Eagles will punt from own 28 after Maxwell stops Cooper two yards short on third down. 1:43 left in first half.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Doug Baldwin with a first down catch.

Seahawks convert third an 13 on 20-yard pass to Baldwin to midfield.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Wilson throwing the ball away a lot in the first half.

If I could start The Sideline as a receiver, I would dominate my fantasy league.

— Michael Tanier (@MikeTanier)

 

Wilson buys his own time, finds Paul Richardson for a first down. Seahawks in field goal range again.

Seattle has picked up two third and 15s and a third and 13.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Nearing the end of the half, Doug Baldwin with a big catch to bring the Seahawks closer to a field goal. Play to be reviewed regarding Baldwin having control. Confirmed. Steven Hauschka good from 44 yards. Seahawks lead going into have 10-7.

Steven Hauschka on the sideline like: https://t.co/IMi2CfhXuo

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

It's good! Hauschka puts it through the uprights from 44 yards out, and the take a 10-7 lead just before halftime.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

Half ends. Seattle up 10-7.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Halftime

Sanchez 4/9, 28 yards

— Dave Softy Mahler (@Softykjr)

For all the talk of the Eagles' offense, the Seahawks have run twice as many plays (47) as the Eagles (23) and have four times as many yards

— Jayson Jenks (@JaysonJenks)

Total yards: Seahawks – 242 Eagles – 67

— Jacs Frost (@JacsonBevens)

Am I glad Seattle had the ball for 22 minutes- sure- but against Chip- TOP means less than against most

— DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle)

Chip Kelly's ballclub only needs seven more total yards to equal the number of receiving yards Doug Baldwin has today.

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

Regional vocabulary is weird. In the South they call all kinds of soda "Coke". In Seattle they call commercials "Russell Wilson Time."

— Patrick Dubuque (@euqubud)

 

3^rd Quarter

2nd half kickoff goes out of the endzone and Eagles will start at their 20.

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks)

 

LeSean McCoy fumbles on first play from scrimmage.

FUMBLE! Seattle ball. What a huge break.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

KJ Wright strip…Seattle has forced 25 fumbles- most in NFL- recovered 10.

— DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle)

 

Pass across the field to Marshawn Lynch, who strolls into the endzone for a touchdown. Seahawks lead 17-7.

That's our weirdo!

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

Mike Holmgren: I don't understand why they aren't throwing the ball more on 1st down.

— mitch levy (@kjrmitch)

 

On the ensuing kickoff, what looks like a fumble is recovered by the Seahawks. Refs call it down, Seahawks challenge. Call stands, remains Eagles ball.

I think Hauschka went for the strip there.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

Josh Huff looked sweet there- I liked him in the Draft more than Norwood and so did Philly apparently

— DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle)

 

Defensive pass interference called on Bobby Wagner.

I agree with that dpi…call it both ways though

— Happy HoliDaves (@dhodgs)

 

Touchdown pass to Zach Ertz. Seahawks lead 17-14.

not only was he toast on that, he didn't tackle him. frustrating

— Danny Kelly (@FieldGulls)

That wheel route up the sideline is the one play that has consistently beaten the Seahawks defense this year.

— Jacs Frost (@JacsonBevens)

 

After a Paul Richardson return to the nine yard line, Russell Wilson with a 12 yard run.

Paul, you need to learn to just take a knee for the touchback. You're hurting the team with some of these run-outs.

— Sonics Faithful (@Jome20)

Wilson! He keeps it, nobody realizes it, and he picks up 12.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Doug Baldwin goes for the ball on a deep pass. He’s covered well, but Bradley Fletcher impedes his path to the ball. Defensive pass interference.

Doug Baldwin is so smart.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

That's pass interference against ' DB Bradley Fletcher. Huge call. now at PHI 35.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

Another huge flag on Philly. 44 yard penalty. Baldwin doing everything

— Dave Softy Mahler (@Softykjr)

PHI 24 made contact before playing the ball. Clear DPI.

— Mike Pereira (@MikePereira)

https://twitter.com/FakeSportsCentr/status/541737947817869312

 

Russell Wilson floats a ball into the willing arms of Doug Baldwin for a touchdown. Seahawks lead 24-14.

Well that was quite the answer drive there by Seattle.

— Curtis Crabtree (@Curtis_Crabtree)

I'm not so sure the Eagles secondary could even cover Cardboard Doug Baldwin right now.

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

Total yards: Seahawks 308 Eagles 108

— Dave Softy Mahler (@Softykjr)

Scoring Drive: 5 plays 1 penalty 91 yards 3:08 Wilson to Baldwin. Clutch. Seahawks lead 24-14.

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks)

 

Eagles to punt after gaining only one first down.

Fans want a hold on Sherman but the officials don't throw flag and Eagles will punt from own 37.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Seahawks drive stalls, trade punts with the Eagles.

Sproles muffs the punt reception, but he jumps on it. will start from own 33.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

After a great open field tackle, then great coverage on a third down play by Byron Maxwell, Philadelpia’s drive stalls. Then Jason Peters gets a personal foul saying something to a referee, pushing the Eagles back 15 yards before the punt. Doug Baldwin absolutely drilled right as he caught the punt. Also, Seahawks called for holding on the return.

Seahawks returners gotta learn how to call for a fair catch and take a knee.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

Holding on Tharold Simon, who takes off helmet and yells in protest. Sherman races over to push Simon back to sideline.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

 

Jermaine Kearse sprawls out and makes an amazing diving catch.

Kearse with his highlight of the season (so far). Stretches out for a beautiful 20-yard reception.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Big pass to Ricardo Lockette.

And now a 19-yard crab by Ricardo Lockette. Nice catch there and the are at the PHI 39.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

that's a a big crab.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

 

Seahawks go deep again on third and long, but to no avail. Seahawks will punt.

Underthrew that one by about ten yards

— Danny Kelly (@FieldGulls)

For real- a pick is OK right there- same with that deep shot to Kearse on 3rd- those are actually "good" picks if you tackle the defender.

— DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle)

 

4^th Quarter

Seahawks would have been better off if Fletcher had picked that one off.

— Patrick Dubuque (@euqubud)

 

Michael Bennett sacks Mark Sanchez on first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.

Alert the FCC: Mike Bennett is dancing.

— John Boyle (@johnpboyle)

Michael Bennett sack dance just made this game TV-MA.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

 

Following an Eagles punt.

Eagles update: 3.7 yards per play

— Jeff Nusser (@NussCoug)

Fair Catch every punt and kneel every kick return.

— DAVIS HSU (@DavisHsuSeattle)

 

Wilson to Kearse after he spins away from the pass rush.

Another nice play by Kearse. He bails out Wilson and picks up the first down.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Screen to Kearse.

And another nice pickup by Kearse. He's having his best game of the year.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Russell Wilson tackled for a five yard loss on a designed run.

That’s a great play by Trent Cole … after three tries.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

 

Marshawn Lynch fumbles. Eagles recover.

Lynch fumbles after a short pass and the Eagles recover at their own 31. 9:07 left to play. Maybe last shot for Eagles to make it a game.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta)

At least three FG attempts thwarted by Seahawks own stupidity today.

— Casey McLain (@TheCaseyMcLain)

 

Tharold Simon with an interception on the first play after the fumble. Play reviewed, likely to see if Cooper contacted Simon. K.J. Wright also was the one to tackle Simon.

That was a dreadful throw.

— Stephen Cohen (@scohenPI)

Tharold Simon w/ his first career pick, then he gets tackled by KJ Wright. That seemed inevitable (Sanchez throwing a pick, not the tackle).

— John Boyle (@johnpboyle)

The only thing they need to review here is whether or not KJ Wright targeted his own damn teammate with that beastly hit.

— Seattle Sportsnet (@alexSSN)

That ball is coming back 11 yards to where Simon intercepted that, ruling that he was touched while on the ground. start at SEA 30

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

About eight minutes left.

Eagles have 127 total yards. Chip Kelly's NFL career-low is 200 total yards.

— Miracle On ARth St. (@KennethArthuRS)

WOW. RT : Entering today Eagles led NFL with 73 offensive plays per game. Seahawks currently at 74. Eagles at 38.

Oh WOW WOW WOW. Malcolm Jenkins just about picked that off. Dropped it. Had a lot of green in front of him.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

Ryan punts it and it goes out of bounds at the PHI 14.

— Nick Eaton (@njeaton)

 

Mark Sanchez sacked on first down.

SACK! Jordan Hill finishes what Michael Bennett started. Loss of 4 yards.

And again.

Burley, in due to the Simon injury, gets the sack on corner blitz.

Eagles to punt.

The Eagles have 139 net yards right now. 3.08 yards per play. Seahawks winning TOP 38 – 18 right now

— Danny Kelly (@FieldGulls)

 

Seahawks win 24-14.

I think most Seahawks fans were looking forward to a big game at home next week. Unfortunately, it's just the lowly 49ers coming to town.

Eagles time of possession: 18:04 Seahawks time of possession: 41:56 Total domination. The NFC (still) goes through Seattle.
