I think the main reason the Eagles lost is because Fitz was a man among boys out there. He can't be covered one on one or tackled one on one. I can't count the times Dawk's helmet bounced off him and he just kept going. He used and abused the Eagles defense. The linebackers might as well not have even been on the field. That, and the fact that he had a qb that hit him in the numbers on the run every friggen' time.

But, who is to blame for the Eagles D looking so awful? Doesn't the head coach have to take the blame for that?? J.J. takes some blame for shore, but this is Reid's team, Reid's game plan.
It has taken me this long to get over that defeat to post on here, but this is the ONLY post on this thread to mention Brian Dawkins. Sorry, but when Fitz scored on that trick play I want my FREE SAFETY making an effort to cover. McNabb had his faults, but at least he led a comeback. Dawk has been there for evryone of our NFCG chokes yet is immune from criticism. Great in regular season, but DARTH is a post season choker. Heart and soul of the defense? How about quit celebrating after the Giants game. Dawk = choker. Now please board members, please remove his dick from your mouths.

im not even a dawk fan boy like most but to call him a choker is ridiculous


what i will say tho is that its time for him to go...hes become completely one dimensional and if in an nfc championship game you cant trust him to drop back in coverage instead having to rely on an unproven rookie then its time to find someone that can....especially when he isnt even that proficient at tackling anymore

How many big plays has he made in the Eagles final game of the playoffs?  (Conf championship losses, Super Bowl loss, etc)

ice grillin you

how many choking plays has he made in those?

he certainly hasnt stepped up and won a game or dominated and thats a fair criticism for someone who people worship but to call him a choke arist is absolutely ridiculous

Johnson doesn't trust Dawk which is part of the problem. I'll take Dawk back because he's still a top 10 safety in the league and there isn't a better replacement. Plus the guys a warrior and he gets the rest of the D up. Demps is a work in progress at this point.

For a leader and a difference-maker, playing "ok" is akin to choking.

If Donovan choked in that game, Dawkins did too.

youre talking about this year?...wow...if youre gonna say he choked at least pick one of the championship games when he could still play...hes a shell of his former self...if you wanna say he stinks now thats more legitimate than saying he choked

carolina game sticks in my mind, not making a play on the first touchdown that was just thrown up in the endzone
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.
