Title: Just like dumping ABreu helped the Phils ...
Post by: schoebelsballs on September 18, 2006, 01:00:13 PM
dumping Reid and McNabb would do wonders for the Eagles.  Addition by subtraction is true.  Lurie and the rest of the cronnies need to remove Reid from power.  If they would have done this at the end of last year, we could have drafted Jay Cutler as the QB of the future and have Brad Childress as our head coach.  Maybe then we wouldn't have to painfully watch Reid waste more and more and more timeouts.   If we had an extra timeout at the end of the first half, maybe we put up seven instead of three. 

What the hell was McNabb doing on that 4th down rollout ????? THrow the ball dummy, it's 4th down !!! Maybe you complete a pass, or at worse, pin the Giants down at their 5 yard line.

Yea its McNabbs fault his receivers weren't open. You rather him risk it and throw a pick? Its McNabbs fault Reid called those plays. Its McNabb's fault his 2 best receivers of the day dropped crucial passes that were given to them right on the hands. Right. Your clueless about the game of football.

speaking of schoebel, didn't we get him for his hands?  mcnabb laid the ball out as good as it could be, soft and right over his shoulder, and he blew it.  would have been a great way for his first home game, definitely would have got the crowd behind him.

He was throwing it to Schobel, I think.  He figured he had as good a chance of catching it out of play as he did right on his hands in the end zone.  Calculated risk.

Matt Schoebel is a complete joke.  That was laughable watching that moron try to catch that perfectly thrown touchdown pass.  He should've just keep going out the tunnel, back to Cincinatti.

You're an idiot.

It's obvious you didn't even watch the play you're bitching about.  The play (a rollout pass) was designed to go to one receiver and one receiver only... and that was Westbrook.  There wasn't even another receiver on that side of the field in a pattern.  Westbrook ran just beyond the marker and was setting up to catch the pass when he was knocked down by a defender.  McNabb had no one to throw the ball to.

Was it a dumb playcall?  You bet your ass it was.  But to sit up here and bitch that McNabb should "throw the pick" is uneducated as hell.

This is a public message board where people have their own opinions.  You even contradict yourself when you say "IMO".

All I'm saying is that I'm tired of seeing the same mistakes, mostly by Reid, over and over and over again.  The leadership on this team appears to be lacking, I'd like to see it replaced ....... IMO !

you'd rather have cutler? how much bathtub crank have you been snorting? do you think QBs that can shred the giants D for 400 yards grow on trees?

brady, palmer, peyton, maybe brees

ugh. how long have you been watching the NFL for? two weeks? this league EATS qbs up and spits them out as empty shells (see culpepper, warner, bledsoe, etc.).

this loss had zippy to do with mcnabb. maybe reid... but i really think it was just a perfect storm of poor execution. dropped balls, inability to grab fumbles, dropped passes, a cornerback (hanson) who was in over his head, a stupid penalty for kicking, lewis' inability to protect the deep pass in the cover 2, etc.

There is absolutely an argument about that!! And putting the over/under at four years is a little cowardly. If it is that evident to everyone I would be left with the assumption that he will be gone after this year. If he wins a Super bowl in the next three years, do you think he will be fired? Take a look at Cowher, would you fire him this year?

Post by: Sgt PSN on September 22, 2006, 02:20:32 PM
I get pissed as hell at Reid for some of his bone headed play calling sometimes but overall, I'm very pleased with the job he's done.  He's helped turn the Eagles into one of the premier franchises in the NFL and has had a legitimate SB contender for about 5 years now.  Last year was a disaster but far from Reid's fault. 

Anywho, I'm sure there have been fans in Pitt who have been calling for Cowher's head for years.  After all, it had been a decade since their last SB appearance.  But the guy kept putting an extremely competetive team on the field year after year. 

I think people make too much out of it when a coach wins a SB early in his coaching tenure with a team.  It only took Billick a couple of years to win one but the Ravens haven't really been competitve since.  Gruden won in his first year with the Bucs and they've done next to nothing since then. 

The biggest problem in the NFL today when it comes to building championship franchises is keeping continuety among the players because of free agency.  The best way to combat that is to keep continuity with the coaches.  If you're changing head coaches every 5 years then you're probably not going to have a successful team.  You might get lucky one year and win a SB but the long term success of the franchise has been compromised imo.

All that is fine and dandy Sassy, but the man cannot manage a game.  Period.  He has maybe a high school level proficiency regarding clock managment and time outs, and he's positively addicted to calling pass plays.  I'm tired of it.  He's gotten all kinds of slack from me for years, but my good will is running dry. 

How many more times do I have to watch a timeout on second down following an incomplete pass, in the 1st or 3rd quarter?  How many more times do I have to watch pass, pass, pass, punt?

It's infuriating.

You must not know too many Steelers fans.  Until their 15-1 season there was plenty of criticism of his ability and many of their fans thought he was the reason why they lost to the Patriots in the AFCCG two years ago.

You can't expect IGY to know that. He doesn't watch anything but Eagles games.

All that is fine and dandy Sassy, but the man cannot manage a game. Period. He has maybe a high school level proficiency regarding clock managment and time outs, and he's positively addicted to calling pass plays. I'm tired of it. He's gotten all kinds of slack from me for years, but my good will is running dry.

I'm not saying the guy is above criticsm.  He's far from it.  But at the same time, there's a bunch of "great" coaches in the league who have their own faults as well.  Shanahan hadn't won a playoff game without Elway until last year.  Dick Vermeil didn't win a single playoff game in KC despite having one of the top offenses in the league.  Tony Dungy hasn't gotten Indy to the SB either.  It took Cowher like 13 or 14 years to win one with Pitt. 

Every coach on that list has faults.  They've all made poor decisions/adjustments during games.  They've all done something at some point in time to cost their team a shot at a title.  I'm not a Reid "apologist" but at the same time, I don't think there is anyone out there I would rather have coaching this team other than maybe Billicheck. 

Bringing in a new coach will almost guarantee a new philiosophy.  New offense, new defense or whatever.  Randall Cunningham was benched in favor of Rodney Peete when Ray Rhodes brought in the WCO.  In what universe should Cunningham be benched in favor of Peete?  But that's what happens sometimes when you change coaches.  I like most of the players we have here and would like to see them stick around for a while.

How many more times do I have to watch a timeout on second down following an incomplete pass, in the 1st or 3rd quarter? How many more times do I have to watch pass, pass, pass, punt?

1826 more times.  Get used to it.  :P

i will never argue against poor time management esp in 2 min drills but the timeout issue....ive seen and see many games where teams have to burn timesouts in the 1st and 3rd qrt cause of the play clock, what the defense is showing, or whatever...thats not limited to reid.

If you take a timeout in the first or third quarter, you farged something up.

The Eagles waste timeouts and it's mostly because of coaching blunders.....not getting the play in in time.  And when the Eagles take a time out because of the opposing defense, it's because the play came to the huddle so slowly that McNabb does not have time to audible out of it. 

And the execution of the 2 min drill has nothing to do with timeouts.  Teams practice running the 2 min drill with no timeouts and the Eagles are about the worst in the league at it.  Slow getting to the line, slow getting the play in.  I've seen them waste 20 seconds just so they could spike the ball.  Against the Giants the punt team burned a time out.  The friggin PUNT TEAM!  That's inexcusable.  They are slow when there should be a sense of urgency.  Just flat out slow.  And that primarily starts with the coaching.

Okay, so I'm the only one that has seen a major improvement in getting the plays in on time this year. I guess Reid still sucks.

im sure white trash kissin cousin steel worker pittsburgh fans wanted cowher gone and claimed he was a horrid coach...but that doesnt make it so...people in the know always knew that the cat was a great football coach despite not winning the supertbowl

this is clearly not the case with reid who has had numerous coaching implosions and debacles thruout his career and everyone from joey in fishtown to igy knows it

Not going to watch Houston - Washington? Or how about Chicago - Minny? Cincy - Pittsburgh is another good 1pm game.

This is why I love the late starts. So I can watch the other games early and then settle in and watch the Birds.

I'll probably just keep the Red Zone Channel on during the 1pm games.  Holla.
