Oh yeah, don't tell me his performance of late doesn't deserve it's own thread!!
20 carries for 141 yds., and a 49 yd. TD run. All I can say is WOW! Is there a better runningback in the playoffs at this point in time?? I think his performance yesterday was right up there with the best. He might still be second best to LT, but his performance since Dmac went down and Morningweg making a commitment to the run have him proving just how good he really is. Farging awesome man. Any time he touches the ball, he has the chance to take it to the house. He's on fire! In his last two games not counting the Atlanta game, he has 263 yds.!! I loved it when Sal Pal was interviewing him after the game. You could just see the intensity......or maybe it was an itchy, scratchy burning sensation down south, I don't know. He just looks like he is a man on a mission.
He'd have had another TD if not for having the punt return called back. I love him returning punts in the playoffs. He just one Dangerous A Motherfarger!! DAM!!
and he did all that with the flu and a few bathroom breaks

I wish Westbrook was a complete jerkoff so I could hate him, but, alas, I do not.
I'd hate to see what he would've done to us without the cramps.
I've got mad respect for the man.
At least you guys caught a break when the blatant block in the back was actually called, unlike his punt return TD in 2003 where it went uncalled and propelled the Eagles to victory.
Of course, you lost both times, so that's not really important right now.
Sorry, we Philly fans suck at being graceful winners.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It was almost like Barber passed the Tiki torch yesterday. Badum Ching.

Same goes for most of us here in regards to Tiki. It's kind of hard to really hate on the guy even though he's been about the biggest thorn in the Eagles side in recent memory.
Well, him and Andy Reid.
LOL- I hear ya.
Reid may have his "issues", but, you guys have done pretty damn good under him the last, what?, 5 years (including this one).
Five out of last six NFC East championships, despite Reid's gameday sabotage.

I said the same thing to a buddy of mine (a Giant fan) yesterday.
If we're this obnoxious after playoff wins just try and imagine how unbearable it would be to know one of us if/when the Eagles finally win a SB.

I'm just glad Westbrook shut up everyone this year about not being able to carry the load/be a 1000 yard back/blah blah blah.
They've eve nstarted using the FB as a lead blocker more....Westy/Buck is good...they might be able to find something better then Buckhalter for next year....but if not, I won't be too upset about it. Just hope Buck's knees hold out for two years in a row.

Poor Eli looks like a whipped dog sitting on the bench. Some one needs to tell him to at least close his mouth. Sitting there with his jaw gapped open makes him look like a friggen' backwoods bumpkin'. I was waiting for the shot that showed spit dripping off the end of that hang lip he has.
........duuhhhhyeeeee!
Eli gets that look just like Eore from Winnie the Pooh
Westbrook is the best all around back in the entire NFC right now. He may not quite be the runner that some others are, but when you factor in receiving, clutch plays, and ability to return punts and such then I think he is the best overall back in the NFC right now.

Great article on Bwest.link (http://squealind.football.sportsline.com/news/9926009)
QuoteAgainst the New York Giants in the opening week of the playoffs, Westbrook again proved his toughness. In fact, he had to pull himself off the bathroom floor at halftime because of a stomach virus.
I'm tellin' ya'. You could see the look in his eyes after that game. He's a man on a mission.
Quote from: shorebird on January 12, 2007, 07:13:15 PMYou could see the look in his eyes after that game.
I have a man crush on him too.
It's good to know I'm not the only one.
Oh let's be clear...he's the superstar on this team. He's got the talent, skills and discipline. He's got the right attitude. He doesn't quit, he's not soft, he's not weak. Ever. Well, except injuries, which I view as fate more than anything else. He came out of Villanova. He's dreamy.
He's great in every respect except durability. And with a valid back to help him, as a healthy well-used Buckhalter is proving to be and any number of other guys could also be, I don't worry about the durability.
I luv me sum Brian Westbrook.
Settle down there, hippy.
You ain't lying. And how about Cbuck coming back from two knee surgeries? Between the two of them, they have more injuries than half the NFL.
Bwest is proving that Reid doesn't have to rely half as much on Dmac's arm as he does. I hope that hardheaded MF can see what happening here.
Quote from: rjs246 on January 12, 2007, 07:25:22 PM

Alright. But you know I'm right. He's all that.
Just one season of him playing every game and I will gladly agree with you. Until that day, the Buckhalter/Westbrook combo will continue to make my palms sweat.
Bwest started 15 games this year. That ain't bad, considering his track record.
He missed one game and was hobbled in the one before it. I agree that it was better than most of his seasons, but I still don't like it.

Don't get me wrong..the man crush is on Westbrook...not Buckhalter. He's done well this year in support, but he's not special.
Westbrook is special.
You're special.
Oh snap!
Oh I know, it's Bwest and only Bwest. Last week sank the hook.
A real quality video featuring Westbrook. Maybe some of you have seen it, I'm sure some haven't. Anyway... reminds you that Westbrook is a bad muthafarger.

1955 all purpose.
And I don't know if this includes the 141 yards he is leading the post season with.
I don't know about all that "man crush" stuff, but he should be in the Pro Bowl!
Who knows...maybe Walter Paytonish!

What's ill is that the best is yet to come from him now that the Eagles are starting to balance the offense.
If Andy goes back to 60%+ passing next year, I'm on the FIRE ANDY bandwagon for good. Westbrook is roughly 8 times the weapon that Donovan is anymore.
couldnt get thru more than one bar of will i am
then i tried it with the volume down and still couldnt do it as all that kept going thru my head was that corny bastich dancing around singing that awful chorus

If Reid goes back to 60% passing after seeing what Westbrook can do, the name of the bandwagon would change to KILL REID.
This point is even further driven home by Westbrook's inability to catch a farging ball.
One. Trick. Pony.
Home run or nothing.
It would have been nice to have a Deuce McAllister-type back to wear down the defense.
It also would have been nice to have an offensive line.
4 rushes for 104 yards.
9 rushes for 12 yards.
I know that everyone loves this cat, but can this team please just get someone to grind out yards? I'm sure you'll all post youtube links and stats about his yards per carry, but I will take farging Jerome Bettis over the occasional home run right now and if you wouldn't, you're an idiot.
I'll take both. Buckhalter is garbage. How farging hard is it to spend $2 mil on a back that can run between the tackles. Honestly.
The Saints run defense was very good tonight. Unless we had LT would it have mattered? Who would've done what Westbrook couldn't?
Quote from: King Cole on January 14, 2007, 01:06:05 AM
The Saints run defense was very good tonight. Unless we had LT would it have mattered? Who would've done what Westbrook couldn't?
Die. Right now.
No answer. That's what I thought.
OK, you want an answer?
We have a coach who has repeatedly said that he doesn't want to overwork Westbrook because he's afraid of getting him hurt.
We have a team that ranked at the bottom of the league in time of possession this year.
We have a team that lost SEVERAL games this year that they were leading. And several of those were in the fourth quarter.
Do you see a farging correlation here?
You're a joke, and everyone recognizes that. You and Munson are in a class by yourselves, but if you can't see that Westbrook needs a complimentary back then you need to eat some rat poison and walk into traffic. Right now.
I didn't say that. You said he is an all or none back and isn't an every down back. I agree that he needs a compliment... most backs do. But you are using tonight to rip Westbrook? Please. He is absolutely a back that can handle the load. The Saints played great run defense tonight. Who would've done what Brian couldn't tonight?
He is an all or none back. Tonight is only one example out of many.
Defend him all you want. I don't really care. Your opinion means nothing because you're a clueless homer. As I've always said: He's an exciting player. A talented player. But he isn't the kind of player that should be a feature back. You can have a different opinion, I guess, but I'll take a guy who gets positive yardage EVERY PLAY over someone who hits a homerun every now and then and who dances like a dipshtein behind the line on every other play.
So last week's playoff game where he singlehandedly won the game with 2 minutes left with pretty much nothing but carries doesn't count? Youz a hater that isn't content unless you have something to complain about. Westbrook needs some help but is plenty capable of carrying most of the load.
RJS bashes Reid a ton, but is quick to his cock when it comes to Westbrook.
The "all or nothing" guy is going to have that type of night when the coach refuses to run him enough to let him gain chunks of yards at a time. See: last week, late drive. Run, run, run, etc....Tonight? Pass...run...pass...punt...run...pass, pass, punt...etc...
Next year, Westbrook needs to average about 20 carries a game, and someoen else who can push people around needs to get an addition 8-10 a game.
Unfortuantely that won't happen with Reid as head coach.

Hey numbnuts, are you using one of ONLY games in Westbrook's career where he was able to run out a clock as your baseline? That game is BY FAR the exception.
You dipshteins are so predictable. Anyone says anything negative about the team, no matter how obviously correct it is, and you fly off the handle trying to defend it. WESTBROOK IS NOT A GRIND IT OUT BACK. THIS TEAM NEEDS A GRIND IT OUT BACK. Just like every team in the NFL does. I'm not saying they should cut Westbrook, I'm saying that they shouldn't ever expect him to be able to wear a defense down because he can't farging do it.
Clowns.
They need a two pronged attack. I agree. Let Westbrook do his thing but have another thumper in there. Not necessarily a "big back" (I think that term is overused and cliche) but a guy who can run effectively along with Westy.
Indy has Rhodes and Addai
Dallas has Barber and Jones
Giants had Tiki and Jacobs
Pats have Maroney and Dillon
Chicago has Benson and Jones
Jacksonville has Jones-Drew and Taylor
Washington has Portis and Betts
New Orleans has McAllister and Bush
Tampa has Pittman and Williams
Atlanta has Dunn and Norwood
They need something like that.
anyone that would criticize westbrook even in a backhanded kind of way is a moron
like i said in another thread hes arguably the best player in the nfl
its a farging tragedy that he only got 13 carries last night
He isn't the best player in the NFL. He's a one-trick pony that needs a compliment. I love the dude to death and I'm glad he's an Eagle but until they get someone competent to run along side of him this team's offense will be incomplete.
Yeah, the Eagles probably needed to run more, but there were gaping holes in the Saints secondary. It seemed like every completion the WRs were a couple of yards separated from the DBs. I didn't mind passing the ball in most of those situations, excluding short yardage. 2nd and 1 within the 10 I don't know why you don't run it two times and just pick up a friggin' half yard a pop for goodness sake. A whole new set of downs within the 5 yard line would have been huge.
Also, the O-line didn't play up to expectations yesterday. The blitz was way too effective and the guards and tackles did not do a good job of sealing off their blocks on the off tackle runs. It seemed like the Saints front seven always had a good jump off the ball and blew up the play on the inside before it really had a chance to materialize.
I sure wish he would have been able to catch the ball better last night though. :-\
He's a one-trick pony that needs a compliment
what the hell are you talking about....youre just retarded
the injury thing will always be there...but hes proved to be a no doubt about it #1 running back who can carry a team by himself if need be...hes a not a complimentary back...thats just insanity
He's not a complimentary back. He NEEDS a complimentary back. He's a homerun hitter and nothing else. He's been able to grind out the clock, what, three times in his career. That won't cut it and I'm sick of his farging dancing behind the line when all the team needs is 2 or 3 positive yards. You will never convince me that they don't need another back. Ever. Homeruns are fun, but I'll take a 3 yard gain and half a minute off the clock when this team has a lead and he can't do that.
He's been able to grind out the clock, what, three times in his career
which is about the number of times hes been given the chance to grind out the clock
theres nothing westbrook cant do...given the chance hed do what he did vs the giants on that last drive all the time
but I'll take a 3 yard gain and half a minute off the clock when this team has a lead and he can't do that
running backs run...and hes runs better than almost anyone...if youre talking about 3rd and 1 and want a power back to get a yard then ill bite...but if youre talking about running and gaining yards which is what you need to do to run clock then ill take westbrook everytime

He isn't the best player in the NFL. He's a one-trick pony
??? He's flat out the best player on this team, and one of the most versitile players in the league. He can't beat you running, catching passes, and returning punts. Calling him a "one-trick pony" is crazy.
You said we weren't going to win. Yet, you want to attack the best player on the team after it's over. Do you plan on giving the Saints D any credit?? They knew they had to stop Bwest if they had any chance of winning, and they did a pretty damn good job of it.
We lost to the better team because they had a great game plan to stop our no. 1 weapon.
The Saints were the better team. And they're defense played well. I'm not taking away from that at all. What I'm saying is that this offense is missing an important component. Westbrook doesn't have that component. The Eagles were in a position to win against a superior team and if they were willing and ABLE to run for a yard on sencond and one from the 5 yard line they would have been in the lead in the 4th quarter. But instead they tried to run with Westbrook. Stuff. Pass for minus 2 yards. Game over. Do you think Corey Dillon or Stephen Jackson or even Dominic farging Rhodes gets stuffed there? I don't.

If Andrews is in there, I don't think Bwest gets stopped.
Okay Rustyl, you're the one here who thinks Westbrook is a "one trick pony". The fact is, your favorite coach, Andy Reid, doesn't GIVE him the chance to grind out the clock often, because he doesn't run the freakin ball enough.
Not having Shawn Andrews on that 2nd and 1 was big too....on Westbrook's jump over the pile TD run, Andrews pushed his man back a good 3 yards. Young.....ugh.
That's how the 2006 season has been for this team.....they get to where they are, and thier best olineman gets hurt.

Dont get me wrong...having Andrews would have been nice because he wouldnt have jumped like that worthless replacement Young did....but again, there were so many other issues going on, this was not the reason.

Not that it was at the goal line, but Stephen Alexander got stuffed twice in Chicago territory today just before the 2:00 minute warning...if he'd converted, Seattle may have gotten a FG and won in regulation instead of losing in OT:
3-1-CHI44 (2:26) S.Alexander right tackle to CHI 44 for no gain (C.Harris, L.Briggs).
4-1-CHI44 (2:00) S.Alexander left guard to CHI 46 for -2 yards (L.Briggs).
Sometimes, they all get stuffed.
The problem for me was the play call and/or decision Garcia made to throw to Tapeh on third and one. I'll never understand why throwing to Tapeh would even be an option at a critical point in the game, near the goal line on third down.

I'm not going to nitpick, because I don't expect a lot of people to agree with me, but comparing the Chicago defense to the New Orleans defense is laughable.

That was the same shtein that went on against the Titans earlier this year. We had 3rd and goal from inside the farging one.
Pop Quiz. In this situation did Andy call for:
A. QB sneak
B. A handoff to Westbrook up the middle
C. Nick Cole in a power formation lead blocking for Westbrook/Buckhalter
D. A farging play-action pass to the farging TE (which fooled NO ONE because why the farg would the Eagles run the ball in that situation?) which gets picked off in the end zone thanks to a horrible pass from Donovan McNabb.
In these situations... there is no farging reason to try to get cute. We have the biggest offensive line in the NFL... USE IT! Run the farging ball... QB sneak... anything! Just don't throw the ball to the motherfarging FB short of the 1st down marker! :boom
Leaping over the defense at the goalline is fine. Leaping over the defense at midfield has a high probability for a fumble. Just sayin'.
I think everyone just wanted the Eagles to put the ball in the hands of your best player/players in that situation.
3rd and 1. Line up in the I, have a power set with two TEs, and just try to run it up the gut. Run it towards the Thomas/Herremans side. They are big enough guys to create some room. Plus, that little flare pass to Tapeh was to the short side of the field.
So on top of being a crappy play call Andy gave his players less field to work with. Awesome.
when your season is on the line & you're driving for the go ahead TD in a playoff game, who better to get the ball to than thomas tapeh?
the answer is anyone.
The funny thing is, Reid will keep calling these goofey plays and at some point on a 3rd or 4th and 1 you'll see Reno Mahe running a pitch-out 25 yards down the sideline on a blown defense coverage - and all the announcers will be gushing about what a brilliant call AR made.
That will never happen. Ever.
it will happen the game before Jeremy Bloom is fully recovered and finally ready to step in as the return guy. Also, I think Andy frequently dreams about the 4th and 1 Reno pitch-out for a long TD. Just a hunch.

Anything over 5 yards is a long run for Reno. He gets gassed at the 7 yard mark.
