Title: The Eagles "Things you are tired of" thread!
Post by: hbionic on October 19, 2007, 12:09:16 PM
I'm tired of hearing each and every game when the camera pans to Jim Johnson on how his defensive 'scheme' brings problems to opposing offenses because of our blitzing. That the Eagles bring it from all angles.

Yeah, the Eagles blitz from all angles....all the angles that SUCK!

I've never seen a team blitz more times and people and get little to no results. EVERY OTHER team out there 'blitzes' better than us. Other teams create havoc with one or two guys extra crashing the line than us sending 3 to 9 guys. Everytime I see us going for the blitz, it's always bad news. 20 times out of 4, the other team will get the 1st down or better.

I'm tired of that shtein. I'm tired of us blitzing and blitzing at the wrong times. I cringe when I see us blitz.

Its because everyone knows we blitz and the other teams do something our coaches don't, "game planing and adjusting"

wonderful fargin concept

reno mahe. i am sick of him. i hate him. reno last week had an opening like no other but he's so damn slow he couldn't even burn a bunch of special teamers. piss poor return game. whatever happened to the brian mitchells. can we please get a fargin returner already.

linebackers. please god help them figure out linebacker is an important position.

mormon players. enough already.

The O-line can't pick up a blitz to save their lives. I often asked myself why D-coordinators didn't blitz more over the years. Now that McNabb is less mobile they're coming after him more on a regular basis.

I've never seen play action used more poorly then when the Eagles use it

I'm tired of the Breast Cancer Awareness shtein being overblown. I know its for a great cause but the Eagles go overboard with it.

thats fine and dandy, but id rather them be number one defense and actually being contenders to win the super bowl. problem is teams adjust to the eagles blitz and have been successful at doing it. those are the teams that beat us and are contenders. IT DOESN'T WORK unless they have a adjustment to the other teams adjustments. ha! AIDS! I WIN!

Go on Atkins, and you can have the wings (unless they are breaded, which is nasty anyway).  Sorry about the fies.  Have some celery with blue cheese.

Back on topic...
If every year my projects failed to live up to expectations, and I went to my boss and took responsibility for the failure, my ass would be out on the street.  You know what Andy?  If every mistake this team makes is your fault, why don't we solve these problems by eliminating the cause?!?

He doesn't deserve to be the fall guy, but whatever.  It's going to be a bunch of down years until this team has a chance to win a Super Bowl again.  We could be multiple coaches and QB's away.  I'll probably be a grandfather.

Still, the Reid/McNabb era has ZERO chance to win one now, so breaking it up is a start.

True that.  Think about that for a second.

Considine... who's supposed to have bulked up for run support... let a DB/WR who he literally outweighs by 25 pounds come across the middle and carry him 3-4 extra yards with him on his back.

That Hoyda... Ladies and Gentleman... is the starting strong safety for YOUR Philadelphia Eagles.

-I'm tired of people acting surprised that the Eagles aren't very good after every game.  

Sure a win would have felt less like a kick in the groin than that kind of loss...but even without that ridiculous drive, they didn't play well enough to evoke even false hope.

-I'm really tired of Reggie Brown's "hands".

-I'm sick of Considine's "tackling".

-I'm tired of Westbrook being the only legitimate weapon.

-I'm tired of the playcalling on both sides of the ball.

-I'm tired of the average-feel of the team, all the way around.

-I'm tired of rehashing all of this. :-X

you have no idea the rage that play brought up in me...i usually cheer, or say stuff to my friends, i rarely do the yell at the field thing because i think it looks rather silly.  but that play led me to lose self control for about 30 seconds.

Trust me.  The people I watched the game with will tell you I have a pretty good idea.  Mrs. Feva actually took notice that I reacted less to the GW TD he gave up than what he did on that play.

I'd like to nominate the phrase "Sean Considine - STRONG Safety" to the full-blown AIDS party.

He's anything but strong.  In fact, he plays like a high school safety out there.  He has no business starting for this team under any circumstances.

That said, I have no doubt the Eagles will sign him to a contract extension.  None whatsoever.
