Bears expect Eagles to attack by air (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/rumors/post/Bears-expect-Eagles-to-attack-by-air?urn=nfl,110453)
You don't say?
All game - Tony Hunt, off tackle, with Klecko lead-blocking.

McNabb practices, Westbrook sits out (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-eagles-injuries&prov=ap&type=lgns)
QuoteDonovan McNabb returned to practice Friday, but the Eagles could be without Brian Westbrook for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bears.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said McNabb was able to make all the necessary throws in practice.
The Eagles will likely miss Pro Bowl guard Shawn Andrews and tight end L.J. Smith, who are both listed as questionable.
However, the big question mark remains the health of Westbrook, Philadelphia's best playmaker.
Westbrook injured an ankle while hurdling a teammate in the Pittsburgh game. He sat out practice all week, but has said he plans on being ready to play.
"We'll see how he does here, over the next couple days," Reid said. "I mentioned before that it's going to go right to the wire there."
Brown returned to the lineup last week but played sparingly. Reid said he expects him to get more opportunities this week.
Curtis has returned to practice with the team but is listed as doubtful.
It would be funny if Curtis made it back before Brown. And by funny, I mean pathetic.
LJ being out seems more like a positive than a negative.
The Associated Press is wrong. Andrews and Smith are doubtful, not questionable.
Here's the whole list:
Victor Abiamiri - Out (wrist)
Shawn Andrews - Doubtful (back)
L.J. Smith - Doubtful (back)
Kevin Curtis - Doubtful (hernia)
Donovan McNabb - Questionable (chest)
Brian Westbrook - Questionable (ankle)
Tony Hunt - probable (concussion)
Dan Klecko - probable (hand)
Jamaal Jackson - probable (quadricep)

Brown played in Week 3, kinda.
if andrews, lj, and westbrook are out i would be worried.
somewhat.
Bonerific bits and pieces:
The Eagles have allowed just 45.7 rushing yards per game and 2.4 yards per carry the first three weeks. Thirty-nine of the 58 rushing attempts against them thus far have resulted in three or fewer yards, including 15 that went for zero or minus yards.
Wide receiver Kevin Curtis practiced for the first time Wednesday
Brian Dawkins is a prideful man. After spending the week listening to people suggest he was washed up, the soon-to-be 35-year-old free safety went out Sunday and turned in a stellar performance in the Eagles' 15-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He notched six tackles, including two for losses, and had a big, big fourth-quarter sack in which he literally flew over a blocker and hit quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He knocked the ball out of Roethlisberger's hands, then recovered the ball. "I don't know what a 34-year-old is supposed to feel like or play like," Dawkins said. "I just know I had to get to Ben. He was scrambling, and I had to make the play. As I got off the (initial) block, the back tried to block me. I pushed him back, saw Ben trying to step up. I knew I had to get to him. The next thing I knew, I was in the air." Of the criticism he received after a poor performance in the Eagles' loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Dawkins said, "I told you guys, I understand how it works. You get a certain age, every play that I'm not making this year from here on out, it's going to be the same way - `he's getting old.' I can't worry about that."
Punter Sav Rocca is off to a Pro Bowl-caliber start. He went into Sunday's game against the Steelers ranked second in the NFC in punting with a 48.7 yard average. Against the Steelers, he put three of his five punts inside the 10-yard line and also nailed a clutch 64-yarder in the fourth quarter to get the Eagles out of a hole.
10.1 - That's Donovan McNabb's average yards per attempt in the first half of the first three games.
And the not-so-bonerific:
In the second half, Donovan has averaged just 4.9.
Please don't bring Curtis back too soon Andy, please. The last thing we need is him to hurt it again and be out for the season. Keep him out until after the damn bye.

That's the play I actually remember seeing Brown in. Another time I saw him cheesin' behind Andy. He has a brohawk now.
Westbrook...playing...anyone?
Definitely maybe.
If you're in the Philly area, turn on the CSN pregame show...they're up at my Uncle's house for his "Eagles Lockerroom"....basically a little slice of Eagles/football heaven. They'll be showing the interview sometime after the commercial I think.

So much for Tommie gettin all zesty with reporters this week telling them "see you on the field Sunday!"
Huge loss. Now Jackson and MJG do not have to worry too much about having their lunch money stolen.

if the past is any indication the next series will feature at least 2 runs, maybe run run run, it should work, we'll drive down the field, then go back to pass pass pass

Olsen is a great athlete and JJ is crazy if he thinks he can cover him with a LB all game.
The Eagles look like a Palin interview so far tonight.
this team has "that" look about them, this is actually a critical juncture of the game where they either snap out of it or lay there and get pounded
That was definitely a TD
Desean Jackson
HOLLY CRAP.........NICE THROW AND CATCH
TOUCHDOWN DESEAN JACKSON!
Great pass from McNabb
yea rook....
they farging answered that quick td...so clutch
Pimp on FIYAH
Jackson looked fast as hellon that end around, and made that TD route look easy.
Great throw from McNabb too.
what a great throw by donovan...the dropped it in between the end line and the linebacker
The way this game is going I might have that bet with havas won by the end of the night
Great throw by McNabb.
Now...how about some defense. No more of that trash.
hell of a pass by mcnabb.
let's get a TE and someone who can cover a TE and it's ON!
Nice touch by McNabb on that one.
Jackson seems to be quickly becoming the go-to receiver.

Hester drags Considine for 5 yards before going down
Dam Orton has a bad stash
LOL, remember John St. Clair. I cant believe he's still in the league.
Looks like the Eagles' "Dallas" defense is playing tonight. :boom
Did Forte just short arm that ball? Or was it overthrown?
Forte was wide open. Gaither wasnt even close.

5 is gonna get killed if reid keeps on calling long pass play after long pass play
I thnk we all have quite a bit of man-love for Jackson now. It's nice to have another true weapon to compliment Westbrook - or to take charge when he can't be in.
McNabbs already been sacked twice by a team that only has a total of 5 sacks in 3 games.
Edit: Never mind.
Rocca punting well. According to GameCenter.
Farg how can those off set
jesus farging christ fix the god damn penalties you fat mother farger!!! god damn jesus christ
explain to me how that offsets? last week or against dallas the same situation came up?
Costly illegal formation there.
Unfargingbelievable. roughing the kicker nixed because the special teams can't farging line up right.
I swear this team gets at least one illegal formation a game. GET ON THE fargING LINE RETARDS.

Between penalties and general suckitude, the Eagles are killing themselves.

Sack. About freaking time.
Klecko has been a nice surprise
lol, pimp confuses everyone and takes the ball at the 5
farg you Reggie Brown
Poor Reggie Brown. He only gets open like three times a game, and he finally gets open and then slips onto his ass.
Dangerous throw
Chris GoCong with the sack
Madden has clearly reached the point in his career where he gets more excited about food than football.
Nice stunts and sack
OMG Gocong made a good play!
Gocong and Howard combine for a sack. Somewhere IGY's head has exploded.
Dio,
The game is being shown on the internet. I think on NFL.com or PhiladelphiaEagles.com.
Reggie fell down on that play because of the grass I think. Looked like he was doing some divot repair after that.
LETS GO O!
ahhhhhh farg!
farg PIMP.. Damn
11 passes 5 runs called. c'mon retard.
Looks like the turf again. They need to change shoes at the half.
Dammit.
I thnk the man-love had ebbed a bit.
Reid will be calling Reno Mahe at halftime.
Jackson always seems to make an impact every time he touches the ball, one way or another.

corner plays 10 yds and covers the outside, saftey plays the defensive flat.

It's a common misconception that DSL is far inferior. The technology is more limited, but cable finds ways to farg it up by playing games with their customers. I get a lot better value (and download speed) from DSL than I did from Time Warner Cable.
HUCKBALTER!

Really all depends on your service area, but unless you're practically right on top of the DSL hub you're going to get a zesty signal, especially if you're far out. Having used both extensively you couldn't pay me to go back to DSL. I don't know how Comcast is for internet service though...
Lito sucks
Is Lito covering anyone this year?
The Defense is Jeykll and Hyde this year.
A huge play by the defense! Put some fear in that Bears O.
Darren Howard INT
Reggie is really benifitting from them doubling down on Desean
Noticed the O is forcing the Bears off slamming the linebackers into the line every play.... but running right into the face of the D line is kinda dumb.
Celek got farged up on that play and it blew up the whole thing
Should gone for it in that part of the field. The Bears usually take over at that part of the field anyway.
Our running game is an embarrassment.
Good to see the real Akers show back up once he has to kick over 40 yards.
Akers.... no more automatic.
Don't kick a 50 yarder there Reid, go for it.
I'm sick of Akers. He's done. Get a new kicker NOW.
Akers sucks.
they really need to look at replacing Ninja man, its time
Yeah over 40 Akers is a liability now... How old is he anyway? Serious question cause I don't know.
Brent Celek and Tony Hunt should be ashamed of their attempted blocks on that dive play.
Both of those bitches got beaten across their faces.
shteinbags.
No run game. Buckhalter has six carries for 4 yards.
He used to be great. He's not anymore. Is he still capable of hitting a 50+ yarder? Yes. Is it a better bet to go for it on 4th and less than 80? Yes.
farg him and his jujitsu bullshtein.
The Bears have 8 in the box all the time, there's no where to run the ball. This is one game they need to stay pass heavy.
Seriously, in Chicago, why kick a 50 yard field goal on 4th and one?
Patterson and Bunkley continue to do a good job inside vs the run.
Everyone calm down, it was a 50 yarder...and yes he was miraculously accurate from that his first couple years here and that spoiled us as fans. Akers has looked better on the shorter and more realistic field goals so far...lets not burn him at the stake for missing a 50 yarder.
Fact is Reid shoulda went for it there.
how the farg is that not holding where gocngs jersey goes the other way

Do I have to put on my raggedy-ass knockoff jersey with no logos on it for them to play better on defense? Because that's what it looks like this season.

This team needs to grow a pair and feel the urgency. Don't want to be facing Washington next week already being the last place team in the NFC East.
I hold little hope for the second half adjustments but they need to fix the D and pronto. The Run D is boss but the pass D keeps giving up yards in HUGE chunks.
This pass defense is farging awful. When they don't get to the QB WRs are open for days.

did you pass six times.........or only five?? Do you feel lucky Andy??
Season's over. Time to move on.

And NBC didn't even go with a replay there so the coaches in the box could tell him to challenge.
Hell, even on the Hester TD it looked questionable. He was in, but we didn't know until NBC showed the correct angle about 7 minutes later.
Reid could have challenged the Forte spot and didn't. Quit whining.
Reid only challenges calls that he knows he can't win.

FF...how can he challenge if there is no way he can see or hear from the coaches upstairs to challenge? No replay.
The refs are sucking, but so is Andy, and so are the Eagles.
And so is NBC.
And so is Phreak's jersey.
phreaks five fo' jersey is rockin'!!
That's right!
Anyways...
Safeties are late to the party tonight; fix it Johnson.
Start running some fire zone/zone dogs and drop a DL or two back into coverage to counter these screens
Maybe try to run Booker to the outside. He'll probably tackle himself in the wind, but why not try it.
TEs need to get involved.
Stop making that AMish farg Orton look like a QB. He's a steaming pile of TRASH.
I would not be surprised to see a bumbled onsides kick here.
Anyone seen Chris Clemons?
Oh good, the teams swapped offensive playcallers for the second half. This should make things interesting.
C'mon Desean
Jackson is idioting-it up tonight.
Idiot Jackson makes another great play.
I think we've seen enough evidence at this point in the season to safely declare Jackson a moron.
Come on Pimp...the farg you doing?!

He caught the ball at the 4 two punts ago and lets a ball bounce at the 21?!

Go Buck!
Woo, Buck showed up to play.
A RB sighting@!
farging pathetic throw
Buck is down too
Ballgame.
And McNabb throws up a gift to celebrate Buck's 4th season-ending knee injury.
Let's count the ways that play sucked.
Mcnabb knows Philly is a city of losers, thanks
That was swell Donovan.
JESUS fargING CHRIST!
buck hurt. mcnabb & the dummy try to figure out who's more stupid.
good times.
:boom
And now Buck's hurt, and Jackson has screwed up twice on the returns.
Paging Reno Mahe... please pick up the white courtesty phone.
Motherfarg!
Jackson zigged when he should have zagged.
And Buck's ass blew up. LIterally. He was grabbing his ass.
LoBo time.
Birds look like a big turd tonight.
Having already conceded this game, I can enjoy the hilarity of this clusterfarg.
The O has too many injuries... With Buck down Lorenzo Booker and Hunt are the only RBs.

This will be the high-water mark of the Bears season. Even with this win they will be lucky to win 7 games.
Amazing!
That works.
Nice make-up Q.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
WAYTO GO Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that the governor calling with a reprieve?
Nice catch there by Mikell...probably saved the game
It's a good thing Jackson doesn't play defense, because you know he would have tried to run that ball out of the endzone.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????
The defense didn't get the memo about this game being over. Friggin' Stewey not relaying messages...
Try not to farg up this time Offense.

Token run to throw them off.
Needs for next week:
1. Ankle transplant for Westbrook.
2. Brain implant for Jackson.
3. ...
Jackson's rattled.
Jackson hasn't looked the same since he fumbled that punt
Can Jackson farg up anymore?
three and out
Another patented McNabb WornburnerTM.
McNabb's choking already.
Jackson put Hester's jersey on for a play?
wow, what a punt and wow what a dumbass
Apparently all talented, fast returners are idiots. Maybe they're savants.
HUGE farg up by Hester. Thanks man
So this is the Devin Hester everyone is so afraid of?
Looks like it's time for T-Hunt to step up.
What?
Wow, Rocca crushed that one.
huge punt by Rocca
Great punt ad great coverage.
And if Al Michaels says "bane of their existence" again, I'm going to murder someone.
It looks like the Bears gameplanned for Westbrook being out. Unfortunately the Eagles didn't.
This team is very odd. No consistency drive to drive, let alone game to game.
The last time the Bears had the ball vs the Eagles on their own 3 they took it 97 yards for a TD in under 2 minutes.
Where has Baskett been? He hasn't even been targeted. I don't remember him on the field much.
Oh man, a safety would really cheer me up.
demi moore is the bane of my existence.
Defense has to dial it up again. If the Eagles win, it will be because of them.
Jackson has got to pull his head out of his icehole.
Nice stop. I kept waiting for the Eagles to do something stupid like a face mask personal foul
Gotta show something on this drive.
Here comes the deep throw to show they're not afraid!
If they don't do something with this field position I'm turning off the game, and am going to be surprised later....
Nothing like forcing the ball into Greggie.
Looks like the screen isn't going to be a great option with the third string RB.
Ugh... One more play and I'm done.
Booker got JACKED UP!
Nice 2nd effort by Celek, still short though.
Quote from: QB Eagles on September 28, 2008, 10:32:47 PM

time for akers to miss another long one.

Why don't you stay for one more play so you can see a missed Akers FG?
Tillman broke his arm/wrist the way it was flopping like jelly
I like the play-by-play on NFL.com
Quote3-13 CHI38 (8:22) (Shotgun) D.McNabb pass short right to B.Celek to CHI 29 for 9 yards (I.Idonije). CHI-C.Tillman was injured during the play. His return is Questionable.
That's quick analysis!
Doink!
YOU fargING SUCK AKERS
terrible decision...both times, andy is a stupid mother farger, that's for sure
Did you stay around for it or not?

"Rocca is doing a fantastic job punting. Let's give the Bears excellent field position by sending Akers out there."
Perhaps Rocca can get FGs too.
NICE
Hello Offense?!? Please.
Gaither one of the few Eagles having a great game.
Oh yeah, another chance for Andy to call the deep pass to show how huge his balls are!
YES!!!
KILLA AND OG!!!!
COME ON OFFENSE SCORE A MOTHERfargING TD!!
Omaaaaaaaar! At least the Defense showed up tonight.
Orton was down. This should be challenged
I went to turn off the video and saw Cole get a sack and to. I'm back in it!! (Until this O series is over... then I'm out.)
Correction, Gaither...
OMG, Booker avoided a tackle
why would you ever turn off a 7 point eagle game?
Quote from: SD_Eagle on September 28, 2008, 10:41:18 PM
Orton was down. This should be challenged
I think so too. He fumbled but got it back with his knee down before fumbling once more. Booker was wide open there.
Is there anyone left with some farging HANDS on this offense?
Avant with a Tecmo Super Bowl-style sitting down catch.
Avant figured out how to catch the worm burner!
run to the spot, sit down, catch worm burner
Avant is master of the seated catch
ha avant was prepared for that wormburner
Avant predicted Donovan's worm burner there. And who said no athletes are smart?
Brent Celek, offensive MVP.
LOL at Celek, people bounce off him
nice spot refs
Why don't they use Tony Hunt? He's just like Buck
Just sneak Donovan here PLEASE. NO HANDOFF TO BOOKER.
Nevermind. First down works too.

QB draw time.
Maybe not, 5 got stepped on. Crap.
.....
wow, farging embarrassment
this series is hilarious. farging eagles
I don't doubt Akers can make a FG from close range. I doubt their ability to keep it from getting blocked.
Terrible.
redzone offense is awesome
Lets see if Akers can make this one
That hit Avant in the stomach. WTF
good to see he can still make the glorified extra points
Akers is money... at least a nickel's worth.
Avant almost had that. Akers gives me no confidence anymore. They'll lose by 4
1st and goal from the 2.....two passes and what looked like a pass on a McNabb trip.
I know you're low on RB's, but put Hunt back there behind Celek or somethnig and RUN THE fargING BALL.
*cue Benny Hill music.
Bring out the face painters, cotton candy, bearded lady and elephants...its CIRCUS time.
JESUS fargING CHRIST!!
Again, defense is going to have to win this.
LETS GO!!
lol, Akers pimp walking away from his tackle...what a douche
WTF is Glew doing on that play, he stops running at the 20. Nice block in the back on that return
Yo Akers, that chinstrap isn't for show.
That sound you hear is fear of the Eagles escaping from the brains of 30 other NFL head coaches. Would be 31 but it has not been established that Scott Linehan has a brain.
Parker with the sack
At least the defense has finally shown up.

While inconsistant at times and letting up the big plays here and there, this defense is making enough plays so far this yaer to be a championship defense. That's if they can keep up with the sacks and turnovers all year.

So should the Eagles actually.
DEFENSE IS ON FIREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Akers shaved his mustache, it's ruined him
One point game, and I still can't get excited about it. Farg Andy and his shtein-ass playcalling.
This offense is like watching retards fight.
Good grief.
So yeah, how about NOT KICKING IT TO HESTER THIS TIME RORY, you farg.
It's up to the defense to give the Eagles the ball within Akers FG range again.

Damn, if only they could have prepared somehow for screen passes.
Nice play recognition Sheldon. :boo
Aaaand the defense is done.
If Orton was worth a shtein that would have been a roughing the passer
Good thing Orton is stupid. Whew!
How was that not intentional grounding?
That's what a FG kicker making a 40+ yard kick looks like?!? It's been so long I think I've forgotten.
so that's what a field goal over 40 yards looks like
Well...now the Eagles need a TD.
A lot to ask for.
Maybe Demps can take one to the crib.
Shoulda been a 51 yarder. That ball didn't make it to the line of scrimmage at all.
These refs suck.
That was roughing on Gocong.
Missed holdings.
Intentional grounding should have been called too.

Bukkake with a nice run
DMac might be the best NFL QB of all-time at throwing those passes 3-4 yards short of the first-down marker.

The Bears are really keeping an eye on Jackson
Quote from: General_Failure on September 28, 2008, 11:18:16 PM

I'm not sure how much I like them using Hunt for something other than his natural talent, blocking.
Baskett catch...get it....Baskett catch!
The Bears D is worn down. C'mon, no fargups here.
Is the Bears D really this dumb to bite on the fake end around every time?
Jackson might be a dope but having him fake that end around has the Bears on their heels every time. Keep doing it.

I don't get it.
I forget, what do they call it when a team gets the ball across the goal line?
What was that really short pass on 1st and goal... it almost looked like McNabb just handed it to him...
Where the farg is Donovan QB sneak?
Pound it two more times. Gotta get in there.
me no have good feelings about this
Psst, Buck! You're not Westbrook.
GO FOR IT.
McNabb is a big dude....just sneak it.
you gotta go for it here
They have to go for it here
I'm scared
OK so you have 2nd and goal at the 1? Donovan can get 1 yard on 3 plays QB sneaking. ITS NOT fargING COmPLICATED
Even if they don't get it, there's decent odds of the Bears offense farging up bad pushed that far back.
Hold me. I'm scurred.
Dont pull a Kotite and call a TO and the kick a FG.
THEY HAVE TO PUNCH THIS IN.
No rollout passes. That limits the options. RUN THE BALL for a goddamn two inches.
they were on the 2 yard line, why are people calling for a sneak? you don't sneak from the farging 2
Stopped. Game over.
lol, nice call fatass
Unfargingbelievable
wow, pure genius
farg me, nice call
Are they serious?
Goddamn.
GODDAMMIT!
Die andy. Die.
All the proof Andy needs to keep calling passes on the goal line for the rest of his career.
WTF was *Shoebel not Celek doing on that "block"?
farging Schoebel totally farged that play...he didn't even try to make a block. what a farging bitch
That stop was Schoebels fault, he didn't even touch his guy. Worthless piece of shtein.
Quote from: SunMo on September 28, 2008, 11:25:29 PM

you don't sneak from the 2 yard line dummy...end of story

Between him and Celek and Booker's blocking earlier they all should be thrown out of the plane.
He probably figured that the DE could crash down all he wanted and they would still score.
WRONG!
Motherfarging iceholes. Goddamn.
COME ON DEFENSE>
Need a stop and a Jackson PR.
I didn't really have any problem with the play calls, but farg Schoebel and the O-line for not getting the push. zesty execution of a basic NFL play.
They were on the 1 and a half on second down. 3 plays. I guarantee he gets that. Regardless, he should have farging done it on 4th.
pathetic...game over
WE fargOISDNPJUGPOIDSUFSAPF SUCK
Defense comes up really small on a key third down. Eagles going to lose.
3 missed tackles
Nice tackle Klecko.
Absolute garbage.
farg the offense.
This defense is the perfect complement for this offense. Holding on just long enough to crush your hopes and dreams when the offense is struggling, and a revolving door when the offense is clicking.

Yes, the plays they called worked out much better.
You guys still watching??
Also, small things like this get overlooked: the Eagles took a TO after the first down. Depending on how quickly the refs spot the ball, the Bears may have had to run another play before the 2 minute warning. 2 minute warning stops the clock. They save a timeout.

That replay just makes me want to lynch Schoebel. He needs to be cut tomorrow. Thats an easy TD.
17 seconds, and 60 yards to go. Can you feel the excitement?!
this is where Mcnabb shines
All Michaels calculated that the Eagles offense would get the ball back with around 1:10 left if they could prevent the first down. They prevented the FD and got :17.
Good job, Reggie!
oh well, at least donovan has a smile on his face
That was a fitting end. Thanks, Reggie.
2-2. Last place in the NFC East. All of a sudden this team's prospects seem much dimmer.

How long until Curtis comes back?

20 points without Westbrook...meh.
I got that part of my scoring prediction right. Unfortunetaly the Bears score was way off.
Inexcusable loss.
Simply inexcusable.
That 4th down stop was farging pathetic.
Quote from: rjs246 on September 28, 2008, 11:41:33 PM
Akers is a farging disgrace.
It seems like every team has a kicker that can make it over 50 EXCEPT the Eagles now. Akers two misses are huge for field position alone. ST lost that game more than the O or the D not that the O helped that much. Only a figgie in the second half should have been enough.
Quote from: QB Eagles on September 28, 2008, 11:40:08 PM
All Michaels calculated that the Eagles offense would get the ball back with around 1:10 left if they could prevent the first down. They prevented the FD and got :17.
WTF? How did he come up with that? Well in his defense, he is an idiot.
Love his "drama filled contest" comment. :-D
Just a reminder that those of us in the Reggie Brown Haters Club are accepting applications.

Kyle farging Orton :-D
Seriously every year it's the same shtein with this team. Now they're decimated with injuries in a top notch NFC East and have to play Washington who's flying high after beating the crap out of Dallas (physically). What the hell happened to the O after the first half?
Sink the Scho-boat!

Thank you, a.....thank you.
That's two games they had won and offensive ineptitude threw it away. Awesome.
Schobel is farging worthless to this team. He's soft as shtein evidenced by him dropping the pass deep in the red zone after the hit.
Get him the farg off this team.
Should be 4-0.
Now 2-2 and face Washington who is coming off a big win.
I'm gonna go ahead and try to make an excuse....chances they win this game with Westbrook?
Too much pressure on a cocky kid. Hello, Rookie?
I just had a flashback, does anyone else remember that 7 play series at the SF goalline a few years back? Ahh... memories. You'd think they'd learn how to run a 1-yard dive after all this time.

Only if all the passes went to him. Nobody else out there could catch a cold.
One thing that pisses me off more than ANYTHING is points left on the farging field.
Akers - 2 farging missed FGs.
Avant - dropped the TD on the slant in the end zone
Schobel - completely uninterested in blocking Alex Brown at the goal line.
There's ALWAYS shtein like this with this team in a close loss. ALWAYS.

Matt Schobel should be cut right there on the field.
Have Butchie Buchanico go up and make him take his uniform off right there. Make his naked ass walk off the field.

Naw, Even with his numbskull plays they still had the game won. They can't run a straight ahead dive and giving the Bears the ball at midfield all game did them in. When they (Da' Bears) weren't starting at the 40 or 50 they did shtein.

thanks for the memories.
Apparently Andy just said that McNabb was too sore to run the sneak.
Are you serious?!?

David Akers is without question in the lower half of kickers now, and it's arguable that he's much lower than that. What kickers are free agents next year? Maybe Shayne Graham wants to play for a team that has an outside shot of being relevant within the next decade.

Seriously? Wow that's weak. C'mon Lurie enough of this madness. If he's too sore to sneak put Kolb in there. Unless they win the Su... Super... Sup.... ( :-D ) nope, can't even say it... Unless the Eagles are the last team standing at the end of the year McNabb needs to see his last season in midnight green. And get Akers off that damn graphic at the bottom of the page... loser.
Maybe a QB draw there too. It's one farging yard and McNabb is the biggest dude you got. Sore chest or not, it's to fargING WIN THE GAME.
Bradley and Gaither were playmakers. I guess Dorenbos did alright too. Just about everyone else made mistakes that contributed to the loss. The defensive backs showed up to the game too late. The offense was out of rhythm, and that starts with the pedestrian performance by McNabb. At times the futility reminded me of of the Mike McMahon era. Players like Booker were being asked to play way beyond their ability.

A farging tease, that's all they are. They drew me in with the offensive output against a high school team, and Dallas. The defensive effort against Pitt made me believe. But they're an 8-8 team, AGAIN, with no shot at a SB win, which I knew starting the season, and now know again. Great. Someone has to farging die, a slow painful death. Prefereably me.

agreed, somewhat.
Without Westbrook they are a 6-10 to 8-8 team.
With westbrook they can go anywhere from 8-8 to 12-4. I'm still betting on 10-6 this year....which, with the way this division is playing right now, won't be enough to make the playoffs.

According to Coach SunMo, you don't sneak when all you need is a yard and a half and you have one of the strongest QB's in the league.
On your own side of the 40 I wouldn't either. Iggs 45 to the opposing goalline a silent count sneak is the way to go. In fact, that should have been the very 1st play they called at the goalline. Don't even give them time to look at anything when the eagles get up there. Just get to the line, goose the center and plow the farg forward. Basic play calling.
observations:
booker is garbage. whether receiving, rushing, or blitz pickup...he sucks.
red zone offense is still terrible. sure not having andrews, smith, and westbrook hurts but you have to be able to score when you get that many TURNOVERS and esp when you have four chances from 1 yard out.
akers is done. unlike dawkins who can still be called on to make a play or two akers is completely worthless outside of the 40. in a game where the offense is struggling and the defense is providing field position you need your "ace" kicker to come through. he cant.
mcnabb has only one weapon on offense outside of westbrook and while thats 1 more than last yr....this weapon is a work in progress. desean pretty much cost them the game while also keeping them in the game.
on the last goaline series....i don't even know where to start. not one stretch play, one off tackle, one toss, one play action when the eagles go play action 90% of the time otherwise, not one bootleg, or qb sneak? WTF REID?
eagles overall seemed like they could sleep walk through this game and beat the bears. the bears scored under 2 min to start off the game. the eagles just seemed like they didn't care or think the bears could do anything. and what was the offensive gameplan without westbrook? just throw more?
the LBs are good against the run but terrible in pass defense. this is the 2nd or 3rd time this season where a RB or TE has just run by one of the LBs.

D'oh, that's right. But yeah there wasn't enough proof to challenge and they needed to keep those timeouts just in case. But a better string of play calls and it's a moot point. Thanks Andy!

I agree with all of this except for the Rook. Not because I'm an apologist because he's a farging moron right now, but because his plays washed out. The zesty D lost the first half and the zesty O the second half and the ST (mainly Akers) lost the win.
This team needs better coaching. ST is still a liability... again. The kickoff coverage team sucks ass.
anyone notice the farging playcalling again?
where's the slants? where's the short hooks?
time after time mcnabb is peeled off the ground, watching the replay all wr's run straight for 5-7 yards (or longer) then break. the only time he did the dink and dunk shtein was when they drove the ball all the way down the field starting at the 10 min mark in the 4th quarter. then our redzone offense choked, but where the farg was that playcalling when it was obvious the "hail mary" WCO wasn't working?

I'm sitting at home and knew that Akers would miss both of those FGs, how does Reid not know? My guess: Reid has trust in Akers from years past, and whatever number Akers tells Reid before the game is the number Reid figures Akers can make.
Things are pretty bad when fans start getting bad feelings in the first quarter of a tie game.

Any game that has the Eagles going behind after the opening kickoff is destined to end badly with this team of late. They're just too soft anymore.
How can they not move forward 1 yard... again.
Even though they didn't have Westbrook, one play I would have liked to have seen down at the one is the fake handoff to the FB up the middle and counter pitch to the HB. Buck is fast enough to outrun most players to the pylon there.

i have to agree with this. they get the occasional deep ball or pass play over 20+ yds but they dont have the WRs to consistently do that. the dink and dunk works. you cant just go to it at the last minute though because it does eat up the clock. if you do that all game you keep their offense off the field and keep marching down the field.
and did i mention how much REGGIE BROWN SUCKS? he makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. i dont even think chicago realized that he was back or that the starting WR for the eagles was back from a injury.
and this is going to sound real bad but i was looking for baskett all game. WHERE WERE THE PASSES TO HIM?

anything might have worked. but running up the middle 4 times in a row? when its obvious your line is not getting the push you need?
its like reid was running out of plays...even running the shovel pass to avant. they dont have other plays so they have to substitute other plays for those same plays.
i was looking for a WR screen all game. just like the reverses to desean jackson....those famous PINKSTON 1 YD screen passes could have worked.
In hindsight it's easy to come up with other plays the Eagles should have tried down at the goal line, but the fact of the matter is the plays as they were called would have resulted in a touchdown if they had been executed properly. Each of those plays failed on multiple fronts, and while Andy deserves blame, he's not the only one who should be eating a shtein sandwich over what happened down there.

That's the problem. Reid should have taken note of the fact that earlier in the game Buckhalter couldn't run straight into the heart of the Bears D and get a yard, why think it'd be different now. They could have spread the formation out a bit and blast buck inside with a Klecko/Hunt lead to clear a small lane... bah this is futile, nothing will change with Reid in charge.
Akers w/ DGunn, blaming the wind for his misses. Whatever. I don't trust him to make anything over 40....
Akers farging sucks at the Meadowlands, too. If he can't kick in wind he can get his jesus loving ass back to the farm.

Zero confidence in his either. He's cooked.

farg andy reid the football version of charlie manuel who called one of the worst football games ive ever watched
hank farging baskett can not get open in the nfl
last place eagles
Imagining the Bears not scoring was not hard to do. Did ya see their offense in the second half against the defense?
Not that it makes it any better, but they are atrocious. Which makes this loss horrible.

Yes.
That said, the Eagles had three red zone opportunities in the second half and came away with 6 total points. That's the ball game.
the team just isnt very good
they are who their record says they are
shteinhead couldn't be bothered to throw a challenge flag either, just wobbled in place with dumb smirk on his face. Game was a vintage reminder: if were not blowing someone out no in-game adjustments will be made. AR will be consistently be out coached.

Getting up at 5 am sucks when you are up past midnight watching that trainwreck of a game.
Try getting up at 3am. Especially when you were too pissed to fall asleep for at least an hour after watching that garbage.
Try getting up at 3am to watch that piece of crap.
You know what the real joke will be?
Watching this team try to keep this same style of offense once Westbrook starts to decline. It's so farging night and day when he's not in there doing what he does... EVERYTHING completely revolves around his abilities to run, catch, block, decoy... whatever. They look lost out there when he's not playing.
We all know Andy ain't gonna change a damn thing either... as he's been trying everyone from Moats to Booker to find a Westrbook style player, only they ain't close to Westbrook.
When Westbrook is no longer able to give them what he does... this team is going in the shteinter... fast.
spot on...but i dont even think andy trys to get anyone in particular...moats booker westbrook are all the same to him...he honestly thinks his system is fool proof and that the players who get put in it are irrelevant...
i love the pimp more than i love myself but its an abosulte disgrace that hes the best wr on this team...and andy just doesnt care
might i add how big of a farging Hoyda McHeart-throb is? what farging supposed elite qb allows that kind of playcalling to go down? brady, manning, homo, theyd all farging audible that shtein and put a 4th and 1 late in the game in their hands, not a farging dive to the right side to correll stupid farging buckhalter AGAIN after it didnt work the first 2 times. what a fat dumb moron and what a Hoyda little farging qb who sucks on andys nuts. he is such a girl.
he not a clutch qb by any means but yesterday was all on the head coach
2 players who I would have cut this morning:
Booker
Schobel
Akers I keep unless there's somebody else out there but I don't keep track of kickers so I have no clue

oh no doubt but youd like to figure a qb in his 9th year would have the farging balls to call his own play in that spot when andys playcalling was that brutal. hes just a little bitch who does what andy says, like his puppet or something.
Why does the secondary suck?
Damn - rough game, but there's a lot of hate flowing here. My thoughts:
- McNabb was pretty good, there were way too many dropped balls
- I don't fault Jackson the muffed punt because he was sliding on the turf. The field was a mess.
- Akers is still reliable, but they need to realize his range has come way down.
- Who the farg calls an "over the pile" dive when they are 2 yards out? And then doesn't call it when they are 1 yard out?
- Since when does a procedure call (5 yd) offset a personal foul (15 yd)? I specifically remember the opposite being true.
- Andy needs to pull the challenge flag. How do you not even take a look when the game hinges on the call?
- I feel like McNabb doesn't do well on the quick hitches because he throws the ball too damn hard. I think Andy started calling them in the 4th to slow down the rush, but the balls kept bouncing off players. When will he get it through his thick skull that he needs to stick with what works?
Disappointing, but not disasterous.

That is pretty much the case, It won't be easy especially if Westbrook isn't available.

This really pissed me off, since the eagles got burned by that same scenerio last week
a paralyzed boldin is still > everyone else 'cept jackson.
the running right through the middle of our d was embarrassing. why do we have 2 guys in the A gap? bc bunk and patterson can't create pressure or hold the line from the inside out. jesus farging christ. what's it like to get pressure from the inside out without lining up all your lb's over center??
you know it hurts even more because it was the perfect opportunity to at least tie the cowboys with a 3-1 record.
cowboys have 3 bad teams in a row coming up. unlike the eagles they will take care of business and beat them.
eagles on the other hand might somehow beat the skins and then go lose to the niners after the bye.
yesterday was the perfect example of this team and this coach thinking way to much of themselves and trying to just win the game by showing up.
i still cant get it...how can you not try at least one play action or bootleg down at the goaline?
and cerevant spot on observation...dive from 2 yds out but no dive from 1 yd out?
Andy Reid needs to go...enough of this bullshtein. While our star players get older and older...nothing changes....the division is moving on and the Eagles chances are very very slim with Fat farg as the coach. He's the next Mike Martz. How he fails to grasp even the most fundamental aspects of football...it just drives me crazy. He's so into his "system" that he can't and won't adjust to anything the other team is doing. The Bears had a hell of a game plan..and they executed it and they won a game in which we should of had 13 more points on the board. Another man that they can fire is Akers. He is done
from philly.com
QuoteEagles' loss squarely on Andy Reid The Philadelphia Eagles lost a football game Sunday night to a quarterback who threw for 17 net yards in the second half, and who looked like he needed a change of underwear every time the rush closed in. Yes, they are singing Kyle Orton's praises along the shoreline of Lake Michigan this morning, because the Bears somehow won. Their four turnovers — two picks and two Orton fumbles — cost them a couple of piddling field goals. The Eagles turned the ball over twice, once leading to a touchdown. Advantage, Chicago, 7-6. Reid is the man who kept sending David Akers out to try to make 47- and 50-yard field goals, in a place they call the Windy City, even though it's been a few years since Akers consistently converted from such distances. He is the man who didn't want to run a quarterback sneak because of Donovan McNabb's contused chest, even though McNabb said afterward he would have done whatever was necessary to win, and even though it is hard to recall the last time McNabb got stuffed on a sneak. McNabb weighs 240 pounds and has the shoulders of a fullback. He can take the ball from Jamaal Jackson and lean forward to substantial effect, before the defensive line gets penetration. Reid is the man who called four successive inside runs down at the goalline against a Bears defense that entered the day fourth against the run and 28th against the pass. Reid, the most pass-happy coach in Eagles history, watched McNabb go 4 for-4 on the drive that ended with Correll Buckhalter getting stopped short of the goalline on third and fourth down. (Buck barely functional, by the way, after getting kicked in the back making a tackle on the pick, which happened when DeSean Jackson broke off his route prematurely and went the opposite way from where McNabb thought he was going.) Reid did not call a pass, or even have McNabb roll out, on any of the four downs the Birds got following Tony Hunt's first-down catch at the 4. It was Reid who never threw the challenge flag, though there were key refereeing decisions that should have been challenged. This debacle was all about Reid. McNabb was fine, especially for a guy with a bruised chest. The Eagles outgained the Bears, 340 net yards to 256. But they converted just 2 of 13 third downs, which is what happens when you don't have the weapons to get it done when the going is tough. And when your playcalling is all over the place.

as accurate as that article is...none of it matters unfortunately. all the press in philly could mimic that same article and to LURIE it doesn't matter. remember this is the year they are going for it all.
to me they needed to be 4-1 or better going into the bye week to be a playoff team in this division.

QuoteI really enjoy your column! My question concerns offsetting penalties. Specifically which types of penalties offset each other? I've seen several instances this year where a 5-yard penalty (e.g. offsides) and a 10-yard penalty (e.g. offensive holding) offset. Do any two penalties that are not personal fouls offset? Thanks in advance for clearing up my confusion! -- Jason Y., Chicago
When both teams foul during a play, the penalties will generally offset and the down replayed at the previous line of scrimmage. Under NFL rules, if one of the penalties is a 5-yard penalty and the other is a 15-yard penalty, the 5-yard penalty is declined by rule and the 15-yard penalty is enforced from the previous line of scrimmage no matter where the ball wound up at the end of the play. The only exception to this five/fifteen rule is when there is a possession change during the down. Under this situation, the penalties would offset

It's been so since Reid came on board. It's time for Lurie to realize Reid's hit his ceiling as far as coaching ability goes and that he can't/won't get any better.
Next week's game isn't make or break but it's pretty damn close.
I am so sick of seeing guys like Witten, Cooley and even Boss (recently) continue to make big catch after big catch and actualy contribute while this asinine FO can't find a TE if their life depended on it. Of course LJ would have been the difference had he played ::) I like "Tom" Celeck but he is not the long term answer.
the whole should be greater than the sum of it's parts. w/ the talent on this team, we should be better, esp. in areas like mother farging penalties and playcalling.
farg seacrest, farg reid, farg marty, farg jj, farg greg lews, farg lj, farg banner, farg lurie....farg'm all!
play calling, management and penalties are like coaching 101. 3 major misses from reid. his play calling is just horrid. it's just so much basic stuff he doesn't do and constantly tries to fit a round peg in a square hole and it doesn't. farging. work.

te's might also get open a little more if they were surrounded by a legitimate wr corps
^ there is also that.
Pretty bad when a rookie is by far your best WR.
Jesus Christ, everyone stop bitching about the WRs or the LBs or whatever.
This game was lost for two reasons.
Andy Reid's playcalling, and a lack of Brian Westbrook.
The WRs are not as bad as we thought, especially with the addition of Jackson, and ESPECIALLY when Westbrook is in the game. There's a reason why the WR's look a lot better when Westbrook is playing.
When you don't have a Westbrook, you just aren't as good of a team. Period. Ask the Chargers. or the Vikings last year. Or the Patriots. Or the Colts with a Peyton Manning still trying to get healthy.
When you lose "that guy" on your team, it doesn't really matter how good the surrounding players are. It doesn't matter if the WR's are Desean Jackson and Reggie BRown or Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. You need that special player to be there and be healthy, or the dynamics of the team totally changes and you find winning games a lot harder.
And then on top of that you have an idiot head coach who thinks running the same play 4 times in a row is a great idea...well, you're probably not going to win the game.
Oh, and you can probably sprinkle some hate blame on Akers for having a big leg but exactly zero accuracy past 40 yards.
What's Up All....
The loss yesterday will sum up everything this Eagles organization will ever try to do with AR in charge. If it's not McNabb choking at the end of the game, it's AR and his dumb ass playcalling farging it up. There is a lot of blame to go around for this one, from the defense making Kyle Orton look like Tom Brady Jr in the first half, to Free Pass Schobel and David HeartAker fargin up, and everyone else who couldn't man up and beat the farging Chicago Bears. Right now, I just wish someone in the Eagles organization would go to the media and start calling fat AR and his stupid ass playcalling out. Disrupt team unity or something...
fargin Tom Coughlin was on the fargin verge of having everything get jacked up in NY. The players hated him, hated his system, the fans wanted him fired, and the Giants organization was ready to ship his ass to the western part of the US. It seemed every week somebody on the Giants was calling him out; their team was in chaos, but ours was in realtive BYU harmony and as an Eagles fan, I loved that shtein. But what does Coughlin do? He starts listening to his players, changes his ways, the Giants start to mold and grow stronger and end up winning the farging Super Bowl. Unreal.
It's easy for AR to blame the loss on himself, cause at the end of the day he doesn't have to answer to nobody. But refusing to run a QB sneak when McNabb told him he was willing to do it and his chest felt fine is fargin ridiculous. For 9 year NFL Pro Bowl QB McNabb not to have the balls to audible a stupid ass call that hasn't worked all game is fargin ridiculous. There is no excuse for a team with the players that the Eagles have to be losing to the Bears, with or without Westbrook.....
It's high time for a profile player like McNabb, Dawkins, Trent Cole or somebody to just say farg it, and start blastin shtein in the media about the dumb ass playcalling, the piss-poor clock management, the heart of some of the players on this team, and the lackadaisical attitude to win and dominate games that we are supposed to win. I know a lot of people may disagree with me, but think about it....
WHAT THE farg DO THE EAGLES GOT TO LOSE?
The sad part is, many of us saw these problems coming in the offseason. If the god damn fans can foresee these issues, why can't the front office?
the eagles have 8-9 win talent...the problem is a lot of the fans get hoodwinked by the organizations overblown sense of self and start to think the team is way better than it is...see the bears prediction thread for a good example of this...i mean there were people in there that thought it was just unfathomable that they could lose to a team as crappy as the bears...like the eagles are some sort of juggernaut that can just prace into another teams stadium and have no chance of losing
Kyle Orton? Kyle friggen' Orton??
I'm so goddamn sick of seeing this team play up to good teams and then shtein the goddamn bed against teams they should beat that I could smack the moustache off of Andy Reids smug farging face. I don't care if Westbrook was playing or not. I don't care if Andrews was playing or not. They shouldn't have needed either to beat the goddamn Bears, for christsakes. Andy Reid needs to take a good look at himself, if that fat farg can find a mirror big enough.
Farging Jim Harbaugh and the goddamn taterskins beat the Cowboys, and the Andy Reid led Eagles lose to the motherfarging Bears. Jim farging Harbaugh. With friggen' Jason Campbell at qb. Why?? Because he also has Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, and Clinton Portis. The Eagles have Reggie the wasted draft pick Brown, Greg ebonic speaking Lewis, Hank the invisible Baskett, and DeSean to cool to know he's stupid Jackson.
What the hell happened to the secondary I thought was soooo damn good?? They got toasted by motherfarging Kyle never heard of him Orton. Holy farging shtein.
I can't take much more of this crap. If this team doesn't beat the friggen' taterskins, they should all jump off the Ben Franklin Bridge.

The Eagles have plenty of talent. Talent isn't the issue at all, boys and girls. Reid is just a zesty game day coach who never makes adjustments when they're needed. He's great when things are clicking, though. Problem is whenever there's a coach with superior game day skills facing him, he inevitable gets killed by them.

Bullshtein. Go ahead and blow your friggen' horn. If anyones getting hoodwinked then you must have had your moment when you picked the Eagles to beat the Cowboys. Then you picked them to lose to the Steelers. And you had the Bears scoring 10 pts. when they scored 24, so if people are hoodwinked your right there with us.
If Bwest had been in the game, I have to believe he would have gotten' into the end zone on that goal line stand. But the point is, the Eagles shouldn't have even needed him, and If Reid were any kind of game day coach, they wouldn't have.

That's only because he doesn't like running up the score.
The Eagles' problems go deeper than just this Bears game. It is nerve-wracking going into every single game every week knowing that if just one player goes down you are farged. Especially when that player is a RB. It is different with players like Brady and Manning who don't take a pounding 25-30 times a game.
The Eagles were lacking a few key players yesterday obviously. But the team shouldn't be in a position to put so much of the load on one damn player. Imagine making the playoffs, and Westbrook spraining his ankle and not being able to go. We'd be farged. You can't survive in the long haul built this way.

no one on this board claimed them to be anything more. what is it with your need to blow yourself after every loss? as if your the only who can see that this team is not up there with the elite or going to win the big one this season?
everyone knows this. but to lose to the bears is disappointing when the team played well against the cowboys and then beat the steelers. i dont care if its a 8 win team...you should be able to beat the bears when ORTON gives you the game 2-3 times. when you have 4 chances from about 2 yards out. it has nothing to do with fans expectations your magical ability to see the future.
the eagles are 20% football team, 80% business. it's sad, it really is. your coach is making such simple mistakes and costing them to win and the owner does nothing. how many more years is this going to go on. oh btw...mcnabb, dawkins and the rest of our aging star players careers will be over and our best chance at a super bowl gone with them. what a complete waste. :boo :boo
It would also be much less annoying if you were just as bombastic when you were wrong, too.
its not about being right or wrong...in fact i was wrong because i thought the eagles would win...its about the homers coming back down to earth
igy = homer killa
Chicago did nothing to win that game. The Eagles flat out handed it to them and Reid was the main culprit in the gift giving.
I certainly underestimated the importance of Brian Westbrook for this game. Really this team needs him to win period, there are very few teams this team can beat without him. The fact of the matter is this is a pretty good football team, they just lack a coach with the ability to make adjustments when the game is on the line. With the way the NFL is today that is just as important as talent.

Yeah, your a legend in your own mind.
Homers coming back down to earth? Gimme' a break. This team played the Cowboys down to the wire
in Dallas and lost only because of a botched handoff. They flat out whipped the Steelers like a red headed step child. The main reason they lost is not because they are a bad team or a team that is not as good as most here think, it was because
their coach didn't have them ready to play and his gameplan and coaching sucked major donkey dick!! But go ahead and toot your horn. If it's the way you get some sort of satisfaction from an Eagles loss, go for it. Your like Forrest Gump in the army, a goddamn genius.

Chicago did nothing to win that game. The Eagles flat out handed it to them and Reid was the main culprit in the gift giving.
^^Exactly.^^

I certainly underestimated the importance of Brian Westbrook for this game. Really this team needs him to win period, there are very few teams this team can beat without him. The fact of the matter is this is a pretty good football team, they just lack a coach with the ability to make adjustments when the game is on the line. With the way the NFL is today that is just as important as talent.
no i refuse to believe this. they have a good enough O line, good enough D, and a good enough QB.
for a game against the bears you should be able to win without westbrook as long as you game plan around the fact he is not there.
I'm still amazed that, off a time out, the best option they had to punch it in to the end zone was trying Buckhalter up the middle. Again.
farging Andy.

esp when mcnabb was making pretty good reads on that drive even utilizing hunt out of the backfield. i think he was perfect on that drive no?
No Westbrook, no Andrews, no Curtis & no L.J. are the reasons the offense shtein the bed last night. Westbrook was a huge loss, yes, but no more so than Andrews.
The offense has shown that they don't need any of those guys to score points. They need the guys that are there to block and catch. McNabb wasn't exactly taking coverage sacks all night.
Eagles with a healthy Brian Westbrook = playoff caliber team. Without him, they're in 9-7 territory again. That's just how I see it, anyway.

wait a second in the prediction thread they would have no problem beating the bears with or without westbrook...people calling for shutouts and trying to make up ways the bears could score and not even being able to do that...now after the fact westbrook is the entire team?
the vaunted defense gave up three 20+ yard touchdown passes to kyle friggin orton...that was a much bigger factor than no westbrook...true not as big a factor as the complete meltdown and failure to adjust by the head coach but still...its big time revisionist history to all of sudden say westbrook being out is why they lost
btw for the most part wesbrooks been healthy for the last four years...and the team is .500 in that time...like dennis green said the eagles are who we think they are
It pains me to agree with VIGY on this (to a point). I've abandoned predictions because I'm not following the rest of the league well enough to know how well the other teams are doing. Still, if one can't see that the Eagles pass D absolutely sucks, you are clueless.
The offense is the same as it always has been - it can put up about 20+ point on just about anyone. Andy has one strategy: get an early lead and hang on for dear life. If that doesn't work, their chances drop below 50-50. It all relies on the Defense keeping the opponent under 17. This defense cannot do that.
People will revel in the Eagles great run D, but they will continue to put up good numbers as long as the pass D is so bad.
The Eagles offense is very good, at least for 3 quarters. Once Andy starts tightening up (and probably taking over play calling) things go in the crapper. With Westbrook they go from good to top tier. I think 10 wins is quite plausible, but this D isn't going to do this offense justice, preventing them from doing more.

I said I underestimated the importance of Westbrook for the game. I also said without him they would have a tough time beating anybody, while that is a little bit of an overstatement, they definitely need him to go anywhere.
The reason they are .500 over the last four years has to do with the quarterback issues, not the running back. We can sit here and bring up all kinds of reasons why they lost or whatever. Bottom line is this, this team is not going anywhere if he is not on the field. I certainly don't see how that is revisionist history. I still think if he was in there despite all the other factors they would have won that game. Maybe I am wrong. At least I am not a know it all blowhard.
Yes you are.
:-D

so westbrook is ultra important but the qb is why they have been .500 for the last four years?
so either westbrook isnt as important as you say or mcnabb is the key to the offense not westbrook...you cant say the team is great when westbrook plays then say they are a .500 team when he plays because of the qb
the bottom line is even with westbrook they arent a great team...they are a .500 ish squad with or without the great brian westbrook...and he IS great

Statisically top 10 D, #1 Run D. Top 10 Offense. Sucky Coach and zesty plays at bad times is why there are where they are
I think the players were good enough to win without Westbrook. The game plan and in-game adjustments sucked major ass.
theres still a generous amount of hope that they can reel off a 5-6 game win streak...but you better win sunday...really sunday is the key to the season...
not only does it get them right back in the division mix by giving you a two game swing against a division foe but you have a pathetically easy schedule after the taterskin game thru almost thanksgiving
I agree completely.
It's been 37 hours and I still can't believe that they lost. I farging hate Andy Reid.
i was incredulous at the time but for some reason the bears game hasnt stuck with me like the cowboy game still is...i wont get over that one for a long time
I chalked the Cowboys game up to the better team winning. This game was a farging shtein show and the more talented team definitely did not win. But the better coach won, without question.
the thing is they had the chance to win both games, and came up short one from a zesty handoff, the other from Andy Reids dumbass calls and general waterheadedness
because im not here immediately after games i would like to put in a request that someone on the board starts a (fill in opponents name) post game thread each week
that way i dont have to scroll back thru a 1000 page game thread to see where the post game talk begins
thank you
This game was worse than the Cowboys game for me, even though I completely hate the Cowboys I could deal with that loss. For the most part that was just a good game. This game was straight up handed to them and they couldn't capitalize.
As far as the Westbrook/McNabb thing yeah ultimately the QB is the key to the offense. Westbrook is just the most important weapon. When he is not out there who is there go to guy? There isn't one.
It sure as farg isn't LoBo.
or how about you need both mcnabb and westbrook healthy at the same time to be decent on offense?
if reid continues to shove his stupid ass philosophy down our throats for the next year or three, we need to get at LEAST 1 more (jackson could pimp it, but looked what happened to reggie his 3rd year..) stud wr. then all the other retard moments will be overshadowed (stopping the run when we need to, covering a TE when we need to, making the other team pass and play catch up, penalties, etc)
boldin/williams - curtis - jackson
then he can have his stupid ass playcalling and the d not being able to nut up when they need to and still win.
The funny part is that all Reid had to do was follow his philosophy (PASS) to get into the end zone in the second half on Sunday night. And he couldn't even do that.
in his defense theres been times where people killed him for just not running the ball in...well he finally tried that and people are still pissed
i agree a happy medium would be best but i cant kill him for running it four straight times down there...its on the players for not being able to pick up a friggin yard
I agree completely. 4 straight failed runs is 100% on the players. Those were the right calls and if you can't get in the endzone from the 1 you don't deserve to win. It was the rest of the game where Reid completely shtein on himself. Again.
Well, they would have won the game if they got in there, so if you agree with the calls, the loss is on the players and not on Reid.
That one play is an easy one to point to but there were many plays throughout the game that could have put them in a better position to win. The players failed on that series of plays. Reid failed numerous time throughout. Reid is at fault dammit.
reid called an atrocious game thruout...it never should have come to that point
the most infuriating calls being the numerous times (i think i counted four or five) where they would rip off a nice run...and the very next play reid has them in a shotgun
opening series three straight passes...why dont you run the ball once in there somewhere idiot...get your line into the game...give them a feel of knocking some people around instead of right out of the gate back peddling against speed rushers
not challenging the spot was huge mistake as well...especially with three or four of your own players yelling at you to throw the flag
i immediately went off at the tv when i sww the ref place the ball how could reid not see this or at least trust his players
So, they would have won by 10+ if Reid had called better, would have won by 3 if the players could execute better, and would have won 80-0 if both happened at the same time?
errrrr....yeah...ummmm....ahhh...sure
This team needs a healthy Westbrook & McNabb or it's going nowhere. Westbrook makes other players get more oppurtunities. McNabb gets the ball there. They don't wanna run Kolb or Mr. McFeeley out there anytime soon.
Reids a lost cause they might win in spite of him. Defense did thier job. Turnovers have been plentiful. Iggs didn't capitalize. Coulda put a 40 spot on Bears easily.

This is the part that's still sticking with me. It's one thing when the team flat out sucks and loses, but they blew both games due to their own ineptitude. That's in excusable for professionals to blow winnable games twice (thus far) that they not only could have won, but should have easily won.

It's not that he called four runs, it's the four runs that he called. A toss/pitch on of those would have been killer. How about that power I formation? And over the top dive? The vaunted QB sneak? Hell I'm one of those calling him out for not running enough, but you have to call the appropriate play for the situation and he didn't. I'm not lambasting him for calling four runs, just for calling four stupid plays for that situation.
the calls were fine...could he have thrown it once sure but it was a failure on the players part...hunt missing a hole i could have run thru...runyan getting bum rushed and schobel wiffing
why do people continue to believe that an over the top dive play is an actual call by the coaches?
its a rb's decision to either punch it in if there is a hole, and if there isnt one...you take a leap
no coach wants to expose the ball like that mid-air
Obviously the calls were not fine or one of them would have scored...
obviously you dont know the difference btwn a coach making a call and a player executing a call
IGY, why are you such a Reid apologist?
its not even that
im just sick and tired of people jumping all over the guy...let the man breath for god sakes
Andy Reid can kiss the fattest part of my ass.
Your fattest part is dwarfed by his thinnest.
I don't think people have a problem for him running the ball four straight times, the thing is it was virtually the same play. Mix it up a little, there was really no excuse not to run a qb sneak on the 4th down play. Chest contusion or not that play is damn near impossible to stop.

oh dear. :o that's not encouraging.
At least he's not the mad drunk!!
Pretty low on the attempts there, too.
didnt akers suffer that knee injury in 2005? hint hint.
Akers should have never made the team so far back as last season.
If there wasnt two dozen "specialists" on the roster, they could be grooming a replacement now, with Akers taking on the Norm Johnson role for this year.
got this in an email today....if it doesnt give you chills then consider suicide

Too bad the Eagles lost that game.
What was funny about the video is all the chumps wearing Dawkins jerserys. Suckers.
Nice!
Watched the safety against the Steelers clip on that page and the NFL Network announcer says "Brian Dawkins, playing like he's 21." :paranoid
At least for that one play he did.
Was there for that, the outcome of the game sucked but the fans in the lots were off the hook.
