The farg you Andy... I mean post-game thread

[SunMo]

but don't kid yourself - this game wasn't some weird fluke let down game. 

yes it was.  why do people keep bringing up the Falcons and this game as similar games?  the Falcons came out on fire, their entire offseason building to that moment, Trotter got tossed and the defense was left naked in the middle, and the Falcons are pretty good.

this game is totally different from the Falcons game, so to say that this is the second "letdown" game of the year is just not correct.

It's never as bad as it seems and its never as good as it looks.

Touche.   A little Reidism.

I expect the PC to be similar.  A lot of "We'll see"..."I've got to do a better job"..."Dallas did a heckuva job"..."We gotta get things tightened up here"

My biggest concern coming out of this game is McNabb. He had a terrible game, and whether he just had a bad day or it was all because of the abdomen remains to be seen. If he's going to start off slow every game then this is not good news at all. He may end up getting that surgery after all if these slow starts keep up. I just hope he's not going to have bad games like this often because of this abdomen injury.

Week 1 = regular loss

Today = Indy in 2002 ; Pittsburgh in 2004

Nah, aside from the playoffs, no loss hurts as much as a thorough whoopin by the Boys. Why? The cockroaches will be out in their jerseys tomorrow ...

The overreaction is to be expected. That's why I am cooling off now before I start talking about the game.

It's never as bad as it seems and its never as good as it looks.

Not to be overly 'me' about this, but I'll bet that when you look back on what happened in this game you will actually be MORE steamed about the team. This was a dismantling. Period. We got beat up and down in every aspect of the game. 'Cooling off' probably isn't going to help.

That's exactly what he said after the game. He used every one of those lines. Classic.

Damnit it I missed it!

OK here are all the things that need immediate work:

1. Special teams. We got owned in all phases of it. We need better return coverage, and a better KR. Hood sucks, Wynn sucks, and the blocking sucks. Activate Moats or sign someone because this is an absolute joke.

2. Defensive pass rush was awful as usual. The most immobile QB wasn't even touched, with a mediocre offensive line at that. DISGRACE. Kearse.. you were the highest paid DE ever when you signed that deal. You aren't playing up to a quarter of that money. They dismantled us in every aspect of the defense. They ran all over us, they threw all over us. Multiple guys were open on every play. Worst defensive effort since the Colts loss at home a few years back.

3. Lito got torched. He's not as good as Sheldon, and he makes me nervous at times because he can get beat, but he was beat all day. Was Lito exposed or just a bad day? We'll see against the Chargers who have a good offense and decent receivers.

4. No protection for McNabb. No execution. No run game. McNabb was awful. He threw into the turf all day. He also overthew at times. Was it the abdomen acting up? Just a bad game because he was pressured? No one was getting open either. Pathetic effort.

5. Terrible coaching effort. The team looked unprepared, and not ready. They weren't focused, and Andy left McNabb in WAY too long. What are you thinking man? Terrible play calls. I remember it was like 3rd and 6 and he ran a screen to TO. WTF?

Translation... not one thing was positive. Offense, defense, speacial teams, coaching, playing, that pretty much covers it.

[Boyzguru]

No comment.

We have one of these every year.

I'm too pissed right now.

i thought the one of these was week 1.

Week 1 = regular loss

Today = Indy in 2002 ; Pittsburgh in 2004

those were losses against 2 good teams....today wasn't.

Either you are a Helen Keller and did not see or even hear the game today or you are simply:

[QB Eagles]

"Yeah, it was embarrassing. There is no other way to sugarcoat this loss.." - Spadaro

When Spads can't sugarcoat a game, you know it's bad.

[Larry]

There has to be some sort of change on the special teams.  Their ineffectiveness is leading to these fast starts by the other teams--we've been behind 4 out of the 5 games.

[QB Eagles]

Need to improve the coin toss calling too.

[General_Failure]

Trade Wynn and a 4th round pick for Ike. Then get Urlacher and Kevin Johnson.

[mussa]

pathetic.  no protection for McNabb always equals disaster.  how can the o-line go from awesome last week to non-existent this week?  is dallas that good?  i think not.  we'll see them at home again. 
we need to come back from this game bigtime against the chargers.  they need to come into the game pumped up and ready to go from the first kick-off.  None of this oh we'll wait to the second half shtein.  if not we are going to get destroyed by the chargers.  they are a very good team with alot of offensive weapons. 
Lito and Brown were exposed today badley.  While Lito got burnt today more than anyone, I saw Brown give up the first touchdown and give up alot of other passes too.  Dawkins and Lewis were nowhere. The D-line has serious issues.  Was Bledsoe hurried more than 2 times the entire game? 

This was a really disappointing game...they gave up and didn't even try in the second half.  The coaches need a good ass reaming, especially JJ.  I could barf repeatedley for the next few hours, but im not, because the team playing today doesn't deserve anything but a big farg you from me.
