I want to see one drive, just one, where Andy says, we're gonna bust this shtein up in your grill and runs the ball like 7, 8, 9 plays in a row. I think I would orgasm if they just ran 3 times in a row, first second and third down. pathetic.

Unless the NFL is switching to a 5 or 6 down system there is 0.0% chance of that ever happening.

FIRE ANDY REID!!

[MURP]

I know some of you guys want to run the ball a lot, but all it does is force us to pass on 3rd down because if we run on 1st and 2nd down then we end up at 3rd and 8.

just wondering how many times that has happened?

Like every game.

[Sgt PSN]

Yeah.  How often does Reid run the ball on 2 consecutive plays? 

[MadMarchHare]

Through the first three games, wasn't Westbrook averaging 4.5 yds/carry?  Yeah, we weren't running much, but it was working.  Now we don't run at all.  And Reid throws this in our collective faces by RUNNING PLAY ACTION ON NEARLY EVERY fargING PASS!!  Jesus jumped-up larraping Christ, who the farg is ever going to buy that shtein.

[MadMarchHare]

Yeah.  How often does Reid run the ball on 2 consecutive plays? 

I think this only happens at the end of games, when the QB takes a knee to run out the clock.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

In all fairness, I don't think it matters even a little bit how much the team did or didn't run.  They had no chance to win that game with the defense going out there and doing their best keystone cops impersonation.

[rjs246]

It does matter. Whether you're trying to come back from a huge deficit or not you still hav to mix in some running plays. Play action is a joke on this team. No one respects it. The Cowboys just pinned their ears back and made bee-lines for McNabb all day. Reid needs to get his farging massive head out of his even more massive ass and realize that running the farging ball is important to making sure his QB doesn't get murdered every week.

[MadMarchHare]

Agreed.  As far as blame goes:

ST > Def > Off

[MURP]

It would be nice to see Lamar Gordon used.   Atleast he smashes it up in there instead of dancing around like a fairy.  If Reid isnt gonna use him he might as well cut him and pick up a 57th Olineman. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well, you make a good point, rjs.

Dallas did not respect the play-action. Kansas City still was held in check by the play action fakes despite the Birds not running and Reid didn't think it would happen this week, I guess.

So maybe this will open his eyes when he watches the film 47 times.

[rjs246]

But they did use him. Didn't you see that pass that was intended for him in the endzone? That's obviously why they picked him up. To be our pass-catching running back. Christ, I can hear Andy Reid's thought process right now "I'll put Gordon in and pass it to him! They'll never expect us to pass the ball! I mean, seriously, who would sub in Lamar Gordon for Brian Westbrook and then pass him the ball? It's brilliant! Passing!"

[MURP]

the play action isnt respected by anyone other than defense that totally blow ass chunks.   I think Reid uses the playaction to get McNabb moving around instead of having him drop straight back.  Either way, its stupid. 

[MURP]

yeah... and the play Gordon ran for 5 yards.  "what, five yards?  That sucks. We cant run that play again the rest of the game.  Who wants 5 yards when you can throw it for zero."
