Third. Down. Specialist. That's all that needs to be said about Burgess.

right now there is no existance of a 1st down specialist, or a 2nd down specialist. burgess is missed right now. letting he and ike go without replacing them so far has been proven a mistake.

You guys love arguing in circles.

Luckily we've got two weeks to piss on each others' shoes before the next game proves us all wrong about everything.

So we're not goin to sign one of those giant space ants to play special teams?

Although Kearse's comments after the game were beyond stupid. "Duh, they double teamed me all day, and kept going for it on 4th down. That's disrespectful." So make 'em pay for dumbass!

He said that?! It was fourth and 1 at portions of the field where going for it made more sense than punting. In a divisional game like this, I can certainly understand going for the TD on fourth and goal.

If you don't like them going for it, as MadMarchHare said, farging stop them, punk.

the goaline 4th down call was horrific...but perhaps parcells knew then what we didnt...that the eagles were gonna lay down like dogs...

but at 7-0 you definitely go up two scores...if its already a two score lead then maybe you go for it to try and bury the eagles...but at 7-0 it was an inexcusable call

Parcells always goes for it on 4th and 1. Always.

Under normal circamstances I agree; however, as this was a divisional game and Philly is supposed to be the best in the division, I can understand why Parcells told them to go for it - he wanted to make a statement to his team.

the better statement would have been to go up 10-0...not only do you not get the two score lead...but if the eagles had been functioning it could have...and should have...given them the momentum in a game that dallas was dominating...

Don't be ridiculous. Of course we'll win after the bye. AR always wins after the bye. The Chargers might be a better team in the grand scheme of things, but we win that game.

I agree he should've kicked it when he was at the thirty. On the 1, I'd go for it.

MURP · October 11, 2005, 02:36:54 PM

the typical rule is always to go for the points early. Jones got stuffed. If the Eagles even showed up to play after that it would have hurt the Turds. oh well.

Dalls won. Maybe Bill isn't as dumb as the geniuses on the message boards and in the media make him out to be. The guy makes what $8 mil to coach an NFL team? Think maybe he knows more than the ass clowns in the media? He had a plan and went with it.

it's called market value

And who determines market value? The players?? No. They're not paying the salaries.

The teams set market value and if Westbrook hits the market next year, some team will undoubtedly overpay for him. If that happens, so be it. I doubt he'd ever find a system that would be as tailor made for his talents as Reid's but if he thinks the grass is greener elsewhere, vyo con dios, motherfarger.

Be careful here. The CAP goes way up next year. So Westbrook will - unless he is in a train wreck injury - get someone to bite on his $$$$$$$$$$$$ level.
The Eagles would be well served to sign him to something close to what he was asking for.

Gargano is saying on WIP that they are close (of course, he's been saying that for weeks)

he said the Eagles are up to $4.3 million per year(could be $4.6 million with bonuses), with $9 million upfront. he said the main sticking point is that Westbrook is upset that he has to play this year for the $1.43 million

so take that for what it's worth.
