Resistance is Futile

the play might have worked, but instead of a 3rd TE, they had Reggie Brown in, and he totally missed the safety coming off the edge.  Tapeh got good penetration into the dline and Buck probably could've picked it up

Bartrum had gotten hurt, so the 3rd TE might not have been an option?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah, Reggie was lined up too far outside to get in front of Wilson to get a good block. It was a poor play call at the time. You run that when the safety isn't standing at the LOS unblocked.

Should have been a QB sneak.

Should have been a QB sneak.

Clearly.  Even if they shouted to the Giants.."hey guys, we're gonna go with the qb sneak."

[PhillyGirl]

I was yelling that it should have a sneak too.

[Diomedes]

I'm awful unhappy with Reid.

as mad as i get at reid in game or after the game...esp when they lose but bunkley 78 is right in that the players mailed in the 4rth qrt. i mean if westbrook doesnt fumble or if m. lewis secures the fumble...i mean those were complete momentum changers. i blame the whole team and all the coaches.


i just cant wait till sunday. we need to beat the shtein out of san fran. beat em like TO still plays for them and knock out bryant and then kill alex smith. then cole can go kick him in the balls after the game is over.

Has a QB ever been stopped 3 times in a row on a sneak for a yard?

[Drunkmasterflex]

I didn't get to see this game but to me it sounds like the season opener against the Titans a few years back.  Reid seems to lose at least one game a year for the Eagles.  My only hope for Reid is that he can be a coach like Bill Cowher and after years of choking can finally get the team over the hump. 

And even though I didn't get to see the game from every account that I have heard McNabb was the least of the teams worries.  I will never understand why people will hate on him no matter what.  I know guys down here and they hate McNabb and when I ask them why they can never give me a real reason.  Whatever imho he is already one of the great Eagles of all-time.

Ok...Outside of the 04 NFC Championship game name me 5 major comeback wins for McNabbs?  McNabb is no Tom Brady.  He has legs of jello in the big time situations.

Reid did call a horrible second half...I knew when he stopped being aggressive things could get ugle real quick.

WHAT the hell happened to our pathetic offense in OT?

2000--OT wins against Dallas and at Pittsburgh, back-to-back, first time tha had been done in the league since OT was adopted for the regular season; win at Washington where he ran for 125 yards--I believe that was a comeback win--WITHOUT those 3, there are no playoffs in 2000

2001--win at the Meadowlands where they were behind all game
          win over the Giants at the Vet--without those two wins, no NFC East title
           win over the Bears in the playoffs to advance to the NFCCG for the first time since 1981--they were behind in that game

2003--regular season game at Green Bay on MNF--without that win, no HFA
          playoff game against the Pack

So, I've just given you 8 comeback wins, and there are probably more. You didn't qualify your statement with "how many championships have they led to"--you just said, "name 5 major comeback wins".

A playoff game IS a major comeback win--lose and you're out.

I thought a lot about this tonight.

I realized today that SHEli has been is this league for two freakin years, and Donovan has been in the league 7 years.  SHEli, despite having no protection for 3 quarters and an awful game for 3 quarters rallied his team to a win today.  So I asked myself, if Donovan had been put in the same situation...at his own 20, with no timeouts and less than a minute left...could he have marched the Eagles down the field to get into field goal range??

I thought of every conceiveable possibility, but the answer was always the same...no he couldn't.  Maybe its just the way today ended, but sometime, doesn't McNabb have to show he can win in the final minutes of a critical game??

See Giants' games in 2001--led the Eagles downfield in the last minute of the game at the Meadowlands and erased a 7 point lead in the last 3 minutes of the game at the Vet

Oakland at the Linc in 2005--led the team down the field for the winning FG

Packers playoff game 2003--led the Eagles down the field--HELLO--4TH AND 26 ANYONE?--to tie it and then they won it in OT.

It bears mentioning that the MNF game against the Pack was in the pouring rain, and Dmac still passed us downfield.
