I'd kill to see a two minute drive.

20 second drive. Pah. Thet. Ick.

Normally, yes. But with, what....48 seconds on the clock, no time outs, and passing the only option....20 seconds is enough. Just wish McNabb wasn't chuckin them in the dirt...

No. 48 seconds is enough. If you're going to do nothing with the ball, then call a farging run or three.

Why call a run with no time outs and at the OPP 45 yard line? I've been asking for Reid to run the ball all year....but passing is the only option in that situation. They got a good gain on the slant to Reggie and were trying to push the ball a little deeper to get a FG out of Akers. If you run the ball, you pretty much guarentee you'll get nothing (no time outs to stop the clock). At least with passing you have a chance.

I'd kill to see anything resembling a drive at all.

You already saw one, 4+ minutes for 3 points, first Eagles drive of the game.

They had no chance. Their two throws near the sidelines were incomplete. And with the way McNabb handles the no huddle, yeah, run it and go into halftime up by 14.

AWESOME!

[Munson]

So for the 2nd half....

-Keep running the ball Andy
-McNabb, stop throwing the ball in the dirt
-WR's don't drop the ball
-Defense keep playing as is, but solidify the middle a little more
-Let taterskins keep shooting themselves in the foot

Sounds good.

Does Bunkley even dress anymore?

He plays naked

Sure looked like they had a chance after the completion to Reggie. Mcnabb then proceeded to chuck one in the dirt (to stop the clock), chuck one in the dirt (Brown miscommunication, or Mcnabb bad throw?), and then Stallworth got clocked and dropped the ball. when you're at the 45 yard line and have David Akers, that 8 yard completion to Stallworth could have set up Akers for a long FG try wit htime running out. A run would have ended the half without any chance of scoring, period.

[General_Failure]

And no chance of giving the ball back, even if the Skins did nothing with it. End the half, no chance of turnovers, stupid penalties, and Mr Hamstring doesn't get clocked.

Not to mentino that if Reid was at the taterskins 45 with 30 or so seconds left, and ran the ball, half the MB would be here bitching at Reid for not being agressive enough and trying to score from the 45.


Jesus Christ, where is Reno Mahe buying these kick returns from?

[QB Eagles]

Eagles start with great field position again.

Home Depot.

[General_Failure]

Going for it on 4th down. Buh?
