It's time for Reid to GO!!!!!!

[mussa]

exactly, they passed too much in 2nd half. i remember a 3 and out somewhere in 3rd or 4th, all passes and they were up by plenty. wtf, they should of ran the clock out more with pounding the ball.

i wanted to see more Buck and Tony Hunt just grinding it out

you wanted to see them get in there and compete?

in reids defense the detroit secondary was so unbelievably bad that you can somewhat defend passing as much as he did in the 2nd half...

i just hope he doesnt forget games like the giants opener last year where they got burned by it

[MadMarchHare]

Well, the only thing worse than the Lions secondary is the Giants.  Expect a lot of throws on Sunday night.

Based on the first two games, I'm not sure the Saints even have a secondary. I think they just have a line and a couple of linebackers. I'll have to check it out tonight.

the only hope is reid realizes the run helped set up the exploitation of the awful lions 2ndary. i know he will be tempted to come out and throw and throw. maybe even the surprisingly not surprising flea flicker to reggie brown but gotta hope he uses the run to set up the pass and not the other way around.

In the 3rd qtr, yes.  To start the 4th, ok I'll buy it.  But when the Eagles are up by 28 points with 6 minutes left and McNabb is still throwing the ball (agressively down field) then there is no defending that.  Buck and Hunt should have finished the game with as many carries as Westbrook and Kolb shouldn't have done anything other than hand the ball off.

Really, why was Kolb passing so late in the game when he was in there to run out the clock? Go figure.

And yes, I'd take Gruden.

edit...i meant to quote shorebird

They called those two passes to try and get Curtis the Eagle record...he needed 16 yards.

[shorebird]

Oh. Didn't know that.

[SunMo]

who has the current record?

[Diomedes]

I would happily take Gruden.   

I deleted all the other shtein I was gonna post because really, who cares.

[shorebird]

who has the current record?

Tommy McDonald 12/10/61 vs Giants. 237yds.

That's all well and good but at that point in the game I don't give a shtein about records and no one on the sidelines should either.  When you are up by that much, that late in the game you run the farging ball to (a) kill the clock and (b) not embarrass your opponent any more than they already are.  

Had the situation been reversed and another team was doing that to the Eagles we'd all be talking about how pathetic the Lions coaching staff was to keep throwing the ball just so a player can break a record.  

It's a damn good thing Kolb didn't get any passes out to Curtis because if I'm on the Lions defense and I've had my ass handed to me all day and the opponent is still throwing the ball and a pass gets completed, I'm taking a massive cheap shot on whoever catches the ball with the intent to maim just to send a message.  Pathetic logic by the Eagles coaching staff.........not that that comes as a surprise to me though.
