The observation thread

[Wingspan]

For most of the game, I agree.  He called a pretty good game and he did seem to stick with the run consistantly even though it wasn't overly effective.  Although opening up the game in the shotgun on the first 3 or 4 plays was rather annoying as well. 

But it was that one drive in the 4th when he called pass pass pass pass pass pass qb draw pass pass.  I was going nuts.  I'm not saying that every play call should have been a run but one pass was incomplete and another went to Tapeh I believe and he ran out of bounds.  So that was a good minute or so that could have been run off the clock and wasn't. 

Oh well, they won so Reid is safe for now.

I think there is a number of fans that would bitch about a pass being called on a last play hail mary.

Responses:

1.  Yes, Trent Cole is a beast.  Thank you, Captain Obvious.  Drafting a DE is not any more a need than almost every other position on the field, though.

5.  Anomaly.  He still needs to be replaced long-term.

6.  Wrong.  McNabb looked like he was TRYING to be his old self but was incapable.  He's basically Byron Leftwich now.

Half the observations in this thread are "obvious".

Reggie Brown isn't going to be a good #1 WR but he's fine in a #2 role. Kevin Curtis is also fine in a #2 role. We're back to having two #2 WR's again.

As for McNabb, I disagree. He escaped from the pocket a few times yesterday, something I havn't really seen him do all year. He'd been getting sacked a lot earlier in the year, even as recent as last week, on those attempts to escape. But yesterday he was actually getting away from the rush.

Kenechi Udeze chased him down from behind.

Read my post again.

Still not as fast as he once was

I never said he got his speed back. I'm saying he was showing some ability to cut on that knee and move side to side to avoid people and escape, something he hasn't really done too well so far this year.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, you're saying he doesn't have the ability to get away from a defensive lineman but continues to attempt to play like a healthy 24-year-old Donovan and not like an injured, less-athletic version of himself?

I agree.  He's an idiot for it.  He can't run away from anyone, and he should have figured that out by now.

Would you rather him take the sack?

As long as Reid doesn't realize he has a slower McNabb, he's going to keep dropping him back 40 times a game and let him try to run for his life instead of running the ball and having a balanced attack. Yesterday not withstanding since Minny can't defend the pass.

That's because the recievers would include Greg Lewis and Reno Mahe. 

[Magical_Retard]

im still pissed that reno mahe was looking at the plays with mcnabb on the sidelines back against the giants.

WTF does he need to look at the plays for?!?!??!?! 

[Munson]

another observation...

Bunkley has looked pretty damn good this year against the run. I think a big part of the reason why the run defense has been better this year is his play. He's been an animal and almost never gets pushed backwards. I'd like to see him get at the QB a little bit.

Did you actually observe that yourself or did you simply observe everyone else posting the same thing for the last several weeks?

I don't read a lot of what other people say here because most of you are negative to the point of retardation. I'm negative but not to the extent some are here.

No, you're right. I saw 20 people post that two weeks ago and was like "DUDE I SHOULD TOTALLY COPY WHAT THEY SAID AND PRETEND LIKE I OBSERVED THAT MYSELF EVEN THOUGH I KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT FOOTBALL THEN THESE DOUCHEBAGS!?!111onneone1!!21243!" I thought that would be a simply wonderful idea. I don't even watch the games. I just read what everyone says right here on CF and base my opinion of the Eagles on those thoughts and those thoughts only. Because everyone here is right. Kevin Curtis is slow because he's white. Why do all the Eagles players have AIDS? Wait, what the farg is football?

A lot of you repeat the same shtein over and over again. Get your mouth off your own cack'n'balls and get over yourself. And then do me a favor and take an icepick to your brain.

[SunMo]

A lot of you repeat the same shtein over and over again.

and it's more interesting and informative that what you post each and every time

dmac or reno?

And yet, you continue to post here without reading anything that anyone writes. Living in a vacuum, thinking that you have anything to contribute. I used to live with a kid like that. You could have a conversation right across his face and he wouldn't have any idea that you were talking. Then five minutes later he'd just repeat everything back to you as though he just came up with it and expected you to to think that his ideas were somehow new or interesting or deserve a second thought. He got mocked a lot. Just like you. Put a sock in it, assface.

prolly both at this point....not like looking at the plays shows them anything. they dont adjust. for all we know they might have been looking at nudie girls.
