Can We All Finally Agree Donovan Needs To Burn In Hell (even you phreak)

[ice grillin you]

just out of curiosity, are those pass vs run numbers just taken from box scores or something?  because if that's the case, then it's going to include every mcnabb scramble over the last 11 years as a run instead of a pass, which would seriously drive down the pass plays called per game. 

total passes thrown....i was trying to prove a point to simpletons like munson that think reid throws the ball a million times a game...its simply not true...ive said here before its when and how he throws thats way more of a problem than how much he throws...and no you dont take out mcnabb scrambles and count them as passes because part of the reason reid called the number of passes he does was because you have a qb who can get you first downs with his feet...if youre going to do that then lets also count all the screens to wr's and rb's as runs...or how about other really high % pass plays

Those numbers are misleading. Reid is the only coach in history with 60%+ passing plays called over the length of his career. To try to argue that he doesn't pass that much is stupid.

no they arent misleading...they are 100% accurate and again go to munsons and others thinking that he throws 40+ times a game so hes going to get quarterbacks killed...when in fact eagle quarterbacks drop back less than many teams in the nfl

and id have to check the numbers but i think he throws at a 57-58% of the time clip

[Munson]

He has said on numerous occasions that he believes this offense is most effective when it is operating on a 60-40 pass-run ratio.

When a coach has won more than 100 regular-season games in a decade, it's hard to find too much fault with his philosophy.

But Reid's ratio has failed him in the playoffs.

The Eagles' record in the postseason under Reid clearly indicates that when the offense gets too far away from the ground, the Birds lose.

The Eagles are 8-6 in 14 playoff games under Reid. In their eight wins, they passed the ball 258 times compared to 233 rushes, which equates to a pass-run ratio of 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent, well below Reid's desired threshold.

In the six losses, however, the Birds have aired it out 237 times to 120 rushes, a ratio of 66.7 percent to 33.3 percent.

Reid's Eagles are 8-1 in the playoffs when the rush the ball at least 25 times. They are 0-5 when they don't run at least 25 times.

Not surprisingly, when the Eagles beat the Atlanta Falcons, 27-10, in the one NFC Championship Game the Eagles won with Reid, it was the only one in which they ran (33 times) more than they passed (27).

wtf??

[ice grillin you]

hold on a second

teams run more in games they win?...and even more in games they win by 17 pts

i dont believe it

i bet in the playoff games the eagles won they passed more in the first half when the game was close or in doubt than they did in the 4th quarter leading

[ice grillin you]

ill even take this craziness one step further and go out on an even bigger limb

i bet the eagles passed more in the games they lost

[smeags]

so how is this place better than TATErville again ?

[rjs246]

I love the fact that the number of dropbacks is somehow more indicative of Reid's playcalling than the % of times he calls a pass. It's over 60%, which was talked about extensively here and during the broadcast of one of their games this year, which is the highest % ever for a coach who has coached as many games as Reid. I have a hard time even understanding what IGY's point is, but I'm sure it has to do with one of the following:
1. MA
2. Alternately encouraging / discouraging MDS in whatever he says / does / thinks
3. Psychotically refuting some insignificant point that Munson/reese/King Cole tried to make
4. Buttered joints

[ice grillin you]

no one is even talking %'s...i dont know how you even got on it

btw i just looked it up and reid throws 57.1% of the time

[Munson]

FTR, McNabb's been at a 60%+ completion rate for the last 3 years now.


And lol at IGY trying to avoid the facts of the situation.

[ice grillin you]

FTR, McNabb's been at a 60%+ completion rate for the last 3 years now.

which would move him to number 20 on the active quarterbacks list...be proud...its really sad when you get all happy because a qb threw for 60 %

plus hes his normal 58% in the playoffs...including one of the worst first halves in playoff history last year

why are you trying to tout his accuracy anyway...its not good...we all know that

at least say he made the playoffs two out of the last three years or something semi positive if youre gonna cling to him

[Sgt PSN]

he also stopped doing chunky soup commercials.
