Eagles/Panthers Game Thread (It's Not An Exhibition, Damn It!)

the only thing i would say...crossing the LOS...hes usually very good with that.

Ater watching the game last night, I'm still in shock that McNabb continues to do stupid shtein on the football field even though he's been in the league for ten years.  Whether he's running past the LOS to throw the ball, throwing a three yard completion with five yards to go, poor 2 minute drill/clock management, overthrowing/underthrowing, and the always inevitable pick at the end of an attempted comeback, this guy continues to do things that I see youngstaz do when I'm refereeing pee-wee football games.  It's sad as hell.  That's why I don't pay attention to pre-season scounting reports of who did what in practice, how healthy somebody is, or how many times a play was ran to perfection.  I know it's pre-season, but I make my judgements on what I see them do during an actual game scenario, regardless of if its pre-season, season, or post-season.  I honestly feel that McNabb, the receivers, and special teams are going to disappoint this year, but I hope they prove me wrong.  However, Desean is the truth.  Even with his mistakes they guy is better than any receiver the Eagles have had since TO.  If he ain't a starter in this offense by week 4 something's wrong...

mcnabb learned from the best offensive line coach ever

Ha Ha - good stuff

I just read an article on NFL.com:

Reid says, "Well, we did it again," coach Andy Reid said. "We moved the ball and had a chance to do a lot more in getting points. Last year it was red zone problems. Tonight we made mistakes that bogged things down. We've got more work to do there. We have to be more explosive"

I believe the Eagles red zone troubles are a result of the field becoming smaller. It's easier for the defense to when there's less real estate to worry about. I know - breaking news. You read it here first.

less field also = easier to mark westbrook

and we all know how easy it is to cover the rest of the offense

hopefully lj helps out this year in that area

[shorebird]

Cbuck could help that situation also. He's a definate threat with his quickness between the tackles, and could keep defenses from spreading out so much.

[Munson]

LJ will help...but it would also farging help if Reid would stop being a dumbass and run the ball when they get down in that area.

[shorebird]

He'll run it once, for one or two yards off tackle. Then he'll see that theres no way he can run the ball and score, so he'll pass the whole rest of the time.

[General_Failure]

They'll never expect a pass on 3rd and goal!
