Ok 2-1 and we go to KC next Week

[4and26]

I think we all have to be realistic...this is going to be a tough game.   A non-division game without our kicker and not to over analyze but if Donovan needs a week off, now would be it.  I admire him the way he plays through pain but is he doing the team, and himself, more harm by playing?

if he can't injure it anymore, i'm ok with him playing, IF AR will protect him and not force him to throw the ball 50+ times.

mcnabb will play. he may or may not be 100%

the eagles will have a 3:2 pass/run ratio.

the eagles will win.

and everyone can keep on bitching because reid wont do what they like which of course it leads to "reid will keep winning in spite of himself".

wah wah wah

christ, when the birds dont win by 30 people shtein themselves thinking the world is ending.

you can't deny that Reid didn't do Donovan any favors yesterday by having him throw 50+ times with a strained abdomin.

it was obvious in the 1st half that Donovan was not right and was really inaccurate.  you either have to put in Koy there or adjust the play-calling to help Donovan out.

[Larry]

Actually, Reid did do him a favor by throwing 50 times.

Reid won't run the ball until McNabb's in rhythm.  By having him throw all those passes, McNabb, who's undoubtedly streaky, was able to find his groove in the 4th quarter.

Agreed. I was SCREAMING all game (I have no voice to prove it) to run the ball. The one time they finally mix in some run plays, they scored the first TD.  Reid pisses me off CONSTANTLY with this and I have been screaming about it since 2003.

wrong.

reid adjust his playcalling, you can kiss any success in the 2nd half goodbye. reid adjust his playcalling: kiss the 65 yard pass to the sideline goodbye.

and koy BLOWS.

the people who constantly bitch about the playcalling are not seeing things on the whole, his philosophys and playcalling situations do adjust. but when they are not executed there is nothing he can do about it. reid is a pass first offense, when the pass doesnt work, the run wont work. but people seem to want the run-run-pass-punt offense now. if you go back through last season, on 2nd and 10 or shorter, reid runs at least 50% of the time.

2nd 10 or longer he's forced to pass.

it's there, you just have to see that reid calls plays based on where they are now, not what they did the play before.

ok, Andy Reid's perfect.  nice arguement.

yeah, thats EXACTLY what i said. good interpretation. 

[Father Demon]

I'm with Sarge...   I have concerns about  this game, because KC has looked very, very strong this season.  Maybe it's just they have a good defense, and it's altered my perception of what's supposed to happen.

McNabb will play.  Why would we not give 100% to a game that has to be fought and well played to win?  I don't see AR or McNabb rolling over and saying, "Well we can't win them all, so let's take this week off."  Westbrook must run more, but I also expect to see him catching quite a bit.  And Akers?  Well, let's hope they're able to get each time they pass the 30, and not have to rely on FGs.

I'm not flying across the country to see them, but I did drop some mighty coin for my 40 yard line, 8 rows off the field behind the Eagles bench tickets.   

[WEST is GOD]

KC is good, but you know the saying. No one is as bad as they look, and no one is a good as they look. The Chiefs are good, but not Superbowl contenders yet. Their defense IMO still has a lot to be desired. I guess we'll see this week. I know some people here will accept a loss to the Chiefs with it being a tough game, but I'm going to be extremely disappointed if we come out with a loss. Eagles are the better team and I expect nothing less than a win.

then you gotta be thinking 15-1...because this is easily their toughest game the rest of the way

[WEST is GOD]

You can't tell if it's the hardest game simply by opponents. We have to see what type of spots the Eagles and other teams are in as the season goes on.

[MadMarchHare]

But...this is the most complete team left on our schedule.  IGY is right on that.

[WEST is GOD]

It's the best team on the schedule, yes. Still isn't an excuse to lose.
