Few thoughts:

- I told you all LT's streak would end this week and you all told me I was an idiot for not starting him in my fantasy league. You all got owned eat your crow.

- LJ Smith... will you ever hold onto the ball?

- McNabb... is he really playing that bad or is the offense just totally out of rythm. I thought he looked good at times and bad at times. Overall he completed most of his passes so what was it?

- Sheldon Brown is the best corner in the game.

Oh, and this team got lucky no question about it. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS OFFENSE?

Is it McNabb? Playcalling? No run game? McNabb looked like he moved well and he didn't underthrow or overthrow a lot, but it was just a ton of passes deflected because they knew we just WOULD NOT run the ball.

This team has issues and needs them fixed starting tomorrow.

Merrill's call of the block, for those who missed it.

Man, that ain't what I saw. It looked to me that McNabb wasn't on target at all.

McNabb didn't look 100%, but what I saw was that he completed the passes it's just the balls were thrown ugly. He still completed them though.

But as for not being able to move the ball, when he dropped back they had the field covered well. Why? They knew we wouldn't run. A lot of tipped passes, but I don't think he looked that bad.

QB Eagles · October 23, 2005, 04:58:22 PM

Most alarming to me was the Eagles inability to cover the point spread.

Yeah, I lost out on that also.

I don't know if it's that they knew we wern't gonna' run as much as they knew we couldn't run the ball.

Crow, my left nut. You're still an idiot for not starting him. You were an idiot before the 1st snap even happened because you benched him. He's the #1 FF RB for a reason and you don't bench them ever.

No one's happier than I am that the Eagles completely shut LT down, but it doesn't change the fact that fantasy-wise you made a dumb move.

Obviously it was a smart move if he didn't do well.

JTrotter Fan · October 23, 2005, 05:11:57 PM

Normally, it wouldn't have been a smart move...you wouldn't see me benching Shaun Alexander.

I'm convinced McNabb has a low football IQ.

Last year's playoff game vs. the Vikes before halftime, he throws a dumpoff pass to Levens while inside the 10...too bad we had no timeouts left. Points squandered

During the last drive of the Super Bowl, he throws to Josh Parry right in the middle of the field. No more timeouts...40+ seconds gone.

Today he does the Levens' trick with LJ Smith. If we score there, I think the game takes a completely different turn.

You have the ball with no times outs left....Isn't it intuitive that you just can't chuck it in the middle of the field? This is pee-wee league shtein.

JTrotter Fan · October 23, 2005, 05:13:01 PM

He's scared of throwing INT's...cuz that's how he ended two straight NFCCG's. He's scared.

Normally... but when you are the king of predictions like I am, then it's smart.

Not only that, but the second series of the second half, he got the ball on the Chargers thirty yard line and couldn't get it in the end zone. That was farging terrible.
