Who's Michael Quentin?

The CBS crew called him Michael Quintin after the block.

On another note, it was nice to see refs protecting the QB yesterday. I know Dawkins tried to let up on Brees, but he got helmet-to-helmet, so it was definitely the right call. Same on the roughing against McNabb. They might have been a little flag-wacky, but when it comes to protecting the QB (especially one like McNabb that never seems to draw a roughing call), it was nice to see this change of pace.

I DID, however, take offense to the terrible block from the back on Lewis earlier in the game that was called and then the facemask on McNabb that went uncalled.

Steve (Whada_F) brought this up while we were still high-fiving and hugging everyone after the HUGE play.

But he made a great point.

This is parallel to Westbrook making that season saving play.

McNabb and the offense were struggling in 2003
McNabb and the offense are struggling now

A huge STs play turned it around and gave the team confidence and they ripped off a string of victories.

Totally amazing and totally unbelievable. I have zero voice and a pounding headache but it was well worth it.

Quintin Mikell & Matt Ware = 2005 Season Savers

i said the same thing in the game thread.

i said the same thing in the game thread

as did everyone in the stadium

definitely similarities with the two but in general the overall feeling was different to me...it was much much more dire in 2003...for one had the eagles lost to the giants they would have been under .500...with dallas at 4-1...and as much as the offense is struggling this year its doesnt come close to how pathetic it was at the start of the 03 season...the overall meltdown factor back then was much higher with a loss than it was yesterday

I agree, but he still won't be 100%. It seemed in this game, he got warmed up, then ran out of gas. What Andy needs to do is call just enough passes so that he doesn't get to the "running out of gas" point. The supposed pass-to-set-up-the-run method would be perfect for this, if they ever actually ran.

I know that he won't be 100%, but throwing the ball more than 50 times a game will NOT help him.

actually, i am going to disagree with that.

Quote1st Half 62 104 731 59.6 7.03 68 6 2 6.0 92.3 4 6 1.5 3 0
2nd Half 61 96 733 63.5 7.64 62 5 1 4.0 99.9 6 3 0.5 5 0

he's taking so long to "warm up" that he almost needs all those pass plays. he his hurting the offense right now, and he does make some stupid decisions.

example...the play before the half. watch the play again, there were 4 recievers in on the play. 3 of them went to the endzone or the sideline. one went in the middle. a 7th year qb, no time outs, 15 seconds left. which do you think he should have thrown it to?

Mikell for prez.

The Westrbook return was much more important than this one. Not least because I was at the Meadowlands for that one. So there.

I seem to remember you bragging about that back then too.

Diomedes · October 24, 2005, 10:59:24 AM

Wouldn't you brag about it if you had been there?

Your numbers mean very little. You don't need to look at the numbers to see that McNabb started out the game poorly AND finished it up quite poorly, with a very good in-between period.

you also dont need the number to see that because of this injury, he needs almost 2 or 3 drives to get going.
