-5 yards, retard. That's not a cold spell. That's pathetic.

The people that thought this game was going to be close are clueless. The 49ers aren't even close to as good as we are, even with some key players down. You can find my posts on where I stand on that.

Yea I saw Reid fired up, but thats his job Phreak, nothing spectacular there.

There were alot of sloppy plays and alot of bad play calling, leading to 14 pts in 3rd QTR. Our defense was dead tired. Your not concerned a better team might be able to do a repeat like the Giants did to us?

stop already, seriously.

It's a cold spell if it only lasts for one quarter. It's not acceptable, but it's not the end of the world. If you didn't notice, the Giants got back in the Seahawks game too. That is what happens when you get a big lead. Do you actually expect to maintain hot knife through butter like offense throughout all 60 minutes? On top of that the Niners had the ball for like 90% of the quarter and did a nice job moving the ball and eating up clock.

The Eagles only had, what, 2 possessions?

Yes. They had two posessions. For no positive yards. The left a depleted defense out to hang. Again.

It was a fairly dominating win. Defense couldnt get off the field in the 3rd, and the Niners only scored those 2 TD's because of one big play (thank you Rod Hood and your bum ankle) and the great field position (offense's fault) after the near safety. Nothing really you can complain about. Moved the ball with no problems without Stallworth. Brown had a few drops at the end, though.

Biggest concern of mine is the kicking game. Akers has had 3 fairly tough FG's and made only 1 (clanker in Houston). Can't be Dirk's fault, can it? Has Akers lost it? Not sure what's going on there. But it needs to be fixed. Now.

the eagles passed on 3rd and short remember

General_Failure · September 24, 2006, 07:54:08 PM

Akers lost it last year.

Yea good point on Akers. Whats with him? He was money in pre-season, no?

I think everyone agrees that it needs to be corrected. All I said was it wasn't the end of the world. If that is all you have to complain about today then I think that is a promising day for the Eagles.

will you just die already

First, offensive ineptitude is no small matter. They shut down after halftime yet again. The defense, which is now even thinner, did what they could to bail them out. There were also terrible penalties and stupid play.

SunMo · September 24, 2006, 08:02:10 PM

offensive ineptitude is a strong word, they had one bad series. then the 49ers put a long drive together on the defense. then the defense scored, and had to come right back out and got another long drive put on them. then, the Eagles came out, converted a big third down, and scored a touchdown to answer the Niners score.

The game was alright, they seemed to have an issue with finishing again. The offense played really well today, the defense was OK. There are still some issues with this team that need to be addressed namely the secondary and the running game. They ran the ball very well today and just seemed to go away from it, I realize SF has an extremely weak secondary but there needs to be more of a commitment by Reid and Co.

I'll agree with that. I like GF a lot as a poster and he knows football, but I think you are overreacting a bit. If you break it down it was only 2 series'. They came together and put together a scoring drive. Yes -5 yards isn't good, but again, it's not the end of the world. They'll keep working and try to improve every week. It is not that big of a worry.
