You put the blame where you want and I'll keep blaming Trent Cole.

good fargin question

they farging blew them out mussa....are you ever happy with a win? ever??

Blew them out in the 2nd half, yes. I'm fully aware that to get anywhere in this league you need to play 4 qrtrs of football, not 1, 2 or 3. They havn't done that this year. You see what can happen when we took on a decent team in the Giants, we played 2 qrtrs and then lost. Imagine when we play Jacksonville or the Colts? Imagine when we take on a team like Chicago in the playoffs. Even Dallas and the Foreskins are looking good now...
I know this team has it in them to beat any team in the league, but I have yet to see them play a full game to their potential. I'm mad happy that they came out and adjusted last night, but come divisional/playoff games they've got to get it together and start playing some 4 qrtr football, otherwise they will lose to the better teams. I'm just letting some of you know since some of you seem to be oblivious to the fact.

Another sunny day in philadelphia!

Second Coming...blaming Kearse's injury on Cole alone is ridiculous. The whole team deserves the blame for not ending that game. The offesne for tanking it in the second half, the defense for letting the Giants come back.

Yep.

But on the positive side: The linebackers all played pretty well. Here's a little piece of trivia for you... who made each of the 4 tackles on the goalline stand at the end of the game?

Answer: 3 of them were Omar Gaither, the other was Matt McCoy.

I wonder if Gaither will get some non-special teams time on the field soon. He's made the most of his opportunities when he's been out there. I'm wondering how he'll do in non-garbage time.

Anyone catch what the crowd was chanting during ESPN halftime gang's anal-yZING?

Didinger says the hit that Considine put on Driver changed the momentum of the game because Driver was never the same after that. Besides the dropped pass in the third quarter, he also pulled up a few times going over the middle.

Both of the white boys they drafted last year for defense are coming through in their 2nd seasons. It's nice to see guys like that make plays, and it gives me hope for Justice, Gocong, Jean-Gilles, and Bloom. Hell, it's not like Bunkley's been lighting the world on fire either.

Westy · October 03, 2006, 11:04:53 AM

I gotta believe the lack of sacks last night can really be attributed to Favre being in the shotgun 80% of the time and half the passes coming on quick slants due to the CBs giving the GB receivers a 10 yard cushion.

I think the fact that he did pass so much and droppin the def back in coverage with help because of injuries led to Morency's 99 yards

I agree. Johnson's scheme seemed to work well overall. He rarely blitzed, and for good reason.

But the front 4 was barely able to hurry Favre, let alone sack him... that is a concern considering the inexperience of the interior of his offensive line. The Eagles really should have gotten a nice push more often.

Good points on Farve's formation and the quick slants. It was so painful that first half watching them do that. I was hoping they'd drop a lineback in those paths, but they didn't. Really didn't matter since we bent but didn't break. I'm not concerned about the lack of pressure the first half, mainly due to what Westy said. We got pressure when they started taking shots down the field and it worked out minus the sacks, but a plus for the INT's.

If 0 sacks comes along with no TDs every week, I'll take it. I'll complain, but I'll take it. Quietly. When no one's looking.

I agree that not gettin to Favre 'til late was a little worrisome, but in addition to what Westy said, the Packers did spend a lot of time early in max protect and we weren't blitzing so that caused a lot of 4 against 7 matchups.

I am not too concerned about that considering how quick they got rid of the ball.

Did anybody catch the post game on ESPN, Irvin was talking about Favre it was great. He was saying how Brett hasn't been a good QB for the last couple of years and basically saying how he is a media darling.
