Positives amidst all the negativity

[Munson]

(click) Yeah.

You must never hesitate.

[Butchers Bill]

Here's some positivity for you...at least we aren't Cardinals fans.

Honestly, I don't know that he doesn't "coach"well.  The problem is when his gameplan doesn't work.  If he installs an effective gameplan, it's lights out.  If the opponent stops his gameplan, he's totally lobotamized, drooling on his fat ass on the sideline.

actually the exact opposite of that happened on sunday.

[Wingspan]

passing too much or reid really didnt cost us the game this time. it was the defense. we finally have a damn good offense and now our defense is average to mediocre.

the defense sucks. there is no way to really sugar coat it.

Bingo.

[Magical_Retard]

i just dont get why the defense sucks...we have a better DLINE than we ever had had, even with kearse out, and we have the same 2ndary that went the probowl. and its not even the run anymore...the pass is killing us now.

I am trying to figure that one out too.  The rush has been awesome to decent at times, but you are not going to get pressure every down.  For some reason, we just can't cover anyone...I have re-watched a couple games and I cannot figure it out.  Maybe Lito and Brown just aren't as good as everyone thought they were.

well that much i think we all knew. they werent as good as the hype but still they are decent. back in 04 we would be up by a lot and very quickly and most teams would play catch up and become one dimensional. our offense is pretty good again...maybe if we can go up and go up early we can do that again? but then that doesnt make much sense either since in the giants game we let the lead slip away.

LMAO...I'd forgotten that I had him on my ignore list.

Teams have figured out how to exploit their weaknesses and it doesn't seem like they have the ability to counter anymore.

It's depressing as hell, actually.

it's a team game...sometimes you need to have your offense chew up more time on the clock to cover up for your weak defense by keeping the opponent's offense off the field.

while i agree to a point, i also see this as a excuse for the defense. the offense didnt rush them to the field to start of the game. when the offense came back and took the lead they didnt blow the coverage in the 2ndary. there has to be more accountability on the defensive side. for yrs we have dreamed of a dynamic offense with WRs who are more capable than the likes of thrash and pinkston and we finally have one and now our defense, which has many of the same players, same coordinator, and same style is letting us down. its not like the offense back then was chewing up the clock and letting the D rest.

it is a team game and it would help if the offense had more 9-11 play drives but im not going to complain about a offense that can score and blame them for our defense's lack of ability to stop drives.

[SOARIN EAGLE]

With everything said above. The Eagles still had a chance to win the game against the Saints. If it wasn't for 12 men on the field who knows what would have happened. Maybe the Eagles still would have lost but you never know. With all the mistakes that were made in the game and still have a chance at the end says a lot about the Eagles ability.

This team will turn it around. They will make the playoffs.

Anyone expecting the Super Bowl maybe be asking a bit much, but still you never know.
