I can't wait to see the million complaints about time management after the game. That play had NOTHING to do with time management. The drive was managed perfectly. Andy would not call a pass to the 3 yard line, that was all on McNabb and he is having a poor game today no question.

Poor decision by McNabb. Bad play call my Andy Reid. End of half. That's about it all you can say.

I'm not being a fleshpop, but why is it a bad play call by Reid? I know there is a lot of shtein to blame on him, but he didn't say to throw it to the guy 4 yards short of the endzone.

There shouldnt be a guy 4 yards short of the endzone in that situation.

Kickoff to the 30.

You can't have everyone run routes in the endzone, or else TB could just sit on the routes. The play call wasn't horrible, because LJ can occupy some bodies short of the endzone and create more room for the WR's.

It was just a bad decision by McNabb. He has to know that with 9 seconds left and no Time outs that you have to go endzone. At least come out of the half with a FG. That was just a boneheaded play. That was completely on McNabb.

1 yard pass.

As already pointed out by me, and IGY, and for some reason we agree....

The fault with Reid is in the fact that he shouldn't have a route on that play not going in the endzone or right on the line. It's a bad play call followed by a bad decision by McNabb.

Agreed, really someone get me another drink!

tackling is totally overrated

General_Failure · October 22, 2006, 02:41:44 PM

Williams for 8, tacklers just dripping off him.

General_Failure · October 22, 2006, 02:42:10 PM

Williams for 5, first down.

General_Failure · October 22, 2006, 02:43:03 PM

Cole nearly gets to the Polish QB. Pass incomplete down the field.

Even if that is the case, all you have to do is run LJ to the line, have him turn around and sit there and wait. That way someone has to occupy him, and if the ball is thrown to him all he has to do is fall down.

that was one of the few times the front 4 has gotten some pressure today.

General_Failure · October 22, 2006, 02:43:34 PM

Williams for 11 on the draw. Lame stadium crew plays racecar noises.

Munson · October 22, 2006, 02:43:55 PM

Come on defense.

General_Failure · October 22, 2006, 02:44:17 PM

Williams for 7.
