Jaguars at Eagles GAME THREAD

Although I cant really blame McNabb because of the really high winds, if he hits Reggie for that bomb TD, the Eagles would have tied it with 30 seconds left or whatever it was.

Do you honestly think that would have changed the outcome?

Maybe. Considering they lost by 7, and the momentum probably would have swung the Eagles way. Even though when the Eagles finally drove down the field and kicked a FG, the Jags just ran the ball 150 plays in a row.

There were a dozen "almosts" that could have changed this game.

If Brown (or any WR) could catch any of three balls that hit him near the hands.
If the defense could actually tackle the runner/qb on the first contact... or the second... or the thrid.
If Big Reid would actually run on 1st down - in the first quarter.
If McNabb would actually listen to his instincts and run when there's no one open in his first or second read. He took several tough sacks just trying to wait for a WR to come open.

The point is, none of this is happening - for three games.

Can't blame injuries. Or TO. Right now this is a very ~~mediocre~~ BAD football team. They're getting beat on offense, on defense, on special teams - and because of a lack of discipline.

Cramer says nobody is scared of a Jim Johnson defense anymore.

Cramer's totally wrong. I'm completely scared of Johnson's defense.

The BIGSTUD · October 29, 2006, 04:47:45 PM

McNabb played bad today, but I can't say awful. He was put in the worst position to succeed. Andy and Mart did nothing to help him today. Dreadful playcalling, dreadful execution from teammates and poor blocking in chunks. It was good in chiunks and bad in chunks. It got better as the game went along, but doesn't matter. Gotta play 60 minutes.

Word.

I don't blame the defensive scheme. They're in the right place mostly, but the bum players aren't tackling anybody.

PhillyPhreak54 · October 29, 2006, 04:57:48 PM

The tackling is a major issue.

They rarely get the fargers down at first contact. How many times did we see Taylor and Drew drag guys today? Or simply truck guys?

They are out of position a lot too. On that goddamn TD run by Taylor Darwin Walker was WAY out of position.

And on that pass play to Matt Jones Dawkins and Tito blew the coverage.

But mostly it is tackling.

That looked to be 90% Dawkins' fault.

And yes.

The Run D has always been horrible under JJ.

But now, the secondary blows in coverage, too. Plus, the D line is getting no pressure at all. Poor, poor performance.

PhillyPhreak54 · October 29, 2006, 05:06:37 PM

Like I just said in the other thread...

Trotter had 2 tackles and 1 assist.

Piss poor performance. Inexcusable and horrible job by the MLB when a team is running that much. Terrible job by Trotter.

Eaglez · October 29, 2006, 05:09:50 PM

Trotter wasn't the only one blown up all day though. McCoy was consistently blown up by their O line and FB.

Jags always had a body on someone. The running lanes were gigantic. It was like watching a college football game. The tackling just compounds the problem. I don't think one person made a nice open field tackle or stopped someone dead in their tracks.

Major yards after first contact today.

They had a nice end zone view on Taylor's TD run where you can see Trotter going in the TOTAL opposite direction that Taylor was going. He was part of the reason that hole was 18 feet wide. McCoy getting his ass blown up by the FB didn't help either.
