McNabb's Injury

The BIGSTUD · November 19, 2006, 09:41:10 PM

The offense took them to the Superbowl that year. The defense in 04 was better than it was now, but still, it was all about the offense that year. The defense got exposed in the Superbowl and has been garbage since.

All I know is that Frank Gore ran for 212 yards against Ray Rhodes' defense today.

I have enough faith to think that Reid will run the ball, and it will turn into a 3-headed monster type thing.

Ha! Somebody's not been paying attention if you've got any "faith" in Reid to run anything. By now... if you expect Andy to budge at all on the run/pass ratio... then I don't know what to tell you.

Also... to run a 3 headed monster effectively... you've got to have the personell to do it... which we don't.

Westbrook = Westbrook
Buckhalter 2003 >>> Buckhalher 2006
Duce Staley >>>>>>>>>>> Ryan Moats

It's not so much faith in Reid as it is in the fact that he's going to have to run the ball now. He has no effective QB (Feeley may be servicable at best), and he knows that the city and the media will ahve his head if he doesn't run the ball now, without McNabb. I know it's hard to beleive, but this is the same guy who ran it in 2003 just becausue McNabb was off to a slow start with the thumb injury. If he ran more with an ineffective McNabb, I think his hand will be forced and he'll have to run with no McNabb at all.

It will be thier only chance to win any game for the rest of the season.

Or, at the very least, we're going to go back to the dink 'n dunk offense with Garcia at the helm, which is about as effective as a 3 yard running play anyway. Just ask the taterskins. Ugh.

As for the personell....The offensive line is a lot more beefy now then it was then....and just having Jackson instead of Fraley and Andrews instead of Mayberry makes it that much better.

Westy/Buck have been getting it done when given the very little oppertunities they've been given...now it's time to bring Moats into the mix and see what he's got. If he's no good, lets make sure we give him the oppertunities to prove it this year so we can cut him and find someone else next year.

Stop hating Andy Reid?

Okay. I'm a little suprised this is coming from you though.

Eskin:

From people he's talked to and things he'd heard from people about this injury, McNabb probably will miss games next season too, but only in September.

QB Eagles · November 20, 2006, 12:20:18 AM

Way too early to speculate about that. It's certainly possible, but the impact on next season is just guesswork this early on.

Quasimoto · November 20, 2006, 12:29:13 AM

Blow up the whole thing. From Reid to McNabb to Westbrook it's time to start over.

MDS · November 20, 2006, 01:24:23 AM

I'm wonder who is net. Kearse was a given to wear down. McNabb you had to figure. Westbrook is next. Maybe Stallworth for good. They are all bitches. I hate football.

This team is simply not the same without Ike Reese.

its not the same without ray rhodes defenders

andy lived off that shtein for three years...last couple years hes actually had to put forth an effort to build his own team....we are now seeing the results

What? Look at the defense that took them to the Super Bowl it was mostly AR players.

Yeah, I forgot how that '98 team really tore shtein up on the defensive side on the ball.

The BIGSTUD · November 20, 2006, 01:50:53 AM

I think the Eagles should bring back neckbeard and let him run wild. At least provide some comic relief if we are going to suck badly for the final 6 games.

shorebird · November 20, 2006, 05:44:55 AM

I'd like to see a better angle on the play were he got injured. Only one angle was shown and you could'nt see shtein. The only pic shows a knee thats swelled up pretty bad.

It did'nt look like he went down hard at all. What the farg happened!?!?!

ice grillin you · November 20, 2006, 06:09:52 AM

and he knows that the city and the media will ahve his head if he doesn't run the ball now

haha....you act like he cares what the city thinks

and even if youre right and hes now forced to run the ball who cares?...we want him to choose to run the ball more because thats how you win in the nfl...not because he doesnt have a qb that can throw it
