Eagles/Giants Discussion/Predictions/Whatever

[Don Ho]

I feel that I should point out that Saving Private Ryan, Hannibal, Blade Runner and both Kill Bills were on during the game. As such I was able to difuse my anger marginally by flipping away when Andy Reid's fat deer-in-headlights face was on the screen.

i did the same exact thing.  Private Ryan really helped release some stress as I envisioned myself throwing hand grenades at Andy Reid and the birds sideline.

When will the farging media call-out Reid at a press conference? Who gives a fat farg if the team tries to "blackball" them. The first writer to out and out go after that mountain of a mumbling sound bite will be heralded for finally and truthfully exposing the many crevice-like folds that envelope the king who completely and utterly wears no clothing.

If the writers in the town are as tough as they think they are, then go after that farg - make him out and out say he ain't answering. Let him blow-up - and stalk off the podium. it'd be a refreshing change. Watching him lose composure is about all the entertainment left worth hoping for this season.

After I finished jumping up and down and being furious that they weren't running another play before the 2 min. warning, I thought to myself, "At least the timeout will give them extra time to get organized and come up with a play they feel good about to pick up the 1st."

...and they come up with that bullshtein.  A toss 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage... and the ol' faithful dive play for no gain when you need a yard.

i feel like the toss sweep was westbrooks fault...he had an opportunity to turn it up field and power thru...there were linebackers there closing but there was room and with his momentum he would have gained the yardage imo...instead he strung it out

i think he was trying to get to the sideline to stop the clock.

[ice grillin you]

if that was his thinking it was an even dumber play then...the clock was irrelevant there the yard meant everything

[General_Failure]

Watching the twenty seconds before the two minute warning again today, I've come up with a new theory. McNabb was tired, but Reid didn't bother to get a play in. I think that was what the hands on his hips was about, more so than the dry heaving. I think if a play had gotten in on time, it would have been run.

[ice grillin you]

personally i would have run a play there but i would have rather them get it right and pick up the first as there was plenty of time to score...to me if reid purposely let the clock run down to the warning i would gently disagree with the decision...but if they wanted to or meant to get a play in and botched it then that is where you fire people

I haven't look at a replay or anything but I thought I remembered both the LB's just sliding down the LOS stringing him out... and when Westbrook tried to power forward, one of them went for his legs (he was still about 2-3 yards back), and he tripped forward for another 2 or so.

Point being, I don't remember there being much room at all.

[ice grillin you]

there wasnt a gaping hole that he missed but he also wasnt getting swarmed....there were backers there but at the same time there was daylight...imo had he turned it up he would have gained the yardage unless there was some phenominal solo tackle...but since he was running outside in space he had good momentum and speed and with his low center of gravity power i dont think that would have happened...either way by not turning it up he gave himself zero chance to get the first

[ice grillin you]

fwiw baldy is in wip right now and said he watched the film yesterday and hes blaming westbrook as well for stretching the run out rather than cutting it up where he thinks he def could have had the first....altho hes partially blaming it on westbrook being hurt


he also said the number one thing that stood out on the film is how dominant fred robbins was against the eagles interior and on the flip side how bad bunk and patterson were against the giants line

[Feva]

So in short:

Feva > IGY and Baldy

how do you always know exactly what im thinking
