It's swell to dream.....say Reid gets canned....

[ice grillin you]

the second they lined up for that last run you could see the entire giant linebacking corps shift to the left...it was amazing to see it happen...they knew EXACTLY what was coming and where it was coming to

[Feva]

jj's gotta go too.
when they blitzed the corner and left dawk 1-on-1 with plax, i think the entire stadium knew it was gonna be a td.

Don't know what the hell JJ was thinking there.  You'd think he learned their lesson when he left Dawk on an island with TO... which also ended in a TD.

I didn't see the LB's shifting.  Like a little Hoyda, I chose not to look.

In general, the blitz was fairly effective last night against Eli.  It wasn't really getting there, but he was getting happy feet and making some bad throws.

Still, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Magical_Retard]

the whole game embodied everything that has been wrong with this team and coach for 10 yrs.

slow start by mcnabb
terrible playcalling
terrible challenges:time management
defense that can not stop the run
defense that has no pass rush
blitzes which leave ppl on a island one on one

you could see eli and plax signal to each other once they knew sheldon was coming in for the blitz.

and with all that to think they still had a chance at the end.

there were very few downs they actually had to pass. most of the game they just ran for big chunks and picked up first downs. in fact i would get happy when they would pass....could lead to a incomplete and stop the clock.

this RUN D blows. i know they are good but this was just terrible.

[ice grillin you]

i couldnt get over how bad the d line was getting blown back...a few times it looked like they were playing seven linebackers because right after the snap the lineman were with the backers four yards deep

and speaking of the linebackers they are horrid...cant tackle and they let another te have a career day against them

[Magical_Retard]

i know he got burned for the TD but the only one on D that really looked like he showed up was Dawkins.

that 3rd down play where it was almost a certainly jacobs would fall fwd and land on the first down marker....dawkins came and knocked him back.

we need 10 more guys with his attitude and lack of fear.

I was having this arguement with one of the board's two 'tards after the game last night in the game thread. While I agree that for the most part, these linebackers as a unit are average at best, it is hard to grade them and make any kind of real evaluation when Laws, Patterson, Bunkley, and whoever else they line up at DT are getting blown back into them. There were a couple running plays where I saw the DTs in a full on back pedal or getting knocked directly into a linebacker.

only gives reid another excuse to draft another lackluster high motor DT with one of the top picks in next yrs draft.

[Magical_Retard]

and since we are throwing out names of coaches who will never be hired since reid will never be fired...

why not spags? he seems like a smart young coordinator who is a firey guy. he knows the team pretty well and would probably hire a real offensive coordinator since he would be mostly taking care of the defense.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He already turned down the skins for a head coaching job.  I can't imagine why he'd go back to Philly.

[Seabiscuit36]

Im pretty sure it was known that he didnt want the job because of Danny

[Magical_Retard]

well assuming reid is fired or resigns...

the eagles job is very lucrative. two first round draft picks. a QB and RB in place. rookie WR who is showing signs.

oh and thats also assuming mcnabb is still on the team. even if he is let go you have two first round picks.

[henchmanUK]

I would shoot my load if we hired Cowher or Steve Spag.

I am watching the Simpsons where Homer coaches the Wildcats. I want Ned Flanders as coach and Nelson Muntz as quarterbacks. I won't give you a B but I'll tear you a new A.
