Can I get a FARG Dallas? (Game moved from 1 to 4:15)

[ice grillin you]

not to mention had Akers made it nobody would be bitching...plus he missed it by a toenail

quite the opposite....me and my man both looked at each other in amazement as akers was coming out and said even if he makes this its a wave the white flag move

plus he missed it by a toenail

thats comforting

theres no such thing as being on fire from 50+ yards...its a low % play for even the best kickers and is a crap shoot at best

17-0 at half isnt a blowout?....even if you dont believe that you had to follow the game to know that 17-0 was not even close to as bad as the game actually was

before that fg attempt dallas drives consisted of 11 - 13 - 10 and 8 plays respectively

fully aware igy, but reid does not think like that...never has. hes not going to show a defeated attitude at the start of the 3rd quarter and go for it. he has too much confidence in akers

you get the 3 points, you look for a turnover on defense that gets you right back in the game with another score. the argument is valid had it been the 4th.

[ice grillin you]

no one is arguing what reid thinks like....weve all seen it for over a decade....just that his decision was atrocious

[Tomahawk]

my impatience wanted them to go for it obviously because they down 17-0, but you cant fault a team going for the 3 points at the start of the 3rd quarter, and if successful only being down 2 scores.

akers was on fire making fg's up to that point.

if the defense wasnt so horrible AND if it was like a 35 yard fg AND it was 3rd and 8 that might be valid


in that situation down 17 going for an extremely low % three points with only two yards to go was beyond stupid

Sadly I wouldn't be shocked if Reid called for a 35 yard field goal try on 3rd and 8

why in the hell is any arguing with a special needs student like reese

I was watching it with a bunch of my friends and pretty much no one could understand why they went for a FG at that distance. 

[NC_Eagle]

The only hopeful thing I can think of is that the Eagles were playing conservative and resting up for the playoffs.

Or it could just be that Reid can't prepare the team for a big game. Sigh.

[General_Failure]

Resting them for the playoffs. You know when's a good time to do that? The bye week they could have earned.

[PhillyPhreak54]

"We can't get embarrassed like that again on Saturday night," an unnamed veteran player told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, "or a lot of guys will lose their job."

[JackStraw]

Any chance its a fat Mormon with a recent contract extension? A loss like that just might be a win.

[BigEd76]

well there aren't many veteran players on the team, so that pretty much limits it to McNabb, Sheldon, Trotter, Akers, Howard and Curtis.  Which one is buddies with Sal Pal?

[Eagles_Legendz]

Doubt it's Akers and Curtis didn't play.  Trotter might be buddies since he's been around for a while, but there should be 0% chance he's back anyway.  I can't imagine McNabb talks to Sal Pal, so that leaves Sheldon and Howard.  I don't think Sheldon gives a farg about the organization or has any worries of being cut, so if I had to pick someone from that list it'd be Howard.

technically veteran = anyone but a rookie...especially if sal pal wants to really protect his source

anway every linebacker but bradley could/should be gone (this includes real veterans like gaither - gocong - witherspoon - jordan)

every DE cept killa (this includes veterans juqua - clemons - abiamiri - howard)

mikell gone

sheldon could be gone

shtein even samuel who along with killa posesses the only blatant talent on the defense has mostly only shown up this year against zesty quarterbacks

his picks this year against delhomme - josh johnson - jemarcus russell - alex smith - orton - jason campbell

not saying hes gone because he isnt just saying everyone on the defense this year is up for reevaluation this year

point being theres a very healthy list of "veterans" that could be talking to sally

If that were an all or nothing deal with them being gone, I'd take it. Except Akers, but I doubt his job is in jeopardy anyway.

[Eagaholic]

Probably nobody said it. Sal Pal just makes shtein up to stir the pot. Laziest reporter in the media.
