Week 5: The Birds face the winless Niners in PRIME TIME

what about stewie!?

I find it appalling that they keep dropping Brandon Graham into coverage in the zone blitzes and also sliding him inside. Let the guy rush the farging passer and get his NFL legs under him THEN increase his responsibilities.

Also - can Boy Wonder please stop leaving Stewart Bradley exposed in coverage against the TEs?

How bout Antonio Dixon trying to cover Gore 20 yards downfield. McDermott isn't ready, he's not Harbaugh or Spagnoalo. I wouldn't mind seeing Jauron get a crack at the D. The defensive calls aren't even close.

On a sidenote, it's nice to see our old pals Chris Clemons and Justin Babin having good seasons.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Justin Bieber or Jason Babin?

I agree about Jauron.

McDermott is in over his balding red head.

al michaels made a comment about andy being more involved with the defense than ever before, even suggested he's making some calls.  did anybody else catch that?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep.

It was right after the camera showed him sending in some sort of signal in.

he looked eerily like dwight freeney on that one play where he came off the edge and had incredible hand work to get his man...he ended missing the qb but man you could see the freeney comparisons all over the map on that single move

He turns the corner well...he stays really low and I don't think I've seen him get driven back yet.

Antonio Dixon had a good game too

[PhillyPhreak54]

3rd down conversions, both for and against, were not good. Again.

And slowly but surely, J may be succumbing to the fact that the Eagles might not be a very good team....

I see my money flying outta' my pocket, and Havas having a drink, or 10, on me.

[ice grillin you]

what about stewie!?

he is the king of making tackles four yards down the field

[Drunkmasterflex]

In fairness to Bradley he is coming off an ACL injury that usually takes two seasons to come back from.  The defense played better but they really suck at coming up with stops when they need them. 

And while this team isn't all that great right now they are 3-2 and not one team in the NFL looks unbeatable right now.  And this team always plays better in the second half of the season under Reid.

over 38 in this game is a lead piper

bonus points FF?

he wasnt that good before the injury and i dont wanna hear that two year shtein...that might have been the case in the 70's when doctors were still using hack saws...plus he had his injury before last season...it wasnt like jamal jackson who got hurt in december
