I was hoping for a QB sneak when we were on the 2 foot line. And it looked like we got a good surge by Gurode up the middle at the snap, but it closed up before MBIII got there...

We're 4th in the league in scoring. We've had 53 possessions in the Red Zone and scored TDs on 33 of them, 3rd best in the NFL.

Holy cripes I know the need to whine is overwhelming, but can we contain it to the stuff we are actually doing wrong?

You make good points. However, when we're in big games we can't simply line up and do the same things against winning teams that we do against average teams week to week. Please don't mention the Colts. :rolleyes: They've gone down the slippery slope of crapola even harder than we have since we beat them.

I'll ignore the rest of your post.

you know a few years back an unnamed Cowboys coach (switzer)
went for it twice on 4th down against the eagles ( with the all time leading rusher no less) and he was crucified for his actions.
personally i was in favor of going for it then and i was in favor of going
for it last week also.
funny how parcells didnt catch near the heat that "the bootleggers boy"
did.

I've been in Lincoln Financial Field (last year) and heard that E * A * G * L * E * S Eagles!!!! Chant over and over and over echoing throughout the stadium. It's really quite lame and annoying. Beer, when siphoned in large quantities, does crazy things to the mind.

We're 3rd inthe league in scoring in the red zone, and you think we should change things up in big games?

Please, end the ignorance.

Complain all you want about the defense. Whatever makes you feel better. But teams like the Colts or Chargers dont change their fundamental approach when they get inside the 20, and insinuating that we should is beyond ********.

Seriously, find something else to whine about. You look like a friggin imbecile harping on one of the few things we have consistently done well all year.

As I complain I see you will continue to ignore the obvious deficiencies on the defensive side of the ball. You and I are going nowhere fast. Therefore, let me end by saying...


























































nothing more.

if we pass and don't score, everyone would be screaming about not giving the ball to MBIII. they manned up, we didn't.

Agreed. There is no need to get tricky inside the 1 yard line.

Guys, seriously. Click that link to Shango's show and watch his complete week 12 commentary. pay specific attention to the highlights of the game against TB. whatch how we get the ball to MB3 for two touchdowns. It worked both times because TB's defense lined up just knowing we would try to jam it down their collective throats with MB3.

I don't think anyone is saying we should totally abandon our patented "ram it down your throat within the 5 with MB3" attitude. Just mix it up everyonce in awhile. Especially against the better teams in the league.

You fail to see the point, it was not bad play calling the players did not take care of their job. This ideal that if you run my play we would have scored is BS and had the pass failed or was picked you would be in here hollering why did we not run the ball. From the 1 yard line you expect your guys to do their job if they fail it is on them not the coaches. Sorry but I hate this arm chair coaching after the fact.
