Eagles v Pats Game thread *Merged*

[Da Hammer]

what the hell kind of playcall was that?

 

[kingwhicker]

Well, so much for that.

 

[Achozen]

So they go conservative again...

I think Skyler Green was worst.

He was bad but Mahe is no threat whatsoever. They only have him because he never fumbles like whoever the eagles had early in the year and blew that game, i think it was against the packers actually.

Hopefully the Eagles can stop the pats again, but theres no guarantee. Any failure on offense can be deadly here for the Eagles

 

[StylisticS]

They're just choosing not to run the ball. They realized a long time ago that you don't have to run the ball to win.

But wouldn't you think they need to start trying to establish a run game before the playoffs? Because the weather will get colder and they will need to have at least a little balance.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Did he get the boot again?

who signed him after Cincy cut him?

 

[theogt]

Yeah, apparently they forgot that the Patriots have the best offense ever to play the game.

 

[jdnoyes]

its been like that all season they can't run the ball there has been probably two games where they had a good rushing performance

Really we don't know if they can run the ball or not because they don't try. They are just arrogant. "We'll pass all day and we dare you to stop us" If they don't start protecting Brady better and become more balanced, he's going to take a hit that he won't get up from.

It's Mcnabb birthday too.:laugh2:

Haha, thats why he didnt fly with the team, hes probably having a party at his house.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

This offense really reminds me of the Eagles from a few years ago. They had so much success throwing the ball around that they forgot to run it. Belicheat's gotten too cocky. He'll prove that the can throw it on anyone even if they know it's coming.

Great story about the '50s Browns not throwing a single pass in a game...

But wouldn't you think they need to start trying to establish a run game before the playoffs? Because the weather will get colder and they will need to have at least a little balance.

No, because you can throw in cold and rainy weather just fine.

 

[ajk23az]

who signed him after Cincy cut him?

I think hes still a FA, NFL.com has him on the Bengals yet.

 

[Da Hammer]

haha Maroney in

It was a good TD but should have been looked at.

That is good evidence of his feet. Can you see if he had control at the same time?

 

[tomson75]

I hadn't realized that cincy cut him...seemed like he was getting some chances there. IIRC he even got to play WR for a few snaps.

He's now apparently on their practice squad again.

I can just imagine McNabb inviting all his "friends" to his party and only Hugh Douglas showing up.

the slants to Welker are the extension of a running game, it nets them 4-5 yards every time

 

[sacowboysfan513]

Because he was able to get that First down, they will probably score on this drive.

 

[kingwhicker]

I bet that crowd is nervous and antsy as can be.
