Has BP been holding back, waiting on the Philly game?

[LPW]

I wonder if the reason our game planning has been so vanilla the last few weeks is that BP has been saving some of the wrinkles of our new 3-4 defense and some newly designed offensive plays to use for the first time against Philly. Has he left them in the playbook and not put them on game tape for Philly to see and prepare for?

BP knows a win against our stiffest competition would be a major psychological boost to his young team. He also knows he will need to pull out all stops to win this game because the Eagles are still a better team than us. I fully expect BP to come out very aggressive against Philly and show a lot of new things we haven’t done before.

We gave up two winnable games by being too conservative, but beating Philadelphia would make it worthwhile. Here is what I want to see from BP, Payton, and Zimmer:

• I want to see Julius and Tyson running plays designed to get to the outside
• I don’t want to see all the runs straight up the middle of the line for only 1 or 2 yards
• I want to see some of the exotic blitz schemes this 3-4 defense is supposed to include
• I don’t want to see DeMarcus Ware pass defending against TO or any other WR for that matter
• I want to see some deep passes, early and often
• I don’t want to see 4th down passes short of the sticks
• I want to see Peerless Price an essential part of the game plan.
• I don’t want to see us playing only to get into good enough field position for field goal attempts, we need TDs
• I want to see Witten being used a lot, especially at the end zone
• I don’t want to see McNabb sitting there and having time to eat a bowl of chunky soup before our pass rush/dawdle allows him to throw for yet another long completion
• I want to see Glover and Ellis and Sprears and Canty putting hits on McNabb’s sternum and groin/sports hernia
• I don’t want to see our secondary give up a long touchdown pass for the fourth straight game
• I want Roy to make TO look just like he does in my avatar


What do you guys want?

 

[kingwhicker]

Yes, he only wants to win the two games against Philly. Anything else is just gravy.

 

[TheHustler]

I sure hope not....

 

[Vertigo_17]

And we let Wash win so that we can beat them later this year

 

[MikeD17]

this is just a horrid thread. i mean seriously , its just plain ....... im going to go puke now. :bang2:

 

[dragon_mikal]

Don't feel bad, I just posted a very similar thread without knowledge of your thread. I'm sure I will be attacked as well, I for one would not dismiss the notion.

 

[Portland Fanatic]

I finally get it now...we lose several games in order to not show our hand to Philly. Ahhhhh...the light bulb went on.

 

[Vertigo_17]

I just can't see BP purposely going into the game not to win it.

 

[KingTuna]

I would say it is wishful thinking that we have held back in 4 games just for the Eagles game.

However, It's nice to think there is SOME method to the madness of offensive playcalling we've seen thus far.

SO, YEAH, That's it!! Sounds good to me.....

whatever helps you sleep at night

Yea, 49ers spent several years building a team to beat the Cowboys and then the Green Bay Packers spanked em for years. I love it. We can't be one dimensional. If we are so concerned about beating the Eagles, we will be losers in the end. It's all about match-ups and come playoff time all bets are off. Bottom line though with the Eagles- we must protect our house! If Owens even looks at the star, tear his head off.

Puhleaze. He'll be dancing and anything else he wants to do on that star all day long. And the only thing our players will do is hang dog their heads and sulk over to the sideline so Purcells can yell at them and overcuss to the camera.

Who is Purcells? Man I hope we got a new OC...oh please please!

 

[TobiasEagle77]

It's possible.

Plus I want a Dallas Win. Because a Dallas W would make the mighty Washington Commanders 2 up on the Eagles in the NFC East race.
