Anybody else notice when Cassel killed the play that we ran every single time and the Eagles knew we were, and would meet Dmac in the backfield every time?

It must have happened at least 6-8 times. It was so obvious, that they knew what we were doing. Ridiculous!!

Yep... I noticed that too. You knew it was run every stinking time.

YES! I tweeted that question last night. To me, it seemed like every time it was yelled, run up the middle. I'm not sure if he ever called that and it was pass. Talk about telegraphing your plays.

They knew what GAP to hit as well, and it wasn't Collins best game either

Just like the pick 6, as soon as that play started, I said....oh crap....well, that is the PG rated post version.....
it was predictable, that play never works for us, even Romo threw picks on the play.

I think they were going to run on those plays anyways...I think they were just changing the line and gaps.

The reason I say this was it was odd how many times they would go out there without anyone in the backfield and in the second half when they did bring a RB in they would run it almost every time vs the pass with an open backfield.

So again..not sure the Kill Kill Kill was to change it from a pass to a run in this game.

I called it in chat early in the second half. Kill kill kill was always a speed run to the wide side. If a couch potato like me can see it, you better believe Philly was clicking their chops at the mere mention.

Thanks for mentioning the predictability of the offense last night. They went from running it on virtually every play McFadden was in the backfield, to using empty sets to broadcast to the defense that they were throwing it.

This offense and play calling manages to take predictability to a whole new level.

:facepalm:

Omg. The empty backfield sets.... Just brilliance beyond belief.

Oh, no, not just you. I and many other commented that it was obvious every "Kill Kill Kill" turned into a run.

@cowboyszone is it me or did an inordinate number of Cassel audibles end up being blown up in the backfield?

I didn't think he was actually "killing" anything. Probably would've did better just throwing it everytime he killed.

Come on man, they changed it up with a kill kill kill play and ran right instead of left once. That should have thrown the Def off.
