dudes BP must be thru the roof!

you're really setting yourself up for trouble by expecting a lot from your team if you're an eagles fan.

time to temper down and get back to reality. chip kelly is not the savior after all.

I know he's an Eagles fan and the video is pretty amusing as a Cowboys fan, but I know that pain. You invest so much in your team and when things aren't going well, it just rips your guts out and makes you wonder whether it's worth it. Of course, you always come back. You can't help yourself.

I give Demeco Ryans props for having a little class. He didn't take the bate on the Romo injury situation.

• Byron Maxwell commented after the game that the reason why he gave up that final touchdown to Williams was that he was "only human" and "tired." This has enraged the fan base here.!

Uh, no. He got burned. It was beautiful.

Have to admit, with Weeden in the game and Dallas up 13-3 with 4 minutes left, I'm sure the last thing the Eagles thought was that we'd throw the ball on a slightly more aggressive route.
Very, very easy pitch and catch touchdown.
It showed Linehan had confidence in Weeden right there...but they knew the Eagles wouldn't at all be expecting that play.

All credit goes to linehan, weeden and Terrence not maxwell being tired.

But he has a big bad line here. Which is why I had no issue giving him a deal/ Front load it for his best years. They are smart. They could have figured it out.

We are worse off in the run game without him. He is worse off without us. It was a perfect match.

Because as good as this line us, what we have now is not working at all.

Well we will have to disagree here. I think we can get a better RB with more explosiveness that gave us what Murray did for cheaper. Im quite sure the plan was to take someone in the draft and that didnt happen. So this will have to wait till next year. I completely agree he is better than anyone we currently have, but that is besides the point. And considering the season killing injuries we have had Im even more happy with didnt pay him big money.

 

[CowboyRoy]

LOL Murray had the most yards out of any RB after contact. He also averages almost 5 yards a carry. What has our RBs done lately?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind having him back. Don't think Randle can handle it and he surely not as good as Murray.

Randle is out rushing Murray after two games. Murray has 2 yards total in two games rushing. Enough said.

Would I take Murray over Randle, certainly for even money and even Oline. But my personaly preference is a young stud RB in the draft for cheap. I cant help it that Jones thought that McChicken was a great RB option and allowed them to pass over the best RB draft in many years.

has Howard Eskin fled the country yet?

Why are we comparing Randle to Murray or vice versa? Yes we all know Murray is awful in Philly and thats truly obvious.

But that isn't the point. The point is we let Murray leave so easily without even addressing the issue. Then everyone said that we don't need a RB because anyone can run behind this oline. Well guess what? Not anyone can run behind this oline. RBBC is not as effective of giving it to Murray and our run game is just not as effective as last years. In fact, its a non factor this past two games.

Letting Murray leave and not addressing the RB has affected this team. We seem to be more pass heavy. Which them put the burden on Romo and thus led to his demise.

If we had kept Murray or drafted another RB maybe we wouldn't have passed in that situation where Romo got injured. Who knows. But I think Karma is biting Dallas pretty hard right now don't you think?

The core issues on here have been this:

1. Was Murray worth the contract he signed or big money to resign him? I said no way and so far year to date that is looking good.

2. Is it more the line or the RB. We can see quite clearly takes both, but my opinion has been that its more about the line.

3. Is the current stable of backs good enough even with this line. I said they weren't and thus far that is also looking good.

My philosophy is pretty consistent. Pay the line, not the back. Unless that back is really special like Emmitt or Tomlinson, ect....ect. Murray is NOT that special back.
Everything was fine until they didnt sign a good back in FA, or didnt draft a young back in the draft. For my money, its time to see what Michaels can do.

I also absolutely agree that leaning on these backs is a problem and that Romo going down is a result of that. I tried to tell this to one IDGIT, but he swore up and down that the brass "knew what winning games is all about"

The fact that passing more is more risky in both turnovers and health of Romo he and others didnt want to hear. Its rather ironic that the first game we had 3 turnovers and the 2nd game Romo got hurt.

Ha! Love it!

EDIT: lol, I watched the pre-game video and he yelled, "I'm tired of being a (bleeping) loser!"

 

[RunDMC]

Was anybody else nervous that they were going to put in Sanchez? I never thought I would say that, or even think that but I was. Bradford is awful!

No because Sanchez sucks too.

 

[RunDMC]

What an idiot. Seems like something an Eagles would do.

ENJOY!

I'll bet Maxwell never played that many snaps in one game in Seattle,,, ever!

1. Was worth Murray worth the contract? If he would have helped us get to the playoffs and to the Superbowl than absolutely YES!

His contract with Philly was just 2 million more each year. Thats like 9 million per. year.That may seem pretty expensive for a runningback. However, thats less than what were paying Brandon Carr right now. Honestly, I would over spend a little in order for us to get to the Superbowl. Believe me....2 million more per. year is not that much in my opinion. Especially if it would keep the running game in tact for a few years. But thats just me.

2. Is it more the line or the RB? Well we all know that Murray got help from the oline in Dallas last year. So thats pretty obvious. The question should be who did we replace Murray with when he left? So far, we really didn't replace Murray at all and our offense hasn't been the same since he left.

3. Is the current stable of backs good enough? Don't think so. The RBBC has failed to impress so far. Randle is too easy to tackle and doesn't even warrant an extra man in the box. Macfadden had a few good runs but thats it. And Dunbar is more of a receiver rather than a runner. So for now the current stable has not been good in the run game.

 

[JDSmith]

I have seen nothing from Murray this year to indicate that he'd be doing better behind this line with this blocking. Our backs are getting the yards that are there, Murray might be fighting for one or two more yards here and there, but he'd also be putting us at the risk of fumbling while he fought for those yards. He is still carrying the ball too loosely.

Randle did a good job vs Philly, their front 7 didn't give up much space and our RBs didn't have anyplace to really go.

that dude was TRIPPIN!!!!!

 

[FLcowboy]

LOLcopter.

I mean, seriously. 0-2 teams make the playoffs about 11% of the time. Weeden, as bad as he was in Cleveland, still won about one in every three or four games. If he can keep that pace, the team will be 4-5 by the time Romo gets back.

Weeden's record in Cleveland was based on a less than top notch roster of talent. He just might be better than we gave him credit.

Are you serious? Aren't we all adults here? Wow.

No. Why would you think everyone here is an adult?
