Some people here just don't get it. The Saints were using deuce and pounding it out and the birds could not stop them. WHY NOT WAIT untill they did before trying to get cute? And a toss like that IS a risky play- NO MATTER what time of year you do it in. Timing has to be perfect and there is less margin for error there then in a short passing play.


howcome it worked perfectly for the eagles on the previous series?

Because westbrook caught it? Or was it less risky for the eagles to run that play down 6 in the 4th quarter of a playoff game on the road.

You need to get your story straight. If it is too risky then howcome the eagles did it? Howcome it worked perfectly for the eagles? Was it any less risky?

the answer is westbrook caught it and bush did not....end of story.

Players make mistakes and coaches get blamed, that is the way it has always been.

Its like a student who fails a test and the parents attack the teachers and the school board.

Sometimes players make mistakes. Its human nature, its athletics.

the saints overcame that mistake by bush because they are a good team. Give credit to the coaches for that and stop blaming the coaches for bush's fumble.

Look at boise states win over ou. If those plays in the end didnt work and the players fumbled, the whole nation would have attacked the coaches and the program and called them stupid and too risky plays. The players executed perfectly, they won...coaches are heroes for making the game fun and taking risks.

DID not blame the coaches for the fumble- I blame the play call for putting the team in the position of almost losing it there. COME ON. WHY take a risk when YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE A RISK. You are ahead - its late in the 4th- you are running the ball WELL on simple low risk plays. Why take ANY CHANCE- WHY RISK IT?

your ducking the obvious.

The eagles ran the exact play, with a fb fake dive toss left to westbrook, it was a big play on the series they kicked a field goal to make it 3 point game.

How is it any less risky for a team losing on the road in the playoffs?

it isnt, bush fumbled, end of story.

If you cannot see that it was a needless risk then that is your fault.

Guys, Guys. C'mon. Like another thread here says. The NFL is rigged. As soon as Bush fumbled. The NFL was in Andy Reid's headset telling him to make sure they didnt score. hahahahahahaha!!!!!!


FOr the record. It was a terrible call in that situation IMO. Payton was lookin for a big play to seal the deal. But i didnt like that call at all.
