I love Sheldon, but he gets burned too often by big receivers.

Edwards is really getting the best of Brown. Sheldon is doing his best, but Edwards has got great size.

He is turned around every time and isn’t making a play on the ball at all, and that is no good.

reposting from the first half

I don’t know if this’s been discussed (dog needed out), but I wanted to note that on Asante’s TD…
1) He dropped the ball outside of the end zone on purpose.
and,
2) after he picked it up – he celebrated (by himself) like DeSean and Quentin.
I’m behind again (out till next commercial)

He can steal all the X-Boxes he wants so long as he can cover big receivers. Burress won’t be a problem, unless he goes to Dallas and I can see that happening, but Washington drafted two big WRs this year, and Williams is a big dude too.

My wife needs like 30 fantasy points from Avant tonight. I’m like “come on, this is already the best game he’s ever had!”

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

Avant is a really good football player. I think he has the hands and the route running ability to start. His speed leaves something to be desired, but for some people that doesn’t matter.

Not on offense at least… This is the early season Eagles all over. Moving the ball with ease until they hit the red zone. The Browns are barely putting up a fight between the 20s.

We have a pretty commanding lead right now. So if we follow the script Reid always claims he goes by… we’ll start to run the game out from this point on. He always says he wants to throw to get a lead and run to kill the game.

Watch the DB’s. They’re bailing out before the snap, or the safeties are lining up deep. I think it’s respect for Curtis and DJ’s speed.

I’m not sure.
I think the Eagles are really good at running out of a pass look.
Shotgun, 3 and 4 wide, but not so much in power situations.
I’m behind on rewinding games (first half of the Cards game), but really feel like the birds are running better when it looks like they’re going to pass.

Threw on first again. Ran on second. Now it’s third and short. Most often, that’s a pass. Inc means Akers. (Which AR has as his press conference excuse already.) Complete for a first, and it’s all pass from here to the end of the drive.

I think he’s a good role player. I think he showed his limitations as a regular in 2005, but in a limited number of snaps, he’s very productive when he’s in the game.

Interesting that he’s active over Reggie Brown, isn’t it? The seldom-used by functional spare part over the underacheiving “regular”.

(I like Reggie…I wish he’d play better. But right now, DJ, HB3, Avant and Baskett are all playing better in their roles than he is)

every time the announcers talk about how all Andy Reid does is win and the Philly fans just can’t relate to him (this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this – in fact, it might have been Kornheiser the last time too), I wan’t to add yes, but you understand, he hasn’t won a Superbowl. He hasn’t won a Superbowl.

Oh Christ now Jaws is on it too. Though it’s a good point about Vermeil.

Finally Jaws gets in that he hasn’t won a championship. It’s been 48 years. The Iggles are eventually going to be the Boston Red Sox of the NFL: the team that’s consistently good, has passionate fans, but can never win a championship.

In theory, yes, they could.

I think the rule is: You can switch your first 2 QBs around any time in the first 3 quarters, but if you put the 3rd QB in, you can’t put the other 2 back in unless the 3rd QB (who is the “emergency qb”) gets hurt.

In the 4th quarter, I think you can just go nuts.

I’m starting to think so. 10-6 teams don’t get blown up. 10-6 coaches don’t get fired. The experience of this season is worse than it actually is (sorry, I know that doesn’t actually make sense) because of the way the losses/tie happened and our high expectations.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

we will be 10-5-1

just bustin balls.

If this somehow gets close, Mcnabb’s back in there. No problem.

Alright

c’mon Chargers and Vikings.

And hopefully the Skins are completely demoralized now.

No it’s fine. McNabb doesn;t need to be in there. Game is over. We just need to kill it off now. McNabb and Westbrook need to be protected.

Did you guys also know that McNabb got booed at the draft?

And there’s a jail in the stadium?

What people seem to forget, no matter how good Kolb eventually gets, he’s likely to suck for a year or two. Anybody who wants to see McNabb our better be willing to put up with a few years of fourth-place finishes.

I think Favre's first pass

was an INT. Not surprising…

listen to this wise man

we’re prolly better off with mcnabb for at least other year.

by DeafJesse on Dec 15, 2008 11:18 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

For years, I listened to people say, “McNabb and Reid are too close. McNabb needs to be more of his own man.” Now that there is a “fissure,” all I hear is “Oh noes. There’s tension between Mcnabb and Reid. One of them has to go.”

by Tracer Bullet on Dec 15, 2008 11:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

If they finish out these last games, play offs or not, I believe they both are staying. Well Lurie wont let them go.

I believe you Whodie, but I still think his arm doesn’t look very strong.

I guess I’m used to McNabb, but Kolb just looks so small, too. Like Koy Detmer.

I don’t remember off the cuff but after his workout he was considered to have the best arm in the draft.

He’s a hard runner. Is he under contract for next year?

If he isn’t he will be easy enough to lock up.

He’s a local guy, and hasn’t played much. I think we can have him back in camp if we want him. Which, I think we do!

I think he signed a 2 or 3 year deal. IT’s that standard contract guys like that sign. A few years but no guaranteed money.

by JasonB on Dec 15, 2008 11:22 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Alright we get it

you guys love Reid. And no one disputes what he’s done. But, um, isn’t the idea of being a football fan that you want your team to win a Super Bowl eventually? So, Philly fans are demanding because we’re frustrated that the team has never won a Super Bowl?

by sdf on Dec 15, 2008 11:20 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

of course I want to win the super bowl

… reid’s been a great coach except for some suspect play calling, mismanagement of time outs and inability to fill certain holes. I know, I’m stating the obvious. My point is, we know he’s brougfht winning to philly but we wish he didn’t have these flaws. if he didn’t we’d have had a ring by now,

Kolb

about that int… next time he’ll hang onto it and take the sack? good learning experience for him. (I didnt actually witness the play – i was in the john – so if im off base, correct me)

C'mon Vikings

and maybe the Chargers will be energized by that comeback last week. And the Bucs have been sinking, though I can see Gruden getting them to put it together at home.

by sdf on Dec 15, 2008 11:26 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

still in with a chance
what time is that game next week.
Donkeys play at 4

Bucs-Chargers

is at 1, Vikings-Falcons at 4.

Major issues for TB this week

Garcia, two starting defenders injured, and Kiffin announcing his Rocky Top gig. They’re ready to sink.

tonight worked out nicely

for me….i was leading by 58 over my opponent who had westbrook and mcnabb. if mcnabb’d thrown 4 tds to westie… dang, and if we’d won, Id be happy the eagles won but… as it is, I got what i needed… an eagles win and not too many points by westbrook and mcnabb. god i feel so conflicted and dirty.

Not if the defense played the way they did. The Browns did nothing on offense.

The Eagles offense certainly could have done better, but the defense probably couldn’t have.

Not sure it would've been a loss to another team

We put up 30 points and really only gave up 3 (in a real game, Kolb wouldn’t have been in)

I’m in a suicide pool pick one team every week to win lose and your out can’t take the same team twice, 3 people left other 2 took the Birds if they would have lost $500 in my pocket … I’m glad I’m not $500 richer. Way to go Birds.
