Incredibly poor display on both sides of the ball. Eagles down 24-6 in a pretty embarrassing effort. Credit to Warner though, he's killing us.

This is very reminiscent of the 2002 NFCCG against Tampa. The short pass against the Eagles’ blitz is what is killing us.

I can't think
of whether I’ve ever seen Jim Johnson get outplayed in the chess game this badly. Of course, it helps that Warner seems to know exactly what to do on each blitz and the Iggles cover guys are playing fifteen yards off the ball.

DUH?
3rd and 14 on your own thirty and you take a timeout when im sure Arizona would have took one to get the ball back. Then when they have the ball on 3rd and 14, we take a timeout?

He has an offensive coord. and an def coordinator, but he cannot manage this game. He’s a good GM, but maybe the worst coach in the NFL.
