Eagles @ Cardinals Second Half open thread

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?

andy reid

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.

my point is the offense hasn't pulled it's weight at all this season

maybe 2-3 games. Otherwise it’s our defense that’s doing all the damage and our offense “does enough” so we don’t lose.

We are so poor at the TE position. So poor. Celek does nothing with the ball when he catches it, Smith can barely get open.

Celek is catching passes which is nice, but he goes down right away.

He had Klecko open in the flat and threw to Celek double covered
