Eagles Bengals thoughts

[mriggles]

I should really wait until tomorrow to post this, but I will try my best not to get to heated.


I am so tired of seeing the same crap every single week out of the eagles. It has gotten to the point where I Can call out from my couch (or my seat at the linc) what the eagles will do next.

This team never ever learns from its mistakes. There is no excuse for what is happening out there these days. You could make a case that this is the most talent the eagles have had under andy reid. Yet week after week, game after game all i see is sloppy, ridiculous playcalls that anyone with half a brain can see coming.


It amazes me beyond belief how cocky andy reid is. He truly believes that his game plan is so perfect, so awesome, that he never makes in game adjustments. He thinks that his plan is so good that the other team will never be able to stop us.

I have been a very loyal andy reid supporter over the past decade & with the exception of the occasional rant & rave about his decisions, I really have never lost faith in him, that is UNTIL TONIGHT.

I can't take it anymore, week after week this team is not ready to play football. There is too much talent on this team for this garbage to be taking place. There comes a time where you look at the roster from 1-52 & you see some really talented players on the roster & you scratch your head on why things aren't going better.

Andy Reid looks like he has absolutely no idea what is happening on the field during the game. I consider myself to be a pretty smart football fan & Even I can see from where ever I am what adjustments need to be made, I just dont understand why uncle andy can't see the same things that almost everyone else in the free world can see.


As for todays game, well its just more of the same. Team not ready to play, mcnabb off to slow start, the line not run blocking, drops, no emotion, yada yada yada.

This team is not good enough to think they can waltz out onto the field & cruise to a victory. If you look at todays game, the only thing you can do is scratch your head. I can't think of one thing positive on the offensive side of the ball. They just look listless out there....

DINK & DUNK, DINK & DUNK, DINK & DUNK... Hey andy it is ok once in a while to throw the ball beyond the first down marker, it is ok to be agressive, it is ok to show us that you actually care. If he cared half as much as I do, I assure you the eagles would be ready to play.

Maybe I am being to harsh on him, but when you see the same stuff, week after week, the same mistakes being made week after week, the same stubborn head coach pacing the sidelines with not one ounce of emotion on his face, i think I have the right to question him.

There is too much talent on this team for us to be 5-4 & f'n 1, it is time andy reid take some real responsibility for what the hell is happening out there.

The reality is I am stuck with him until he decides to step down, cause any eagle fan knows that as long as Jeff Lurie is there, andy is safe as the documents about the kennedy assassination.


Oh BTW I was very happy with the defense today, VERY happy with them.


Anyway the reality is this, we are 5-4-1 with an 0-3 division record & a 1-4 conference record, things are spiraling out of control really quickly here & with the schedule we face the rest of the way @ RAVENS, vs arizona, @ GIANTS vs Browns @ redskins vs dallas, Although the math says were still alive, part of me thinks the competitive portion of the eagles 2008 season is over. I hope I am wrong & i hope by some chance, the eagles get their heads out of their a**es and start playing football, but the hole is deep & the reality of that is just to real.

It could always be worse.

You could be mrlions, as in the Etroit Lions (Get it?)

yeah well with them at least you know what your going to get every week. Actually I do to, but the point is that the eagles are far to talented to be playing the way they are.... Someone needs to be held accountable

[Wreckless]

Yup. Reid doesn't make adjustments, he doesn't even know if it's OT or not. Dumbasses.

That statement doesn't do much for fans in this town because expectations were a lot higher this season. Yeah they are not the Lions but they still view a 5-4-1 record as unacceptable

[Wreckless]

Wasn't Dallas expected to be better then their record as well? Lol.

They're technically not even in the playoffs, if they started as well. I'm cool with that.

I never been a fan of-"IT COULD BE WORSE" talk-lol


I never ant to hear that when it comes to anything, women, sports, employment-lol

[Wreckless]

The defense played EXCELLENT..I don't wanna hear anything else. It was the offense, playcalling, judgement and stupidity of our head coach, receivers and quarterback that have put us in this position & made us only come out from that game with a tie vs. Cincinnati.

well I wouldn't say excellent because they did give up a TD pass that allowed the bengals to get 13 pts. I would say Good. Excellent means NO TD's

Nah I don't think so. I think if they get pass deflections, blocks, tipps, hurries, sacks (and our defense had like 7 or 8 last game), maybe an INT, a fumble....any of that, with great tackling. Mostly just smash mouth football. I think they played great. You also have to keep in mind this Solomon. The Bengals averaged a start around their 40 YARD LINE every drive, because Rocca, our punter had to punt into the wind. That's what you don't think off watching the game or analyzing it. If the defense had the Bengals offense at an average of their 25 yard line every time, It would of made for an immense difference. I think where the punter lets the other team's offense start on the field positionally, is totally key and it can add to the success or failure of a defense in a game. Defense- A+. Offense- D- Special Teams- C and Play Calling/Being Smart- D

Grades for the last game, that TIE we had lol..
