lesean mccoy is as good a running back as this team has ever had. it's about time people start realizing it.
hmm, where i have i heard this before. :think:
why were you guys pounding McCoy into the line during lasat 5 minutes of the game with a 34-7 lead.
RB's only have so many carriers in their career, no sense in wasting them in a meaningless situtation. Bring in the second or third string guy for those last few carriers.
just noticed this....i don't know. i think deon lewis was inactive but ronnie brown was still there.
i think mccoy finished 20 yards short of the eagles all time record. maybe andy was trying to let him have a shot at that? i agree with you though. i would have taken vick out too at that point.
It's about time we played a 60 minute game. Pj hawks u change ur mind yet? Shady just might be Barry Sanders mistresses son.
juggler i'd love to see reid comparison's against guys like cowher, gruden, and coughlin. and bellicheck is a convicted cheater who may have stole our super bowl title so fuck him.
never said mccoy wasn't great and no doubt he is having a great season and was awesome last night, but i'm sure all you geniuses in here are aware, and if watched on tv you know since they pointed it out at least 3 times last night, the cowboys played their safeties 20-30 yards down the field on every play because they were more afraid of...wait for it...wait for it...the pass. which is all the argument i had made weeks ago that the 1st option teams look to stop is not mccoy. again nothing against mccoy and not saying he isn'g great but that he is not the 1st option defenses stop is just a fact. but no reason for even a little bit of negativity today.
.
actually you haven't called him great. you referred to him as "pretty good" a few weeks ago.
he's the best player on the team (not desean jackson like you said was indisputable earlier this year):
jackson is the best and most talented player on this offense and not sure how that is disputed. mccoy is pretty good though.
dallas had the number 1 rush defense going into last night. (and ps--your comment about the saftey's playing deep is one of the things we argued about in the packers playoff game when i said they should have run more because of what the defense was giving them. pack played like that all game. :roll: ) i was at the game and didn't notice and have not seen anything written about the safteys actually. like i said before though, that's why this offense is so great. so many ways for them to beat teams. which is why passing it 90% is incredibly stupid.
you must have hated that game last night. a 50/50 pass/run ratio. i can't believe they won utilizing their best player. shocking!
not at all. if your offensive line can dominate the line of scrimmage like that i have no problem running the ball but that was the most dominating performance by our offensive line in many many years. i doubt we will see that again anytime soon. and as good as mccoy was some of those holes i could have run through.
as for playoffs and most other games if you struggle to block 9 guys with the safeties playing deep it still does no good to pound the ball into the line. 9,10, or 11 if you can't gain yards it's not setting up anything which is what i argue. so you can't use a dominating offensive line performance to say we should do that all the time because frankly we haven't seen and probably won't see as dominating of an offensive line performancce again like that for a long time.
and lewis was in a car accident yesterday, no injuries but was shaken up a bit so he was inactive.

this goes against literally everything you've been saying in this thread. all you've been saying is throw throw throw. but i am happy to see you backing off that whole "throwing the ball 80% of the time is conservative" thing. all it took was one of the greatest rushing performances in the 80 year history of the franchise though.
you take what the defense gives you. but as i've said many times, running the ball helps your offensive line get in a groove. i think they've really improved recently. and with them healthy now, i'm excited for the rest of the year. the last two weeks have shown that mixing in some runs early creates lots of opportunities to stretch the field throughout the game.
this offense has way too many weapons to be one dimensional. let's hope they stick with this philosophy the rest of the way.

no it is not going against everything i said in this thread. last night was an anomaly and your comment of 'one of the greatest rushing performances in the 80-year history of the franchise' would clearly indicate that it is not in fact the norm.
let's enjoy the win but not overstate too much. still just 3-4 and 2 games out of the division lead (even with a top rated rusher...hmmm)

so i guess you are expecting 'one of the greatest rushing performances in the 80-year history of the franchise (your words not mine)' each week now huh? yup makes a lot of sense. take one game and develop a full offensive philosophy around it :roll: run the ball for 1st downs, pass to score.

one game? do you really watch this team?
for the season he leads the league in yards per game and yards per attempt. he's 2nd in yards and touchdowns. he's on pace to break wilbert montgomery's team rushing record. yeah, i'd think it would be wise for the eagles to continue using him the way they have been. :?

i don't know why we are getting into this one day after a great win. you know my philosophy and no matter how many yards mccoy racks up rushing my attitude isn't going to change. you cannot consistently run the ball in the NFL and put up enough points to win, especially with a leaky defense. again...run the ball for 1st downs, pass to score. i'm about points, not yards.

when you have a leaky defense, a good idea is to try and keep them on the sidelines...a great way to keep them on the sidelines is to use a ball control offense..ie run the ball.

you get more yards per play in the passing game.
and the NFL's top 3 rushers this season have a combined record of 7-16 so far

I thought you were all about points and not yards More yards per play equals more time for a leaky defense to be on the field, you know..

yup and the more yards i get passing the closer i am to scoring. the more i score the better chance of winning. so to recap...harder to stop passing game, you gain more yards per passing (and a lot more per completed pass), score more points passing.
let me repeat, top 3 rushers in the league their teams are a combined 7-16...coincidence??

That's great and all, but aren't we going for ball control here with a subpar defense? The only time you pass more than 60% of the time is when you get down by at least 3 touchdowns, like the Cowboys last night. Other than that, you need an even balance.
Romo has always put up big numbers, but he is NOT going to be effective without a solid running game. The Boys have proved that. Same goes for most teams.
4-10 rushers all play for teams with a winning record, though. Hell, Tate and Foster are 9 and 10 with over 1,000 yards combined AND have a 5-3 record.
Shady helped me win one of my fantasy teams. That was about the only bright spot for me last night!
Yea, he won me the game (hopefully). Rearviewmirrors season is still alive!
I come back to the thread a month later and people are still arguing about Andy Reid and pass/run ratio. :roll: Shocking. How often do they pass in the lingerie league Jeags?

Soul has won a title so all you losers should own a jersey
and heard a stat now that LaRussa has retired the longest tenured coach in pro sports with one team is none other than our Andy Reid
you should make tony graziani your avatar instead of the r6
I think they can only afford 2 more losses the rest of the way even though the divison stinks
With their conference losses obviously they need this weeks game
SB or BUST !!!
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
agreed. that kind of got lost in all of the mccoy talk. he looked great. most encouraging thing was that it was against a lot of blitz schemes.
His decision making was awesome. I think i remember maybe one ball getting batted down when Celek was covered by the goal line
I wish the dude would slide more though
Dare I say I saw him audible at the line also ?
