Does Reid make the call on that fake punt? I thought that was silly. Make the Bears drive the length of the field.
henery should have made that throw. anderson was wide open....but therein lies the problem peter. you are relying on a guy name chaz henery and colt anderson to make a play that could go a long way to determining how your season plays out. woops.
i would have opted for field position there (especially with how poor the defense was all night). save the gimmicky nonsense for the first half.
4th game they have lost when leading in the 4th quarter
and that would be the first time in this team's history that has happened...with 8 games to play.
coaching/execution--just a horrible game all around.
this team is unbelievably inconsistent and reverted to dumb football again. that falls on coaching.
so much talent on this team. it's being wasted.
if the giants go 3-5 the rest of the way, birds will have to go 6-2 just to tie them. anyone see that happening? :x
fuck.
at least our fans have finally gotten what they wanted with reid running the ball more
and trading a solid nfl qb for a shitty 3rd corner has worked wonders for us.
last night was not coaching (although of course overall 3-5 record falls on the coach). good players just making too many costly mistakes. maclin drops in 3 of the losses have been disasterous. awful fumble on punt by jackson. punter missing 2 wide open receivers on one play. vick throwing high on an easy 1st down on the last play. offensively so many small mistakes killing this team. defense just sucks and it's soft which is a bad combo.

are you fucking kidding me? the 2 guys were WIDE fucking open. it wasn't a called fake by reid. it was an audible out because i repeat the 2 guys were WIDE FUCKING OPEN. how is that play Andy Reid's fault? ugh i fucking love eagle fans

i appreciate your love but i did not mention andy reid's name.
i said they were wide open. but i would have been conservative and kicked it there. even if they are wide open there's a chance you don't make the throw. and then boom--you give the bears good field position in a game where that is the last thing you want to do.

uncovered...2 guys...uncovered
and you insinuated that it was reid's fault (or that is how i read it) when you said 'relying on henry and colt anderson and you would have kicked it away' - you said nothing about how it was the special teams making the call themselves (not sure if it's henry or the upback making the call). either way it was absolutely the right play - just awful execution because our punter throws like a girl.

not sure field position mattered much. bears were moving up and down the field at will (except in the red zone)
i would have thrown, and if given the chance next, i would throw again.

frustrating season.
chill dude. it's not like reid and april had no idea what was going on. if i were them i would have told henery to kick the fucking thing regardless of what the bears coverage looked like. in my opinion, it was too risky at that stage of the game to attempt something like that...especially with a rookie punter who had never attempted anything like that at this level.
the defense was awful yesterday. just awful. i thought juan's army had turned the corner but apparently i was wrong. when your defense is leaking oil like that, i think field position is the most important thing at that point.
your boy desean jackson played the worst game of his career last night too.
probably the most frustrating season i can remember during reid's tenure.

to me that is exactly why field position mattered most. you're talking about potentially pinning them near their own endzone or giving them the ball around midfield. what field position is it easier to score with?
Yea maclin had some huge drops and jackson doesnt look like the same player this year. Whats up with him? Philly d just isnt that good..gonna be tough to get in playoffs now.

or a wide open uncovered pass for 4 yards that any of us in our middle aged condition could have made

well it was more like 20 yards because it was across the field. and it was a rookie punter making the biggest play of his life at that point. i don't know that i have a lot of faith chaz henery to complete that one.
i just think at that point in the game, i would have punted it. i understand the other argument though. either way--it didn't work.

Exactly. the bears were gashing the eagles defense all night. there is no guarantee that the eagles get the ball back if they punt there (even with 4 minutes left), since they couldn't stop the run all night.
Henry has to make that throw, plain and simple. He looked like vick on that pass

did you know that chaz henry was a highly recruited QB? He could have went to a D-1 school and played QB, but he wanted to be a Gator.
I'm guessing he completes that pass 90% of the time in practice.

worst philly free agent signing in the past 30 years? Lance Parrish, Chris Gratton, or Nmandi? too close to call at this moment
andy ashby or danny tartabull get my votes.
vick would be third (kidding, but he stinks)
ah yes andy ashby what a dog he was. also adam eaton i guess would be on that list. tartabull doesn't even count as being here to me - the dude had what 2 at-bats then missed a whole year fouling the ball off his foot. those were the days.
and yes they did mention henry was highly recruited as a qb. hard to believe after seeing that throw. he threw it like aguy who didn't know how to hold the ball or the ball was too big for his hands. just awful.
as for the broadcast, man gruden talks too much. jaws hardly gets to say anything because gruden is always talking.

The MNF broadcast really is horrendous. I like tirico and jaws, but gruden is unbearable. They should go to the 2 man booth like NBC does with Michaels and Collinsworth (I think they are the best broadcast team in NFL history). And the amount of commercials is nauseating. I swear the NFL has instant replay just so they can show more commercials.
In general I think the league is a shit product. If not for gambling I wouldn't even watch

I agree. I DVR'd the game so we could eat dinner, started watching and was glad to be zipping through all the commercials, and then when it caught up to live, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............... fell asleep during half time, woke up to see the final score

the commentators are horrible...the between play video is unwatchable. not to bring up the fake punt, but the play was baiscally over before they showed what was going on.
don't take me to the play just before the snap of the ball. i want to see the formation, i don't need close ups of coachs on the sideline, or individual players on the field or sideline.

i thought they could have run a little more early actually. the bears did. worked out perfectly for them.
and at this point, it's safe to say we traded a shitty qb for a shitty corner...and a 2nd round pick. advantage, eagles on that one.
