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.

.

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.

yeah i know. that was a long time ago. all i'm saying is it's a tough spot for a rookie punter. practice is one thing. asking him to do it with pretty much the season hanging in the balance, is another.

like i said, i would have kicked it. i understand the other argument though. too risky for me in that spot.

looks like kolb will miss the game this week. that sucks. i was looking forward to the homecoming.

skelton actually played better than him last week.

The Eagles have now lost four games in which they have a fourth quarter lead, making them just the third team in NFL history to do that in their first 8 games of the season. Only the '54 Packers and '99 Saints lost as many fourth quarter leads in the first half of the season.

skelton has a hand cannon

at this point I'm torn. I still think they have a chance to win the division, but they aren't going anywhere even if they get to the playoffs. It's probably best for them to lose games the rest of the way.

if they somehow get in, they'd be the hottest team in the leage probably. so i wouldn't say that, though reid hasn't done well in the playoffs in the last 6 years and they would be a low seed playing a good team so you may have a point.


i'd never wave the white flag at this point in the season. but what a disaster this has turned into. my god.

I don't see this defense or qb winning a playoff game (let alone games) on the road. EDIT: just realized that if they win division their first game would be at home. so they might get to 2nd round. big deal

complete disaster. and I agree with what you said earlier about this being the most frustrating team during reid's tenure (regular season anyway)

i don't see this coach beating a very good team in the playoffs home or away.

in my opinion, i needed to see him take this team at least out of the first round of the playoffs to deserve sticking around. anything less than that is unacceptable in my eyes. way too much talent on this team.

if the qb can't get it done--he picked the qb and gave him an extension. if the d can't get it done, he's the one who promoted the fucking o line coach to coordinate it. andy reid's hands are all over this.

so frustrating.

fair points. I love the guy, but I can't defend those two decisions. They are obviously awful. If those choices become his downfall so be it.

I still don't see a better replacement candidate. For those gruden supporters, here were his draft picks during his oakland tenure. Yikes. His two best picks (outside of woodson, who was a top 5 pick) were kickers

1998
1-woodson
1-mo collins
2-leon bender
3-jon ritchie
4-gennaro dinapoli
5-jeremy brigham
5-travian smith
7-vince amey
7-david sanders
1999
1-matt stinchcomb
2-tony bryant
4-dameane douglas
5-eric barton
5-rod coleman
6-daren yancey
7-jojuan armour
2000

we saw this QB in the playoffs last year. He shit the bed. He has two career playoff wins. He's not taking this team anywhere

they got about a 3-5% chance at this point. it's pretty much all over. 3 down in the division and pretty much can't win any tiebreakers for a wild card even if the go 7-1 the rest of the way. and no rational person can see this team with this defense going 7-1 the rest of the way. i said 9-7 before the season and i don't think they even getting to that at this point. still have 4 of their toughest games to play: at the giants, patriots, jets, at cowboys. it's over.

depends on the context. howard's contract is the worst thing in sports. vick is the worst person in sports.

at least howard has won something. I'd probably go vick on this one. I hate everything about him as a person...and he sucks as a qb on top of that.

i agree. i don't have the historical stats, but not many teams come back from a 3-5 start to make the playoffs.

SF is better than all of these teams. Atlanta as well
