what was your problem with the play calling? 21 runs, 32 passes seems just right to me. i think that was one of the better called games we've had all year, if not the best.
and other than the 72 yard run, the bears had about 45 yards.
I felt like the calls were just off--wrong plays at the wrong time, something just seemed not right and I didn't like it (how's that for an explanation :roll: boo, me! )
i don't think it is acceptable!
no, i think there was a big stretch during the 2nd and 3rd quarters where the play calls were not great and we just were not playing well. but you have to admit that is nitpicky. i mean i think they two big keys here tonight were to score some points early....CHECK....and stick with the run game....CHECK.
all in all, this was a huge win and i am very encouraged by what i saw. beat the skins and we're 7-4!
Not satisfied with this win at all, but then again I have no idea what the fuck to this of the NFL this year... Dallas barely beats Washington, KC beats Shittsburgh, etc. etc.
And whoever thinks our run D sucked tonight doesn't know what they're talking about. Yes, the past couple of weeks sure, but other than that long run by a nobody they dominated the line of scrimmage. It was one play.
With that said, this win means nothing to me nor shows me anything about this team.
how can you not be satisifed and think this win means nothing to you? i don't get that at all.
they scored a touch down early for the first time in weeks.
they committed to the run for the first time in a loooooooong time.
they stopped the run.
despite injuries they were pretty solid on d....though they should have had a couple more turnovers.
shady mccoy had a breakout game.
donovan finally had a 4th quarter come back.
i thought we would win more convincingly but the bears were fighting for their season too. and, other than the last few weeks, this game was actually pretty damn exciting all the way through.

i know i'm not good at explaining, but the last few games, tonight included, our zone D has been crappy--we've let a lot of first downs happen bc the defense is playing too far off...we need to either play a tighter zone or better man to man or something, but I feel like there are a lot of plays that could be made IF our defense makes those slight adjustments.
If cutler had any accuracy we'd of been in trouble. The back to back over throws to olsen and hester was huge. And then to one to knox i know the d is banged up but the olsen play gocong bit, then samual did. And knox just beat the whoever was covering him. As for the play calling early in the game shady was running strong and reid and marty went away from him,and thats about the time we stopped moving the ball. We beat a bad team and didnt look good doing it. A wins a win but we should have beating a bad bears team badly.

gotta keep it going next week though...
Look, a win is a win. I get that. But Reid doesn't learn from his mistakes until his back is up against the wall. WHY does it take to be on the brink of the edge to have a sense of urgency?! I'm just sick of the consistent mediocrity - then again, I guess that's the definition of mediocrity.
And remember something, Chicago STINKS. Cutler has taken many, many, many steps backwards. And personally I think him and Rivers are the biggest douches in the NFL - that's even excluding Romo. Chicago doesn't have an O line, cannot run the ball, and do not have any established receivers. This is like every other win this team has had against sub .500 teams(all but 1 of their wins this season) - they tell me NOTHING.
you guys realize the steeler lost to the chiefs today right?
did you see the bengals lose to the raiders?
did you see the cockroaches score 7 points on the redskins?
come on people. contrary to some peoples opinions, this is still a mediocre league all across the board. you have to look at this team in the context of this league.
it was an ugly win but there are a lot of positives as i have already laid out. i mean lets be honest here, this is the eagles, other than '04 we always win ugly.
trust me, we will look back on this game as the turning point of the season. it's the kind of win that builds confidence and momentum

I think I referenced the bold above already. All I'm saying is let's not start sucking each other's D's just yet.

any word on sheldon? i think we actually might need him against the skins this week.
what a warrior that guy is. played with a torn or partially torn hamstring.....the story of him jumping up and running onto the field when he saw asante walking off hurt is awesome. i feel bad for ripping on him during the offseason about his contract whining. fuck it--rip it up and re sign him. imagine if lito had half the heart he has....
Thank God I benched Donny MC this week in favor of Schauby tonight. I would have lost by four....now I just need 19 pts from the Schaub to secure a playoff spot.

donny got me 16.5 pts in my league...my mistake was riding the steve breaston train one week too long. 0 catches! meanwhile i benched boldin again and he had 17 points. oh well.

Well, I needed 19 from Schaub and he gave me 20. I'm on a four win run and one game out of 1st place. Let's hope Philly makes a similar run and be come in high for the playoffs.
looking forward to sunday. i think we win, but not as easily as people think.
yeah plus didn't Washington beat us twice last year, but i do think the Eagles will win.

another nerve winning game but I'll take it. Our defense on 3rd downs was pretty much non existint and. Next week ought to be a pretty good game against Atlanta.

Good win by your team. However, its easy to see why Washington sucks, they had the ball 1st down early in the 4th quarter and the first 2 plays are runs, they are not going to make the playoffs, why not just go for it?

It was done just in case you all lost that way you'd be able to blame an idiotic coach for putting you in a hole. Instead you win and are easily going to the playoffs b/c the rest of the NFC East sucks.
Well I think Andy did it cuz he had success with doing it before. I think he tried it 3 times before (twice against Dallas) and it worked 2 times. If they executed it a whole another story, oh well.
