2 games?
On Sunday, he’ll make his fourth career start against the Eagles when Colts visit the Linc for a 4:15 p.m. game. In his first three starts against the Eagles, the Colts are 3-0, winning by an average of 24 points per game.
I know there was a 3rd game I suffered throughMy drinking team has a hockey problem

i've always given reid all the credit he is worth. he's a good coach. not great one. good. we've been through all this before about him continuing to make the same mistakes 11 years in as he made back in '99 etc etc etc. nothing has changed. schotenheimer is a good comparison. 2 months since the last time we talked about this doesn't change anything.
people have a tendency to overreact on a week by week basis in the nfl and in most sports. thus far donovan looks like he's aged a whole lot since last year. that line is really bad in front of him though. shanahan looks like a dope for benching him right now. he's probably hoping for the same result the fat man got out of 5 back in '08 after that benching. again--i don't see how 8 games can end the debate about if shanahan is a good coach or not. that is pretty ridiculous. 7 or 8 wins is realistic for the talent on that team. so at 4-4 he's on pace to get the most out of the talent he has to work with...that's kinda, exactly, what a good coach does.
i hope the trade ends up in the birds favor. ironic that both 5 and his successor have both been benched at some point this year. . long season. not even halfway through. but 8 or 9 wins can very well get you into the playoffs in the horrendous nfc this year and both the skins and birds are on the same pace at this point... which is exactly what i expected to happen.
so, yeah...halfway through the season. relax. GO. BIRDS.
I agree that people overreact to things each week. I don't understand why everyone blows shanahan though. He has been terrible for over a decade now. The skins aren't a good team, but the mcnabb trade wasn't a good move for them at the time. and it sure as hell doesn't look good now.
no way in hell the skins make the playoffs. I still say 6 wins for them. They suck0 -

guy won two super bowls in row. that's been done, what 4 or 5 times in the history of the game? yes, with elway. but at that point, elway was known as a guy who could not win the biggest of games. most hall of fame coaches who've won super bowls did so with hall of fame qb's. lombardi-starr...knoll-bradshaw....landry-staubach...walsh-montana...seifert-young...j johnson-aikman...belichek-brady...dungy-manning etc etc etc. if anything you could criticize him and pat bowen for their personnel moves since elway retired. tough to with brian griesie, jake plummer, and jay cutler behind center--which is what he had in denver ever since elway retired.
long season. whether the trade looks good for either team now is irrelevant. keep in mind the guy the eagles felt comfortable with at qb with mcnabb gone has already lost his job....what you are doing now would have been the equivalent of me proclaiming the trade a success for the skins after consecutive wins against the birds and packers a couple weeks ago. a lot depends on what happens in the rest of the season and in the future--if mcnabb is one and done in dc, then that will be great news for the birds. but a lot also has to do with whether or not kolb is our qb of the future and how well nate allen pans out. too early to tell.www.myspace.com0 -
funny thing about the mcnabb trade is that it actually helps the eagles if that shitty team can get into the playoffs. that means one of the two draft picks improves. again, I don't think there's a chance in hell that the skins get in...even in a horrendous conference.
you obviously think a lot more highly of mcnabb than I do at this point in his career. he's just not good anymore. I really do hope he goes to a decent team next year so really gets exposed.
as for shanahan...he is one of the few coaches in the league -- along with reid, holmgren (before this year), and belichick that oversees personnel decisions. he's not good at that or winning games (without inheriting HOFers at multiple positions). I think he's one of the most overrated coaches of all time.
now that all that is out of the way...I gotta say that I am really looking forward to the birds game this week. moreso than any game so far this year.Post edited by The Fixer on0 -
Definitely one of the most overrated coaches of all time, but it doesn't change the fact that he - as a man in football for a very long time - saw the same shit that Reid covered up so well all these years. So what have we learned? Reid is a much better bullshitter than Shanahan, aaaand McNabb is a pretentious, condescending, douche. No heart. Had a lot of talent with no killer instinct. Ever. And to think I used to be a huge supporter of this guy.0

my tipping point (great book) moment with mcnabb was the arizona game. I defended that guy for a decade. Then the birds got the ball back with 2 minutes left at their own 20, down 7. They needed a TD and I knew there was no chance whatsoever that McChoke was leading them to a score. And we all know the rest of the story.
The guy did a lot of great things while he was here. All the talent in the world, but he just never had the stones to win the big one(s). I sure as fuck don't want to see him win it now0 -

like i said--two weeks ago the skins had just beaten green bay a week after beating us and mcnabb looked great against gb. this is the eb and flow of a season.
agree to disagree on shanahan as a coach. hall of famer's win super bowls. don't know what else to tell you on that. nobody could win with elway for over a decade before shanahan was hired there.
our over/under for them was 7. they are 4-4 right now which means he's getting the most out of the talent he has to work with. it's not like i said they were gonna win 11 games. they are exactly...exactly...right where i thought they'd be right now. as are the birds.
agree about sunday. i cannot wait.www.myspace.com0 -

I agree that 5 was a choker in the clutch,and even though he didn't make that last drive count he's far from the reason we lost that Ariz game.Go Birds!!!!0 -
you talk about the skins beating green bay like that is some tremendous accomplishment. the packers aren't that good.
the skins are lucky to have 4 wins. cutler gave them a win and wade phillips gave them a win. the skins got dominated by the cowboys, but that stupid fumble at the end of the first half got the skins a win.
they have 4 wins...they have no shot at getting to 80 -

he's one of many reasons they lost that game. there were receivers open that entire game that he continually failed to hit (especially in the first half). sure, the defense and akers share some of the blame, but mcnabb was the main culprit.
whatever, he's gone...not our probelm anymore.0 -
375 3td 1 int,im sure he did miss plays or throws but when ur def gives up 32pts blaming the qb who put up 25 pts is wrong. If u read back the last 2yrs i've wanted him gone,so im far from a 5 backer like others were. 25pts should have been enough fuckn demps bum ass sucked bad that day.Go Birds!!!!0
