problem is, you can't just "take away" plays.

Kolb did not look terrible except on a few plays.  Chalk it up to inexperience.  McNabb has games exactly the same where he throws for tons of yards but a few stupid picks and it costs us the game.

The defense didn't play it's usual "bend but don't break" game.  They broke a few times.

For the life of me I can't figure out why the national media was picking the Eagles in this game.  If McNabb were playing, I could have understood it more.

An offense like New Orleans exposes the losses on defense factor also.  You can't lose your defensive leader, middle linebacker and coordinator without any reduction in effectiveness.  You won't see that every game, but it will show up with the really good offensive teams.

i know you cant "take away" plays, all im saying is we didnt get beat as bad as the score shows. if we play them again, especially with mcnabb, i like our chances.

Brian thats like saying mcnaabs stats look better than they really are. 2 yard passes for 30 yard runs....etc. Eagles win most of there games by having a lot of lucky plays, recovering fumbles in the red zone and so forth. I think the bottom line is that people are starting to realize that they are not that good. I am predicting a lot of BOOOOOOOOOOS...........This year. I think we have a new starting QB also. Sorry bro.

chigger, you're getting under my skin.      :cheesy:     (sorry, couldn't resist)

but I have to disagree with you somewhat.  if a team continually causes turnovers, it's more than luck.  it can't be great defense for the cowgirls and luck for the eagles.

but I agree, the eagles aren't that good this year, for some reasons out of their control.  there is not enough depth on the O line, D backs and linebackers.  But hey, they have 3 pro bowl quarterbacks, none of which are playing.

Sorry Pillagar, I used to bleed green to. I just cant stand Mcnaab and Andy. There stats are the best in franchise history but, they just cant win the big game and the fans except it. I think that makes me even more mad that the fans stick by them. I mean look, I am not a pro football anything but, who is telling Mcnaab to lift weights till he looks like the hulk. How can you throw a football with arms like the hulk, I think he is to stocky to be a QB, his mobility is gone. He needs to lose weight and quit lifting weights.

If Andy runs that stupid wildcat one more time I think I am Gonna puke. Thats the most predictable play I ever seen. What an idiot..

We Have no special teams for how many years now?

We have an average to below average running game.


Every good team has a weapon, who is ours?

DeSean?

[chigger]

HEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is good but, we have no one else to take the pressure off him.

I disagree somewhat.   I like the 2 young backs.  I think you'll see more of them because I think BW is just about broke down.  I hate to have to say it  but the reality is staring us all in the face.  I hope I'm wrong.  Too soon to tell about the new receiver also.  Jackson started slow last year with only a few flashes.  We'll see.   And as for the wildcat, I'm sure you haven't seen the tricks they have up their sleeves for it yet.  And you can bet they have some.

Jaws said something on MNF that contradicted himself.  He said the wildcat was a fad and it didn't work.  He said the wildcat was 8% of the plays and it accounted for "only" 10% of the yards.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but that tells me it is effective, if used in the right situations.
