[Reacher]

Yes!! Nice shoe string tackle.

 

[MCguidance]

Hell of a boot.

RE: Austin play....example # 4909029490709809082409 of why whining about a players lack of production during a game is obnoxious, stupid, and really really really annoying in game threads. No one on that field cares about your fantasy team...and the games are 60 minutes long...not 20 or 30 or 40 or 50.

 

[Das Boot]

I feel like a big play is coming up to D Jackson soon, or at least an attempt for a big play.

Is it his sheer lack of targets? Or is it is underwhelming presence on the field that leads you to believe this?

They just haven't been using him much/getting him involved in the game plan and he's just too good for that to happen for too long.

I agree that he is good. However, Philly has a propensity to completely ignore him from time to time. This game is clearly going in that direction. He will finish with about 2 catches for around 18-20 yards. McNabb can only see Avant, Celek and check down passes. He isn't looking down field at all.

Sadly this is looking like a damn good call.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Whew...showstring.

Now it's time for MBIII left, MBIII right, MBIII playaction!

 

[Bankerguy]

Oh....and no one misses a kick against us. LOL.

 

[fatness]

Important tackle there by Butler.

 

[Bogart]

OK Romo, two first downs here and we are golden.

 

[Ariakis]

It's time for the offense to finish this one. IMO they can't just run MB3 or they will be punting. They need to get first downs.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Come on, Philly has no timeouts left, just get the ball back D.

Two first downs Dallas and you win on the road in Philly where you lost 44 to 6 last year. Let's go!

 

[prosopis]

This game cant end fast enough.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I think Reid forgot he was all out of timeouts.

 

[SKribbles]

What in the hell is Reid thinking by kicking a field goal??? Completely ######ed.

 

[MCguidance]

What the hell was that on the kickoff?

 

[Bankerguy]

Let's not get all conservative now.

 

[certificate]

The announcers are so confused by that decision. It's pretty simple, Reid has faith in his team.

Good God, this is the greatest post I have read in days.Thank you sir.

Speaking of annoying...

 

[Iron_Far]

Listening to geniuses Michaels and Collinsworth debate that FG attempt.....

 

[socrates]

What in the hell is Reid thinking by kicking a field goal??? Completely ######ed.

Yet another example of his inability to manage a game . . .

 

[David Lee Roethlisberger]

Horrible clock management.

No, but you don't want to pass and throw incomplete and then have the Philly D blitzing on Romo and then have Romo do something game changing.I wouldn't even mind seeing that Wildcat they used earlier. I'll take 4 yards on 1st down right now.

 

[Ariakis]

Tough call for Reid ... making a 10 yard completion when the defense can give up anything shorter is tough. Actually I'm wondering if they should have punted pinning the Cowboys deep which for whatever reason seems to get Romo a bit more rattled.

 

[bentley]

Let's not get all conservative now.

I think the new health care bill is a complete waste of taxpayer money.

that's what you get with a player like Jackson though....do you really expect him to catch 80 yard tds every week? he's not a possession guy - maclin is filling that role nicely - and Desean will have awesome weeks and weeks like this....it's the nature of the game - and why no one ever finishes the year with 30 tds and 2000 yards receiving. Expecting him to do that every week is simply ludicrous...and a prime example of how FF has completely skewed some peoples ability to enjoy the game and see it as it is.

 

[Ridgelake]

Barber Time

 

[D'OHtis]

Nice play call there.

 

[MSULions]

Barber's strutting is as annoying as Roy giving the first down sign....they both need to #### and play football.

 

[Reacher]

I am liking our line play right now.

 

[MCguidance]

Terrible challenges hurt the Eagle.

 

[Mikey16x]

LOL at Reid just starring at the clock.

 

[Bankerguy]

Here's your Ball game.

 

[Ariakis]

3rd down ... you can throw on this one anyway.

 

[Mikey16x]

Game.

 

[Bankerguy]

Game set match.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Romo the choker!!

Oh wait...

 

[MCguidance]

That'll do it.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Game over! Romo to Witten when the game is on the line.

 

[fasteddie_21]

1st place!

 

[fred_1_15301]

The announcers are so confused by that decision. It's pretty simple, Reid has faith in his team.

And there lies the problem. The Eagles are a notoriously bad 2-minute team. Reid should have went for it when they had the chance......plain and simple.

 

[MSULions]

so Philly has all their time outs right? no way Reid would have wasted them earlier, right?

 

[David Lee Roethlisberger]

LOL at Reid just starring at the clock.

Like he has no idea how they work.

 

[jojoh07]

)KJNKJBJHVHGGFCGF REID . nice playcall there , we needed that FG

 

[fasteddie_21]

Now it's time for MBIII left, MBIII right, MBIII playaction!

 

[tech]

Romo the choker!!Oh wait...

Don't forget...Roy Williams can't play either.

 

[David Lee Roethlisberger]

The announcers are so confused by that decision. It's pretty simple, Reid has faith in his team.

Not in his offense.

 

[Reacher]

Wow even the clock manager in Philly doesn't know how clocks work.

 

[Das Boot]

that's what you get with a player like Jackson though....do you really expect him to catch 80 yard tds every week? he's not a possession guy - maclin is filling that role nicely - and Desean will have awesome weeks and weeks like this....it's the nature of the game - and why no one ever finishes the year with 30 tds and 2000 yards receiving.

Wild prediction... talk in Philly this week will be about getting the ball to Jackson more.

 

[Dragon1952]

The dumbest QB/Head Coach combination that ever walked the Earth. It never ceases to amaze me the things those 2 can combine to do to lose a game.

 

[tech]

Ok Collingworth...tell me when the hell the Eagles had this game "well in hand".
