Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over
Who cares? We won. Would you have been happier if we blitzed our brains out and Avant held that Hail Mary on the last play?

Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over
Agree with the comment that Jackson or Maklin would have burned us if we blitzed. I mean I guess we could have thrown one or two in, but the team defensively just isn't that good.

Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over
Philly beats you with big plays this year. We took that away and challenged them to beat us in another way. They got close. But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Slingin Sammy has it right--the D was fine, but the dang O couldn't ice the game, AS USUAL!!!! That's where I was freaking out. We NEVER get that last first down to ice it and take a knee. We are always relying on our D to save our bacon at the end. How about, JUST ONCE, a first down to end it on offense? The game should have ended when Torain got 7 on first down. Then it's two plays to get three yards and we take a knee. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO. False ****ing start. 2-8. Run gets two. Incomplete pass. We punt--LAMELY. Can we ever get a clutch ****ing punt???? And you want to blame it on the D, which took away philly's real weapons, a D which got TORCHED in the secondary in the first couple of games. Sure, the D can do more, no doubt. But that ending was not the Ds fault. A huge win. But, man, we never make things easy, do we? A holding call and a dropped hail-Mary in our wins. But a win is a win is a win.

Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over
I love how people just think crazy blitzing will solve all our woes. Blitzing makes thinks worst if you team D is not playing well as a unit. Ex. Houston game. Sure Kolb isn't playing that great right now, but if blitzes are coming in he has easier quick passes. Also the Philly oline is hurt and not playing well. I think we got pretty good pressure with 4 rushing. Go back and watch the film but there were about 10 more holds on Rack that were never called and Fat Al was actually drawing some double teams.
End result: 12 points. Against one of the better offenses in the NFL, that is a huge success. Our team has improved quite a bit. We would have lost this and the Dallas game last year, and I doubt we would have made the Texans earn a W. Teams rarely go from 4-12 to legitimate contenders overnight. We are taking the right steps. Now just calm down.

Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over
I get your pain, 100%, trust me I understand what your saying and why your upset with us not blitzing. I believe we didn't do it, because Haslett all week game planed for Vick, and his goal was to preach the defense this week to contain, and said to his guys, "hey guys this week were gonna contain Vick, because if we blitz him we got Vick outracing us with a guy behind him."
Now thats no excuse for his players to all of a sudden forget or just not blitz, but I guess he figured, Kolbs a quick passer, and not a long down field passer. All of our blitzes don't get there fast enough so he'll just get quick passes and big gains on us all day...we'd be working to his advantage, and not ours. Plus man our defense didn't Break today. We did good, not great, but enough to win. We sure as hell bent, but didn't break, like against Houston or the Rams last week.

Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over

Haslett didn't change because he wasn't scared about Kolb's deep threat or running game. So he let him dink and dunk all day knowing he didn't have the ability to beat us. Furthermore, he figured blitzing will only provide a quick first option for Kolb. He rather let Kolb sit and try to make a decision, which were nearly game costing at times(Los near pick, etc.). You seriously think Haslett didn't consider blitzing lol? That would be more concerning than the Skins defense, IMO. I am expecting an ignore of this reply.

Re: Question that needs an answer before the night is over
We blitzed the crap out of a rookie QB last week and how did that work out?
DeSean Jackson was held to 3-19, Maclin 1-15. Mission accomplished. |
