Re: Its time for joe to step down.

Can't blame Gibbs for Cooley's false start. We had Philly in a bad situation with their Jumbo defense package trying to defend 2 WRs and Cooley. If not for the false start, Campbell and Thrash have an easy pitch and catch to ice the game. My first instinct was to totally blame coaching, but after replaying the Eagle's goal line stand, there were several key breakdowns:

1. Portis coughing the ball up at the goal line. Yes he recovered, but without the fumble, his forward progress would have been inside the 1 instead of at the 2 where he regained posession.

2. Samuels getting beat by Darren Howard allowing Portis to get tackled from the backside for no gain at the 2.

3. Cooley jumping offside - this should have been a TD. Biggest penalty of the game.

4. Ridiculously conservative play calling a draw on third down at the 7. To me, this shows a lack of trust in Campbell, who FOX pointed out has been stellar passing in the red zone in his career.

UMMMM I think #4 would be Gibbs. Don't even tell me the whole Saunders calls the plays b.s.

Saunders does call the plays, unless you can prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that this isn't the case.

Re: Its time for joe to step down.

Excuse me while I interject some sense into this thread, but when did running the ball on the goal line in an attempt to score become "conservative"?

Yeah I don't get that either.

If you can't pound the ball in down there you don't deserve to win the game. How many chances did we have, I mean seriously if you can't win those battles it's game over.

This thread is retarded for a variety of reasons.

When did we get to the goal line? I seem to remember going with the Jumbo package from the 8 yard line.

It's still an appropriate situation to pound the ball with goal line formations, what's your problem with that??

No, just wondering what in the heck you are complaining about regarding the jumbo formation.

So you don't think that a draw play on 3rd and goal from the 7 is conservative??? The only way you could have played that any safer would be to have Campbell take a knee before the field goal.

Nope, it was a great play. The Eagles defense was sending the kitchen sink after Campbell on that play, and the only way we had a chance to score was to hand it to Portis on a draw. If Campbell had dopped back to pass, he would've gotten blown up.
