Re: ***Official SNF PHI/NE thread***
[ QUOTE ]
who cares, they lost, and on the biggest play of the game they blew it. it is what reid always does. you give the ball to westbrook one way or another, because he is the guy that bails this team out every game they [censored] win. i dont care how he gets the ball, but he gets the ball. so dumb. feeley starting made the eagles a better team in this game too, so him being the backup means nothing. [/ QUOTE ] so dumb, i agree give it to the guy who averaged 3 yards a carry and no receiving yards fwiw feeley claims he was throwing the ball away |

Just as a general observation playing for ties is usually bad.

Re: ***Official SNF PHI/NE thread***
i think the blueprint thing is overrated too, it's not like there's some big secret with the pats, but the basic approach - being very aggressive, going after brady, trying to get turnovers / big plays, etc - is something you would THINK people would have tried before. i mean to an extent people are always trying to do that - every team has a pass rush, some just suck - but it seems like a lot of teams this year have just tried to sit back, manage the clock, keep brady off the field, etc. [censored] that, you need to blitz his ass, press the receivers, and play physical if you can get away with it. it was games like this that had the colts crying to the competition committee about pats' DBs and contact downfield, other teams should keep trying the same thing.
a team like the steelers is not going to be very aggressive offensively most of the time, but maybe this game gives them some ideas. or maybe they already knew about these weaknesses and it's just that no team has shown the ability to keep their QB safe long enough to exploit them. i dunno, basically i agree that the blueprint notion is overrated, but i think some weaknesses were also exposed tonight |

Re: ***Official SNF PHI/NE thread***
It was a bad playcall, but Reid didn't lose this game. Overall he called a great game, but if you're going for a strike there it seems kind of foolish to go at Samuel when as someone already mentioned, you've got a backup on the other side

He had 40 yds receiving. And of course the whole reason it was 2 and 4 was because Westbrook had just picked up 6 yds. I don't usually argue with people on SE....seems like there are a lot of tards on here. |
