jott, although I agree about the $#!TTY play-calling & lack of a running game, holding onto the ball too long, fumbling, throwing int’s, & idiotic decision making, has nothing to do with a balanced attack. He is as much of a problem, as the rest.

@DMAN – I totally understand…and you drove 6 hours? I would be pissed too, watching my team getting their ass whooped after the effort you put to getting there…but just as you said, a lot of football is left. As an Eagles fan, I have faith things will get better. I never expected a perfect season, and it just seems like so many on here did. Its 1 loss..too many on here seem like poor sports, lose a game throw a tantrum…this guy sucks, that guys sucks yada yada yada…

Hey realtalk777 what else do you expect us Eagles fans to say? Were pissed off. I’m sure most of us feel like were being cheated. I was at that pathetic game yesterday. The Eagles came out with zero energy and didn’t look like they wanted to play. The Cards players were jacked up before the game and came ready to play. That’s poor coaching my friend. Luckily were at 2 – 1 with plenty of football left. Let’s hope this was just a small bump in the road

Phillies and Doc Hallady Suck too…

MVP for Phillies over the 2nd Half of the Season is, believe it or not…
Pitchers Kyle Kendrick and LF John Mayberry Jr and maybe you can throw in SS Jimmy Rollins

Lot of areas to address this Off-Season… There are 4-5 Quality Teams all younger,more talented and better managed in the NL than the Phils and that’s the reality of this Phils Team..

BTW – my point was to dismiss what Paulman was saying about our WRs being too small. They’re not.

“so there goes your “height” excuse.”

Garbage Realtalk.

Go look at the final 3 plays of the 1st half again. Esp the fatal blitz. Look into the endzone. What do you see? More precisely, what do you not see?

You don’t see any Ariz defenders in the endzone between the hashes. They leave it wide open, and send everyone right up the middle.

Conversly (and this is a mistake by the Eagleas’ coaches, and Vick who still can’t make adjustments at the line), no Eagles’ WEs or TEs enter that area…they all go wide.

Why?

Because when we get down inside the RZ, Vick can’t see the middle of the field. This is exascerbated the closer he gets…..Ariz knows this and were not scared at all of him throwing to the middle.

Makes their job easy only having to cover 2/3 of the endzone.

When Vick was at line (if he had actually looked left, which he didn’t) he may have been able to identify the blitzer (who was basically in a sprinter stance, ready to come charging….lol who am I kidding, Vick recognize that – gotta give my head a shake) a quick tap of his hip, or some other hand signal could have sent his slot wr on a slant and a quick, easy, td as there was noone there to cover.

But….

1: Vick can’t read that at the LOS – never has been able to

2 – He’s too short to make that throw anyway.

Good times all around.

Eagles’ Defensive stats:
Remember they’re probably ranked higher in all these categories, because GB and Sea are higher than them, but haven’t played game 3 and they’ll drop)

Yrds given up: 5th
Yrds/play given up: 3rd
1st downs surrendered: 1st
total turnovers: 6th

Passes completed against: 2nd
Passing yrds against: 2nd
Passing tds given up: Tied for 2nd
Ints: 5th

Net yrds/pass against: 5th
Rush yrds against: 19th
Yrds/rush att: 15th
Fumbles recovered: 22th (but fumble recoveries are just luck)

So what do we see….a D that’s top 10 in almost every category, and an O that’s….well….not so much….

Vick owns a good bit of this loss too. The turnovers are unacceptable and he still hasn’t learned to get rid of the ball. If its not there, it’s not. Stop trying to be superman risking your body and a turnover. Its the coaches resposibility to have a good enough plan, or in-game adjustments (you can’t see me laughing out loud as I write that statement) so he shouldn’t need to be superman. With the talent they have on offense, which many coaches in the NFL would love to have, a good game plan should score TDs.

Don’t know if he could have gotten to that ball Real…but I think if he would have ran thru that completion at the end of the first half he could of had a TD
