Yeah I shouldn't have said that lol. I think Kyle is in that rare offensive coordinator mindset (lets call it the Andy Reid Way to Call Plays) where passing is the be all end all, and running is one of those things you do occasionally so you can claim you've done it.

It's a real weak 3-2. We barely beat two real bad teams and beat a banged up Giants team at home. If we were going to be a playoff team then this was a must win game and it didn't happen cause we're not good enough. Eagles were simply better today.

i honestly dont think ive seen competent qb play since todd collins came in for those last 5 games or so years back ... before that brad johnson. too long weve gone without a clearly competent qb.

Well lets give Beck a chance. He deserves a shot.

That Guy · 10-17-2011, 01:11 AM

I know i'm way too late, but yeah, rex was pretty much awful, and john beck has 0 accuracy, so the hole at QB is looking terribly big right now.

SmootSmack · 10-17-2011, 04:17 AM

I love how people here spend years bitching about how conservative we are, how we never go for the big touchdowns, how awesome teams like the Patriots don't settle for field goals.

But when we go for a big play at home on our first drive of a 0-0 game, then we want to talk about playing the percentages

skinsfaninok · 10-17-2011, 04:53 AM

Smoot sometimes people just was to bitch lol

If we had better play at the qb posistion , I would love the play calling . However , after losing two linemen , and having a quick /big play offense as the opponent , I would have liked to see more of an attempt to pound the rock on a poor run defense . We also need to work on the run Defense .

Mattyk · 10-17-2011, 07:48 AM

I normally don't like to point the finger at one guy but Rex just killed us yesterday. Each pick was worse than the one before. I think he was pressing and trying to make something happen, I get that, but you can't just keep tossing balls up for grabs. It's Beck's turn, he can't be worse than Rex... can he?

Lotus · 10-17-2011, 08:02 AM

A smack down on the bye. It is only supposed to last for one week. Ours lasted for at least two weeks. Few people showed up to play.

Mcintosh was "Bad Rocky" yesterday. He took bad angles and had his feet in cement. Ive seen this numerous times with Rocky, where he will be in position or in his gap and then when the ball shows up he waits to tackle instead of being aggressive, McCoy just runs around him after making a move. WTF

D Hall gave up the play to Maclin which he had position, but got the ball ripped from him which was Carlos-like. But Hall interception was huge right outside the redzone, but then Rex...

SmootSmack · 10-17-2011, 08:49 AM

Receivers were getting open, sometimes very open, on most of the passing plays. Problem was that by putting our selves in such a deep hole by not running we forced Rex to rush his reads and try to make big plays, coming from behind. And that's not his strength. That said though, Rex is a veteran starting QB in the NFL. I agree with playing to your QB's strengths, but there's a fine line between that and coddling.

Mattyk · 10-17-2011, 09:05 AM

I think there's a fine line between blaming playcalling and blaming Rex for bad execution/decision making. I lean more towards blaming Rex. Seems like these past few games he got away from having any patience and went back to the Rex of old thinking he can just chuck it all over the field.

It's like the deeper into the hole he went, he just kept making things worse and ended up burying himself.

Um Rex Grossman is our QB. Being aggressive is fine. I'm all for it. But when you have a QB who throws multiple int's a game then you can't be aggressive. He should've had at least 4 more this year cause guys flat our dropped picks that hit them dead in their hands.

SmootSmack · 10-17-2011, 09:14 AM

It evens out, there were interceptions that never should have been. Grossman has also thrown deep completions and TDs, so to say we shouldn't have been aggressive at that point is just 20/20 hindsight
