Unfortunately, what usually happens is, you don't get better any sooner and you then have to wind up bringing in new replacements to replace the original stop gaps. It's a never ending viscous cycle.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
With the McNabb signing, amidst other things here in Washington, it seems like the Ghost of Vinny Cerrato still haunts the halls of Fedex Field.
This team is NO DIFFERENT than least season.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
One thing I want to say that I believe is on everyones mind,but maybe hasn't been said in depth.
I know every team is different and not every coach has an honor system or code and that's fine. But I have a real problem with the way the coaching staff and Andy handled the game last night. If you want to play your QB all 4 qtrs with the exception of the 2 minute 4th qtr warning with a 31 pt lead or more...that's fine. I have no problem with that...But when your throwing the ball around with that kind of lead with your starting QB..I do have a problem with that. I sure don't and wouldn't expect them to pull Vick at halftime or anything that crazy,with the way we've seen great comebacks. That's actually stupid to do in this day and age and passing league. But they couldn't pull Vick with they had a 38 pt lead in the middle of the 3rd qtr? I think they were up 52-14 at one point in the middle of the 3rd qtr..and they were still throwing the ball around like they were losing... I'm not condemning the Eagles for playing Vick the whole game,although I would have pulled my QB at this time. Specially with a quality backup like Kolb that they have. But why continue throwing the ball like that...Even the redskins were running the ball with Williams a lot and he was able to score,but we weren't on-side kicking the ball or even going for 2 point conversions to try to narrow the lead. I realize I'm whining here and part of it,is the humble pie the team had on Monday Night,but I think Andy could have handled that situation a bit better. i have no doubt that Gibb,Zorn or Shanahan would have pulled Mcnabb with that kind of lead at least by the time the 4th qtr started. It's a sign of respect and an unwritten code and honor,that I have lived by as a player and coach all my life. It's too bad Andy didn't get that memo... having said that...If we somehow get a another shot at them in Playoffs or even when we play next season. I hope Shanahan remembers this and gives them a taste of their own medicine... But the fact is..Shanahan is old school and did get the memo and I would be surprised,if he left Mcnabb in the game with a 38 pt lead late in the 3rd qtr. That's all I got to say about that...

We sucked they should have run it up even more, by leaving Vick in at least Andy showed some respect that we may be able to come back on them.

This is where I totally disagree. This is not a gentlemans sport. There is no such honor to be had. If the Skins continue to come out and try to do anything other simply run the clock than you can make your assesments. This is a brutal sport with job security, incentive contracts, new contract hopefulls, the love of women, and the fun of beating another team down. Great, you send the message that you dont kick another team while their down in the fetal position but you also send a message to the world you are to be feared and as long as no starters get hurt your simply just doing your job. Dont look to blame the Eagles or Reid. Im blaming Jim Haslett and a freak Hookie of nature that is back and better than before.

Somewhere down the line, I hope the Redskins have the opportunity to run the score up just like Reid's Eagles did against us. While it is humiliating to be on the receiving end of a butt kicking, I don't blame Andy Reid for continuing to bury our team for all four quarters. I would have done the very same thing. It's not about honor, it's about being the best team out there. The Eagles look like they are a Super Bowl caliber team. They're sending a message to the league. But just look on the bright side. The 'skins will get their revenge down the road sometime, hopefully when this team has improved.

Everyone knows they are a passing offense and that is their primary means of moving the ball. Why should they change that? They are who they are. I have never bought into teams "running up the score", they are professionals. So if you dont want the score run up, the defense has to stop them. Plain in simple. |

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Perhaps under the circumstances we could petition Roger Goodell for a.......provisional bye week?
I think our guys may have been confused and were not clear they would have to "play" a game last night?

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
I didn't see where Reid ran anything up, he's not that kind of guy. They dialed it down in the 2nd half, outside of the pick 6 the majority of the damage was done in the first half.
It's not like they were going for it on 4th down while in FG range - Belichick style |

LOL! The Eagles offense scored 52 points. They were still passing the ball after being ahead by 30+ points in the second half. Reid specifically said at halftime that his plans for the second half was "to score more points." So yes, Reid was running up the score. But, as I said before, I'm not blaming him for doing so, I would have done the same thing if I were in that position. Point is, Reid wanted to send a message to the rest of the league that the Eagles are the team to beat and they started their run to the Super Bowl last night as far as I'm concerned. Despite the Redskins' record, not many teams can score points like that against this team.

I'm not saying Reid was trying to be a bad sportsman in this at all, although his players tone in the article that has just been posted may not support that idea. I'm saying Reid felt compelled to run the score up since the Redskins' offense was catching fire and had it not been for the Eagles being lucky enough to recover a couple of fumbles, the Redskins could have very well came back to make it a good game. So, the long and short of it is, yes, Reid was trying to run the score up and probably would have scored 70 points if he felt the Redskins had time to come back.
