Thanking the Philadelphia Eagles
Dec. 21, 2008
Let me thank…
- the Philadelphia Eagles for reeling me in again so I can be slapped in the face.
- L.J. Smith for dropping two passes, missing a block, missing a play causing a timeout, and not running out of bounds at the end of the game.
- DeSean Jackson for dropping two passes that hit him right in the hands, one being a touchdown.
- Reggie Brown for breaking on your route a half yard too early.
- whoever is calling the plays for not running the ball.
- Andy Reid’s decision to play a hurt Brian Westbrook over a healthy Correll Buckhalter at the end of the game.
- whoever called 12 straight pass plays at the beginning of the 4th quarter.
- whoever is calling 5-yard pass plays on 3rd and long.
- whoever is calling pass plays in the middle of the field as precious time ticks away.
- whoever is preparing this offense for a two-minute drill.
- Andy Reid’s bonehead decision to draft Kevin Kolb with the 36th pick in the 2007 NFL draft. Seriously, if this weak-armed kid ever steps on the field as the starting quarterback of my Philadelphia Eagles, I might lose my voice every Sunday.
- Donovan McNabb for making inaccurate throws that should be accurate, making the previous sentence possible.
- the ‘gold standard.’
- Kris Clemons for lining up in the neutral zone. It’s the little things that make you lose games like this.
- Asante Samuel for dropping a much-needed interception as he cashes his huge paycheck.
- Sav Rocca for not being able to punt with the wind at his back.
- OTR for letting me vent.
**A little Perry note. Nobody can point the finger at Donovan McNabb for this loss. The surrounding offensive cast made key mistakes and there was horrendous play-calling throughout the game that killed drives. Again, too much weight was thrown on his shoulders. People other than Donovan and Brian Westbrook have to step up and make plays**
“DeSean Jackson for dropping two passes that hit you right in the hands and one which was a touchdown.”
it was bad but you cant expect him to make everything right and be perfect in his rookie season ..
note: please fire this complete bullshit “offense” and everyone who has something to do with “offense”
If DeSean throws his hands up in the air and bounces around when McNabb doesn’t throw him the ball when he’s open, then he is fair game to be criticized for dropping two huge passes that could have changed the outcome of the game.
hmm kay , right.
didnt thought about this
“Donovan McNabb for making inaccurate throws that should be accurate”
“Nobody can point the finger at Donovan McNabb for this loss.”
Which is it?
The finger should be pointed at the team/coaches for the loss and not solely on McNabb. Hence, all the points I mentioned. I’m sorry to make the post too confusing for you. I’ll write a little slower for you next time.
