Eagles fans, STILL satisfied with our "Playmakers"???

So where are all you "fans" who say our receivers/playmakers are "good enough" and our offensive line is the problem?? Mcnabb had HOURS to throw the ball and guess what? Our MEDIOCRE receivers COULD NOT get OPEN, Desean is doubled EVERY snap, and how many DROPPED passes by these receivers that you seem to be so satisfied with?? Anybody who cannot see that our offense CANNOT function after the first 15 plays, is absolutely BLIND. I dont want to hear ANYTHING from any of you people who know nothing about football and say what we have is "good enough"....Whether it be the LACK of playmakers, the terrible play calling after the first 15 scripted plays, or whatever other weak point you'd like to point out, the Eagles have been playing flat out terrible. So what now, football "guru's" who say our playmakers are "good enough"?? How many more PATHETIC losses will it take for you to admit that there is a MAJOR problem when we cant hold a 14 point lead WITH Westbrook? Will the Eagles have to lose out? Why is it that normal fans (who actually KNOW football) like myself can see the problem from my own couch, yet the coaching staff cannot figure it out when its their round the clock job? This is getting absolutely ridiculous, and this Eagles team, at this point, is NOT CLOSE to a playoff team. Keep drinking that Andy Reid flavored Kool Aid and keep losing. I'll be watching as always, and I hope to God this stubborness from the Eagles coaching staff, mainly Andy Reid, learns how to coach a damn football team and GET IT DONE in close games. In the last 8 games decided by 4 points or less, the Eagles are 1-7...and there 2nd half offense is flat out embarrassing. PERIOD. Anyone who thinks otherwise knows absolutely NOTHING about football and needs to stop trying to contribute to any blogging site immediately. Something needs to change, NOW.

WTF? Im sick of taking the Eagles more seriously than the damn coaching staff...your right, this is fukin crazy. Something needs to change, YESTERDAY, this team is flat out embarrassing. And Ive had it, yet Ill continue to watch because its in my blood, and continue to have shitty week after shitty week every time they play so horribly and never break the cycle because i bleed green. And you hit it on the head, anyone who is ok with what we got, dont know a damn thing about football. I cant deal with these ridiculous performances week after week. Not to mention our Carolina pick will probably be worse than our own. Just great. I cant even get happy about the Phillies right now.

Preach brother! What makes it worse is that we're losing these games barely. I rather be getting shut out but we can win these games but we aren't. We're like a few made plays away from 5-0 but we can't make a play when we have to.....

its exactly like last year, we couldn't finish games.

all we can hope for is a 2003 season where we started 2-3 and won the next nine

I know this may sound crazy, but with BWest down, they should make Hunt the starting RB and see how he does, as long as he remembers the plays of course. Im sure it wouldnt be that hard to switch back. If Hunt gets 18-20 carries a game, he may just be the break out player we need.

I am pretty fired up so I am going to get right on this convo. I said to all Eagles fans last week to be positive and the season is long. It is still long, but to me it seems like it is going to be a long disappointment. Andy Reid has done wonders for this team, but he needs to go. His play calling is GOD aweful anymore. The change in the game was Akers not being able to hit another field goal and giving them great field position to go down and get points. DeSean is a great playmaker and so is westbrook, but today Westbrook wasn't as fast as normal and they doubled down on DeSean. Why is Greg lewis back on the field and Baskett who I thought was doing wonders again didn't have another catch. The eagles threw every play they had on that first drive and the redskins couldn't figure out what was going on, after that it was the same old bulls***... Akers and Andy can head out together, and maybe we can send them both to the Lions for Roy Williams. Good trade? This is very disappointing to drop to 2-3 and be at the bottom of a division that looks like we might not win 8 games.

Yes AKers is BEAT. STOP GIVING HIM 50 YARD ATTEMPTS ONLY TO GIVE THE OTHER TEAM GREAT FIELD POSITION. Akers needs to be GONE. I dont give a fuc what his track record in the PAST is, he is officially now, the LEAST ACCURATE kicker in ALL OF FOOTBALL. We need a PLAYMAKER and Reid needs to change FAST or I dunno, its hard to say to fire him, but something needs to be done. I mean how many chances will this guy get to BLOW it. It doesnt matter how far hes gotten us at years past, hes fallin off, and its just been absolutely atrocious with his play calling. Someone needs to be brought in, or someone needs to go, PLUS Akers.

I said to get rid of Akers before the season started. You could see last year he was not the man he once was. I got me head bit off on hear, so it's nice to see people are noticing another hinderence to our team!

Basket didn't have a catch because his ass was on the bench other than special teams. In the few plays he was in on the ball didn't come his way. For what ever reason, the fat man won't use him. I'd like to see him traded to another team just so the kid has a chance to show what he can do.

cause fat phuckin bastard says reggie is the ultimate # 1!!!! did anyone else see reggie alligator arm a pass???

What the FAWK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????!!??!!??!!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

yea Im thinking the same thing, but fawk spelled correctley

And one other thing, mcnabb is a play maker and we don't let him make plays.. 1. because his receivers drop easy balls to move the chains. 2. we only throw the ball within a 10 yard radius the whole game

exactley the same receivers i got BITCHED at by certain NAMELESS barkers who said they were FINE and it was our O line..where are all these know it alls now??? Cowering like the rest of the people who dont know squat.

Be serious, McNabb couldn't hit his ass today. He bounced the ball off the chest of at least half a dozen defenders trying to get the ball to perfectly open receivers. To be fair, the line didn't give him a hell of a lot of time or space and too many throws were hurried. Zeesh, they couldn't open a hole today for a frigging mouse to get through. The whole effort sucked green canal water. If anyone needs to go it is the fat man. He couldn't motivate a hungry dog, his play calling was beyond speaking of and his play design is ten years old.

Not sure what game you were watching where our receivers were "wide open"....must have been watching the Giants game by accident. Desean was constantly doubled and our recievers still couldnt catch a damn pass or battle for first downs or GET OPEN

I was watching the game as it happened, not some fanasy that I wanted to happen or looking for lame excuses.

i blame the coaching staff for McNabb's limited role... they told him to just hang in there in the pocket and things will open up...and with that, the amount of sacks allowed rose, and the wins trailed off... when the coaches told him to do his thing, we had 5 straight years of winning seasons and playoffs...now that he doesn't run for the first downs anymore we give the punter an opportunity to be player of the game... and to comment on romamiddy5's point about throwing the ball within 10 yards... how come andy threw the ball down the field with slow ass james thrash and todd pinkston, but now when we have 3 receivers with an average speed of 4.5 we run a high school style passing game....it blows my mind..........

And i dont wanna hear anything about a washed up Holt.

Hey REED ,GREAT GAME PLAN! YOU are PATHETIC! I hear AL DAVIS is looking for a new coach, why don't you give him a call, and while you are at it you could take G LOU, LJ, & DONNY MAC with you.

I'm with you bro....whatch ya say Reid how bout going to Oakland....Jim JohnsoN for head coach

MAN D MAC IS PLAYING GREAT!!!!!!!! WTF ITS REID HE NEEDS TO GO>>>>JIM JOHNSON FOR HEAD COACH

ur a joke.. if u know anything about the game u would know donnie is playing great football. the play calling is horrible.. so open your eyes..

Why Donny Mac.. its a west coast offense, watch the press conference.. we might be 1-4 right now without mcnabb.. i agree with g lew and lj but not mcnabb he is top flight quarterback.. andy reid press conference quote... " I have to put my guys in a better position to make plays"... GEEZ no s***.. how many times have we heard that

yea DMac shouldnt even be mentioned in trade talk. Hes one of our best, we need to get a back or WR that can take pressure off our only threat outside of Westbrook who happens to be a rookie. The coach needs to make drastic changes, they prolly wont bring anybody in, but Akers needs to go. Period. Hes lost us 2 games, when rookies our nailing 50+ yarders week after week.

how can people even talk about trading mcnabb? it's funny how fast people forget about how good our back up QBs did last year....the back up threw 8 in 2 1/2 games, while mcnabb threw 7 all year....

yea man peoples emotions are running high, but trading Mcnabb is more Ludacris than andy reids playcalling, hes our best or 2nd best player, he had PLENTY of time, its not his fault at all

I know it's just emotional turmoil right now, but I want to trade the entire team. Even the towel boy!!!!

and what i meant by the west coast offense is the play makers are on the outside for the YAC.. well our receivers can't catch so its hard to get those yards after

Come on Eagles... We can turn this sinking ship around. I have faith that we will overcome this. But damn...

talk all you want about turning the sinking ship around...problem is it is still sinking and we have nothing to bail it out....

agreed again, theres not a single positive sign that this "ship will be turned around"...unless we start by getting a new kicker, Andy hands over his play calling COMPLETELY to MM, and We do our HARDEST or whatever it takes to bring in another playmaker. $20 mil under the F'ing cap and UNDER .500, this is ridiculous.

im satisfied with desean jackson, but the rest? HELL NO WTF is up with reggie brown not getting that touchdown? he's too slow.

and he dropped 2 passes hes a freaking bum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note to Andy Reid DO A BETTER JOB OR STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VERY well put Moma!!!

yes we do need better recievers, but reid has got to do a better job at play calling, and be more open about running the ball. Reid is solely responsible for these 2 losses.

Good points

I'm sick of Reid.....I tried to stick up for Akers last week but he's done. I'm starting to think the only reason he had the success he had was his connection with Koy Detmer. It's time to move on. 2 weeks in a row the can't convert on 3rd and 1 inside the 10. Everyone needs to look in the mirror.....

All true, and I know man. All us real Eagles fans want to do is make excuses for Andy and Akers and the offense and think our playmakers are "good enough", but its GLARING right now and its time to change, bottom line. No more sticking up for a coach who wont say a Gdamn thing after his press conferences besides I need to do a better job there. Weve been hearing that BS for years now, its time to start ACTING and DOING instead of the same old TALKING week after week, year after year...Ok I need to go take out my frustrations once again on my girls baby maker. Ill be back this week. Sick of this BS.

I agree but I don't. Keep reid but don't let him pick the plays (and I mean any play).

Why keep him? His scheme is years out of date and he can'r call a game for sour apples...

your right - i think akers is showing his age now. i mean the skins kicker made a 50 yd kick. this is the NFL akers should've made that kick.

I am pissed, what happened to all that booker and clemons talk? We do it every year we go and get one or to guys and they make it seem like they are what we need to win it all. We have got to become agressive and i'm not talkin about jim johnson's def, I am talkin about everything else. When we need a playmaker don't just get Jackson (good pick up) but find others also. I hate to say it but we have gotten to the point where nobody fears us anymore. What happened?

I have to admit it. I think the writing is on the wall with Reid. Does he even have a QB sneak play on the food menu in his hand?? Two weeks in a row down at the goal line and he refuses to use Mcnabb and his feet. WTF was that handoff in the backfield with four Redskins there almost like they knew it was coming. Not to mention he uses the challenge on a play that wasn't even close, yet no challenge last week when he should have used it?? I just think we are getting close to a time for new blood and new ideas.Something that the whole league has seen 1000 times. I tell you what, if I was Mcnabb, I would ignore what he calls down at the goal line and sneak it myself....and yes, enough with shank Akers already.....

I agree about akers

who? i though he died.... sh!t never mind that was just a dream

about akers...yes i believe that he hasn't been himself since that hamstring injury in '05....but i think a lot has to do with his place holder..he had koy detmer holding for him all those years and was comfortable with him...he always talked highly about detmer's holding ability and knowledge such as leaning the ball for best air and accuracy....then suddenly switch to a guy who is still learning american football i am sure has a lot to do with it....i'm sure sav rocca hasn't learned that leaning the ball to comensate for wind or what have you.......just something to think about....

thats a great excuse.... not good enuff though... he is costing us games! thats is not ok
