I understand your point, I was just clearing that I don't feel he's the reason they are 2-0. Also, yeah I feel that a team who has lost eleven straight is certainly a gimme. I'm not too high on Denver right now either, so that doesn't say much as to Oakland being such a competitive team. They struggled last week against Buffalo too, are they a good team? The Raiders would be 0-2 with Calvin Johnson, too. Looks who's throwing the football! Josh McCown! The guy was a backup in Detroit... Denver's the biggest fraud of all the unbeatens in the NFL right now. That 2-0 record looks good, but beating two mediocre-to-bad teams takes the luster off a bit. |

Andy Reid needs to change up the play calling. Is it really necessary to throw the ball 46 times with a quarterback coming off of a severe knee injury? I would understand if they were screens and what not, but they weren't. He had Donovan trying to heave it down field way too often. Also, we need more emphasis on the run. I am not saying only Westbrook, but get Buckhalter and maybe even Tony Hunt in there a little bit. We are now 0-2 because of poor coaching decisions.

Philly always tries to pass it way too much.

There'd be no problem throwing 46 times if management would get a guy that could catch the ball... sure McNabb was off the mark quite a lot, but half of his incompletions were just terrible execution and focus by the receivers. All Jaws talked about the whole game was how they couldn't even get off the freakin line. The defense wasn't amazing for the Eagles, but the offense is really a disgrace to what those other 11 guys are doing. Christ, at least Todd Pinkston could handle a couple of McNabb passes, even if he did lose a couple "in the lights"

That Terrell Owens guy was a pretty damn good target the year he was there.

The defense would have been fine if the offense would have sustained a possession. The defense got way tired towards the end of the game, not to mention getting beat up. Not having Lito Sheppard out there showed quite often. I think the Redskins first drive William James was beat on 3rd down twice, not to mention the other downs.
As for the receivers, they were not able to get off of the line, like mentioned. Still, that is why you have guys like L.J. Smith, Matt Schobel, and Brian Westbrook. That doesn't make an excuse for the fact that Andy is back to his old ways. Even with a fully healthy McNabb, he can't throw 46 times in a game. You won't keep the clock going, which just hurts the team overall.
