What happened?...1-2

With week 3 over, I think we all find ourselves asking, "what happened and how are we getting off to this poor start?" The Giants put up a decent effort but if it was not for our poor defense and coaching decisions, we could have pulled off a relatively easy win. Defense is defined as the tactics and strategy of defending against an attack. I would love to know where that was Sunday. We had our hopes that Casey Matthews might be more affective in the outisde linebacker postition but it proved obvious that he wasnt when he was beaten on a wide open touchdown pass. Jarrad Page is not making a good argument just yet for why he should be getting in as much as he has, but he is young and I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he will pick it up. The defensive line held up the rush and put some pressure on Manning with 3 sacks and 43 tackles, while rushing the passer rather well. I am assuming that Asamoaugh, Asante Samuel, and Rodgeris-Cromartie just did not feel like coming out to play in their home opener giving up 4 touchdowns. They made Victor Cruz look like Jerry Rice cathching two touchdown passes with 110 yards. I would bring up the fact that Nate Allen is clueless but it is pointless because he has been a no show all year. What a joke that is. Offense...oh boy. I am convinced Andy Reid has overstayed his welcome in Philadelphia. Who runs the ball with Owen Schmidt on the inch yard line when you have Mccoy to go up and over or Ronnie Brown to pound through the middle? Andy's redzone offense has been horrific throughout the years so we knew that this was going to happen. Another thing, when you are on the 40 yard line and it is fourth down, either punt the ball or put Vick in the shotgun so if the coverage is good, he still has the chance to take off for the first down. Here is an idea. When Kafka comes in out of no where, do not abandon the run and do not open off his first drive with a long pass. You are setting him up for disaster and you know it. I will end my post with a plea to the league asking them to pay more attention tot he hits that Vick takes almost every passing play. Just because he is a mobile quarterback does not mean that they should not, throw that little yellow flag that they have in their back pocket like they do for Tom Brady. Thank You

What happne

Another week gone by...1-1

The Eagles played the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday night in a week two showing. The outcome is obvious a 35-31 win over the Eagles put the Falcons and Eagles at 1 win and 1 loss after the first two weeks of football.The defensive scheme for the Eagles would have been very affective if there were linebackers to stop the run and maybe just maybe, be able to stop a fourty something year old tight end in Gonzalez. I mean come on, he has the size but does he have the speed?......I think not. Our defensive line held up with another good showing for Trent Cole and Jason Babin. Our dbacks in Asomugha and Samuel each had a pick in the game so that shows very good promise for th backs and linemen, but will that be enough to do the job for the season. We need these linebackers to step up their game and prove all the nay sayers wrong. Look for Casey Matthews and Moise Fokou to improve throughout the season.  Let's get off the defense and talk about the big O. Michael Vick had a stellar persoformance withover 240 yards passing with 2 td's and 1 int before leaving the game with a concusssion in the fourth quarter. Vick was rushed too many times
and sacked too much in this game. The line is strugggling and you can see it from this week's outcome. Jermemey Mclin had a great gaem with about 20o yards receiveing and another great performance goes to Lesean McCoy. Vick NEEDS to return to the eagles next week healthy and our offensive line needs to keep him healthy. Untill next week.......
