Bird Feed - Unable to Fly
The most obvious cause of Sunday's eagles' conflicts is Donovan McNab. McNabb looked like JaMarcus "Rush" ell. He hurried, confused, and sailed most of his passageways wide, high, low, and even cut off some worms. This is not news. McNabb has a few of these games in every season. Although, if I'm Andy Reed, I'll take McNabb aside this week and tell him that he has two weeks to control his accuracy before he visits the bench. While it is true that none of McNabb's mistakes directly led to defeat, he missed several receivers for the first landing and failed to command the attack on the engine production point in the fourth quarter (not counting the goal of the garbage field). Reed also deserves some blame for the offensive performance of the offense. The cowboy was in the McNabb grille for most of the first half. Typically, the coach will manage the ball a bit more or call for faster pass ways to slow the rush speed and help him to return to the middle. It was my favorite to see them running the ball last night. The jogging was effective (3.9 yards / rash), but Reed's demand for an ongoing game was as easy as asking Alan Iverson to get out of the bench.
Where were the large receivers last night and why did not we take the shots at the bottom? Happy to ask you. First, let's cover the wide reception. Both Jeremy McLean and Jason Jackson are fast and really fast. Unfortunately, as with most fast receptors, they are not large or physical. If the attack line provides loads of McNabb time, its size is irrelevant. When McNabb is under pressure, the size is important. Because of their position, both receivers struggled to get out of the line when pressed by Dallas corners. McNabb needed them to open in 1.5 - 2.5 seconds instead of 3 - 5 seconds they had in recent weeks. It should also be noted that Reid spends the highest percentage of the team's salaries on-line but is not reliable. Yes, the recipients could not get away from the line, and McNabb blessed them when they were open, but incompetence started up front and spread through an entire crime like swine flu.
As for landing attempts, Cowboys performed the perfect game plan. First, press McNabb in advance. Regardless of whether you keep the rest of the game warm, McNabb has shown that he responds poorly to his pressure and strikes early in the matches. Second, do not let DeSean Jackson lag behind the secondary. Cowboys sat on top of the safety and forced Jackson and his wound to make accurate passes within 20 yards of the tit-for-tat. Three, McNabb made the completion of those permits within 20 yards of the skirmish line. Cowboys knows that this is where McNab will fight from time to time. He fought Sunday night. Cowboyz took bread and butter vultures and forced the smaller recipients and McNabb to make the plays in traffic. They were not at the challenge, especially McNabb.
I watch every NFL game at the beginning of the game regardless of whether the Eagles are playing. I can honestly say that, aside from the performance of the titans against the ponies and of course the Red Indians, the vultures perform worse than any team. He was ugly last night, Reed proved why he was the most capable coach since Gordon Bombay sabotaged the US hockey team in the movie "The Strong." The first challenge was not necessary, and the field goal in the end was only inexplicable by the gambling problem (Reid was obviously the eagles in the two teams tease). His game was once again dubious, dubious. (It should be noted that the Reid game is always in doubt until December, almost as if he knows how to win, but he refuses to apply this pattern to the absolute necessity, perhaps to prevent his adversary from circumventing, or perhaps because he hates to go to The house so much that it lengthens every game by passing 70% of the time, may never know, all we know is that it causes migraines, stress attacks, and sugar across the Delaware Valley all fall.
In addition to Reed's failures, the Eagles had two points that actually affected the scoreboard. The first was back to the beginning for the landing comes out in half. The impact here was limited because the offense had paid the pitch and recorded anyway. The second penalty came after Sheldon Brown's objection in the third quarter. After Brown's return, Eagles had the ball in the 35-yard Dallas line. The low-mass punishment gave the possession of the eagles on their own 12. Instead of the target field position, the crime was buried within their own 20. Worst of all, the penalty was scored by striker Moise Foucault who replaced injured Chris Jocong.
Now, let me stare for a moment. Defense, as usual, is good enough to make deep progress in qualifying. However, they have not established themselves as a unit that will win a game or two throughout the year. Think I'm wrong? Look at the table. The Eagles defense could have easily won the Ryder game if they had not missed a handful of fights at the narrow end of Zack Miller in a 86-yard race. The "narrow end" and "deceptive" should never be used in the same sentence unless the term "ban" is mixed somewhere. The Eagles needed the best of their defense in the second week against the New Orleans Cents. With McNabb's exit and the culprit into a new midfield, the defense responded by giving up 421 yards of offense and 41 points. (Yes, the transformations have contributed to many of these points, but Eagle's defense is always proud to reduce opposition to field goals about deep rotation at the end.) This brings us to Sunday night. The crime was clearly wrestling. Therefore, the defense will be required to keep the eagles in the game until they are forced to switch their turn or find McNabb on the groove. Trent Cole and his man made this fun for three quarters.
Unfortunately, it all collapsed on a third and 14-minute pass from Tony Romo to Miles Austin with a seven-minute stay. (By the way, if you find Jock's belt, Sheldon Brown, please tell him, he was looking for him.) How many times will Brown burn in the double move before he learns? Even with Brown's slip, the defense still had a chance to give one foul in the final to tie the game. At first, when all 68,000 attendees knew that the cowboys were running, the Eagles surrendered 16 yards. In the third and fourth of that, Safety Quentin Mikel decided to play 6 yards from the narrow end of Dallas, Jason Witten. If you hand someone $ 500 and ask them to bet on who will go to Romo to ticket 3 and 4, how many will choose Whitten? 75%? 80%? Eagle put their "best" defensive player on the most likely option, and Mikel was not mentally able to make the play. On a night full of embarrassing moments, that was one of the worst moments.
There you have, 1200 words worth of eagle failures from Sunday night. One can assume I jumped the ship ... no escape. I still think the Eagles are one of four or five teams that can win the NFC. Any Eagle fan will remind you not to judge Andy Reed's football team until the end of December. For any reason, Reed and the players bring their best in the last month of the year. I expect the same year.
