Its time for joe to step down.

He probably thinks your last name is funny...

He probably can't spell my last name either, even though it only has four letters.

Wait.. my last name on the site is Fan, that's only three letters.

We blew two TO's in second half that would have come in quite handy w/ 2:31 left on a last ditch drive. Also called a TO earlier w/ 2:06 on the clock that seemed to only benefit Philly.

Calling time out to avoid running a bad play doesn't have anything to do with clock management.

Praylow is the guy with the funny last name, which I refuse to try to spell correctly because I don't want to look it up. Secondly, mistakes on defense are part of "generally speaking the sloppiest, most disorganized team in professional football." Penalty after penalty (on both sides of the ball) is sloppy and disorganized. Defense caving in when ONE FRIGGIN GUY goes out w/ an injury is sloppy and disorganized. IMO.

take a second....

How was the clock management horrific today? Could you cite specific examples?
I am actually still in Gibbs corner but....
TO instead of a delay of game penalty right before trying a 23 yd fg.
Several instances of not getting plays in quick enough.
Too many men on defense.
Not the worst game but it still hurt.

So I just came to the warpath to check in on you all, and this is the first thread I see lol. :doh: typical

Injuries. Lost Portis for the season, Santana was hurt last year, transition from Brunell to Jason Campbell, and our defense collapsing last season. That is what explains last season.


Portis wasn't a huge blow as Betts came on nicely. The QB situation had Gibbs all over it as he refused to put JC in to salvage the season. Defense collapsed as it was on the field for most of the game due to a horrid passing attack due to MB starting as a result of Gibbs obstinance.

Earlier, as in the first half when they were about to punt and we were trying to prevent them from running the clock down to two minutes? That was the right move at the time and Philly did not end up scoring. If they hadn't of called the To then, you'd be bitching about that.

As to the last drive, TO's don't do any good when you can't get a first down so it was not a factor. It could have been but it wasn't. 2:30 is plenty of time to move down the field with or without TOs. Yes you would prefer to have them, but it had little impact on the game today.

well it could if its too early, like in the third. then forcing you to decide in the fourth how to deal with the remaining time with 2 time outs.

or how about when we didnt have any timeouts to challenge the CAUGHT ball by mccardell i believe. i understand that had nothing to do with clock management, but the first part does.

I do agree Gibbs either needs to step up or step down. I would rather see another coach in there having success than see Gibbs in there tarnishing his HOF record.

Calling the TO w/ 2:06 in the 1st half is Gibbs being aggressive. He was blasted earlier in the year for letting the clock run down to the 2 minute warning when they were going to try hurry up offense. It retrospect it did help Philly because we went 3 and out but if Lloyd makes the catch or we convert the 3rd down it would have been nice to have time to try to score before half. Can't have it both ways. Play aggressive and run the risk of giving them the ball back with time or kill the last 2 minutes and have no shot at points before the half.
