4-6-PHI 7 (11:45) S.Suisham 25 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-E.Albright, Holder-H.Smith.

Oh look, a pass play on first down at the 23, yeah, ultra conservative. Obviously playing for a field goal.


Sheesh!

Which of those two passes were anywhere near the end zone? Why were we running to the spots that weren't effective at that point in the game?

Two little dink passes in that area IS conservative. Would you like to restate your argument or rescind it?

I think the Kelly, Thomas and Davis are getting better. The O Line seems to be trying harder even though they need over hauled. When is Colt coming back? Is he out the season?
Injured Reserve - not allowed to be on the active roster.

Yep, on that drive, the coaching staff (and apparently the announcers) were quite content with a field goal. That turned out to be pivotal in favor of the Eagles.

I'll never understand that ultra-conservative mentality at this point in the season knowing where we are. You should never, EVER have the outlook that a field goal is fine. It seemed like that's what they were going for from the start. The Patriots don't do that. The Saints and Colts don't do that.

But hey, that's why we're 3-8 I guess...

i have another view of this, even if we got a TD to go up 12 points i think we still lose the game. the eagles had the ball in the redzone late in the fourth quarter when the game was tied, if we were up 5 at that point they would have played it out differently and probably would have scored a TD. I know campbell threw 2 picks that resulted in 2 FG's. The first one was not a good decesion on his part but the 2nd i cant be mad at, we were trying to score points before half. if we just ran the ball 3 times before the half i would have been pissed, so i can handle that pick.

we came out the 2nd half and played good on offense and defense. then in the 4th quarter up by 8 our our D let us down, the key play to me in the game was Landry trying for the kill shoot on Avant and missing the tackle and he got an extra 20 yards on the play.
