Or let Kolb try to beat us, which he failed to do and shouldnt have even had the chance to throw the last minute hail mary(los).
Look our team held the Eagles to 12 points and shutdown their star wideouts. And we got the W. If anything you should be upset at Los for dropping the pick, some playcalling and McNabb for running out of bounds when he could have pretty much killed the game.
Blitzing is not the only answer. The idiots on TV would like you to believe that, but it's not true.
Actually, blitzing when we should have been playing the pass, probably contributed a lot to our losses against Houston and St. Louis. I'm glad Haslett has found some discipline in using the blitz.

Why in the hell did the skins not blitz kevin kolb not ONE TIME once he entered the game? I mean they just let him sit back there and dink and dunk his way down the field and came very close to losing the game because of this stupid defensve strategy.
Did anyone else besides me almost have a STROKE on the last play of the game?
Maybe we should have mixed a few in here and there. But the main reason is we can't cover!

Why is everyone bitching? Maclin 1 catch Jackson 2 catches. I think that means we can cover

why didnt we blitz as much?
imo for all the reasons previously stated as well as the fact that we jumped to an early 14-0 lead and with the running game controling the clock, why go blitz heavy and run the risk of quick scores or getting into a shoot out?
im just guessin thoo, only saw bits and pieces of the game.

I got a question, why is our offense great in the first quarter, and then disappears in the rest of the game?
Philly was super aggressive in the second half...run blitzes were coming from everywhere. McNabb missed at least 3-4 throws bad and then just completely on the wrong page with guys the other times. He struggled horribly the second half. The playcalling seemed to get very conservative. Lots of boots which were covered 95% time the 2nd half. Adjustments were made by Philly, I think Shanny and Kyle went conservative to protect the lead...which I ok with at the very end of the game, but early/middle of the 3rd? I didnt like that

3 catches but you're right.
We shut them down AND as McNabb said after the game, showed they made a huge mistake. :food-smil

Also keep in mind, Torain is nowhere near the blocker/QB bodyguard as Portis is.

Another important thing to note: haslett planned the whole week to face vick, and had to adapt his game plan on the fly when kolb came in. Given that I'd say he did a great job, especially considering what we've seen from him the last couple weeks.
