Skins v. Eagles Gameday Thread (Round 2)

I never thought we could get any more conservative than we were during the Gibbs regime. Man, was I wrong. Playing for field goals instead of touchdowns cost us the last two games. This team is not good enough to sit on marginal leads against division rivals on the road.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why we say on that lead today. If it was ever more evident of our coaching deficiencies, the last two weeks have demonstrated that.

Can we just throw in the white towel so that we can just stopnwatching this shit

skinsfaninok · 11-29-2009, 04:41 PM

Yeah man, Campbell was killing me out there giving up 11 4th quarter points. I was yelling at the TV when he gave up those long receptions. I mean, what was he doing? How he didn't stuff the run at all even when the Eagles kept running in the same gap and gashing our defense was ridiculous!

You were saying?

Exactly, there is no excuse for it. This is a 3-8 football team, there is absolutely no reason we should be this conservative.

this was a team loss. coaching, offense and defense. but when a play has to be made jc seems to always fall short and that was the difference today. mcnabb made some stick throws when it was needed and ours threw it in the dirt when the game was on the line. i thought jc played ok but mcnabb was better.

That is definitely a bright spot and I think Zorn should get some credit for that. With all the changes we've gone through on the o-line and losing our top 2 RB's, it would be easy to quit but we haven't.

Agreed. My post was in reaction to saying he 'choked'. I don't know how the defense giving up an 11 point lead equates to him 'choking'.

I agree. Jason Campbell is a mediocre quarterback. He lacks the one thing that makes quarterbacks great, and that is a killer instinct. Campbell is way to content with just managing the game, he plays scared and he is afraid of taking chances and I believe that stems form his very conservative coaches (Gibbs, Zorn). I wanted to give Campbell a fair chance, but I have come to the conclusion that he will always just be an okay QB and he will never lead this team deep into the playoffs. It is time to start looking elsewhere for a quarterback.

couldn't agree with you more, but if we had a solid line and a good running game we could win with him. but nothing will ever fix his innaccuracy.

Meanwhile, Jay Cutler throws his 100th interception of the year.

InsaneBoost · 11-29-2009, 05:33 PM

On the bright side, it's almost all over my friends. Then we can keep our eyes on the one team in D.C that does something, the Capitals.

I told y'all we'd be closer to the number 1 after today.

Trample the Elderly · 11-29-2009, 06:07 PM

As far as the draft goes, it would look something like this:

Tampa Bay 1-10
Cleveland Browns 1-10
St. Louis 1-10
Detroit Lions 2-9
Washington Redskins 3-8
Oakland Raiders 3-8
Kansas City Chiefs 3-8 I assume that SD is going to win.

We'd have the fifth.
