Show Notes: Episode 40 for Wednesday, November 12, 2008
The Philadelphia Eagles lose to the New York Giants 36-31 at home.
The Lincoln Financial Field crowd was stunned after a series of
missteps, predominantly from the coaching staff, cost them the game. A
lot of questions have arisen in this latest loss to yet another NFC
East Division rival. Confidence in the coaching has been lost, and the
fans wonder what can change when your Executive VP of Football
Operations and Head Coach are the same person. At just over the
halfway point for the season, and with the Division being so tough,
hopes are already starting to wane for our playoff chances.
What we discussed:
- We talk about the Giants game, and some of the frustrations
- Giants ran all over the Eagles, and we couldn’t stop them
- The Eagles running was flacid, and it appears that Brian Westbrook is not 100%
- Donovan McNabb was tired at the end of the game, and we wonder how this can still be happening
- Andy Reid cost them this game; his play-calling, lack of
adjustment, and what we feel may be stubbornness, has now made this
team mediocre
- “Caffination”
(Paul) on twitter made a great comment that he wants a “Gruden factor”,
meaning Dungy built the team and Gruden won the Super Bowl
- We find it hard to find a positive from the game, other than Chris Gocong’s huge hit on Brandon Jacobs
- A poll on Bleeding Green Nation shows that Andy Reid’s approval rating is 19%
- Playoff-wise, this team is in a very deep hole now… losing three Division games
- We go over the remaining schedule for the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys, and look at a few other NFC teams
- DirecTV is searching for the ultimate displaced fan.
The winner goes to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa. Most of our out-of-town
listeners (sorry, AussieMike) are eligible for the contest, and we want
one of you to win it! It ends November 30th.
