Tampa and Dallas are gonna take the 2 wild card spots, and both have serious potential to make some noise in the playoffsMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193283230105774477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217097463242744569.post-21291243786157102232008-12-16T17:56:00.000-05:002008-12-16T17:56:00.000-05:00the eagles are still on the outside looking in. 1 ...the eagles are still on the outside looking in. 1 loss and their playoff hopes are all but gone. i dont see them beating both dallas and washington. they too inconsistentMatt Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992840656853718534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217097463242744569.post-82869009053674150022008-12-16T16:34:00.000-05:002008-12-16T16:34:00.000-05:00I understand that the things i pointed out were de...I understand that the things i pointed out were definitely nit-picking. However, how can you say that Donovan's accuracy and third and short won't be problems going forward? Those have been our problems all season.<BR/><BR/>The Jackson play and the int are microcosms of the entire season. We get stupid on short yardage situations and don't come up with the necessary play and Donovan makes a few passes every game that are "wildly underthrown" or overthrown.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, Donovan looked fantastic last night. He made throws that I've never seen him make, but I can't shake the feeling that "Phenomenal" Donovan McNabb is back for good. The image of him throwing out routes 5 yards too short is seared into my brain. I hope Donovan is this good next week and again at Dallas but the drive-killing mistakes have to stop. We can't expect to turn the ball over multiple times against Dallas and still get a win. And we can't expect to do that in the playoffs.Mike @ weretheteamtobeat.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526151137337492096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217097463242744569.post-11217474590910420022008-12-16T08:26:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:26:00.000-05:00Just wondering if you watched the same game I did?...Just wondering if you watched the same game I did? Reid struggled on 3rd and short? The Eagles went 11-17 on 3rd down conversions. 2 of those missed conversions were by Kolb, two were interceptions(only one by McNabb), and 1 was a sack which the play had no bearing on. None of the missed 3rd downs was short distance except for Jackson's interception. Also McNabb's ball was not "wildly underthrown" It does not need to be put at the pylon, it needs to be put just over the recievers shoulder which it was a bit short of but not "wildly" I will be the first to be critical of the Eagles but these things you pointed out are not "definitely going to be a problem moving foward"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
