eh, sports fans may be nuts, most especially when it comes to the NFL, however I don't think the ruminations of "FIRE ANDY REID" aren't that far from being justifiable

I mean, come on. Andy Reid was handed, through his owners spending money, on a very talented crop of cornerbacks, QBs (back ups too), etc etc. the fact that the Eagles are constantly competitive for 3 quarters, and then crumble and lose in the 4th, obviously points to bad coaching. the Eagles are most obviously bare in linebacking, as they have been ran all over. but that's okay! we all knew their LBs were young

however - Philly's secondary is supposed to be second-to-none! and they've been getting thrown all over! Tom Brady made Philly's secondary look worst than his own (New England) secondary - and that's no easy feat, for even a QB of Brady's stature

Andy Reid has constantly been way too pass-happy. before it was excusable because his personnel swayed to that direction. however, now, with a stud RB in LeSean McCoy, it is not. on the other hand, I've thought, if they Fire Andy Reid - then what?

If Andy Reid is addicted to passing the football, what does that make Mike Martz? And the Iggles should have won when they had TO playing on that broken leg. That was their year, imo.

btw, if the Lions don't make a decent playoff run I'm punching axl in the face.
 
lol I love how much shit I get from you faggots, in my own very forum - why would u punch me of all people for the Lions failing, MP?

you're lucky I don't abuse my BL powers and ban every single one of you skinny, sweaty, under-performing nerd-fags

come at my bros (and girl), because you know the BL Powers-That-Be have never so much as read a single thread in this forum

;)
 
sometimes i feel like posting in this forum is just like when you're at a weird party and end up drunk and alone in a corner making friends with the cats.

i'm really scared that ram's next head coach might either be rob ryan or andy reid

i see jack del rio is available, i'd take him over those fat fucks

at least give me someone with head coaching experiance, no more of this ex-quality coordinator bullshit

does anyone even remember scott linehan?

NY LOVED Steve Spagnuolo, I would love to see him back with the G-Men.

Is it better to be a great coordinator, or a shitty head coach? I'm not saying he's a shitty head coach, since I don't think he has a lot to work with over there.
 
The thing I like about Tebow is that he is showing coordinators that there are more possibilities than simply the same old cliched plays that everyone runs. There's more than just West Coast, running/play action, and Peyton Manning's style. I wish there were more serious variations in offenses and ballsy play calling, and coaches who aren't slaves to their cookie cutter systems that they try to force players to conform to. I hope the wildcat offense is the start of a trend of this, and Tebow is looking like he's proving that it is viable to win like that at least against regular season opponents. I hope this trend continues and gets even wilder and more varied.

I'd really like to see a more widespread use of laterals in the game during regular offenses. I always think about if teams are desperate to score a touchdown with limited time left, and they start tossing laterals around the field to gain more yards than they would normally, then why not try to gain yards like that with actual planned and practiced plays? If you gain like twice as many yards as you would, and sometimes break free for a touchdown, ala the Titans vs the Bills in the playoffs, then it'd make sense that you could really catch teams off guard, and even if you don't catch em off guard, it's still a lot harder to stop the play than it would otherwise be.

Also who thinks Caldwell is going to get fired from the Colts at the end of the season or during the offseason? He has never even remotely impressed me with his coaching, and I think he doesn't offer anything to the team.
 
I think Caldwell sucks and should be fired, yeah

but I also think that formations like the Wildcat and Tim Tebow's offense, are more for high school. I'm going to agree with NFL coaches here. congrats to Tebow, he's winning. but as I've said before here it is one thing to win for one year in the NFL. the most difficult part is keeping the winning ways that year after, when you have a huge target on your back but also because Defensive Coordinators can successfully plan against your team

ex: the Wildcat was hot a year or two in the NFL. is it even used anymore? maybe only for specialty packages
 
This type of offense wouldn't work if the defense wasn't as good as Denvers is right now. In the games that Tebow has played in and won, the defense only let up 15, 24, 10, 13, and 13 points. In all of those games, the Broncos barely put up any more than that, and only scored a lot against Oakland.
 
^those are good Christian scores, mind you, none of that devilish greed of blowing the opponents out of the water. Like Daniel in the lion's den.
 
^ Oh yea. So he's making the opponent feel good for 3/4's before actually trying and beating them. ;)

That game's called Rugby. In fairness, if youre desperate for a TD with 30 seconds on the clock, why would you quadruple the chances of turning over the ball with minimal reward, You cant practice for the chance of some linebacker coming out of nowhere and giving your wide receiver a concussion. It might work 1/100 times.

Well, my point was that you'd be more likely to turn the ball over if you are just trying to improvise, but if you have actual planned plays that you practice with the starting players and the practice squad, then you're chance of screwing them up would go down.

I do like rugby, but it's almost never on in the Sates.
 
what a shit show that game was last night.

i wonder if Vince Young is gonna pull the "i'm gonna kill myself" card again.

he looked pretty suicidal after that 3rd pick.

It really was shit, fucking interception on his first throw...hes just not up to the job. A depressing viewing as an eagles fan. Now all I can hope for is we take down the cowboys and try and help ruin their shit.

Thats a shame, i always believed it would catch on in the States on a professional level but if theres little interest at grass roots, its doomed. I mean if Soccer is still kinda laughed at, Rugby hasn't got a hope. The potential for moulding some top drawer American rugby players is enormous considering the vast population and Nfl fanbase.

As an Eagles fan, what are your thoughts on Desean Jackson? Do you think he wants out of Philly, and that's why he is playing this way? Even if that's the case, it's not a good thing to do if you are looking for a big contract elsewhere.
