We are going to have to figure out how to get a more downfield passing game. I know it’s hard against the eagles which is why you can’t get in 3rd and 11.

The key is to get short 3rd downs by running with JT on 1st and 2nd down. That’s how we did it on our opening drive, we need to stick to that

need to play safe against a defense that is really good at getting turnovers.

 

we need to wear them down on the D line. 

 

we are doing fine. only a couple questionable calls so far.

 

Raimann holding penalty derailed that drive.

We are not going to win this game by forcing the ball down the field on 3rd and long. It was the right call. 

I’m not asking to force the ball downfield, just don’t like throwing it to the flat to our second string RB against two defenders. A short crosser or bubble would have worked better I think

Were playing the Eagles a top 5 offense in the league why are we playing safe

 

You do realize that those of you crying for us to push the ball downfield on 3rd and long... That's exactly what Frank did... And it got us into trouble. 

 

Do you want Frank back, or are you good with Saturday influencing how we run the offense?

I’m fine with being a bit more conservative, we just need to be aggressive at the right times. Haven’t seen an opportunity for it yet, but hopefully Parks takes some shots on 2nd and short or similar

What you are wanting is not our game... It is not our game plan... And it is not how we will win this game. 

I agree, but if we can't cook up a pass play to gain 11 yards, we can't play with the big boys... or mediocre boys...

I am going to let you talk to yourself the rest of the way... 

LOL

 

I don't know how else to explain this to you. :)

  Ryan does not have a "beautiful mind". Yes we want the ball out very quick he just doesn't ever seem smarter than their DC.

I wasn’t trying to say you were wrong, I was just cordially explaining my position, but if you want to be rude about it that’s your choice man

Lots of them do so successfully.  Having said that, I prefer that head coaches not call offensive or defensive plays.

True, Andy Reid is a great play caller. I think it takes an experienced head coach to juggle both though, smart of Sirriani to delegate play calling to an OC
