OT: Redskins Vs. Eagles

[NJCardFan]

This has playoff implications. Eagles win and they're still alive. Redskins win and I think they clinch the Least. 16-10 Redskins at the half, however, Kirk Cousins had a brain fart at the end of the half. 6 seconds left with no timeouts on the Eagle 6 yard line and he takes the snap and...takes a knee ending the half.

That was horrific clock management by the Skins. And they will still beat the Eagles because Philly is struggling on both sides of the ball.

This reminds me of those 7-9 Hawks and Rams a few years ago. That was when Beastmode was created, and the Hawks beat the heavily favored Saints.

Wouldn't it be awesome for the Skins to play out of their minds for one game and upset the Seahawks? It would be the circle of life!

Is RG3 that bad or what is up with him. Last what does OT: this or that in a thread title mean?

OT means Off Topic.

I would have never guessed that.

Thank you.


OT: I hate the catch no catch thing.

OK, another catch/no catch call. Bradford finds Cooper deep. Cooper makes the catch, cradles the ball, gets tackled, lands on his back, ball pops out, he tries to wrangle it and he rolls over and the ball hit the ground but he was on top of it. Ruling on the field: no catch. Eagles challenge, no catch. Looked like a catch to me. I simply don't understand it. The rule USED to be you make the catch, and make a "football move", and it's a catch and whatever happens happens. Now, no one really knows what a catch it.

That was a catch most of my life.

 

[Jasper]

Philly's D is really soft.

 

[NJCardFan]

Philly's receivers have developed skillet hands.

Feel pretty bad for Sam tbh. He was smart to decline a extension.

As bad as the rule is, though, Chip Kelly should never have challenged that. Not that the lost timeout turned out anyway.

On the replay, as soon as Cousins went down on his knee you could tell he realized what he just did. Michael Irvin was right when he said that wasn't a brain fart, that was a brain boo boo, it didn't just smell, he left something on the floor.

I personally have no interest in seeing Chip Kelly fail. Guys like him bring innovation to the game. I'm not suggesting what he is attempting to do is the wave of the future for the NFL but parts of what he is doing will be adopted by the mainstream at some point. Good luck to him in this endeavor.

He brings nothing to the NFL game except for ignorance & arrogance. 1 more game & he's done in the big boy league. Remember Bobby Petrino?

Bobby Petrino didn't last a singe season while Chip has a winning record over 3 years. Good coach, terrible GM.

I love the way you are thinking, but I see Seattle in AZ for NFC conference championship as destiny.

Bad example, but I will assure you the players on that team hate him just the same which was my point. He traded away or let most of its talent get away thinking "the system works" regardless of the talent. Sound familiar?

That wouldn't be awesome at all. It would basically give the Panthers a cake walk into the NFC Title game. I want them beat to hell after surviving Seattle or Seattle to beat them which would let us host the title game.

Let's look at some of the moves Kelly has made in his 3 years as coach:

Cut Desean Jackson, a top WR and replaced him with nothing. The receiving corp suffered.

Traded a top back for an injury prone LB and replaced him with an injury prone RB and the defending NFC rushing champ. End result, Murray has been reduced to #3 and the running game is mediocre at best.

Cut 2 decent offensive linemen. End result, one of the best offensive lines is now one of the worst who can't open running lanes for their high priced backs.

Failed to resign Jeremy Maklin reducing their receiving corp to a bunch of #3's on down. End result, no break away receivers, no deep threats, and a bunch of dropped balls.

The only decent move he did make was trading for Bradford who is showing that he can still put up numbers and be a good if not above average QB, however he has no one to throw to aside from Ertz who's developed Housler-itus this season and has no consistent running game behind him that will open up the passing game.

These are moves that Chip Kelly has made where he had carte blanche and he blew it. He took one of the best and most consistent offenses in the game and turned them into the early 2000's Cardinals.

Great Post. And he did all of that with a smug, i-told-you-so attitude. Hard for me to believe I wanted him as coach for the Cards. They got a huge pass last year on an ugly missed holding call on badger, that is what made this year's whipping so satisfying and well deserved.

Actually the holding on HB was in 2013 and probably cost us a playoff spot.
