Comments on: Eagles’ Proudly Display Flaws In Typical Eagles Loss http://www.reclinergm.com/eagles-proudly-display-flaws-in-typical-eagles-loss/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:41:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: phillyfan http://www.reclinergm.com/eagles-proudly-display-flaws-in-typical-eagles-loss/#comment-22981 phillyfan Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:00:33 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=7912#comment-22981 when is the last time McNabb did what Rivers did yeasterday?  Honestly, when?  Has it happened in the past 5 years?  I mean the last 2 minutes and leave the other team next to nothing to come back.  It is so rare when the eagles are down 10 points at any time of the game that they ever come back to win.  Seems like if the Eagles aren't up at half-time, they will lose.  It is so weird to me that the Eagles offense is relatively quick-strike but really has a tough time coming from behind. when is the last time McNabb did what Rivers did yeasterday?  Honestly, when?  Has it happened in the past 5 years?  I mean the last 2 minutes and leave the other team next to nothing to come back.  It is so rare when the eagles are down 10 points at any time of the game that they ever come back to win.  Seems like if the Eagles aren’t up at half-time, they will lose.  It is so weird to me that the Eagles offense is relatively quick-strike but really has a tough time coming from behind.

These things are permanent, ownership is at fault.  They know Andy isn't going to change, it's up to Lurie to either force the changes or get a new coach.

Is that what Celek was doing? I had no idea. If the Cowboys would have gone 3 and out and we get the ball back with 2 min, is there a chance in hell McNabb and Reid put together a 2 min game winning drive? Captain Morgan?

AR has never been any good with a clock, and McNabb couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. They suck, period.
