NFL Week 16 Thread

[dickay]

McNabb is playing with a bunch of bums. Horrific receivers. Dropped passes all day, poorly run routes and/or lack of understanding of the plays....and boneheaded penalties. Its so simple...they shut down Westbrook and nobody else has the talent to step up.

[dickay]

***** can't run the route into the endzone?

[gRYFYN1]

wow! Aikmen spend 2 minutes saying McNabb has to throw the ball in the endzone and he cant throw it short of it -- Then McNabb throws the ball to a receiver on the 2 yard line!

[TheBigBomber]

Don't blame him, he did the best he could (just turned the channel and saw the last play). That was really close, blame Landry, he got the sweet hit. Without him it would've been a touchdown. Not even a yard away.

[gRYFYN1]

So -- after three weeks of running the ball 31/39 R/P vs cleveland, 36/36 vs NY , 37/39 vs Ari) Andy Ried calls 14 Runs vs 50 pass plays and loses the game for the Eagles -- Absolutely amazing, Ried does everything he can to run the team into the ground -- (on a side note, as a Tampa fan, I have to watch Gruden do the same thing in Tampa)

agreed, what did you guys want him to do, a lob pass? it's not like he threw it to a guy at the 10

Well, actually, I would have liked him to throw it to the guy at the 35, since I did not care too much about the outcome

[etothep]

seriously, how good would steve smith be if he had traditional wr size?

The Saints blew the Lions out the water. Every body of water

Did you even watch the game? First off, the Skins gameplanned well against BW and stuffed him pretty well. Secondly, they would have ran more if it weren't for the horrific play of the WR's, and TE. Many dropped balls (leaving 2 & 3rd and longs), obvious poor run routes/confusion....bad penalties by the receivers and then a designed play to the end zone on the final play and the WR runs the route short! The Eagles should have won pretty handily if they only caught the ball.

if the panthers secondary can step up a little then they're gonna be the team to beat from here out

[OregonDuck1989]

He would most likely be the best wide out the game has ever seen.

But then again...Jerry Rice did not have traditional WR size either...

I think the Panthers have established themselves as the team to beat in the NFC. The Giants however...if the second half goes the same...may have fallen apart at the wrong time.


Who's excited for San Diego-Denver next week? I think it's going to a bloodbath. San Diego is still pissed about week two and now they can get full revenge.

Thats always been their downfall, a lousy receiving core. Im sure Dicey could point out other things, but it always seems like they had trash of receivers in my eyes.

Giants just tied the Panthers with a TD and 2 pt conversion, 28-28 with about 3:30 left.

Looks like the SNF game next week will be Broncos @ Chargers.
