westin Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 What were they doing late in the third quarter? The way the Eagles were taking their time you'd thought they were up by a few scores. No urgency at all. I just don't get it. Did anyone else pick up on the Eagles poor time management? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 That was really wierd ... McNabb calling guys to a huddle rather than a no huddle ... hmmmm ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I really meant in the late fourth quarter...under five minutes...where was the no huddle? 687160[/snapback] Oh. Actually, yeah I noticed. I was really surprised how slow their no huddle was once they went to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yes. I noticed it as well. Horrible. So was the decision to not have someone back to catch the punt. If you're going to do that, TRY TO BLOCK THE KICK. Very poor management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 You know what really shocked me, play calling wise, was the Pats decision to run the ball to the middle on a 3rd and 5 right toward the end of the game. Faulk was lucky to get back the line of scrimmage. Terrible call. Just awful. My husband and I both let out a big, *** was that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 That was bad towards the end...Philly kind of nutted up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Goes Frazia Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 their management then did suck...... but IMO some of their major mistakes were made early in the game. Turnovers in the in the 1st. & 2nd. quarters were hugh. You're only gonna make it into the redzone a few times & to waste opportunities on 2 of 4 posessions to start the game was bad, bad juju.

Chargerz Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) Their time management with five minutes left sucked so bad that everyone watching the game with us was going ballistic!!! It was like they were on a stroll in the park. Couple that with the fact that they only had two time-outs left and HAD to go for an on-side kick really killed their chances for a win. It was painful to watch! Edited February 7, 2005 by Chargerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else pick up on the Eagles poor time management? 687159[/snapback] The real question was why they didn't feel a sense of urgency in the 4th quarter with less than 5 minutes to go and down 10 points ... that screams for a no huddle. Very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very bad. 687394[/snapback] They could have easily given themselves another 30 seconds to work with on that last desperation drive. Also, (and I realize it's tough to criticize someone for catching a pass) Brian Westbrook should have ahd the presence of mind to drop that first-down dump-off at the line of scrimmage with 46 seconds left. It cost them 24 seconds. Actually, I guess McNabb should have ahd the presence of mind not to throw it. Rush was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 not only was clock mamgement in the 4th the worst I've seen since watchign a Jet game, but what were they thinking at the end of the 1st half? The score was tied, they had the ball on their 20 with about 1:20 to go. They had TO's to use, but didnt call one until the clock was down to abotu 17 seconds. If they knew how to runa 2 minute drill, or manage a clock, they easily could have gotten into FG range (they had moved to the 45 or so already). This is a full team problem and it cost you a SB... coach, McNabb, Westbrook... all you Eagle fans can stew on that for 8 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like the Eagles were content to go into the half tied and were planning on running out the clock...they didn't start trying to move the ball downfield or call a timeout until after New England had done so. Baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolv Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 McNabb lost them the game - he was awful. But the lack of clock use was pathetic. I wonder who will take the heat for that - Reid or McNabb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was astounded when the first play was Westbrook up the middle ... then after that they throw a couple of times there Hurry up offense ... get 3 on the board ... would have been HUGH.

Westbrook should have known better than to catch that pas at the end of the 4th, that cost them 20 seconds easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
