They really seem to be playing 17 on 11. Not that some of the penalties weren't penalties, but seems like their eyes were closed for the team in blue. There is a lot to like about this team though. Just kicked the FG to make it 23-21 so let's see how this plays out.

We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals. -

A day later
Man that was a frustrating game. Definitely a game they should have won but it doesn't happen. The reasons are obvious. The D didn't show up in the beginning--how in the hell do you let them walk down the field like that during their first three possessions I will never know. The refs have to be looked at--that performance was ridiculous. Doug & Co have to send tape of dozens of calls to the league and ask for that ref team to be blown up. Mathews just made a juvenile mistake in carrying the ball in the wrong hand. Not sure why you make that call at the end of the game when we don't have that kind of a receiver but they should have never been in that position.
But.....I thought Wentz played well. I also thought our receivers played well for the most part (DGB should have been able to keep that TD but the back made a good play with his hands). The D showed up late and played well but they need o show up at game time. Doug called a pretty good game again. I do think teams are getting more tape and starting to get a handle on the birds O.
They mentioned during the game how the birds change things up series to series. I'm not sure every team doesn't try that. But the birds do have Reich, DeFillipo, and Pederson who have all been OCs. As time goes on it might be nice to have one or the other have more influence in the game plan or play calling in order to be less predictable.
EDIT: This was supposed to be a separate thread. Not sure how I put it in with mm's thread.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy

Those are all good points ND. Charles Davis pointed out that the Bird receivers just don't get any separation yet Wentz still finds the windows to get the ball to them. I don't think the kid has very far to be great because he may be there right now!
As far as the refs go a lot of it was a complete joke. There was a lot of confusion among them as to what the hell was going on and they didn't even explain half most of their screw ups. That crew must be part of the Good Ol Boys club because they stink and still work games. The NFL needs professional refs but are just too cheap to do it."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"Comment

hell one play they called an ineligible receiver downfield (Barwin by the way who isn't in the game) on a pass at the sideline where they thought the ball may have come loose and after the looking at things it turned into a completion. Umm, what happened to the ineligible?Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy

Yeah that was total confusion with no explanation. The aren't many Hockulys out there and he's not getting any younger. What the hell is going to happen when he retires???Originally posted by NoDakIggle` View Post"Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"Comment

What about the leaping call? Then it wasn't leaping. Who saw the leap? Who changed the call? That's about as ridiculous as it gets. Well, next to all the other bullshit calls and missed calls.Comment

Well he really didn't really leap, he jumped so there was no flag.Originally posted by Rossovich View Post"Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"Comment

I have TIVO so I rewound the leaping call. I really didn't see anything there to warrant leaping. So while they correctly picked up the two flags, they were flags that shouldn't have been thrown. Heck they couldn't even figure out what team was on offense or defense. Bad calls and missed calls are going to happen but the way that game was so blatantly called one sided you have to wonder.Were from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!Comment

Did sproles even touch the lion on the chop block.
Or more accurately: was anyone even really engaged with him?Comment

Engaged? There wasn't even a guy within 5 feet of him. The call was ridiculous.Originally posted by sfphillyfan View Post"Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"Comment

Hell any Sproles block is a chop block. The man isn't tall enough to do anything but chop block. You can't call a guy for blocking a tall guy just because he is short.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy

IMO it was one helluva legal block.

Yeah, the Sproles block was a thing of beauty.
Did the refs feel the need to throw a flag just because the guy got his ass kicked so badly?http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...
