Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

Game Thread: Eagles @ Seahawks 2

Jj_flag_detail1_tiny by John Morgan on Comment 197 comments

Quick Cap:

It's a good, tight ball game. Seattle needs its run game to make some strides, because through the half the Eagles have turned it into a liability. Obviously, the Eagles have an excellent run D and are sitting run, but getting some gains, converting some firsts, that's what Seattle needs to take some burden off Wallace. Wallace has played well. He's holding the ball too long and is hit and miss under pressure - flipping two impossibly stupid "passes" - but this is a damn good defense and he's making some good passes, finding open men and has suffered some drops. Right now, Wallace is outperforming his offense.

The D is playing strong, but you can see some cracks. If Seattle can't keep its offense on the field, the bend breaks and the Eagles will turn this into a blowout. We're already starting to see that.

Despite the score, this game is trending badly. If this season ever had a man-up time, it's the second half of this game.

I think that's unfair to the rest of the offense.

The rest of the offense is having to dumb everything down because of Wallace in the first place, that really limits what plays can be called and REALLY makes it tough for the running game. The Eagles are giving us the pass (in one case, the biggest one, almost literally).

I do give you that the drops have hurt.

Oh the Cowboys are so funny

Have a great wide receiver core…defense is decent…but oops. Didn’t invest in a backup QB!

I fucking hate you Mariners

Screw it

I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to ramchallenge.com. I want to know why that house explodes when they drive through it.

So only one episode is available right now.

We have to wait to see the building explode another time.

I thought I saw the left foot in bounds

then the right foot dragging before the knee hit the turf. I need to see it again, though.

Hmmm.

I got one look and started typing so I’ll wait for the replay.

these Mac commercials are making me want to throw up

that stupid, cheeky piano score is painful to the brain.

Damn.

Well, can’t win with reviews. Need to actually stop the player.

"Drinkability"

It’s as if they said “Budweiser tastes good” people would just snort and call bullshit.

FUCK...what a throw

I fucking hate you Mariners

No kidding

when will the hawks go into hurry up offense…with less than 2 mins left?

by hawkr on Nov 2, 2008 3:26 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So what's with Wallace's 16-step drop pass?

Is he claustrophobic or something when it comes to stepping up into the pocket?

by Wilder. on Nov 2, 2008 3:26 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

YES

LET DEHAVEN HAVE IT MIKE

Good grief.

John Ryan is my biggest suckfest of today’s game.

Oh look.

Another third down blitz that ends in disaster.

OH MY GOD

This is fricking painful… how many times can we ahve guys with clean shots at the QB and just have them wave a hand by…

FUCK.

I don’t think I can handle another full season of this…

OH WAIT we did it again as I was talking.

HAHAHAHAH!

Who was the seahawk defender who jumped in the air, ostensibly blocking McNabbs pass? He missed McNabb by miles.

officially out of reach

watch to clock management, they’ll walk to every huddle

by hawkr on Nov 2, 2008 3:55 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so, the question is...

should we go 2-6 as of today, and the Cards pretty much taking over the division,

do we pretty much give up on actually making the playoffs and start preparation for next season?

by djafrot on Nov 2, 2008 4:01 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

06 Vikings game with first pass D.Jackson slant for TD

yeah, good bye playoffs. 7-1 the rest of the way is not possible.

"I know this, the Cards can't win on the east coast"

I’m actually rooting for the Cards to win a game on the east coast.

#1 team in DVOA, #1 team in DVOA, #1 team in DVOA...

it’s plausible that it would have been a repeat of the NYG game if this was on the road. They, incidentally, are #2 now.

Half-assed pass rush

Horribly stupid and not at all disguised blitzing and atrocious display of hands by the receivers. Basically everything you thought was wrong with this team is. Marshall is an idiot.

After Babineaux missed a totally free shot at McNabb we decided to use him as one of only two guys in coverage in an all out blitz despite his total lack of coverage ability.
