We ran against Jax all game bc that was their weakness. Philly I believe was 3rd in stopping the run when we played them and we still ran all over them when we did. They shut him down towards the end when he was running up the middle. I believe we could have continued our run success if we had switched up the run plays. But, then again maybe not. Its all coulda, shoulda, woulda at this point.
Like I said. Come Sunday there should be no complaints about whether or not he is running the ball enough.
Not to mention the seahawks running D will be crap without Bobby Wagner. He is far from worn out.
And Goff's last 5 pass attempts yielded 12 yards and a turnover. I guess there was no answer for the Eagles D
Rams scored 28 points against the #2 D, so I think the play calling was not the culprit.
I'm not blaming or criticizing the playcalling. I honestly think Philly's D just played better than our O towards the end, having both tackles hobbled didn't help. I just don't believe in the idea of abandoning half of an offense because of 2 bad plays. Had they shut the run down for most of the game, sure, but Gurley was gashing them for big gains most of the game. There has been drives this season where its been 3 passes then punt, and no one is going think to stop passing.
Like I said. Come Sunday don't complain if they aren't feeding Gurley enough. Hopefully this will be the last time.
Well we did run on 1st down in the last 2 series, problem was both times it lost yardage and forced the Rams in to passing situations. We run on 2nd and long, it’s like Fisher ball.
Well when you quoted me, that was my response to a post suggested Vance Joseph had a better game plan than McVay.
So you think running the ball on 2nd and 13 is the way to go? 2nd and 11? Jeff Fisher would be proud of you.
You are ahead, in a time management situation yes why not? Why do some people still have a hard on for Fisher? Lol. Kind of amazing if you ask me.
We had on the previous 2 1st downs and got crushed. McVay went for it. Half second more and it’s a big play. We got burned. I’ll take our chances that his play calling is more boom or bust. I’m so sick of conservative football.
If they run Gurley right, he gets stripped, he’s criticized for being too conservative. It was a 1 point game. He took a shot. I like it. Eagles got lucky.
