I watched part of the Eagles-Giants game last night. I kept hoping Philadelphia was going to win or at least put up a good fight. I like McNabb, I like Westbrook, I like the aggressive style of D they play. But for the some reasons, the Eagles are never as good as they should be. Simmons sums it up perfectly:
The one team I definitively have figured out for gambling purposes: Take the Eagles over every bad team, home or away, no matter the spread; go against them any time they're facing a good team. Got it? Got it. Poor coaching, a crappy short-yardage game and a tendency to give up big plays will bite you in the bizzum every time.
They made the same stupid mistake they did against the Bears to lose the game. 4th and 1. Playing against a strong up front D. Hand the ball to Westbrook over tackle. This move works against shitty teams. It fails against good team. They tried it twice now against good teams and failed - ending each game.
The announcer during the game was right: use McNabb!!! Roll him out - he'll either run or pass. That play works 75% of the time. Over tackle works 35% of the time. What are they thinking?
