WOOO FOLES-PRESENT!

And yes, the D is the bigger concern, no doubt, but Vick's inconsistency isn't helping. He just looked past it yesterday and there isn't much evidence that he'll improve or learn from his prior mistakes. No shame in going with Foles, let's see what he can do. I'm excited for that at least.

There's no saving this D though.

There better be a gif of a barrel roll touchdown in next week's thread.

My only problem right now is that I have more ideas than I do graphic skill and time, but I must say it's coming along quite well.

I don't know how Bucket does it every week.

I agree that Vick would fit right in, but you can't have a prison football team without Bert Reynolds. Flacco stays.

 

[bionic77]

Make it happen, Ozzie.

He panics even worse than Flacco under pressure. Though Vick and Rice would be an ungodly running combo. That would be really hard to stop.

Vick is only going to succeed with a really good running back and a great offensive coordinator who is going to put him in position to succeed.

You must be really happy since you are finally going to get your wish.

Which is what? I want to win a SB and hell I'd gladly eat crow if Reid ever proved me wrong. But if this team is as terrible as they have looked and played the last three weeks then good riddance.

So Jason Babin only played 33 of 75 snaps for the Eagles yesterday. Maybe Todd Bowles realized that much like Osi, he's a situational pass rusher at best. Didn't help the Eagles defense much either way yesterday but thought it was interesting.

He was playing less and less even under Juan.

I have no idea what is going on with the DLINE. Not a single player is showing any spark or the level of play they did last season. From Trent Cole, Jenkins, Landri, the rookies, to Babin.

It is utterly baffling watching the whole line just get pushed around. Its almost as if no one on this team cares or wants to play.

So what's with the drop in nnamdi's play since coming to the eagles? Makes me glad to see that the texans went with the Jonathan Joseph + Manning combo over him.

Makes me sad. Nnamdi is one of my favorite players in the league. Straight up classy guy. His problem is that he hit the 30 year old wall hard. His style is to be physical. He's not fast, that was always his knock and the reason why he was a FS in college. He was also horrid his first couple seasons then he turned into one of the best cover CB in the league. It might be time for him to pull a Woodson and turn into a wolverine type of DB switching from CB and FS depending on situation. Hell. If the Eagles cut him next season I'd welcome him back to Oakland with arms wide open (granted with a cap friendly deal). He also does something most CBs don't like to do, tackle.

 

[Kave_Man]

I like to be delusional and believe the Browns exposed the Eagles for who they really are.

From the stories that I've read, that's exactly what happened.
http://www.phillymag.com/eagles/2012/10/29/anonymous-eagles-player-no-energy-no-passion/

Plenty of Eagles players went on the record after Sunday’s game, voicing their frustration and displeasure with the team’s performance against the Falcons.

Tim included thoughts from LeSean McCoy and Cullen Jenkins in the Wake-Up Call (definitely worth a read). And Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie voiced their opinions as well.

But one defensive player chose to speak anonymously to Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports:

“We didn’t have no passion and you have to have passion in this game,” the player said. “You have to want to throw everything you are out on that field on every play. You have to feel like you’re playing with your teammates and for the fans and your coaches. Nothing, nada. No energy, no passion.”

He continued:

“The media was getting on [Castillo] because he didn’t make adjustments in the fourth quarter, but what’s the difference now? We can’t stop them in the first quarter.”

Again, it’s not so much what the player said, although clearly he’s frustrated with the guys he’s playing with. But it’s just another sign that the season is falling apart and the team is fractured.

Seven games in, it’s tough to see it any other way.

Trade deadline is going to be pushed back thanks to Sandy:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Due to storm, NFL likely to push back Tuesday's 4 pm trade deadline. League now working through details.

The Titans Jared Cook requests a trade:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/29/report-jared-cook-requests-trade/

Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that “indications” are Titans tight end Jared Cook has requested a trade away from the team. Cook is making $615,000 in the final year of the deal he signed after being drafted with the 89th pick of the 2009 draft.

Wyatt points out that Cook has played on less than 50 percent of the team’s snaps in four of the Titans’ eight games this season. He’s also been an infrequent target in the passing game, although he was in position to make a game-winning catch in the final moments of regulation in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Colts. Matt Hasselbeck overthrew Cook, though, and the Colts won the game on their first possession of the extra period.

[Crazymoogle]

No shame in going with Foles, let's see what he can do. I'm excited for that at least.

If Reid believes his job is at the breaking point, then yes, playing Foles makes sense as his home-run chance. The Saints are the perfect chance (maybe the only chance?) on the schedule for a rookie QB to magically put up 400+ yards of offense in his first start, and if the Eagles destroy the Saints as a result, it's "Foles-Future" and Reid saves his job.

The alarming, "why make this move?" part is that the Eagles are still in relatively good shape thanks to their early-season wins. They're 3-4, and Vick has a very good chance of putting up huge numbers against the Saints. If Reid believes the playoffs is a better route to keeping his job than exploring Foles as a QB, this is a huge mistake and the Saints will probably make him pay.

"Forget about fixing problems, this team can't even diagnose them properly. That's why a quarterback change won't fix anything, and neither will the dismissal of assistant coaches. There's only one man overseeing everything in Philadelphia, and after 14 mostly successful seasons, it appears he has lost his touch. If Vick is going to lose his job, then Reid deserves to lose his, too."

This is basically on the money. If I was an Eagles fan I wouldn't be asking for a new QB. I'd be asking for a coach, because no matter what Foles does next week the underlying problem is still there.

The secret of this season is that aside from the turnovers Vick is doing quite well. He has good production with that offense. Is that offense something that Reid thinks he can replicate with Foles at QB? They're playing the Saints, so I think the answer for next week is a good "probably" but will that suffice long term?

With Vick you have to win. With Foles you have to prove you made a good decidion taking Vick out AND win. If Foles loses two games, is benched and Vick comes back and the Iggles are barely eliminated from the playoffs? Ha.

It is years late to the party dude. They have no marketshare. Why would anyone support it?

It is going to take them at least 2 more years to catch up to where Apple and Google are now (assuming they throw a ton of money at it). Unless you really want to support the platform I would hold out at least another year and see how things stand at this time next year.

Either get an iPhone5 or wait for the next Nexus, which comes out in a few more weeks/months. It is what it is.

Google already figured it out. The new OS is very good.

I really don't see a huge difference between Nexus and iPhone anymore (I am not a fan of the other Google phones which are fucked up by 3rd party software). And I don't see a lot of innovation from either side anymore. Now it is just preference on OS features, apps, and hardware.

Makes me sad. Nnamdi is one of my favorite players in the league. Straight up classy guy. His problem is that he hit the 30 year old wall hard. His style is to be physical. He's not fast, that was always his knock and the reason why he was a FS in college. He was also horrid his first couple seasons then he turned into one of the best cover CB in the league. It might be time for him to pull a Woodson and turn into a wolverine type of DB switching from CB and FS depending on situation. Hell. If the Eagles cut him next season I'd welcome him back to Oakland with arms wide open (granted with a cap friendly deal). He also does something most CBs don't like to do, tackle.

I am not as down on Nnamdi as most. Yes he gave up a big TD but honestly the whole D is playing terrible for the past three weeks.

DRC was no better. That first drive through penalties and blown coverage he allowed the TD.

Nnamdi gave up another. But even the best CBs give up TDs and it was to Julio Jones. Problem is when the CBs played well, Gonzalez toasted rookie LB Kendricks. When they covered all the guys well, Ryan found someone else. They called quick WR screens, ran the ball, and kept the D off their heels the whole game. Nnamdi didn't play his best game but of all the units on D, the secondary has been the best so far.

The CBs can't also hold forever when the DLINE gets absolutely zero pressure. Yesterday they recorded two sacks but both were when the game was out of hand and on plays where the coverage forced Ryan to hold onto the ball longer than he wanted to. Other than that Mat Ryan never had any pressure in his face. He was never hurried and hell he even took off a couple of times for big gains by running.

Where is Babin? Cole? Jenkins? Cox? How come we are getting less pressure now even though we actually two credible LBs? For them to come out after the bye week so lifeless is very telling. And to me its extremely frustrating when there are so many problems on this team that every idiot fan's reaction is to always just start the back up QB! YEAH THAT WILL FIX EVERYTHING!

Fans just want change. Most aren't rational in what to change and the QB is the most effective target because for better or worse - Vick is the face of the franchise right now. I think it was said pretty clearly a page or two back - this could very well be the end of the Andy Reid era in Philly and what you're seeing is desperation...

 

[Mrbob]

How is Windows 8 in terms of performance?

It's fine. Feels just like Windows 7 in terms of performance, speaking about the desktop. Metro is fine performance wise too, but using it with a mouse isn't that intuitive. Also Metro has a strange way of handling programs. You can't officially close out a program in Metro. The program gets suspended and stays in memory until you need memory for another program. I don't think there is a way to prioritize what programs you want to keep suspended either. Metro gets rid of programs from old to new.
