Monday Night Open Thread: Eagles at Redskins

All the other subplots to QB Donovan McNabb's 2nd game against his old team were just blown out of the water when the Redskins gave the former Eagles QB a 5-year extension with $40 million guaranteed. Yes, that's not a typo. Didn't they just bench him against the Lions because he didn't know the offense and he was out of shape?
Everything that's wrong with the Redskins offense isn't his fault (i.e. mediocre receivers, poor pass blocking, practice squad starting RB) but even when he played with a much better offense last year in Philadelphia, he was somewhere between QB Carson Palmer and QB Chad Henne (ranked No. 16 by Football Outsiders). That's probably his ceiling at age 34. For perspective, $40 million is less than QB Tom Brady's new contract and similar to QB Aaron Rodgers's extension. What it means is that they're paying full price for past performance.
And the Eagles are favored by 3 if you care about that in-game stuff.

He needs to score 50

Agree past his prime
I watched him closely last year because I had him on a fantasy team and thought he was past his prime then. Most of his big plays last year were to Desean Jackson who was so open he had time to smoke a cigarette and wait until the pass reached him. I was really hoping the Vikings were going to get him in free agency Because I don’t believe he has a season in him left like Farve had last year or close. I’m just saying he’s a average QB at this point.
Also I need Vick and Akers to score a bit to wi in one league and a couple from Maclin in the other league I’m in. So go players not necessarily Eagles
So this is a thing, right?
This game is actually going to happen, or will it just be 3 hours of Gruden kissing the ass of whoever he sees on his screen?

Jackson kind of reminds me of Javon Walker

I think Jackson's much faster than Walker ever was
Walker was more of just a really big target who was fast for his size. He was never as good at getting off bump and run as he should have been for his size. Jackson on the other hand just showed his ability to smoke bump and run. Completely different players. Jackson will last as long as he doesn’t hurt his head.

This is seriously my last comment on the subject tonight
But I wonder whether Gates is really a ringleader in all of this or if he’s just caught up in the hype brought by all the new posters at DN because of Favre and recent success. Not accusing him of being a bandwagoner, but a lot of the newer blood over there comes from bandwagon fans. Perhaps he just thinks he’s giving his “loyal” audience what they want.
The scary part is that he may be right.

Woodson would play the slot receiver and shadow Vick.

Raji is our most underrated defender.

That shouldn’t have been a TD pass, that should be a running Td right? He underhanded it to him behind the line of scrimmage. I wouldn;t care but Vick is playing aginst me in FF

Definitely glad the Bears and Vikings still have the Eagles left on their schedules – no way their defenses can stop that offense.
And for people bad-mouthing Gruden – it was pretty ridiculous when he predicted two of the first 3 Eagles plays correctly -
first play, he says “We’ll probably see a bootleg pass” – Vick throws the bootleg pass for an 88 yard touchdown.
Third play – “We’ll probably see a double reverse” – Eagles call a double reverse to Maclin.
Yeah, Gruden’s really knowledgeable. I hate listening to him refer to every play as “this guy..” but I love listening to everything he says that’s football related.

Comebacks
Because comebacks such as the one engineered against the Houston Oilers by Frank Reich and the Buffalo Bills in January, 1993 are always possible, I want my team to apply the philosophy that no lead is safe and, therefore, there is no such thing as ‘running up the score’.
Especially in the pros!
Do you think that the Oilers wish they had tacked on another TD when they were up 35-3 in the third quarter? :)

I don’t think any team should get criticized for playing their offense in the 2nd quarter, no matter the score. There’s no excuse if it’s not Kolb time in the 4th quarter with a lot of James Harrison hand offs.

I hope the Packers and Eagles never meet again
I know the Falcons are probably the legitimate best team in the NFC, but Vick is so frightening. I never want to see that matchup again.
Call me crazy
But I think New Orleans, New York, Green bay, and Philly are all better than Atlanta
Atlanta
Atlanta is a team that can play with and beat anyone, but they’re not a team that is going to actually scare anyone.
I dunno
New Orleans looks real vulnerable, New York I don’t believe in because I don’t believe in Eli, Green Bay is incredibly banged up and its too early to tell how good they really are…
Atlanta isn’t scary, but look at their record and who they’ve beaten. To me they are the most solid team in the NFC.
I don't think it is so much the Eagles...
the Redskins just don’t want to play…
by Bush League All Star on Nov 15, 2010 8:38 PM CST up reply actions
A little perspective
The Eagles are playing out of their mind right now. They only beat the 49ers and Lions by a margin of 3 points in each game.
And from here on out...
The Eagles have to play the Giants 2 times, the Bears (LOL), and Dallas 2 times…
by Bush League All Star on Nov 15, 2010 8:42 PM CST up reply actions
Well, to be fair
The 49ers win and Redskins loss were both with Kolb at QB.
I never bought the Kolb hype. He looked like garbage before, and still does.
The Lions game? I don’t have an excuse for that
Kolb helped them beat a solid Falcons team though...

I don't think you need to have an excuse
Sometimes you win close games. That’s better than losing them
I don't think they can do this consistently either
But with Vick at the helm they’re capable of blowing out any team on any given day. I still have nightmares about that playoff game against Vick. I don’t think I would want him running my team, but when he’s on its scary.

They’ve got a couple of big time freshmen in Sullinger and Thomas. My aau team played a team with the two of them a couple years ago in Indiana and they beat up on us pretty good. Both are like 6’8" or 6’9" and athletic freaks. Don’t know if the two of them are enough to justify that ranking though.

They definitely aren't enough.
Ohio State is going to set some sort of record for most upsets suffered in conference play this year. For all the accolades he gets, Sullinger might NOT mesh with their offense at all, or wind up in Matta’s doghouse.

So, over at DN, I posted these Aaron Rodgers stats
2008
First 8 games – 95.8 QB Rating, 63.7% Completion, 247 ypg, 13 TD, 5 INT
Last 8 games – 92.4 QB Rating, 63.5% Completion, 257 ypg, 15 TD, 8 INT
2009
First 8 games – 103.3 QB Rating, 63.1% Completion, 282 ypg, 16 TD, 5 INT
Last 8 games – 103.2 QB Rating, 66.2% Completion, 272 ypg, 14 TD, 2 INT
And then noticed, if you combine the first 8 games from those years, and compare them to the last 8 games from both years, the numbers (besides the QB rating and completion percentage) are identical. (the YPG might be a little off, because I rounded off some decimal points). I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this before:
264.5 yards per game, 29 TDS and 10 INTs.
Freaky
Those INTs have to be slashed in half.
And you were banned for posting that, right?

The only real choices in the free agent pool were Kitna (who wound up 23 points in our league), Troy Smith (19 points) and Chad Pennington (obviously, zero points, injured on the second snap).
He picked Pennington.
I went into last nights game down by 9, with Roethlisberger left. He had New England’s defense. I wound up winning by two after that fourth quarter.
I think my luck is finally turning around.

- Whatever we all have against Thompson, clearly it could always be much worse.
I still believe McNabb is good
With an aging Santana Moss, 80 year old Joey Galloway, and Anthony Armstrong as your receivers, it’s hard to look great.
Karma really hates McNabb (well, as much as it can hate a guy who can fill a couple olympic-sized swimming pools with gold coins from all the money he’s made)
He finally gets a WR that deserves to be starting in the league . . . and it is crazy Terrell Owens, gone after a year.
After several more years of crappy WRs, they finally draft DeSean Jackson, and then Maclin the next year . . . . and one year later, they trade him to the Redskins with their awful-looking WR corps.
