Kyle gave up on the running game immediately. That resulted in repeat 3 and outs. That results in our defense being on the field constantly. It's consistent with what he does. He's done it in virtually every game so far.Chris Luva Luva wrote:Kyle isn't calling bad plays, Rex can't execute them. U can see that he's holding onto the ball too long, if ur not blind.

It's hard to go back to the run when ur QB has thrown 2 interceptions and 2 possible interceptions. The Eagles are playing the run and U have to pass some time. Rex isnt even doing the BARE MINIMUM. This is Mark Brunell all over again. They dont respect the pass cus we CANNOT do it.
I agree to an extent but U can't run EVERY DOWN.

So if Tim Tebow can get on the field, why not Beck? Let's put him out there... the line is banged up, he's more mobile, it makes sense.

It WASN'T the second half. He gave up on the run in the FIRST FREAKING QUARTER. In several games, with a lead, HE KEPT PASSING. He does not like the running game... and will abandon it the second he has a chance. Unfortunately, HE DOES NOT HAVE PEYTON MANNING as his quarterback.Chris Luva Luva wrote:Countertrey wrote:Kyle gave up on the running game immediately. That resulted in repeat 3 and outs.

The Eagles have a pathetic run defense. You have to keep doing it to wear them a bit... then you own them. Unfortunately, we aren't going to get to see that.

U can't consistently get yards against an 8-man front.
Did anyone else watch this team during the Mark Brunell years?!?
Sure we need to run the ball more than we have but we're not going to be effective with that idiot at QB.

The Eagles are going to make Grossman beat them. They gonna load the box and stuff the run, th QB and the coaches have to exploit that but the problem is Grossman is not a QB that can shred a defense apart and force them to play different, its just that simple. Everyone knows Grossman will give the ball away once maybe twice a game and in the NFL that is enough to lose.

And, play action doesn't work unless you run. They haven't even tried.Chris Luva Luva wrote:PAPDOG67 wrote:Run the ball on this drive please!

I don't really disagree as much as some may think. Nothing will work with Rex back there. It's really a moot point.
