Terror Alert in Chicago

 

Just received this in an email from a buddy living in Chicago:

 

The Chicago Bears football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Lovie Smith immediately suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators.

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the GOAL LINE.

Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again this season.

Eagles vs Bears coverage


Westbrook Suffers Another Concussion

  November 15, 2009 | Last Updated: 11/15/09 7:50 PM ET | Comments (6)

 

For the second time this season, running back Brian Westbrook sustained a concussion.   "I felt bad for Brian," said head coach Andy Reid. "It's something our doctors are going to look at and they'll be on top of it when we get (to Philadelphia)."   It's too early to assess Westbrook's status going forward.   "We don't have enough information" Reid said. "We're going to do everything the right way in the way we approach it."   In other injury news, cornerback Sheldon Brown left the game with a hamstring injury, leaving another hole in an already depleted secondary. Reid said Brown's injury will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Left tackle Jason Peters did not play with an ankle injury.   The Eagles lost to the Chargers 31-23. The Eagles made three early trips into the red zone and came away with field goals each time. On one drive, the Eagles were unable to score a touchdown when they had a first down on the 1-yard line.   "That hurt us in the end," Reid said of the missed red zone opportunities. "When you're that close on a first down, you have to get in."   But Reid said there were some positive things to take away from the loss. Trailing 28-9, the Eagles fought back to trail by only five points with over 7 minutes to go.   bq."We were in a position to win the game, and when you're down by that much, it kind of rips your heart out," Reid said. "The guys battled to get in the position to win the football game.   "Nobody hung their head and they kept fighting. There were some positive things, some things we can learn from."

babins extended role....from PE.com



DE Babin Expects To Play Sunday

  November 12, 2009 | Last Updated: 11/12/09 8:34 PM ET | Comments (0)

 

Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said on Thursday that he's "hoping for" the return of starting left defensive end Victor Abiamiri this Sunday when the Eagles travel to San Diego to take on the Chargers.

Abiamiri has practiced this week after missing the past three games with a knee injury. In his absence, Jason Babin played and notched 2.5 sacks to give him his highest single-season total since 2006 when he had a career-high 5.0. Babin has only been active for four games this season, but it looks like he will continue to play even with Abiamiri's expected return.

"I'm practicing. That's usually a good indication when you're in the rotation," Babin said. "It's one of those things where it's more than just me. The whole point is to win. If me being out there is helping the team win, I'll be out there. If it doesn't, then I won't be."

McDermott wouldn't confirm whether Babin will play this Sunday, but did acknowledge that with "the way he's played up to this point, you have a hard time sitting a guy like that down."

The Chargers boast the league's seventh-best passing offense, but the worst rushing attack. That would provide support for keeping another defensive end active this week.

But Babin isn't just playing well as a defensive end. Babin has played inside as a tackle in certain pass downs for the first time in his career. Instead of worrying about beating one guy to the quarterback, Babin has to worry about the multiple linemen when playing inside. Babin's workload has increased on the field and in film study as well.

"You have to know how they set their shoulders, if they turn their shoulders. There are a lot of different nuances you have to learn when you are studying offensive guards and tackles," Babin said.

Signed by the Eagles in training camp, Babin has flourished in this scheme because of how they rotate the linemen. Babin's already a high-motor player, who can make the most of the 30-40 snaps per game that he said he has played in the past three weeks.

While he expects to keep that role, and with his production it would certainly be no surprise, the final say isn't up to him.

"I'm not paid to make that kind of call," Babin said. "I'm paid to go out there and practice, play and perform."

Kolb vs. McNabb ...and let this be the finall word



Alright folks.....First allow me to say that i AM a big McNabb fan. there with that outta the way let me clarify, I Love Donovan McNabb "the athlete" , ...I HATE Donovan McNabb the quarterback. The difference between the 2 is this. A quarter back Has 3 duties, 1) pass the ball ACCURATELY , and while McNabb has an INCREDIBLE arm his accuracey is at times suspect. 2) hand the ball off (thats really a no brainer a trained monkey could do that) 3) lead the team as an on feild general (which means he needs to THINK) McNabb has shown many times that his Iq at times is MORE than questionable. The cincy game, a timeout when we don't have any (oakland) not running up to the line and spiking the ball to stop the cclock (too many games too count). While some off you may be thinking I'm bashing our beloved DMAC , Im actually not. As I already stated Donny is one HELL of an athlete , his ability to pull plays outta his ass is unparralled. However so is Micheal Vicks...and would you want HIM calling our plays? I didnt think so.

 Now as many people have pointed out, this is NOT entirely DMAC's fault. BECUASE he is such an athlete, Our esteamed head coach seems hell bent on  using DMACS cannon ALLLLLLLLLL the time. this unfortunately  is an
unfair burden to our Qb, due to the fact that it places ALL the responsiblity for being the playmaker on his shoulders(vs when Kolb,or Garcia is at the helm andy lets westy,djax, maclin etc. contribute) Now given this perfect storm of a headstrong head coach (ill be posting somthing on THAT subject later) and a highly talented but very inconsistent QB . It stands to reason that YES KOLB would be a better QB for the eagles due to the fact that he IS more accurate on the short pass, and ANDY IS more willing to run consistently, and KOLB ISNT as likely to make simple but unexcusable mistakes at crunch time. And if all this still isnt making sense let me make an equation outta it.

A+D=55/14 =-T.O.P.,-CC,BR=loss

A+K=50/50=+T.O.P,+CC,LR=win

we ARENT who we thought we were



alright the game isnt even over and im posting this. Why, you may ask ....cuz its better than watching the last 2:13 seconds of this abomination of a football game. Im curios if andy" I like cheesteaks,yummmmmmy " Fucking Reid called up the detroit lions and asked" hey can we swap players this week ,just for kicks and not tell anyone?"  sighs lets break it down.....

1) less tahn 15 run attempts the whole game . Andy, we have Westy who even HURT is one of the most dynamic backs in the game. We have McCoy , who by all accounts COULD be the next westbrook . WHY ?!!!! Why are you SO against the run when these two have PROVEN they can get the job done.

 2) Why are we still so in love with McNabb? I love him too....but ....his inconsitency is killing me, us (the fanbase) , us (the team). Yes I really think the Time for Kolb to be put in is here. We have plenty of young, fresh , TALENTED new weapons for Kolb to develop with. kolb has shown He CAN be an excellent QB, But if we dont let him get some steady consistent playing time ...hes gonna end up another Jason Campbell. A really talented QB who never got to develop to his full potential.

3) Our defense is actually pretty good , despite what a lot of comments on the game thread said to the contrary. We held our opponent to 1 TD and a few FG's...thats respectable. They were the only reason the RAIDERS did get an even bigger win.

4) Why is Andy SOOOOOO obsessed with the deep ball? Has he plyed to much madden07 ? Does he think we can get 60 yards EVERY play? What ever happened to clock controll? How about 1st: 3yrd run 2nd: 4 yrd screen 3rd: 4 yrd dive by the full back...then hey look 11 yds....FIRST down! amazing. Do this process repeat a few times and whoooo your in the redzone, oooo, ahhhhh. Its classic football and it still works ....But andy is fucking obsessed with being larger than life( no pun intended). His gameplan is always so grandiose...its sickening. Id hate to bring it up but, Look at Bil Bellichik. His playcalling is simple, executable and EFFECTIVE..the pats have the rings we want to prove it, and NO its not becuase we arent just as talented as them.

 

THATS all for now ..im gonna go get drunk and pop percocets till i pass out .....gottta be better than what we just witnessed

POST_ITS (yall know what to do)



I would like to thank everyone who has been contibuting to this particular segment of eagledom. I also have some advice , for those of you whos link "freezes" Ive noticed if you shut down that tab , than reopen it it "rerfreshes " itself most of the time. This atleast has been true for me so far on the "adth" linc ( ive found this one to be the most reliable so far)

          also ive noticed alot of people on the game threads comin in on the gameday threads asking for lincs....I am aware that alot of these people may be "newbies" , So if the "vets" could kindly point them in the right direction , it would be helpful for both sides as it would keep the thread discussions focused on the game itself.

agian THANK YOU  to everyone whos helping us outta towners...and GO EAGLES!!!!
