Official Game Day Thread

Monday Night Football - our playoff chances are very bleak right now but if we expect to have a shot at all we need to win this one. Should be interesting to see what we do on offense with Darren Sproles out..hopefully we can rely on PT, Ingram and Ivory to help sustain the running game and contain the explosive Eagles' offense.

[Bert Macklin]

We got this. Vick is gonna Vick.

[diabsoule]

We won! Can we play Philly every week?

[CJSchneider]

Sadly, our D-line only looked good against an o-line that had 4 of its regular starters out by game's end.
I loved having Chris Ivory back.

[CJSchneider]

Well that game was a let down. I'm now really looking forward to our draft.

[CJSchneider]

Great gave vs. Tampa Bay. Let's hope our D plays as well against the Cowboys as it did against the Bucs.

It seems like you guys are a different team week to week. Which is good and bad. To me that says you guys control your own fate each week. You don't play to the level of your competition, rather you simply go out there, play your game and the result is totally based off your own execution.

Good luck this week. May the best team win!

And that is the result of not having a proper Head Coach this season.

With Sean Payton we had one of the best Game planning, Play calling Offensive Minds in the League.. and he almost always got his team up and motivated to play each week.

Without him it's clear the Crisp Execution of plays just isn't there some weeks. No where more so is this evident than in our 2nd half Offensive playcalling, I don't have the numbers but we've greatly struggled on Offense in the 2nd half of games and that's because we haven't made the proper adjustments. That almost never happened with Sean Payton he would always adjust to what the Defense was doing, if we were struggling with protection up front he would adjust the Blocking schemes, chip the ends more, roll Brees out, that's not happening this year.

pretty happy about the win, wont get star in the draft anyways.

feeling more for getting a cornerback in the first though

[CJSchneider]

Unless it is Milliner or Banks, I will be livid if we go CB in the first.

I agree, and I don't think either will be there by the time we're picking.

Seems like we're probably picking in the 13-16 range, and I'm hoping the direction we go will be Edge Pass Rusher or Offensive Tackle. I hope maybe Montgomery can slip to us, but if not the guy that we're most likely to be in position to land will be Dion Jordan. Explosive athlete, with long arms.

I imagine this is the case. During the Dallas game, the comment was made that our front 4 had 3, first round draft picks on it (Smith, Ellis and Jordan). The problem is that they are not playing like 1st rounders and there is no way we resign Smith and Ellis for the kind of money they will want playing the way they are. I don't see us going for anything other than the best DT or DE on the board when it is our turn on the clock.

obviously the value needs to be there but i could see milliner still being available

[diabsoule]

I want OT, DT, DE, or CB in the first. Actually, I wouldn't be upset if we just drafted those positions for the entire draft.

im kinda fed up with roman harper. i get that he is a run stuffing safety but he isnt even doing that well this season. wouldnt mind starting iaq and drafting his backup

[Flyboy]

It should really be about DE or DT in the first. If for some reason we can't sign Bushrod, then OT becomes maybe a position of need IMO...I would love for us to take a big NT and go to a 3-4 type of defense but I doubt that happens.

Not with the DC that we have unless we change that too.

[CJSchneider]

I really doubt we resign Ellis or Bushrod unless Loomis does some
Obi Wan crap on them. Smith will get released, so DE, DT an OT wil all be big priorities.
