Jealousy turned to Envy

Today I woke up Jealous of of the Eagles. I thought that we were the better team when we played them, but after the game I have to admit it. Doug Peterson coaches circles around Ron Rivera. Without him the eagles loose easily. I still think this team will be held back by Ron, If he was the coach of the eagles tonight they would have lost. We wont ever get over this proverbial hump with Rivera. I hope new management see's this as well or we will be doomed to repeat ourselves and will have wasted two HOF careers.

Not only would they have lost, but the game probably would have been out of reach in the 4th Q...

On the two plays Philly went for it on fourth down, Ron would've taken the three points instead of going for the TD and would've punted on the second fourth down, giving the ball back to a New England team with a one point lead and plenty of time on the clock to score yet again.

Anyone that has been paying attention to Ron's tendencies over the years knows this is more than likely what he would do.  The Eagles not going for it on fourth down during either of these two occasions likely costs them the championship.

At the same time, the reason they got into that 4th down position anyways is because they didn't want to run it on the 1 1/2 yard line with Blount for the easy touchdown, so i dont think bad coaching and play calling then digging yourself out of that hole with a 'gutsy' 4th down call is necessarily, u know, redemption. I want to be a prisoner of the moment, too, and praise him, but lets be honest, pretty bad play calling to put himself in that position. Then the second 4th down call, even Ron makes that call to go for it, i mean cmon, especially against the patriots.

good coaching , good gm he turned that bad secoundary into something good by getting mccloud , trading for darby signing patrick robinson.he fixed the offense , moved nelson agolor to the slot , signed alshon jeffery had a good draft . that team from head to toe deserves that superbowl. sad to see another team get their first before us but once again that proves you need to do something in freeagency as well and not be dirt cheap and let players walk without replacing them

QBs who are the product of a system can be really good, just look at Tom Brady.

Yea Chris Carter did a piece on this.

CC is a system player by his own words....

Moss....did he kill it in Oakland? nope system player

Tom Brady....system player

Basically he and other HoFers have said almost everyone is a system player.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
