    I see it all the time, but Philly just pulled that against the Vikings (1:17 2nd) in the freaking playoffs

    the result ... an interception

    WHY ? because the Eagles saw that the Vikings D was not set and they rushed to the line ....... well, that's a damn good time to run a sneak ... you mean to tell me that Donovan McNabb can't run a 1 yard sneak when the defense isn't set ?

    the Titans have done it too, as well as throwing for 6 yard slants on 3rd and 10 :irked:

    get the line to gain .... an extra yard or two ...not an extra 40

    I mean , c'mon ... it's on page 3 of "How to lose a football game for Dummies"

    Because Andy Reid is an idiot.

    having to pick post #2 or #3, I'm going with 3 .... but include 2 as well

    that was a dumb move to call it, a dumb move to execute it

    well, let's just add the Vikings to the mix
    3rd and 5 ... 4th qtr from midfield, almost the same exact thing ... except the Eagles were ready

    neither of these teams deserve to play in a Championship

    The eagles have no confidence in their offensive line getting 1 or 2 yards. They are not physical in those situations and that is what will end their season next week.

    Andy Reid has never lost a first playoff game (or wildcard). That is pretty impressive.

    yet he keeps on playing them. Did Starkiller make his annual Philadelphia is best prediction this year??? - lol

    Avoiding them with a bye would be even more impressive.
