gateb Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 He probably is gonna take heat for his calls inside the 20s. But I was mostly fine with the game as a whole. 36 against a top 10 defense is good for me. This isn't the same dipshit as last year. If it was we wouldve lost. At least take that into consideration.

Could've been in the 50's against a top 10 defense. And running the ball more could've limited them to less than 30. Yeah he's better than last year, but he's still making the same stupid mistakes.

What he lacks in playcalling he makes up for with the continuity with the players. They all can approach each other if there's a problem and the lines of communication are open. He's not that much of a disaster. And he's gonna be here until we have two losing seasons in a row. So get used to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So get used to him Hey if he's Eli's comfort blankey, I'll gladly keep him. but it's not his work with Eli I have a problem with. It's the constant ignoring the run game.

It's the constant ignoring the run game. We threw it like 7 times in the second half and ran it over 20 times. He made good adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 baby steps? babies don't take 4+ years to learn how to walk. It's his second year with play calls. Last year he was shit. Then he was great in the playoffs. He's been up and down this year. He is what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is what he is. He's got a long history of calling bad plays. Ask Buddy Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 baby steps? babies don't take 4+ years to learn how to walk. Took Eli 3 years to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Took Eli 3 years to speak. With 2+ years of throwing on first down. That was always one of my biggest gripes to Eli haters. Throwing on first down is setting yourself up for a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 He's got a long history of calling bad plays. Ask Buddy Ryan. We need Buddy right now with a big boot up his ass with those shotgun draws that everyone including the neighborhood Pop Warner team have diagnosed.

BurnThePhilFans Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 no matter what you can't deny some of his stupidity... I really try to look for good things to say about him but when we are lining up pretty consistently in a shotgun formation with nobody in the backfield on first down that is just ridiculous. Also, he's overusing the draw play and making it way to predictable... Finally, who else was screaming when he had the Giants running the 2 minute right before the first half against Dallas... 40 seconds left in the half at our own 20 and we're throwing the ball. We are lucky steve smith didn't lose that fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Gilbride may not be the best ever but considering how well this O is doing since he started it is undeniable that he is good. The O this year is near the top in every category except passing but of course he needs to run more . I swear no matter what this team does there will always be constant second guessing I guess.
