By perfecting the blueprint though attacking and confusion.

Damn at these 2 TE sets they are about to run
I've said this a million times on here, but the formula to neutralizing the Pats offense hasn't really changed much since the Giants laid the blueprint in '07. Ravens did it in '09 and '12, Rex did brilliantly in '10, Giants again in '11 Superbowl, and we just saw Wade Phillips surprisingly switch up his own schemes to also follow that blueprint.

There's plenty of elements to it yet the Pats play right into it by not having a WR that can take the top off the opposing defense. And I know Moss was around in '07, but that's a different story.

The smart teams take advantage, and like you said…at the very least even a legitimate decoy would help them try to counter that.

Don't do the same things twice in a row. That's how you confuse him and prevent them from getting in rhythm.

Just to throw out an example of New England recognizing its own flaws, if anyone remembers in that '13 AFC Championship game (another loss @ Denver), look at what they tried to do on the first offensive snap. A fly route bomb to...Matthew f'ing Slater. It was the ol' "let's show them this now so the defense stays honest and keeps it in the back of their minds" attempt.

Huge fail.

To be fair, it was also one of those years where injuries decimated them and they had to scramble to come up with something in the postseason.

I always thought Doug was good, nothing "flashy" for the most part but he gets the job done
He was great last season though, drafting Lockett helped Doug draw less double coverage and more one on one opportunities
 
For all the eagles fans *cough* IATT IATT *cough* who are puffin' their chests out at Wentz's start right now, did they have the same feelings towards him when he was drafted and also leading up to week 1?

Not sure how this is an egg on anyones faces....

in our thread no one made any predictions after Wentz was named the starter. When we thought Chase Daniel had the job most predicted 5 wins max

Go look at draft thread..


I got cursed at and into arguements essentially for saying 3 things:

1) Guy is big, good speed, athletic, good arm, smart in classroom and very clean off field

2) small school guys have succeeded and big school guys have failed

3) picks were spaced out so we didn't pull a saints.. And had ability to still build to team

On my cell, but I'll post what I said on January 22nd.. Which also involves dak.. Never pretended to be any expert on him

Wentz has looked great. Yeah its early but you can't deny what he has done so far
Same dude hating on him for being from D2 likes his college WR playing QB, so everything he says is void on the subject

that QB should have lost to Cody Kessler/Tyrelle Pryor had the emergency kicker they signed on Saturday not missed 3 FG's
 
Hue Jackson wanted to sign Robbie Gould and the front office overruled him and signed Cody Parkey :lol:
 
And a lot of y'all need to understand, the critics set the bar extremely low..


And hell just imagine if our team didn't have all the drops we've had

So who are the passive aggressive comments aimed at?

Nothing you said is wrong, but why post a link to the draft thread?

I mean, did anyone see Wentz looking this sharp 3 games into his career? I doubt it.

Not sure what you're trying to prove, unless someone was really outta pocket w/ their opinion.

or if you wish to edit your comments.. just a thought
Can we get some quotes?

I mean this is the WIR thread
Still way too early to declare winners and losers, but Eagles fans have every right to be feeling themselves right now.

This is the hot take thread though, so here's one from that thread
Uh, nope never said people's or team's picks will be dictated by ridicule, just saying it's a fact that he'll be ridiculed by Eagles fans the next four years when he's terrible and/or sitting (more likely terrible) if they do take Wentz.
Not off to a strong start on this one.

...

My greater concern is wtf is going on with the young bull @JPZx? Might need to set off an amber alert for the kid.

I hope he's safe and doing good right now.

It's like the Browns want to intentionally lose

76ers of the nfl.
And they hired a former baseball GM to overlook football operations which he has no experience of
Gotta love the Browns
At least the Sixers hired someone who has basketball experience :lol:

The takes against wentz were pretty scorching..

Hell, the only thing I really had a problem with was when a certain person admitted they didn't know anything about wentz, then proceeded to argue that THAT should be damning for wentz
 
"Wentz is gonna be trash because the "experts" in the niketalk.com College Football and NFL Draft Threads weren't talking about him much"

So there were 130 FCS players on roster currently and you're wondering why I think it's wrong to question his transition into a 52-player team sport? I mean, that's proving my point ESP. when you use Steve McNair's accomplishments and other outliers to say, 'Look.'

Yeah McNair also QB'd the **** out of teams at Alcorn State. :lol: We have Wentz on a small sample size with like a 20-13 line. If you want to dig your own grave in LA or in the post-Chip era with one of these two then go ahead. QBs! GOTTA have one and leave all rational thought at the door before you do.

another one of this dumb *** comments, I couldn't stand this clown

hope he's ok but good riddance
