Week 8 NFL Running Thread

Do you guys remember that song? It was kind of rock, kind of country, said something like "freedom rings through all this land?" I haven't heard that song in years, but I was trying to remember who sang it and where I could hear it again.

 

I think that song could be "If I Had A Hammer" by Pete Seeger. I could be guessing, though.

Now I've set up the "If I Had A Hammer ... I'd ..." string on here. Geez ...

QB controversy in Houston?

 

We'll see.
I think you are wrong.
But we'll see.

 

And the Iggles lose at home to the Jaguars. That makes it four losses this season, all by a touchdown or less.

I've come to wonder if Reid is overrated as a coach. His record in one-possession games is under .500, which calls into question his skills as a tactician.

 

If Reid is overrated as a coach, McNabb is equally overrated.

 

Probably depends on the league, but I'd say yes, he gets the minus points for an INT.

 

Vick today: 20/28 291 yards 3 TD's No Int's 9 carries 55 yards

It's amazing what a QB can do when he has protection.
I'm trying my best not to come off as a fanboy , but I really think that Vick is not that bad of a passer.

 

"Our Country"?

 

Indy is pretending to have a running game on this drive. It's kinda nice. [/fangirl]

 

The Eagles record in one-possession games is probably a combination of two things.
1. Lack of power running game makes it harder to hold leads.
2. Blitz-oriented defense results in too many "oops, that's a touchdown" plays.

Eagles couldn't stop the run AT ALL today, and their receivers either couldn't get open, or dropped the ball when they were.
Phillly used to have a good receiver, don't remember his name. Whatever happened to him, anyway?

 

That line shows how good he can be when he's accurate because he's got talent around him. The protection line is bull, though -- no quarterback can succeed without a line

 

Any idea who sings that little ditty? He looks familiar. I think he might be from Indiana.
