Buddy Ryan's first game as Head Coach

Post by Bryan »

I remember there was a ton of hype when Buddy Ryan took over the Eagles in 1986. People expected big things from Philly, which was probably unfair considering the tough teams in the NFC East and the Eagles own lack of talent. Buddy and the Eagles opened the season against the Redskins and got outclassed 41-14...but I had forgotten about this great sequence of plays, showcasing the Buddy Ryan offense.

1st and 10 = Keith Byars gets first NFL carry, stopped for no gain
2nd and 10 = false start
2nd and 15 = hands to face penalty
2nd and 25 = offensive holding
2nd and 35 = delay of game
2nd and 40 = Randall Cunningham attempts quick kick, partially blocked, 15 yard punt, 3 yard return by Rich Milot


When was the last time a team punted on 2nd down?
