NYG - Feeling "No Pain" And Will Start
Summary: ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reporting live from the Meadowlands told viewers this morning that Manning was throwing the ball with "plenty of zip and plenty of accuracy." He said he was feeling "absolutely no pain." Manning will reportedly wear a small amount of padding on the sore spot on his shoulder but seemed good to go. However, you always have to consider the "re-injury" factor on players like this. Manning could potentially be susceptible to trouble with the shoulder if he were to take a hard hit. So you have to weigh that out. But it looks like he's made a strong recovery and is feeling good right now.

Cortisone is funny that way
They just showed the video confiscated by the NFL. Basically it was focused the whole time on the Defensive coach making his signals, then focusing on the game clock to sync the time and plays
4 football games, phils/mets, emmy awards, i like sundays.
Robbie Gould just nailed a 47-yarder. The holder? Dirk Johnson.
Adrian Clarke just recovered a Thomas Jones fumble.
Yes, that Adrien Clarke.
Arizona beat Seattle on a last-second FG
Broncos-Raiders going overtime.
Suicide watch for Raiders fans, as the Broncos' cheap last-second timeout erased their game-winning FG.

And the re-try doinked off the left upright.
Denver wins with 5:23 left in OT. Elam with the FG.
farging Pats are dismantling the Chargers. Dear God I hate them.
Norv Turner, and his QB, look completely confused by the defense.

So which one was it? Adrian or Adrien?
Is it too early in the season to say that Herm Edwards has officially killed the Chiefs? They look so anemic out there that I kinda feel bad that they have to go out and play 14 more embarrassing games.
The Patriots already have a 2-game lead in the AFC East. :puke
Niners 2-0 even with a disturbingly pathetic WR corps :-[

In all likelihood, he's a bit of a fan. As such, he hates McNabb, as we all should to an extent. McNabb's a great QB most of the time, but aren't we basically at the point where it's guaranteed that he does NOT win a Super Bowl for Philadelphia?
Regardless, he's spot on. McNabb's injured too much, and he did not look 100% last week.
I think Sal was getting a rep for being an Eagles homer, like Jaws. My guess is that he's over compensating so that he doesn't get pigeon-holed in the business.
So Sal Pal is not so much unlike some of our esteemed CF posters, huh?
like PhillyGirl?
Watching the Pats/Chargers game last night made me realize a few things:
1. The Pats, cheating or not, are a damn good football team.
2. Seeing Adalieus (sp?) Thomas play makes me hate Reid/Banner/Lurie even more. While he's all over the field intercepting passes and rushing the QB, the Eagles have guys like Gocong and McCoy.
This is nothing new of course. I just look at the Pats and I see that they lost 1 AFC Championship game so they immediately go out and get players like Moss, Stallworth, Welker and Thomas. It took the Eagles losing 3 years in a row before going out and getting TO. It farging enrages me when I think about how close this team was for 4 straight years and how the front office did almost nothing to about it.
Agree.

cept some of those games were not his fault alone. sal pal's implication is that mcnabb is the sole reason they eagles are 1-5 in the last 6 games. oh well it doesnt matter...if eagles lose tonight i expect a declaration of mcnabb's career being over by just not sal pal but the majority of the "experts".

I think I just threw up in my mouth. You are really reaching here dude. he's 1-5 in his last 6 starts. Don't defend him until he actually does something right.

Agreed. And I'm as big of a DMac supporter as there is. But dating back to last year, McNabb did not play very well in his previous 6 starts, sans the Skins game in Philly. This actually dates back to the New Orleans game where he played fairly well, but not in crunch time. He kept throwing TD passes to Barber in Tampa and looked like a steamy pile of hot poo agianst J-ville and wasn't doing much better against Tenn before he got hurt. Obviously not everything that went wrong during that stretch is his fault. But it's the one multigame stretch during his career that I can remember where this team needed him to pick them up and he didn't.

Are you serious?
He played like crap in the Jacksonville game, and the Tennessee game. But in the saints game, the birds were down 17-3 at the half...before McNabb and Reggie Brown had a field day in the 2nd half.
Same thing in the tampa game, except switch brown for westbrook.
If anything the atrocious defense in the 4th quarters of both those game cost them after they rebounded from horrible first halves on both sides (in both games, mcnabb included).
Besides, if you go back 6 starts "sans" the skins game, the Dallas game gets put in those starts.
And here I thought this article (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/eagles_fans_give_mcnabb_three_week) was satire.
They had "flash in the pan" production in the Tampa and New Orleans games but for the most part, the offense was wildly inconsistant and McNabb was leading the charge on that one.
And I think you misread my statement. "Sans the taterskins game" meant that he actually played fairly well in that game. Well, what I remember of it anyway. I was there and drunk. Regarless, his last 6 starts were:
NO - crap
Tampa - crap
Jville - crap
Wash - well
Tenn - crap
GB - crap
Bottom line is that the Eagles are 1-5 in his last 6 starts and he can shoulder just as much of the blame in those losses as other aspects of the team (coaching, defense, special teams, etc).
what were his stats from the NO game? i dont remember him having a bad game so much as the defense not being able to stop NO in the 4rth qrt.
McNabb's hog is obviously dripping with the saliva of Magical_Retard and Wingspan. Christ.

Went and checked and McNabb actually did play fairly well for most of that game. He was 19/32, 247yds, 2 td, 1 int. And the int I believe came on a hail mary type play at the end of the first half.
McNabb got off to a really slow start though and it wasn't until the 2nd and 3rd quarters that the offense started clicking. They only had one possession in the 4th qtr with the game tied at 24 and didn't do much with the ball. NO got the ball with 8 minutes and some change on the clock and ran it down to 3 seconds when they kicked the gw fg.
So maybe that wasn't a bad game by him but the team needed to be carried in the 4th quarter with the game tied and McNabb failed to deliver.
This team (Reid especially) has unfairly placed an extrodinary amount of pressure on McNabb to win games over the years. And for the most part, he has risen to the challenge. But over the course of his last 6 regular season starts, he didn't elevate his game or the team. I hope it's just a fluke but only time will tell. Of course, it'd be awfully nice if Reid put a little more responsibility on Westbrook's shoulders as well. This team showed last year that they can run the ball very effectively.
I remember that game well, since I was at it (and had great seats).
Yet another close game that should have been different. farging last second field goals suck ass.
Playing like shtein on the road for the entire first half of the game and expecting to win sucks ass too.
