Huge game this week.
Will Santana Moss play?
Gotta shut down Portis to stop that offense. And those bubble screens if Moss is playing.
Brunell will be rolling out and taking short drops. The Birds better fargin tackle well.
It'll be an epic battle for mediocrity.
since the eagles are going nowhere this year this is my superbowl....well the game in dc is really my superbowl so this is my nfc championship game....please please please eagles win
Jesus is coming to town. Get ready.

Mediocrity? This is an epic battle for last place in the NFC East, he most over-hyped and over-rated division in football! It is going to require new levels of coaching and player ineptitude to lose this game.
I have a feeling that we're going to see something like the 37-7 MNF game from a few years back. Why? I don't know. But I think the offense is going to come out smokin and the defense will be much better.
NYG in CHI is huge too. Beat the Skins and if CHI wins they're 1 out.
taterskins = die.

What he said. Especially the begging.
If this game wasn't at home after a bye it would terrify me. But home games after a bye are the closest thing to a guaranteed win that you can find in the NFL.
Things that scare me:
1. The Skins suck and are forced to use the short passing game combined with a solid and unspectacular running game to move the ball. Guess what the Eagles are awful at defending...
2. Donovan McNabb likes to take stupid sacks and waste timeouts when he's confused. The Skins only hope for stopping anyone on defense is to mask everything they are doing because they just don't have that much talent on that side of the ball. McNabb is almost certain to be confused a lot and take some stupid sacks and waste some timeouts.
Having said that, the Eagles are obviously the better team. And should win. Please god win this game.
I'm hoping the team uses the time off wisely and gets their shtein together. The number one thing I think they have lacked all but one game this year is playing 4 qtrs of football. We cannot start off slow and to play catch up all game. Brunnel to Cooley is something we are going to get burned at. We need to get Dawkins on him. Santana Moss is just a dangerous receiver and can get open against anyone. Our D-line needs to stop it up so we don't have to rely on our DB's. Of course Portis. Who knows if we're gonna be effective against the run, this is always hit or miss. Will we have a Trotter appearance finally??!!??
Receivers need to get open and more importantly catch the damn ball. I'd like to see a healthy dose of Westbrook, Buck and Moats, but that will not happen unless Reid realizes defenses know he's going to play pass all day. I want to see Westbrook all over the place Sunday, they need to utilize him more. L.J. also. He needs to step it up, he's due for a good game. Donovan needs to rely more on his feet than the receivers. If we are laying catch-up he needs to tuck it and go. No-more wait wait wait sack. Throw it away man!
My head says yes, Reid gets everyone on page this week. He and the rest of the coaches actually gameplan this week. They come out strong and relentless and just hand it to the Skins. My gut says, it's going to be close and we don't start playing football until the 2nd half. Either way we win this must win game. :evil :evil :evil
13-3 loss. I have no faith in this team to do anything.
the line is eagles -7

If it wouldn't make me ill to do it and if I'd ever actually placed a bet on an NFL game, I'd bet Washington immediately.
eagles are impossible to bet when they play an equal or inferior team because they could score 35 pts just as easily as they could score 3
at least against the really good teams you know they are gonna lose

You are correct sir! The two things they do on offense is what the birds D sucks at. Already having visions of Cooley eating us alive underneath and little dump passes to backs out of the backfield wide open with nothing but open field ahead of them.
Oh yeah, I 'm feeling really good about this game. ::)
All the talk about how stubborn Reid is with his gameplan and philosophy, but here's every team in the division with a pass catching TE, and Jim Johnson not caring about the linebackers.
its not jj
its banner and reid and their philosophy of appropriating funds towards certain positions
not to mention their strategy of drafting surfers from san diego and mechanical engineer defensive ends from division II schools to play linebacker in the nfl

trent cole extended thru 2013
QuoteCole Gets 5-Year Extension
November 6, 2006
By DAVE SPADARO
The Eagles locked up another young piece of their core, signing defensive end Trent Cole to a five-year contract extension through the 2013 season.
Cole, who leads the team with 6 1/2 quarterback sacks, was a fifth-round draft pick last year ...
Patterson extension gets its own thread, but not Cole? Lame.
Nothing not to like about this move. Cole still has a lot to learn, but he'll only get better.
no in season extension deserves its own topic
killa should have gotten his + what patterson just got
Smart move locking him up now, he's obviously better in a rotation but I like his game. Who's next?

L.J. Smith is getting good at catching McNabb's wormburners and his rookie contract is up after this year.
i like the cole signing better than patterson because he has showed to have a much higher ceiling....but id still rather them extend a lj smith who as ff said is coming up
coles sb is 12 million according to eskin
WOW!

Damn, I guess they figure if they got it they might as well spend it. Any word on years or overall salary for the life of the contract?
the fact that they HAVEN'T extended LJ yet is somewhat curious.
Agreed. Who is his agent? Schoebel as the starting TE next season would be great though. He has such good hands and instincts.

Not surprising. Since he got peanuts for his rookie deal as a 5th rounder, he was due more than Patterson in a re-up. Patterson's solid, but Cole makes more game-changing plays and will make more if for no other reason than he plays DE and not DT.

the entire team should just go out and kick opponents in the balls now.
up next...jerome mcdougle signed through 2018
Jim Johnson has complete control on what positions are valued and who he gets on defense.
absolutely 100% not
it's his defense. his decisions.
no one ever questions him when he gushes about a guy in camp, saying he's the best out there...and EVERYONE calls him a straight shooter..."you know he's being honest" and every season, that gushed about player has a terrible year. Simoneau, Jones, McDougle...etc...

first rjs' best quote of the year now the best of the year by FFat. This is great!
Wide Rs catch the ball like they are supposed to. Don throws more at the numbers, less at the feet. Birds score in the first quarter for a change. Floodgates open. Eagles D smells the blood in the water. The kids get 3 sacks. D Mac throws three TDs. Westy runs one in.
Birds 31 Nas-skins 10
Patterson (broken hand), Lito, and Westbrook (knee and now ankle) all listed as probable... and that's IT for the injury report. (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=59069)
No Stallworth? We'll see how that goes.
Also, Santana Moss is questionable for the skins.
Stallworth isn't even listed? So it's a no brainer that he's not playing?
He's probably dead
Name the movie:
"This guy is DEAD!"
"Well, cross him off, then."
Major League.
"Stay away from her"
"Suck my meatcicle"

And the Skins will not win. Because I'm going and the Eagles will play gooder than the Skins just for me. I'm impo'tant like that.

No Eagles receiver will have more than 7 catches.
None will have over 100 yards, and McNabb won't throw for 250.
And the Eagles won't even score 3 TD's as a team.
The Eagles win this by end of the first quarter.

QuoteEagles Notes | Short is not fond of Skins' Sellers
Eagles Notes
The last two times Jason Short played against the Washington taterskins were not pleasant.
It was bad enough that he suffered broken legs on special-teams plays in those games, but the Eagles linebacker said he also had to endure an indignity when taterskins fullback Mike Sellers spat in his face.
"He spat in my face in two games," Short said before practice yesterday.
Two seasons ago at Washington, "he was mad because I threw him down on the ground and he started getting beat up and he looked like crap," Short said. "Who knows? I think he was mad because he was getting the bad end of the stick out there and he started playing dirty.
"He had three personal fouls in that game," Short said. "He had two on me, including when I broke my leg."
Play-by-play from that game showed that Short was flagged for a 15-yard face-mask penalty on the opening kickoff. Sellers was flagged for unnecessary roughness on Washington's first kickoff in that game and also received a second-quarter face-mask penalty. Sellers was flagged for unnecessary roughness again in the fourth quarter.
"I think we're going to tell the ref to watch him beforehand," Short said. "I know he's dirty."
Short said his season-ending leg injuries both came during collisions with Rock Cartwright, but he has no problem with the taterskins' reserve running back. It's the spitting incidents that bothered him.
"That's disrespect," Short said. "You don't do things like that."
It seems like the taterskins have a problem as a team with spitting on opposing players. Of course the tools on their MB will downplay this because they tried to deny that Taylor spit on Pittman even with the loogie visible on tape.
On an unrelated note, its weird how Short has broken his leg blocking Cartwright both times. Crazy.
Well, his name is "Rock" after all.
You people predicting the Eagles would win and would score 30+....
Have you looked at the weather forecast?
Yeah, its supposed to rain now. It wasn't when I predicted 31.

Not really, when you consider that the taterskins are ranked 30th vs. the pass and have allowed a league-high 16 pass TDs this year. Of course the weather could change that a little. If Moss plays, the Skins might have a chance, but if not, it will hurt their O bad. Cooley and Portis are thier only other real threats.

Not in Andy's eyes.
The Skins' pass ranking means more to him than any kind of hindering weather ever could.
:-D Shorts gonna wax somebody. Awesome.
I think the Eagles win this game with McNabb picking on our corners. Can't say I agree with the people predicting Philly wins by 3 TDs....but I think they find a way to get the W.
Still not gonna make the playoffs tho...the Eagles needed to take advantage of their easy early schedule (by going like 6-2) if they wanted to reach the postseason. Their late November-December schedule is just too tough. Of course, the taterskins aren't going either this year....
I can't prove this but I think Matt Schobel might be the worst player in all of professional sports in this country.
Sal Pal says that the taterskins gameplan today is a ton of running with Spittin' Mike Sellers leading the way...
Our f'ing LBs better step it up today. And the DL. Hell, they all need to get it done. TACKLE!
And as expected Moss is expected to play
Duckett active too.
The Birds need to get an early lead and take that WAS running game out of it. That makes me nervous. Them getting it and running away the game.
I hate Sal Pal. Did you see on Countdown how "taterskins play to run at LB McCoy?" He hates McCoy for no reason. He never says any specific shtein about players unless they're injured.
Who out there has NFL Sunday Ticket??? Just checked thier listings from our local provider and every game BUT the Eagles game is listed. Anyone else have the same problem?
Eagles/Skins game was listed when I was flipping through the channels.

Mine too, I'll be watching FOX 45.
Virtually the whole country gets the game locally, since there are only two other NFC 1:00 games and they are both pitiful. It's rare for a 1:00 game to get this kind of national coverage.

You ain't kiddin'. I'm throwing in the towel if they lose this one.
taterskins receiver Santana Moss was active for Sunday's critical NFC East showdown against the Eagles. Aside from that, there were no surprises among the game day inactives for either team.
Moss missed last week's game against Dallas because of a hamstring injury. He practiced most of the week and was listed in the starting lineup.
Philadelphia's inactives included running back Ryan Moats, linebacker Dedrick Roper, offensive linemen Max Jean-Gilles, Pat McCoy, Winston Justice, receiver Jason Avant and defensive tackle LaJuan Ramsey. A.J. Feeley was the third quarterback.
For Washington, Jason Campbell was the third quarterback. The inactives included cornerback Mike Rumph, safety Reed Doughty, offensive linemen Jim Molinaro and Taylor Whitley, defensive linemen Ryan Boschetti and Anthony Montgomery and wide receiver David Patten.
The Eagles' captains for the game were linebacker Matt McCoy, center Jamaal Jackson and running back/returner Reno Mahe.
Mahe served as the primary punt and kick returner.
Game-time weather was 61 degrees with rain and thunderstorms and light winds.
Good start with that kickoff. Makes the Skins look foolish, but doesn't give me a lot to hope for with Reid's pass-happy gameplan.
Great. Start the first drive with a good stop and a penalty. Super.
It's early, we'll be fine....I hope
More sure tackling. Yay.
Wow, more bad tackling by the defense. :boo
Dawk just wiffed on that
Idiot 2 makes a tackle and forces a punt.
Slant jumped. Pass not intercepted.
Kosar picks up the first down to the left.
Called run by McNabb saves them from 3 and out.
17 on the run for Westbrook. :yay
Flea flicker fools nobody. McNabb throws it to Reggie in triple coverage.
Eagles running the ball. :yay
3rd and 1 here....I'm not expecting the 3rd run in a row.
so they run again and BWest fails
Johnston ripping the O-line
Well they did. And Westbrook was short.

The Eagles have a lead in the 1st quarter!
I would have gone with a sneak there needing half a foot, but I'll take the FG.

Rightfully so. They should be able to pick up a single yard.
Yeah, where was the blocking on that play. Oh well.
Positive-Reid is running the ball
Negative-When the skins FINALLY stop it for the first time, Reid shakes his head in disgust. Great. Prepare for the air show to start as the thunderstroms roll in.
Skins kick returner seems to really enjoy jumping for the kickoff.
More laziness from the defense. Nobody touches Portis for 10 yards.
2nd facemask of the day. C'mon!
No one within 10 yards of Chris Cooley for that big catch.
Took them long enough to throw that flag for grounding.
Thought guitar man was going to be flagged for roughing
That pressure saved a potential field goal. Nice job by the pass rush on that last set of downs.
The taterskins really suck. The Eagles are still playing like shtein, and the Skins can't do anything to score.
Stallworth!
Really, really suck.
Nice to see Stallworth healthy and back in the lineup.
Stallworth!
I still love the fact that the ES fans talk about how Randel El and Lloyd are better pick ups then Stallworth....When Stallworth has outproduced them in 4 less games. :-D
WR screen from the Skins. Doesn't quite work.
Dawkins actually makes a tackle. In the backfield!
And then he follows it up by waiting for Betts to hit him beyond the first down marker. :yay
Defense is very soft today.
Portis is out...4th down
BDawk injured... swell.
3rd and 4th downs being converted easily again. I'm tired of this crap....
Great play by Dawkins. Hope he's ok.
Howard still plays for the Eagles!

Is that a TD pass or a fumble recovery? Great play by Springs on Reggie and an even better play by buck.
Was that planned? I can't tell if Reggie was looking for defenders to avoid or looking for Buck to pitch it to.....
Who cares. TOUCHDOWN!

That was an awesome clock-eating one minute drive.
CBSportsline still hasn't awarded points for the last score; not as a TD completion to McNabb, or as a TD run by Buckhalter. They don't seem to know what to call it.

I think by the end of the day, Brian Dawkins will have legally killed someone.
Can't wait to hear that the Refs cost the taterskins the game.

Almost took a sack of 20 before barely getting rid of it
3 plays from the WSH 45 and they went nowhere. C'MON :boom

Agreed. Not that the Skins have done much when they have had the ball but the way they've been able to control the clock it feels like it's just a matter of time
Don is lookin like he's gonna hurl. Hope he does it off camera.
Well (hopefully) Reid will get back to running the ball again in the 2nd half. But with 2:40 left in the half, he had to be regular Reid and pass 3 times in a row to try and get something going for another score before half.
Please keep running the ball in the 2nd half Andy....please. :'(
They're running the ball and looking to lose TOP by 2:1. Yelch.
Nice play by Brown...here's hoping the D doesn't run out of gas :paranoid
Walker, farg, farg, farg....use your farging head ......
Please get Darwin Walker out of the game.
The Eagles are gay.
Does Bunkley even dress anymore?
taterskins have 7 penalties for 65 yards, Eagles have 6 penalties for 60 yards. Not much discipline on display in this first half.

I do. Those long drives are going to end in points sooner or later.
Eagles have a chance for some late points. But chances are excellent they will farg it up.

OK, they stopped them on 4th down...they're not worried are they. They know it's unlikely we'll score

Against the taterskins, in the rain, the way this defense is playing today....Probably not.
And as long as in between those long drives eventually ending in points, the Eagles are striking back...the Eagles have the upper hand.

Because that's where they're starting drives, and McNabb thinks it's time to start throwing ground balls. :D
Hopefully Reid gets back to the run in the 2nd half, no more 2 minute drill drives now.

Why call a run with no time outs and at the OPP 45 yard line? I've been asking for Reid to run the ball all year....but passing is the only option in that situation. They got a good gain on the slant to Reggie and were trying to push the ball a little deeper to get a FG out of Akers. If you run the ball, you pretty much guarentee you'll get nothing (no time outs to stop the clock). At least with passing you have a chance.

They had no chance. Their two throws near the sidelines were incomplete. And with the way McNabb handles the no huddle, yeah, run it and go into halftime up by 14.

So for the 2nd half....
-Keep running the ball Andy
-McNabb, stop throwing the ball in the dirt
-WR's don't drop the ball
-Defense keep playing as is, but solidify the middle a little more
-Let taterskins keep shooting themselves in the foot
Sounds good.

Sure looked like they had a chance after the completion to Reggie. Mcnabb then proceeded to chuck one in the dirt (to stop the clock), chuck one in the dirt (Brown miscommunication, or Mcnabb bad throw?), and then Stallworth got clocked and dropped the ball. when you're at the 45 yard line and have David Akers, that 8 yard completion to Stallworth could have set up Akers for a long FG try wit htime running out. A run would have ended the half without any chance of scoring, period.
And no chance of giving the ball back, even if the Skins did nothing with it. End the half, no chance of turnovers, stupid penalties, and Mr Hamstring doesn't get clocked.
Not to mentino that if Reid was at the taterskins 45 with 30 or so seconds left, and ran the ball, half the MB would be here bitching at Reid for not being agressive enough and trying to score from the 45.
Jesus Christ, where is Reno Mahe buying these kick returns from?

Home Depot.
3rd and 4, already in FG range. No run. Surprised?
Going for it on 4th down. Buh?
Defense calls the play again, and Westbrook still gets 3.
McNabb eludes the sack, good catch by Westy.
Where has LJ gone ???
The call looks right to me. Westbrook had control and kept control when he hit the ground. The ball came up while he was standing up.
Yuck, that could be a fumble.
Looks like a fumble to me.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET. I will now shut my dirty whorish mouth.
Refs gave the game to the Eagles! Gibbs is God!
zesty goalline offense.
They got blown off the line on that third down
Maybe next time Buck should ignore the hole that is open and run into the back of the backup center.
They finally bring out Cole, and what do they do? They go sideways instead of pushing the defense back for that one friggin' yard.
I'm convinced they could have scored on any of those downs with a called QB run to the corner.
Whoever Runyan was blocking was 4 yards into the backfield. Terrible blocking, bad play call...Just go right up the middle, screw the stretch play on goalline.
Neither team wants to win this game.
What the hell is going on?
Well, whatever. It's 20-3.
6 minutes, and 3 points (eventually). I'll take it over a punt under 30 seconds.
Eagles defense... brought to you by squeezably soft Charmin Ultra.
TD Sheldon Brown! This game's done.
Defense makes a big play.
That was nice.
NICE ;D ;D ;D
Touchdown!!
Go Tito... err, uh, I mean other guy!
Help out the currently blind mofo.... INT return for TD? How far?
70 yards.
On the kickoff, the returner's flag was clearly grabbed five yards before he was ruled down. Are they playing tackle football or something?
70 yds
Duckett for 12 yards.
OMGTJDUCKETT!
OHMYGODWILLIAMJAMES!1
Reno lets the punt bounce to the 3. Cut him.
Mahe lets the punt go and it's downed at the 2. Idiot....
I think Mr Fragile should have the rest of the day off and Buck should carry the rest of the game.
P.S Cincy/SD Game wowow
Westy up to the 5.
Stallworth for 5 on the sideline.

Didn't surprise me that we ran more because Marty was calling the plays. That is good for the Eagles because Andy was out of control. I'm glad to see he had the balls to let that go, but it shows Andy is all about winning.

Did ya have fun watching your boy Sean Taylor look like a punk bitch today, icehole?
30 yards in penalties and watching Stallworth double move his ass on his way 80 yards to the house.
I'm surprised Sean didn't pull his guns out and try to shoot Donte.
It was an OK win. The Run D was hit and miss all day. They stopped the run effectively but then they were gashed on a few plays. However, I think the Run D did show improvement and stopped the run when it counted the most -- like on 3rd down.
The offense was hit and miss too. The run game at the end of the game was excellent, and it was a relief to see them run the ball so effectively. A lot of those runs were Brian Westbrook all the way though. I don't think there is any doubt that he can carry the pill 20 times a game.
McNabb was a little erratic today. He made some poor throws, but I'll give him somewhat of a pass because of the weather. However, some of his throws were just ugly.
The goal line stand by the taterskins, however, was completely unacceptable. They need to pound the ball in on the one yard line. You can't settle for a field goal at the one against great teams and expect to win. They need to be more efficient in that regard.
The Eagles played well, for the most part, on both ends of the ball. Kept the taterskins out of the end zone is something to hang your hat on. It was a good win that hopefully can be built on top of for some weeks to come. Winning 27-3 against any team in the league is a pretty good game.

Didn't get down there until 1230. By then I had to find my boy with the tickets and get in the line to get in. Did get felt up by the lady security person, though. She wanted it.
I'm glad they beat the Skins. But they looked no different in this game than in the Saints/Bucs/Jags game. Doesn't bode well.
And talk about your dejavu. Christ, was that Stallworth TD a carbon copy of the Horn TD from the Eagles-Saints game? Sean Taylor isn't better than Mike Lewis - he is Mike Lewis.
Other than the Eagles having a 100-yard rusher in Westbrook, Donovan not throwing any stupid interceptions, Morningwood calling the plays instead of Andy, and beating a team by 24 points instead of losing, I'll agree with you, MMH.
1 game back :yay
This may be the first actual football game I've seen from the Eagles in 6 years. It wasn't great, but it was fun to watch.
Eagles right back in the game. Pretty much everyone lost today that would be good for us except Dallas.
LOVE IT
Eli looked like crap in that Giants loss. The Eagles are right back in the race for the division crown. Next week is a must win at home against Tenn. before we go to Indy.
I liked what I saw from the offense. McNabb had some bad passes, but what qb wouldn't in that kind of weather? It was amazing he did what he did. I was glad to see a good running game. My one question is why was Bwest in the game at the end of the 4th qtr.??

Because you need your best runner in to bleed a clock out. Wasn't it refreshing to see the Eagles do that to someone ELSE for a change?
Well, he is. He's declining from a very high place, though, so he's still a very good player.
Ha! Like I've said, the Eagles should go to 6-4 after next week, but their last 6 weeks of the schedule are still brutal. Only losing half of those games to go 9-7 would be an achievement. Losing fewer games is even more unlikely.
The Eagles are in head-to-head battles with many of the teams in the playoff hunt in the NFC, so for better or worse, their fate is in their own hands.
Amazing what one game will do:
Eagles most likely to beat the Colts?!? (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/fp/flashPollResultsState?sportIndex=frontpage&pollId=40644)
I voted for week 14, at Jaguars.
Yeah, I saw that poll, too.
However, the Colts have not looked impressive against some really mediocre teams at home in the past couple weeks. If the Eagles come out and play well, they have a pretty good shot at taking that game. But, that's too far off to make a prediction. The Eagles could look like ass against Tenn. and the Colts could look amazing against whatever team they play next week.
Peyton Manning has made the Eagles D look silly in year's past, and assuming that Jimmy John will not change his gameplan for Manning, it might be a long day.
Stallworth, Brown, Westbrook, McNabb indoors on turf? i think it gives them a chance
$20 says that Reid doesn't even fly Marty to Indy for that game.
Yeah, hopefully Stallworth's delicate hamstring will hold up on that turf and not get ripped to bits when he plants.
That's also assuming he makes it through next week unscathed.
I was more worried about Stallworth's hammy on the wet field yesterday than I am about him playing on turf.
22 carries for westbrook = :bow
many up the gut too
hopefully this lasts
indy will be the real measuring stick....they need to be competitive in that game
i rewatched the game this morning
the eagles had 22 first down plays in the game 18 of them were runs!
most impressive was three straight 1st down runs on the first possesion and then the first play of the next possesion play action bomb to stallworth....perfectly played
i cant believe how unbelievably bad broderick bunkley is
Did you shed a tear or two when your boy Sean got smoked? :D
The Colts aren't the Colts of old, y'all. They've been taken to task by some zesty teams and they are beatable. Anthony Thomas ran for 109 on them yesterday.
With Marty calling the plays now, the Eagles will run it. Indy is historically bad at defending the run
the eagles lose in indy no question
just a matter of by how much
Not to look past the Titans - because they're not as bad as we're lead to believe - but the Colts are certainly beatable. They need to do what they did this last game, which is run the ball. Keep Manning off the field and don't get into a shootout with them.
this is true the titans are a tough team...in my mind tho thats a lead pipe lock win...if they lose at home to vince young then who would even really care about the indy game
If they lose at home to Vince Young, rjs will kill himself.

Hey, I'd take a Westbrook 100+ yrd game over McNabb 300 + passing game anyday. The way we controlled the clock and play calling was how you win a game. I know this team can play that way, you just have to adjust and attempt to run. I think the D really stepped it up yesterday, Sheldon had a great game. Game ball goes to Marty! Keep calling the plays :yay :yay

Must be a replay. I saw it a couple of hours ago. Most boring interview ever.
they replay cold pizza a few times every morning
The Colts are zesty against the run. The only way, I think, we have of beating them is to pound the ball and not get in a shootout, because I don't think the Eagles can compete with the weapons Peyton has.
Hopefully the Eagles will continue this philosophy. And hopefully Buckhalter can see the holes better and contribute, because while I think Westbrook can carry the ball 20 times a game, he is also so valuable in the passing game that I would hope Buck can give us 10-15 solid carries so not of all of Westbrook's touches are in the run game.
Wow, what a win will do. I'm in shock from seeing people post on the subject of actually beating the Colts!
I don't know, they're not going undefeated. Somebody will beat them. I have doubts about it being the Eagles though. It's going to take 30 plus pts. to win this game. I don't know if the Eagles D can hold Manning and company to under 30.
am i the only one not even worried about the colts right but about vince young and the colts? they arent as bad as thier record would indicate.

Your right, we've seen the Eagles get flushed down the toilet once already this year. But as a fan, it's hard not to look ahead at a big game. It won't be a big game if we get beat by the Titans though.
I'm concerned about the Titans too. The subject was brought up because of the ESPN poll, so I'd thought I would inject my two cents.
Ironically, the Eagles are just as apt to lose to a dogshtein team like the Titans as they are of beating an undefeated team like the C-Notes at Indy.
Ok, maybe not the second part but definitely the first...

Other than the Eagles having a 100-yard rusher in Westbrook, Donovan not throwing any stupid interceptions, Morningwood calling the plays instead of Andy, and beating a team by 24 points instead of losing, I'll agree with you, MMH.
Yeah, they ran more, and just as effectively as they have all season. They passed less, and were just as hit and miss. And it's the farging taterskins. A team even worth it's weight in salt makes that game a lot closer. Crushing that squad, especially after Portis went down? Expected. And lets not forget, the run D was still zesty at best. Giving up that many yards to Ladell Betts? Can't wait to see Joseph Addai.....
This isn't worth its own thread but I had to comment on it... I got into a little shtein with some other Eagles fans at the game.
They were upset at me for standing and making noise.
Against a division rival.
While we were on defense.
I jawed back at them and gave them the finger and they called security on me. It was surreal. I've never seen Eagles fans act like that. That's behavior that I attribute to bullshtein fancy fans of other teams. It was extremely disappointing and after I stared the woman next to me down to the point where she wouldn't look at me any more I left and dragged SunMo with me because I didn't want to do something that was going to get me kicked out and put his season tickets in jeopardy.
Luckily phattymatt had empty seats in his section, which was right down on the field. But for future reference, section 242's wine drinking cheese eating ass can suck my left ass cheek.
It's sickening. I've had people tell me to sit down too.
The sad thing is that these wine & cheesers are becoming more and more common. Its funny because after they usually make a snide remark about someone standing up when you look at them 5 minutes later they are stuffing their face, talking on the phone or doing other stuff and not watching the game.
Same thing in 135. People were yelling at us to sit down. Now, there are certain times when standing up can be rude. But, for the most part, it's a farging football game. This is what happens.
yeah, it was bullshtein...at one point one of the douches were yelling at RJS to sit down during a timeout, to which i asked, "what are you trying to see on the field during a timeout?"
also, it must be noted that the people yelling at him weren't right behind him, they were two and three rows behind. and in the upper level, it's quite easy to see over people standing two rows in front of you.
also, after they told security on us, it was farging hilarious to hear RJS yell at everyone for being too loud at a football game
I still don't think he's real.
What'd security say? Did they actually tell him to sit or did they roll their eyes at the Hoydas who were crying?
That is one of the reasons why I choose to stand in the concourse or on the stairwell to watch when I go down there. Because you can move around and not have anyone piss and moan about you standing or screaming. The first time I sat in the seat for the whole game was at the GB game.
security told him to stop giving the finger because "there are kids around", and i told her that those iceholes are saying things far worse than him giving the finger, but she was having none of it
They shoulda never tore down the Vet.
Are they even done cleaning that up yet?
I hate that crap too. I do miss the Vet because it didnt have so many of these rich pricks in the stadium.

True. But the bitch next to me was also jumping on the bandwagon. She was what really pushed me over the edge. When she elbowed me and said, 'Why don't you just sit down and enjoy yourself' I'm pretty sure I could have choked her out and not felt any remorse.
dude, that was my mom
Wow. I stood the good deal of the 1st half, no problems up in murp's section. Thats bullshtein.

Yea I guess the guy who's usually there decided to come to the game after the first half, so yea, we had to leave.

well, most of the time...
We had similar problems with the schmucks who sit behind us. I think we mentioned it during all the tailgating. The guys were pissed that LSB was standing during the pre-game warm-ups (of the Cowboys game, no less). When they started getting all pissy about it, that's when I decided to stand, as well.
That was last year. And for the rest of the season, they never stood up. They didn't cheer or yell. They just sat and watched. Jeez.
They are a little better this year. We don't stand all the time, but certainly at the appropriate times we do. And I've actually seen the guys behind us. Maybe they had the bugs surgically removed from their asses or something.
theirs a word for a womans hole that rhymes with runt...the guys who sit behind us use it in a sentence whenever possible....needless to say they have never had a problem with us standing up
I now understand a couple of things about SunMo.
1. When he told me months ago that he was worried that I would do something to make him lose his season tickets I thought that he was just being paranoid about how much I drink and how much I talk and how abrasive I am. Actually, he's just surrounded by douches and legitimately has to worry about them tattling on him at the drop of a hat.
2. He generally doesn't drink much before the game. This still doesn't compute for me, but I can understand the need to have all of your patience and wits about you if you're going to be surrounded by that kind of shtein.
well, i usually drink more than i did Sunday, i was just hung over from Saturday night

Which is normally a good option, unless the people in the row in front of that area decide to stand for the whole game (remember the 2005 Cowboys game). Then you need to watch the game on the end zone TV's.

You simply can't relate to this discussion though. You can stand ON your seat and no one would even notice.

This was one of those "other" times. We pwned your section.
All the iceholes with bugs in their asses need to sell their season tickets to fans who yell, curse, scream, stand and generally give a damn about the team. PM me if your one of them.
Do you want pm's from the people who are iceholes or the people who yell, scream, stand and curse? Because if it's the latter, then you're going to be getting a lot of useless and probably offensive messages.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I'd just like to step in and say farg The taterskins. :)

Then there are the opposite types. The people who feel a need to scream at other people in the section because they don't live up to their expectation of what a real fan is. Usually you can find that person flapping his arms - palms up - like a big bird in a vain attempt to get others to cheer.
Like anybody listens to him any other time.
^^^^Sometimes I do that :-\^^^^
While the offense is on the field?
No. I try to limit that sort of behavior to libraries and old folks homes.

Well, I still don't have a clear picture of rjs to prove he's real, but I do have a picture of his middle finger.

Was rjs ever on a sitcom?
(http://www.exhibitoronline.com/exhibitormagazine/images/november_2004/mediaevent/wilson_small.jpg)
Nah, Wilson didn't have those super cool side burns and that trendy baseball cap. :o
Nor did he flip off Tim.
I just read through the bit about people pissing and moaning about noise and stuff at the game. That's just plain f'ing bullcrap, guys
Hell, we stood during the entire Dallas game and my seats are in the third f'ing row in 110 in the end zone. It's not as if I need to stand. It just happens. There's plenty of time to take a seat. There's timeouts, change of possession, challenges, halftime, end of quarters, etc.
You're at the game to make noise (when the Eagles are on defense, obviously) to disrupt the other team and make yourselves a presence in general. If the candy asses around you don't like it, then farg 'em. There's nothing in the stadium rules that says you have to be quiet nor is there anything that says you have to sit down. I can understand the language thing to a point, but a stray farg, shtein or goddammit is nothing to get yourself into a twist over.
Bottom line: Uptight motherfargers need to sell their damn seats to people who will go to the games to cheer on the Eagles, not use them as business tools or perks for other uptight iceholes who couldn't care less about what's going on on the field.
PS: rjs did the right thing clamming up, though. I got yelled at by one of the nazi's in yellow last year for yelling shtein out at the Giants players on the field. I was like, wtf are we supposed to do, cheer them on?? He told me there was kids around and language like that wasn't acceptable. In the old days, people would have laughed at him and told him to stfu, but now that Lurie owns the stadium and will take your seats away in a second, you can't fight them anymore.

I didn't clam up. I mocked them and taunted them and then moved to a section where I could act however I wanted without risking SunMo's season tickets.
Your point is well taken, though. And it's a goddamned shame.
i stood almost the entire game 10 rows from the field and no one said anything, but i also got in trouble for flipping the bird.
unbelieveable
If you're the only person standing in the section and you're doing so at the wrong time just to be a fleshpop then I can see people getting upset. Drunks do that all the time and they inevitably get the "icehole!" treatment until they sit the farg down. That's fine. I don't have a problem with that.
However, from my perspective, everyone should be standing & screaming their throats raw when the other team is on offense. There's no legitimate excuse for apathy in the stands. Also - taunting the other team is a rich Philadelphia tradition. Part of taunting them and getting into their heads is using raw language. Saying "you suck" and being repremanded by some $8/hr. pipsqueak is bullshtein and Lurie and his gang of politically correct weasels need to be made to understand that.
Football isn't a pretty sport. It's dirty, violent, and nasty. Expecting the fans in the stands to act like it's a goddamn tennis match is ludicrous.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but the "fumble" to Buck was changed to a TD pass. Elias determined that it would have been an incomplete pass if Buck hadn't caught it...
QuoteThe Elias Sports Bureau officially changed the touchdown play by Eagles running back Correll Buckhalter in Sunday's win over the taterskins. They ruled that Reggie Brown did not have possession of the ball and, therefore, did not fumble.
Here's a breakdown of the official scoring of the play and subsequent statistical changes from the game:
Official scoring: A 55-yard TD pass from Donovan McNabb to Buckhalter.
Passing: McNabb should have 257 yards passing and two touchdowns. With that extra touchdown pass, McNabb is now tied for the league lead in touchdown passes with the Colts' Peyton Manning. Both quarterbacks have thrown 18 TD passes. It also marked the 152nd TD pass of his career, ranking him second in Eagles history.
Receiving: Brown should be 1-for-18 with a long of 18, while Buckhalter should be 1-for-55 with a touchdown.
Total Yards: Total yards for the Eagles: 400; Net passing yards: 255
that may seriously farg me in my one Yahoo league, if they institute the change

I love this. I have DMac in my money league, which is a points-for-scoring-only league, where the number of points granted is determined by how long the TD pass was.
The guy in the office next to me was playing the Eagles team (which picks up all misc. scores) and has been giving me shtein about "stealing" my TD all week. Now he's farged.
I won my week by one point..... if they change this......
I have Dmac in a money league also. I was wondering were that TD went. Someone had to get credit for it. It was no were to be found on the cbs sportsline stat sheet. I had already won my game, but the pts. help in the power standings.
