yeah how sickening is the nfl
i can almost see the need to black out regular season games because they're so dependent on them for revenue, but NO ONE is interested in preseason games. they might as well give the tickets away for free to season ticket holders and make up the difference in regular season prices, because the reality is, the preseason tickets are worth exactly zero.
We won't have it to complain about next year at this rate.
100% guarantee we still have to pay for our season tickets regardless if there's a work stoppage.
in fact, i think it's in the sbl agreement that we still have to pay one way or another or we lose our rights to the tickets. although i'm pretty sure that's illegal, i'd be the first one to sign up for a class action suit against those bastiches.
Good thing PG won't have that problem.

if nothing else use the damn preseason game as an infomercial to sell regular season tickets
wait this game is on regular fox?
hello
Yes and it's being broadcast in color too.
That's racist!
That's not very funny, but I still laughed.
I'm good with pity laughs.
holy crap did stacey andrews just get embarrassed
If he didn't, I sure as hell did.

Jordan looked surprised the RB was still up.
I got a suggestion....TACKLE HIM!
they didnt get blown up on that play andy for some reason had a counter trey type run with andrews pulling and he was just ridiculously late getting over...and in fairness to him you cant really expect him to fill a hole like that in short yardage
Finally Benson stopped for no gain. For once.

Reid calls a pass on 3rd and 1. And it works. Reid exults.
I'm getting scard of what the zestiness of the O-Line might do to K-Kobb's vertabrae. Nice play Kobb downfield.
jesus moose is a dope...andrews gets beat all game and then does a very good job picking up rivers and takes him out of the play and he calls him out for getting beat
Weaver smart not to catch that pass behind the line.

the bengals are such fraud paper tigers...people see ocho cinco and to and think greatness...not realizing they are almost a combined 80 years old...neither requires a double team any more and they are fairly easy to defend at this point
Is Cole gonna get fined for the Punisher icon undershirt?
I think I heard in the pre-game that he got the punisher's permission to wear it.

I agree. The team is old, penalty prone, and weak at a bunch of positions. Plus their coach sucks. I don't see them taking a big leap forward this year.
yeah...im not even saying they wont make the playoffs...but they are more 9 10 wins than the 11 or 12 and potential conf champion that a lot of people are saying...and they are a team where if even a little bit of tough times hit they will fold like an accordian and win 5 games

At least all the other awfulness has covered up Kolb's bad game nicely.
I'm assuming the fact that the line is a funnel to kolb's grill had already been discussed.
Naturally, I say something about Kolb and he goes and tosses a nice pass over a defender.

thats why i think it was more of a stinger type injury...not necessarily an actual stinger but numbness and shooting pain....then again a contusion doesnt mean just a bruise...could still result in a strain or minor dislocation
or...yeah...he could just be a bitch
Why did the morons take the holding call instead of the sack/loss of down?
gonna see a lot of that in nate allens career
I bet that shtein is separated..
Ha, that hit on Cinco was worth the price of admission.
The only thing entertaining about this game is Leon Phelps.
wish it was owens
I think jay said last week he wasn't sold on shady..agreed.

Jackson and Maclin are going to be studs, and I really like what I'm seeing from Kolb. I've never understood everyone's assumption that McCoy could excel as a starting RB. He hasn't shown anything. The line in front of him blows, but I'm not sold on shady at all.
It seems like they run better with Weaver back there.

i dont see the maclin love either...i think hes gonna be a better wr than shady will a rb but i dont see stud at all...i think his upside is a very good number 2....i think this happens with every team in every city but its also definitely the case with the eagle young skill players...just because they are high picks people automatically assume they are all going to be all pros
pimp being the exception of course...his talent punches you in the face when you just see him on the heated bench with a hoody parka
man brandon graham looks good
and is there any question trevor laws doesnt make a single regular season play this year
wow Vick is farging horrible.
both demps and lindley did the fake effort to get the fumble thing, and the bengal dives on it right in front of them.

i wouldnt be worried about him...he fits the offense nicely...i think he can go for 1000 yards and 50 catches a season for the next five years...he just isnt ever going to be a game changer...like i said hes just another guy...the good thing will be that you wont care if he gets injuured because he will be easy to replace unlike 36
Until he proves he can run inside and is a lot more consistent, I won't be convinced. Eldra Buckley is the hardest runner on the team right now.
Oh, and did anyone touch on the red-zone shtein storm?
When does the first team O plan on scoring?
i dont worry about units or situations in preseason...i only look at individual players...if the defense sucks or the offense sucks who cares because you arent seeing everything as players and coaches both dont give a farg and thus dont give near their all in the preseason
what i look at is rookies that are expected to contribute...allen and graham
questionsmarks...andrews and jordan (at sam)
or first timers....cobb
I know all the spiels about "vanilla" and whatnot, but I look for cohesion too. I look for how a unit is vibin' and I don't see that with them right now.
Questions:
Interior OL
Running Game, namely McCoy
Red Zone O
SAM LB
Nickel CB (Patterson should win the job)
So, the Leon Phelps thing didn't resonate?
is it more or does shady seem kind of....slow
like hes already had 4 knee surgeries and his legs are hanging on a correll buckhalter thread of survival
My two cents: For preseason, the D looked solid. Offense was not bad but the guard position was god awful. Stacey is bad at football! Demps may be the dumbest football player I have ever seen. Vick is still awful. Nate getting run over by Fedric was kinda funny.
I keep hearing Chad Halls name but have yet to see him make a half decent play.

The Eagles have had, what, twenty years of pretty good to great RBs? One that's just okay is a little unusual. Even when they're not using them right, all we've seen for most of forever has been good backs.
Shady was basically the starter last year. Not really expecting him to be any better or worse.

Who cares if they score? The preseason isn't about "putting points on the board" it's for making sure the players are going where they're supposed to go, making the right reads and reactions (the o-line's sucking at this so far) and being in the places they're supposed to be. Sure it'd be great to see them light it up, but that's not what matters.
Watching the preseason like they're regular season games is a lesson in futility. It's not even about being vanilla or not, you don't know what the coaches are looking at, looking for, or trying to assess. Scoring points doesn't matter anymore then winning or losing the game does, assessing the players' reactions against another team/ in a non-practice situation is the key.
That said I'm mightily impressed with Cooper, the ball seems to stick to his hands when it comes to him and watching Allen get trucked had me laughing out loud. I don't think he'll wait to take a hit like that again. Hopefully he learned his lesson and next time he's in a one-on-one like that he'll initiate the contact and attack the ball carrier to at least limit the impact on himself. He had good form, though, when he broke down.... right before getting planted into the turf. :D
I didn't make it past 1/2 thru the 3rd quarter.
But I notice that Akers hit a 48 yarder...that's nice to see.
Preseason football is brutal, to watch that is. Listening to it is almost as bad. After the first quarter it gets so boring the announcers start talking about what they had for lunch. The love for Moose and Emmitt Smith was so touching i almost cried.
Agreed Shady looks slow. Almost as though he's just going 3/4 speed.

Any update on Maclin?
The chip shot field goal pissed me off more than anything else about that lousy performance last night.
I mean, why bother? Is there a critical need to practice extra-point distances in the kicking game or might a circumstance happen during the regular season where you're going to have to go for it on fourth down near the goal line?

Shoulder contusion, should be fine.
I think he's going to be nicked up all season, he seems like the type of player that won't play through minor injuries. He doesn't have that 'attitude' either like a Desean Jackson or even an Ocho Cinco who plays with a chip on their shoulder.
Shady is a middle of the pack RB who fits into the offense. That being said I wish they would have spent one of their million picks on a developmental RB. There are late round gems found all the time, but they're usually the bigger raw guys like a Ryan Grant (yes I know he went undrafted)
Quote from: SD on August 21, 2010, 11:06:56 AMI think he's going to be nicked up all season, he seems like the type of player that won't play through minor injuries.
I don't agree.
Watching the game on DVR now as i farging work, had a FF draft last night, you care. Kolb isnt getting any protection like you all said, but Djack is shredding the Bengals and making it look effortless. Kolb hitting WR's in stride is very nice
Man i was wrong about Graham, i didnt think he'd be able to play at this level at his size, but he's pretty damn Impressive. Nate Allen needs to learn how to go low on tackles, so he doesnt get trucked. Keenan Clayton might be a player too, he's surprised the hell out of me in both preseason games.
Its not cold out yet, so Rocca is booming the shtein outta the ball, but i hope it continues this year. He did improve once they stopped telling him last year to hold back.

These are two good points that have gone overlooked (for the most part) in this thread. For a rookie Graham is damn good, I like him better in stunts and whatnot than I do off the edge, he tries to beat the RT with speed moves too often, but overall you can tell he's gonna be a player. Already got his butta joint off borntrade. Clayton was going against backups but he was always in the middle of things and made some nice plays.
Allen did exactly what the scouts said he would be last night: he got blowed up in run support, and covered the bomb picture perfect.
Ocho tweeted during the game and will be fined

QuoteEverybody please follow my good friend and the person who knocked me silly last night, Philly Eagles linebacker @stewbradley
I'm sure he and Bradley are indeed "good friends."
Allen's coverage skills are impressive, he definitely has that part of the game in him. The physical stuff he can make up for by learning how to take bigger guys down. When Graham made the tackle on the sing run by Jones to the RT, and Graham popped the shtein out of him, impressive. Graham had maybe 2 yards of steam and hit Jones so hard it was loud as shtein on the tv. He's got raw power, and that drive. Trevor Laws had a sack, probably the last of his career
Bradley looks good out there, and i have yet to see Ernie Sims do anything.
No mention of the ridiculous amount of blitzes they were throwing at the Eagles offense though. I loved it when Goose pointed out they were getting to Kolb with a 'standard' 5 man rush, what's funny is that's only standard when the rest of the time they're getting to him with 6 or 7 guys. Whether you're in a 3-4 or 4-3 anything more than 4 guys rushing the QB is considered a blitz.
And it's preseason football, not practice against your own team mates. Players have been chomping at the bit to unload on someone.
I didn't notice Ernie Sims making any big hits. Maybe he should have saved his game intensity for a game.
Dear Andy,
Please teach your Offensive linemen how to line up on the motherfargin' LOS. That shtein was infuriating. Once you get them lined up correctly... please encourage them to get in the way of the oncoming defenders. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Ya boy Feva

Yeah, it seems to be one of those "point of emphasis" things the officials latch onto each pre-season. I was watching a couple other games over the weekend and I saw it called at least three other times.

Yes. I know. That's because you are a Philly fan. Not a sports fan. Which is cool, to each their own.
Either that or you love soccer, which is also cool.
i watch more non philly sports than everyone on this board combined...i just dont watch preseason football...altho i must admit i was last channeling mcnabb with the phillies sat night
You like to prop yourself up as the biggest sports fan in the worlds (or at least top five) but the things you actually post tend to tell a different story. Like I said, it's cool, no one cares, it's just obvious that statements like the one above are simply not true.
im not even top one million i would say....im talking about this board....which basically says nothing
fact remains nfl preseason is one of the really bad things in life and choosing to watch soccer over it does not make one a philly sports fan only
Preseason football is better than no football. I find it interesting to see the story lines, watch some guys who won't play much, scout some things from a fantasy football perspective, etc. More than anything, it represents a return to football. It's not a mystery that people watch. I mean, I wouldn't spend time or money going to the game, but having it on in the background is great.

its so great you put it on the background...or its so awful you cant really watch it?

Lolz. Preseason football is by and large, awful to watch. I'll suffer through the 2nd half of an Eagles game only be ause I'm interested in seeing whether or not a bunch of 7th round picks and udfa's can come play better than some other teams 3rd stringers.
But when it comes to a non Eagles preseason game, count me out once the starters leave the field. Even with the starters in it's still boring and vanilla but I'll still watch. But once the starters hit the sideline, I'm probably changing the channel. Or leave it on as background noise while I find something else to do.

So do you suffer and watch or probably change the channel?
peoples argument for preseason football is always well its just nice to have football back...forget the fact that that isnt exactly a ringing endoresement i never understood it because the minute preseason football starts it just makes me want to see regular season football that much more not make he happy that preseason has started
its unwatchable garbage and both the owner of the eagles and the comissioner of the league has said as much over the last month...if it was so great they would be adding two preseason games not taking them away

Usually both. But sometimes neither.
Preseason football is just like a conversation with IGY. You know you'll see some really stupid shtein, but it beats spending time with your family.

The top 5 worlds? That's a lot of farging sports. That's including "Ixdong-mach-two" on planet "Stratos .4-bar" You know how many people watch that alone...during the offseason?
34

I'll watch the starters and maybe keep it on in the background after that. If you're looking for an argument that preseason football is awesome, you won't find it here. What I'm saying is that after the offseason, it's nice to have football, and the promise of actual games, on TV. It's certainly not must-watch material.

you know we were talking specifically about non eagle preseason games?
eagle games ill usually watch twice
I know. Same answer applies. I'm an Eagles fan, but I'm also a football fan.
me, I'm a Hoyda fan. love it.
You like Crosby?
I like Lisa Bonet. Close enough?
Not really. Some people are interested in football only insomuch that the Eagles are involved.
you mean somewhere in the world that person exists?...i was talking about on the board
either way i cant imagine there are more than a handful of people in the country that like the nfl but only care about their team
i think more likely there a lot of people that dont care about a team but love the nfl because of fantasy and gambling
Which side are you arguing? You like football enough to watch an Eagles preseason game, but not enough to watch others. I like football itself enough to watch other preseason games when they're on and it's convenient. Not hard to understand.
I usually stop watching after the Eagles are eliminated. I pay some attention, and watch a game if I've got nothing else going on. But generally, after the Eagles are out so am I. Needless to say, I don't watch Super Bowls. Sunday night is a good time to wrench.

not really arguing
preseason football sucks
very few if any people care about just their own team and no one on this board is like that
these are facts
lol...Dio literally just said that he's exactly like that. Shut up.
I dont care enough to watch a preseason game that doesn't involve the eagles. There is no reason for me to care who the 49ers third string RB is.
As it is i'll only watch about a half of eagles preseason games on the nfl network replay.
reg season phils > preseason eagles.

he will easily miss an eagle game tho...im talking about someone who cares about a team to begin with
I congratulate you on dragging me into a gibberish argument that's helping you pass the day. Well played.
i barely care about the eagles preseason games let alone the other teams' games.
they're glorified practices, but if that's what turns you on, yay for you, i guess.

I spend 6 months without football, so when its back I will soak that shtein up.
I was watching Browns/Rams earlier.
I don't even know if I'd watch that game if were regular season...

I'm a Lakers/Dodgers Fan
I don't usually watch out of conference games, but if the Giants, Skins, or Cowboys are on and I'm in front of the TV, I'm watching. Not saying I'm tivoing that stuff or anything...well, thats a lie 'cause I tivoed the Skins/Ravens, but I don't usually go out of my way to watch them.
so on sunday at four or 8 if the say chargers are at the steelers you wont watch??...actually farg that who cares whos on what do you watch on sundays if not football?
i think i severely overestimated this board which is almost impossible to do
if the eagles play at 1:00 i'm usually drunk as farg when the 8:00 game rolls around, so no, i don't usually watch it unless there's a division game on.
if that makes me a bad person then please forgive me, oh wise one.
i absolutely guarantee that you are rarely if ever "drunk as farg" at 8:00 on a sunday night
I think it's more likely that the old man is drunk as farg nearly every night at 8pm, not just on Sundays after the Eagles play.
you do realize that no one here gives a shtein what you think, much less guarantee, right?
I can't imagine not watching football pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday.

its just that i know you arent getting hammered drunk every football sunday. youre a seemingly capable working father with two kids. you appear to have your head on straight.
just stop spreadin stories old man.
smackdown
smack down is two words, not one.
why the comma and period but no first word capitalization
im the last person to ever care about these things i just find it interesting in this case
Quote from: Rome on August 24, 2010, 07:49:46 PMsmack down is two words, not one.
duly noted
you don't drink half so much as you say you do
FACT
i say i drink heavily before, during and after eagles games. anyone here who's ever met me in person will attest to this.
overall i don't drink nearly as much as when i was in my 20's and 30's, though. you can't hold down a job and keep a roof over your family's head and still drink 6 nights a week unless you're igy rich.
I'm feeling like maybe I don't like anyone tonight

i do it on the regular
you don't have children
and he also doesnt do it
possibly even less
the only person i can believe gets drunk on the sunday regular is havas
1. cushy govt job
2. no kids
3. wifey dont give
4. pre existing ne philly drinking problem
5. pollack
dont forget every other monday off
lol at pre-existing NE Philly drinking problem.
i forgot about that, damn
one of these days im gonna make you your own bracket
not fake but clearly exaggerate
:-D Wow this place keeps getting worse by the day....arguing about how much people drink.
wouldnt say i even exaggerate. I've been a heavy drinker for longer than i should be, but i know my limits. Today my limits were a glass of JWR, 3 miller lites, two glasses of Alamos Malbec Seleccion, and now an ambien. Night night time. I just do what i do, rarely get hangovers, and if i do i know how to deal with them. I'm the perfect functioning alcoholic
Also, i cant top DMF. First time i met the guy he's giving out Troegenator like its water at a tailgate.

Yeah, this is clearly not true. It's a little ridiculous to rehash our collective abilities to maintain normalcy in the face of regular excessive alcoholic intake, but if anything posted here is even remotely accurate, several of us manage to do it. Hell, some of us even excel at it.
Sobriety is farging boring at best and intolerable at worst.
No real responsibilty other than holding down a job to pay my mortgage, and I still cut back to only weekends. Use to be able to pull off the every night thing, but I'm just getting old.
I dont think i have been drunk enough to be hung over in at least 5 years. With full time work, kids, marriage, half marathons and grad school i'll have a beer or three but hardly any more than that.
And before you jump on that, i am not complaining about any of it, i enjoy each part.

Truer words have never been typed
I drink when I feel like it. I usually have more than one, because it's not really worth it to stop at one. I try to avoid complete inebriation on weeknights, but shtein happens.
Why would I want to compete with my fellow functionals? We should unite and show the normal world how farging boring their life is. You think people would be strapping bombs to their chests and blowing shtein up if they could just take the edge off with delicious miller lite?
they do it with peyote instead

Yes...surprisingly, massive consumption of alcohol is not conducive to good decision making. Also Miller Lite sucks so they'd be pissed off drunks

2) Have to use the can 15 times
3) JO like a champion?
Try seeing it from my perspective, boys & girls. I'm 45 and most of the rest of you are in your 20's & 30's. Keep getting hammered every night until you reach my age and you'll be in the morgue before you hit 50.
