Eagles vs. Raiders Thread

Man, that was one ugly win. McNabb was hurting and looked baaaad. Akers, what can you say, that was one of the most gutsy preformances by a kicker I've ever seen.

[BigEd76]

Says that they wanted to get to the 12 to give Akers a shot...

[Wingspan]

CSN postgame is all negative, asking if it was worth it to lose Akers for 2 months for one win... 

i've said it for years, that is the single worst post game show i have ever seen. lead by our dumbass governor, and a career backup rb.

it sucks, i will not turn it on.

Akers up now

-- "I'm hurt pretty bad"
-- says he knew it was going to hurt for 1 second and had to suck it up
-- says Koy angled the ball differently because he didn't walk back as far
-- thought 30 yds was the absolute limit for him
-- says it hurts when he makes impact with the ball
-- "I want to be out there kicking every single time."
-- rehabbed hard all week and thought he was OK going into the game
-- says on that second opening kickoff, it felt like he was shot
-- says he wants to talk to doctors to get this straightened out because he felt like he let the team down with Oakland's starting field position

Yeah, I don't think anyone would loose any sleep if Mahe was deactivated for a week, or if Billy Mac took a seat so that we can rest a little bit more easily. Kickers are crucial. I think that was displayed in today's game. I don't want to hear anyone badmouth kickers.

He must of asked Doogs what it felt like.....

[BigEd76]

-- felt bad about that missed XP by Simoneau because that could have cost them the game
-- wants to give 100% every week but can't right now and feels bad

[BigEd76]

-- says that this is an integrity thing, not a value thing (i.e. this has nothing to do with wanting a huge paycheck)

[Eaglez]

I love Akers spirit. But he also has to realize that he only hurts the team when he's not playing up to his potential. Lets hope for a speedy recovery, but we need another kicker on this active roster.

reading though this thread makes me laugh with all the bitchin....

Some thoughts:

- Collins had WAY too much time to throw the ball. D-line was getting handled in pass protection.
- Run D was superb today. 
- Gotta give McNabb credit, he was wincing in pain the whole game but gave it his best effort.
- L.J. WTF?!?!?  Such a good TE then fumbles it away for no reason.
- Great game for GLew 
- Kearse was MIA.
- D'hani Jones had a fantastic game
- Westbrook 
- Despite the score, we need to establish the run early to keep defenses honest.
- Bad game all around by Parry.
- Hicks had another poor outing 
- Too many penalties 
- No Turn overs today for the D and 2 for the O in the redzone

I can already hear their list of excuses:

- The Refs
- League wide conspiracy
- Drunkenkowsi had a hangover
- Moss was high
- Sapp was too worried about getting across the bridge to Camden before the end of the game

[PhillyGirl]

The refs?

Love the play where they blew the play dead while Westy was still running with the ball.
