Birds vs. Bucs Game Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

Figured I'd start this to share what John Czarnecki of FOXSports.com is reporting;

Stallworth is out (didn't make the trip)
Westbrook will start.

Guess they're hoping Stallworth can play next week then rest during the bye.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Or sit through the bye...

I think he'll give it a shot next week because of the bye.

Thankfully the offense hasn't sputtered without him.

I'm a little nervous today. They have to get to 5-2---must win. I hope they come out smokin. No slow starts and FINISH THE GODDAMN GAME!

hey its another week where i wont get to see the game so keep up the good work and keep the rest of us updated. thanks in advance!

I've got a hunch that today is the day that Brodrick Bunkley announces himself to the NFL...I think he gets a sack or two and another big play. He's playing in his hometown.

I also think that Smith has a huge day on offense.

Temperature is in the mid 80's in Tampa right now and expected to be in the mid 90's come game time. Heat index says it will make it feel like it's in the 100's. Pickle Juice?

Spads said that they won't be going deep too much today because of the Cover 2 (makes sense)

Ryan Moats will RETURN KICKS today per Spads on Fox29

Justice is inactive so if Tra's back acts up Herremans slides out

dont win this game seasons over....my only worry is the crowd factor and the bucs blitzing a lot to throw off the offense...im still waiting for that dud game...signs have been showing lately that it may be coming...specifically the atrocious 3rd down % theyve had for the last two weeks

that said they do win today 20-10...no way they lose to mike peplinski


my personal delimma today is this

eagles are on locally so i planned on having my eagle friends over to watch the game

however

the skins start at 4 and if the birds game is not over it will be cut off for the skins and that is making me think i need to go to the bar to watch

do i take the chance of staying at home?

[PhillyPhreak54]

I think you'll be OK. FOX starts late games @ 4:15 so it should be alright.

I thought last week was the downer game on offense. Despite the 21 unanswered they sucked on offense.

do i take the chance of staying at home?

Stay home. That way, people won't harass you at the bar for wearing a Skins jersey.

[ice grillin you]

all late games are 415 now...i thought only the 'national' game was

also because its the local washington fox station i think the eagles game will cut off at 4 for the skins pregame wont it as opposed to cutting over at exactly 415

do i take the chance of staying at home?

Go to the bar.  Guarantees you'll see the whole game.  Spend some money, support the economy.  Added bonus: since you won't be having friends over, your mom won't yell at you for the mess they make.

well its an eagle bar which actually makes it pretty bad...usually when i go there tho i wear my half taterskin half eagle jersey and usually get left alone


Added bonus: since you won't be having friends over, your mom won't yell at you for the mess they make.

double added bonus: moms drives and picks us all up from the bar

I thought CBS games started at 4:05?

I don't think they have local pre-game shows. I know the Eagles, when they play late, have the pregame on Fox29 at 11am, then the national pregame at 12 and then the games at 1. They switch over right before kickoff to the late games.

did anyone confirm that Sallworth isn't playing?  i haven't seen anywhere other than this thread.
