Eagles - taterskins Game Thread

[ice grillin you]

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

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.

Greatest rjs post ever.

Not thinking about this game helps me. The more and more I ponder about the dynamics of this foosball match, the more my brian hurts. Go Beagles.

Cole 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

[SD_Eagle5]

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.

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.
