Eagles - taterskins Game Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

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

[PhillyPhreak54]

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.

[Dillen]

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.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Me too. Even though I watch it on channel 29, the game is on channel 706

I can't wait for this one. If they only win two more games the rest of the friggen' season, I hope they beat the taterskins.

At my house, whenever the game is available locally, it's blacked out on the Sunday Ticket.

Amen to that. If the Birds somehow farg this one up, it would be about as soul-crushing as it gets.

[shorebird]

Mine too, I'll be watching FOX 45.

[QB Eagles]

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.
