Bears/Eagles Game Thread

Ok - I had the sound off because I was watching split-screen with Elmo.  The man of the house is 3' tall and wears size 2T.

4-12!  4-12!  4-12!  Still think I was wrong?

Reid is the stupidest muther-farger there ever farging was, and continued to prove it today.  Protecting a lead, when the offense did nothing all day, and he's farging throwing the farging cock-sucking ball with 3 min left.  And I still believed the stupid assfarger would pull it out.  Then the defence shat the bed.  Beautiful.  You know, if the piece of shtein had just called running plays every time on that last drive, chances are, they'd've run out of time before scoring the game winning TD.  Just a thought, you fargING MORON!

If you can't fire the fat mushhead, at least someone living locally take some shots AT him!

[Don Ho]

These postgame conferences and interviews suck too.  Too many players with "I don't know" comments.  Nobody has any answers to turn this around...

only answer is, thank god for the flyers.

[MadMarchHare]

Blow it up. The whole. God. Damn. THING!

I told you this, even after the Lions game.

Yeah, but I called it after the Packers game.  What do I win?

[Don Ho]

Blow it up. The whole. God. Damn. THING!

to late, were stuck with this pathetic piece of shtein. 

i watched this shtein at the sportsbar and was outnumbered about 25 to 5 Bears fans vs. us.  actually the bear fans were pretty cool.  they're as upset with their performance ytd as we are. 

red zone inepitude was at it's seasons best.  Third and most of the fourth quarter were an offensive mess.  Bears pushed around on both sides of the ball in the second half.   

97 yards in two minutes.  laughable.  I am honestly scared shteinless that the Cowboys and Patriots will score 56+ on us.

[Geowhizzer]

Quite simply, the Patriots will score as many points against the Eagles as they want to.

[PhillyandBCEagles]

4-12!  4-12!  4-12!  Still think I was wrong?

No, we'll win the last 3 games of the year in order to finish 7-9 and ensure that we'll be picking in the bottom half of the first round.  Mother farging AIDS.

As if anyone needed any more ammunition to fire Reid, none of the Eagles coaches know the farging rules.

NFL Explains Griese False Start Penalty

Art McNalley, the NFL representative for officials, explains the false start penalty called on Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Griese with 13:23 remaining in the game. On a 1st-and-10 from midfield, Griese lined up under center to take the snap from Olin Kreutz. The ball flew past Griese and was scooped up by strong safety Sean Considine. However, the referees ruled the play dead claiming that it was a false start penalty and not a fumble.

Can you clarify the false start penalty on the snap that wasn't handled by Bears quarterback Brian Griese? "If the ball is snapped in between the quarterback's legs, he has to be the one to get the ball. Under these circumstances, it has to be ruled a false start. If he's in shotgun and the pass is snapped over his head, clean play, pick it up, go ahead and go the other way, everything's fine. The fact that he's taking the snap direct from the center, goes through his legs, he's got to kill it right away, false start."

What is the intent of the rule? "I don't know what the intent of the rule is, but the ball has to be taken by the quarterback. If he doesn't handle the snap, then it's got to be a false start."

If the quarterback makes contact with the ball, is it then ruled a fumble or is it still a false start? "All I know is if the quarterback doesn't handle the snap, it's a false start."

So once the quarterback has possession, he can lose it, but the key point is that he never handled the snap? "That would be a fumble. Once he has possession."

Is this a new rule or new interpretation? "No, not at all."

The ball never went through his legs, it clearly went to Griese's left. As weird as that play is an NFL coach should know the rule book inside and out.

now you're asking way to much.  that was a weird play. 

[SD_Eagle5]

farg that, I hate Reid and any little thing I can find to hate him more is icing on the cake. FYI the rule is that its a false start and you can't challenge a false start - so its more the refs fault. But farg that, I'm still blaming Reid.

[SunMo]

i didn't read any of this, and i'm sure what i'm about to say has been said over and over, but the entire coaching staff needs to be fired.

Reid and Marty for passing the ball under 3 minutes to go when the Bears only had 1 timeout left, passing the ball on 2nd and 3, and 3rd and 3

Jim Johnson for playing prevent defense with Jevon farging Kearse at the middle linebacker....what the farg was that, WHAT THE farg WAS THAT?

Rory...just because, farg 'em

[BigEd76]

ha...the Eagles open as a 1-point favorite at Minnesota.  Why does Vegas keep making this team a favorite?

To get stupid fargs to lose their money... must be working.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I watched the game yesterday with two buddies: a Philly fan and a Chicago fan.  The Philly fan happily bet on the Eagles with the Bears fan, AND gave him the 5 points.

(Case in point.  And no, the Philly fan wasn't me.  I don't bet on my own team, especially when I don't think it's a smart bet.)

[Feva]

You have a dumb motherfarging friend.  How any Eagles fan can be confident enough to put any money on this team to win a game is beyond me.
