Eagles open as a 3-pt underdog at New Orleans, O/U 46

farg da Saints. Those bastiches are owed one as well. Payton will be ready for them though - not like fatass wade. Beat these guys and maybe there is a glimmer of hope going into the off-season. Lose miserably then they can file last week with the Detroit game..(Except for the priceless bits of watching TO throw a hissy and seeing Romo's date looking like a Ron Jeremy fluffer.)

I know which play you're talking about because while Ware was busy running up the middle, Hunt wast busy blocking Shawn Andrews' ass.  But there was more than once when Ware (among other Cowboy defenders) had a clear path to McNabb. 

Maybe we start to understand why Hunt get's no playing time.

I wonder if we're going to have to see that slut with the "Farg the Eagles" shirt again.

Perhaps.  On the other hand, I don't think you run Hunt out on the field in a known passing situation when you've got 2 veteran runningbacks on the team.  3 if you count Mahe, who isn't a bad blocker and will pretty much do anything you tell him to since he knows the Eagles are his only shot at being on an NFL roster.

They should have her photo on the bulletin board this week and be forced to watch multiple viewings of the farging game last year. If Andrews hadn't gone down we might have had a chance. Who knows what would have happened in Chicago the next week...

But yes, we will likely be treated to that more recent bit of Eagles folklore dredged-up on a sewer man-hole cover this week. Those fargers will likely have her in comped seats this year with a "cleaned-up" media-friendly shirt and memorabilia sold on the mezzanine levels. Then the douche announcers will chuckle knowingly and bring up santa clause, and booing mcnabb and every other bit of hackneyed bullshtein that their pathetic junior interns in the research department drop in their lap like so many grease drippings from one wid everyting.

Sorry - product tasting at work this afternoon...

Another major problem is the protection schemes or lack thereof Reid dials up.  You almost never see Max Pro out there.  On top of that you never see hot routes he can dump to when the blitz is in his face. 

Pressure is almost always coming at him from the sorst possible place: right up the middle.

Can't do max-pro too much because that lessens the amount of receiving options. These WRs can't get open when 5 of them run routes against 4 DBs...no way 2 WRs can get open against 4 DBs.

Sarge,

Hunt whiffed and that was MJG, not Andrews who he was blocking because MJG got blown up too.

In observation of the fact that the Eagles, however undeserving, defeated the Cowboys yesterday, I'm staying away from standing water.

Never liked that shtein anyway, to be honest.

[SunMo]

Well, Darren Sharper just ended the Eagles season

[MDS]

I'm pretty sure it ended in April when they didn't bother putting together a talented team.

it's your birthday,  we're gonna party, like it's your birthday

showtime!

per spads:

I look at a player like Tony Hunt and I think, "This kid has some real deficiencies he needs to work on." But I also think that he won't improve for next year by not playing. The Eagles can't simulate blitzes in practice. Hunt needs to stay up and learn how to pick up a blitz and how to be a complete running back at this level.

more hunt please.

Well... he was in on that play because Westbrook had just limped off the field, Buck was already out with a concussion, and Mahe was in the locker room getting splinters out of his vadge.

[Magical_Retard]

why must hunt only be used to pick up blitzes. bring him in and let him carry the ball around 5 times a game.

and now with the eagles finally being mathematically out let him run 15 times a game while ordering every eagles cheerleader to do lap dances for bwest on the bench.

wow did he ever...i cant get over how bad him and justice look...remember the parade everyone wanted to have after that draft because justice and mjg were first round talents that the eagles stole
