Eagles vs Falcons - Comments/Predictions

[WEST is GOD]

I am going to be furious if the Eagles don't completely blow them out. There is no excuse not to. Sure I'll love the win, even if it's close, but I want to roll right over teams this year. I want the Eagles to set a statement tonight. I think they will.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Then, they'll put big-play Ike in.

He's their "secret weapon" you know...

I wasn't kidding, actually.  Ike does tend to make big plays on defense.  If he goes in there, I bet the Eagles might run as much as 35-40% of the time (that's a lot).

falcs have good linebackers.  lots of speed back there.  spach, parry, and fraley need to get on those guys to allow westbrook and co to have a chance to cut it outside.

Hartwell & Brooking are good. But if I'm Reid & Childress I pick on Demorrio Williams with LJ Smith about 10 times tonight.

demorrio is fast but young and inexperienced.  lj can wreck the safetys but demorrio can at least run with him.  i would use lj alot tonight.

is ike playing wil or sam there?  he makes plays but hes grossly undersized at sam.

I got you but what I mean is that the folks down here portray him as a LB every bit as talented as Hartwell.  He actually may have an Edge on Hartwell because he's gonna tell Mora all about the Eagles' defensive playbook.

Cowboys bandwagoners are back out in full force. Just look no further than all of the Aikman jersey's they showed yesterday.

I lived in Texas during their run in the 90's. By 1997 there was none of them around excepot for the diehards and you rarely saw them even then. And after they lost to the Cards and Plunger in 1998 they were gone for good.

They've unpacked the jersey's from the mothballs this year.

Yup. Theres a kid a few doors down from me who claimed to live his first few years in Texas, so thats why he's a Cowboys fans. I called him a cockroach and a bandwagoner, but he once again claimed to be a diehard football fan that watches every Cowboy game. Well, throughout the afternoon he poked his head in and out of room a few times to see what was up, and maybe 3 times during the Cowboys game. He didn't even watch it, then when I told him that they won, he ran around celebrating like he gave a crap. I hate that fanbase so much.

I knew a few people who are Cowboys fans too. They all share a house. I called them up after LT scored that TD early on and my one friend picked up and he was sleeping. He forgot the game was on. Real fans, right?

3 hours until kickoff, because kickoff is actually closer to 9:08.

Then, another 4 minutes until the 1st play from scrimmage.

Sal Pal uses Trotter and Dawkins as the players supporting McNabb ONLY, yet not talking about how the 2 of them are also close with TO. Sal Pal is such a farging tool.

and now showing the sideline thing from the Steelers game last year.

Can't these guys come up with something different?

[StevieLeftCollege]

no.  its old.

Hey hbionic...watch out...you might miss the game

Ike is the back-up SAM. But like here, I believe they'd use him at all 3 spots. I still miss Ike.

Demorrio is young & fast and that is exactly why I would look to exploit him. He's starting for the first time and his coverage skills are questionable. He can be used and abused if they look at LJ often, IMO.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Speaking of Ike...

Barkann said on DNL that they had requested Ike live and he said yes. But Jim Mora said absolutely not.

DGunn said that Mora seems to be tiring of Ike talking about Philly all the time.

Good job, Ike! Piss off Mora...make him cut you and you can come back here.

I could make an Ike Reese "I've made a huge mistake" reference...but nobody would know what I was talking about.

Okay, I'll shut up now. Go Eagles.
