it's amazing to me that 30+ years can go by in the nfl and this hasn't happened yet.

The Akers family has some pull.  I have a buddy that lives in Lexington, they're quite a few birds fans out there, they take up a section of the bar they go to, and the Akers'esses hang with them.

Cool...I get the game....but I'm sure I'm not going to be able to watch it this week...sucks to be Pacific Islander in white America.

Lions dropped 27 on this Defense.... Kolb+Eagle's 1st team > Lions (period...) Close game 34-27 EAGLES!

Actually, they only dropped 20 on us.  The last TD was a result of an offensive fumble being returned immediately for a TD.  I'd chalk that up to a week 1 mistake (and a great play by the Lion that recovered it).  Also, our offense and special teams gave the Lions the ball inside the Saints 20 three times due to bad kick coverage twice and a fumble once (we held those 3 attempts to 10 points).  Finally, another TD came after our starting corner Greer took a hard hit and had to sit out for a play or two.  Stafford immediately took advantage of the rookie replacing him and went to Johnson for 60+ yards and a TD (I'll spare you the drama of terrible officiating).  The Lions only had one honest scoring drive and it ended in a FG.

In truth, the defense played very well, although it was admittedly against the Lions.  If the Eagles don't get several turnovers or injure that starting corner, you may find the Saint's D is a lot stingier than those 27 points make them look.

nice!

and the only reason the saints defense will be "stingy" is because kevin cobb eats taint...giving up 10 pts to him would be worse than 20howeveryouwannaspinit pts to detroit

a healthy mcnabb puts up minimum 24 on them

[hbionic]

A healthy McNabb also has sticky ribs.

[davidstvz]

Yeah, I'm sorry we can't have an honest game with McNabb playing.  Of course, we'll take all the W's we can get.

[hbionic]

Assuming that this is an automatic win is what turns what should be W's into L's.
