I don't know if I'm ready for another season with this team. Still, I do have some expectations with a brand new (supposedly great) OL. We have a decent back if B-West gets hurt (which is more than likely). A younger Defense should help them, even with the loss of Dawk. Fuck it, they have pulled me back in again.

[Philly loser]

CSN Philly doing a special now

this is a sad show to watch by the way

[Kugzilla]

Will they put that on the website Maz?

[Philly loser]

Instead of whining about the press breaking the news before

According to Rotoworld

Eagles LE Juqua Parker was arrested early Wednesday morning for possession of marijuana.

Parker, who allegedly had a "small amount of marijuana," was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for a traffic violation. The Eagles' starting left end could be facing a one-game suspension if convicted.

BB - You're Andy post RULES

20 PLPs ... oh wait... sorry, nevermind

Anyway, brilliant post


The Bradley thing sucks


On the positive side, I read in camp notes on philly.com

that no one in camp can cover DeSean one-on-one

I'm hoping that means he is having a great camp and not that Asante sucks

I think DeSean will have a big year

He wants to prove he's worth more than the rookie

(focusing on the positive because the defense and o-line worry me)

A Boo!!!

Jackson just hyper extended his knee. He seems to be fine though. Thank God, because an injury to him would be detrimental to the team's season.

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/Ingram_suffers_torn_ACL.html

DeSean Jackson hyperextended his right knee when he got tangled up with cornerback Asante Samuel during the morning workout. The wide receiver immediately went to a tent to receive treatment and was eventually carted off the field.

He told reporters after practice that he was fine. The team didn't give a prognosis on when Jackson would return.

"I'm all right," Jackson said, offering a thumbs up. "No problems."

Reid also said he thought Jackson would be fine following the afternoon practice.

"He's all right," the coach said. "They just banged knees."

Jackson has had a phenomenal camp, but today's setback could limit his preparation for Thursday's preseason opener against the New England Patriots. He did not take part in the special teams practice.

[Philly loser]

Ingram suffers torn ACL (http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Ingram_suffers_torn_ACL.html)
http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/06Bb5px7Sd3OO/261x.jpgBETHLEHEM, Pa. -- For the second straight year, tight end Cornelius Ingram's season is over before it started.
The Eagles' fifth-round pick from the University of Florida suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a goal-line drill Tuesday. The extent of the injury was revealed during an MRI examination this morning.
It is the same knee and the same injury that cost Ingram his final season at the University of Florida last year at almost the exact same time.
"It was in a goal-line drill," coach Andy Reid said. "He just hyperextended it and it popped on him. Obviouslsy it's a shame for the kid. He's a great kid and he's worked hard. He was doing some good things."
Earlier in the day, Ingram said he couldn't talk about the injury and that "he hoped to be back for the afternoon practice."
Down to just two healthy tight ends -- starter Brent Celek and undrafted rookie Eugene Bright -- the Eagles signed undrafted rookie Rob Myers this afternoon. Myers, 6-foot-4 and 243 pounds, was originally signed by the New York Jets after the draft but released in late May. After catching 21 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns as a junior, he missed his entire senior season with a turf toe injury. To make room on the roster, the Eagles released punter Ken Parrish.
Ingram is the second Eagles player in less than a week to suffer a season-ending torn ACL. Middle linebacker Stewart Bradley tore his right ACL during Sunday's practice at Lincoln Financial Field.
Jackson appears fine
DeSean Jackson hyperextended his right knee when he got tangled up with cornerback Asante Samuel during the morning workout. The wide receiver immediately went to a tent to receive treatment and was eventually carted off the field.
He told reporters after practice that he was fine. The team didn't give a prognosis on when Jackson would return.
"I'm all right," Jackson said, offering a thumbs up. "No problems."
Reid also said he thought Jackson would be fine following the afternoon practice.
"He's all right," the coach said. "They just banged knees."
Jackson has had a phenomenal camp, but today's setback could limit his preparation for Thursday's preseason opener against the New England Patriots. He did not take part in the special teams practice.
In other injury news, guard Stacy Andrews (knee) and tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) were back in full pads. They did not partake in live hitting, however. Andrews took a day of rest on Thursday. Peters had been working out with the training staff.
Running back Brian Westbrook (ankle), defensive end Victor Abiamiri (pectoral muscle) and defensive tackle Trevor Laws (hamstring) continued to rehab with the team's trainers. Shawn Andrews (back) remained out.

[Kugzilla]

Kolb hurt himself too. From Philly.com:

Monday, August 10, 2009
Kolb has MCL sprain; Cole AC shoulder sprain
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Backup Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb has an MCL sprain in his left knee and will miss Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots. Defensive end Trent Cole has an AC shoulder sprain and will also sit out the game. Both players will then be listed as day-to-day.

To read about what happened to the two Eagles today at training camp, click here.

Also, according to a team source, wide receiver Brandon Robinson was cut from the team just after the afternoon special teams practice here at training camp. The move was likely made to make room for a new quarterback. The team will probably bring in a camp body (paging Adam DiMichele ...) until Kolb returns.

Those calls for Michael Vick and Brett Farve were a tad presumptuous, although understandable considering the injury plague that has swept through Eagles camp.

UPDATE: That didn't take long. Apparently, the Eagles have signed a new quarterback -- Arena League QB Matt Nagy.

we would have seen any of the starters.

[Ballbuster1]

Most of the O line that should start isn't there. What they have here stinks.

"Best roster in the NFL", yeah right. Banner is an idiot.

It's preseason so it's not a big deal in that respect, but it shows that there's
a lack of really good depth in this team.

Vick signs with the Eagles.

I am without words....We get stuck with the most over rated piece of shit white guilted Quarterback of all time for 10 years.... and as an extra special treat... The Eagles sign Vick, Hell Bring Iverson back mayby we can get someone shot up in here.

I think I'm going to be sick...

[Glenn Dandy]

ANTS ON HANITY, FOX channel282 in south jersey. 9 pm.

[Kugzilla]

I"m suprised by the signing, but I don't think it's a huge deal. He's a backup and occasionally will be give a special play or two.

Anything interesting from the game? It doesn't air here for another hour yet.

[Bud8Weiser]

Maybe they can teach Vick to kick field goals.

[mikeybot]

If he's in good shape and not playing QB, it could potentially be a defensive headache, if you have him, West, DeSean and Macklin out at once.

Side note, Glenn, LOVE the Ogie sig pic :D

[Aizazzle]

I think part of the signing has to do with the fact that the Eagles wanted some headlines for themselves. Lately, the Philies have been getting a lot more coverage. That has to piss off Lurie and Banner so they decided to make a controversial decision (Don't get me wrong, it helps the team too) which was guaranteed to make headlines.

[Aizazzle]

I Tivo'd it. Is there anything worth watching?

Other than Pey Pey slicing our defense up like a turkey on Thanksgiving Night? There is just something with the elder Manning. He always has the number of the Eagles. Maybe, it's because he thrives on the blitz and the Eagles defense lives on it. Still, that is no excuse for blown assignments (I'm looking at you Ellis Hobbs).

Things on the offensive side were pretty depressing too. They better get those probable starting O-Linemen healthy, because the Line today fucking blew. They could barely push people off the line for runs, and the pass protection wasn't adequate either.

[Wilmington WOW]

wow, you are a dumb ass in multiple wackbag sections




going to the game Thursday night
should be an interesting response from the fans
I predict a mixed crowd, vocal proponents on both sides with Vick jerseys and some dog killing signs.


I still think he is an unnecessary distraction.
He was never a top level QB.

I'm surprised no one in here is getting their Michael Phelps on.

anyway, he's an ass

but I wish he'd play

Westbrook won't play til it counts and I'm ok with that.

[Philly loser]

I am not a fan of Vick

but seriously?

these are the plays we've designed for him

2-inch shuttle

and a little rollout

all the while having your 11.5 MILLION dollar QB lined up at WR?

Stupid fucking hack bullshit

[Philly loser]

Nice play Donovan

[Ballbuster1]

And so goes the Vick debut. Nothing big.

I'll be watching the Phils more since that game counts.

Gotta admit though. Vick doesn't look bad for spending 2 years away from the game.

You guys do realize that this is just a pre season game, right? Jesus, calm down. The whole point of these games is to work on a few things with in a given situation. If the game really mattered I'm sure they would do things differently.

[Glenn Dandy]

Is it me or does Kolb kinda stink?

Its you stooopid... He just won the game.


He should start.

We were losing this whole game,,, they put him in 4th quarter... the line sucked and basket drops a ball on his numbers... yet, Kolb wins the game.

yeah, he blows.:huh:

Yaknow who Sucks? McNabb......If you disagree, Why havnt we won in 9 years?.... fucking over rated pieces of shit McNabb and Vick.

The last great chance the EAgles had was when Feely took them to the playoffs ... so ol vomitman could blow that game too.

[Sinn Fein]

Just got home from the game a little while ago. The various Vick protesters/supporters provided both pregame and postgame entertainment.

This was the highlight of the night...

[Glenn Dandy]

good lord.....The bleeks will support anyone black wont they.

I hated that on the news after the game... It was all about VIck... the guy touched the ball 4 times... all about him n Mc Dick... I swear if you just saw the news and not the game you woulda THUNK... them two were the stars of the game.


Um hello? How about the two white guys that won the fucking game? Kolb & Akers.

Not one mention or clip... Just amazing.

[MilkmanDan]

WR Cut coming down to Reggie Brown or Hank Baskett. Beginning of preseason I would've gone the other way but I think you cut Hank Baskett. He can go Kendra it up, Reggie Brown has made a few catches for significant yards, and not dropping balls in the endzone that're hitting him in the hands.

[maz]

HA-HA

If Baskett gets cut

How long till that whore leaves him

Personally I like Baskett more than Brown though

[Glenn Dandy]

Basket dropped some dooozys.

[Kugzilla]

I think they will keep them both somehow.

[MilkmanDan]

I think they will keep them both somehow.

That guy they picked in the 6th round (?) looks better. Even in the end game on a short pass from Kevin Kolb he caught a ridiculously hard pass and dragged his feet to stay in bounds. Every preseason game hes looked good. If I could remember his name it'd help.

yeah, I saw that play-Brandon Gibson I think his name is. Kid had some poise.

[Philly loser]

Philadelphia Inquirer thinks Baskett makes it and the final spot is between Brown and Gibson. I agree with MmD and Kugz. I think Gibson should be a shoo-in and the final spot between Baskett and Brown. I think Brown's career has been a disappointment.

Wide receiver. DeSean Jackson, Kevin Curtis, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant, and Hank Baskett will make the team, leaving veteran Reggie Brown and rookie Brandon Gibson to battle for the final spot. The guess here is that Gibson wins that battle and Brown is traded to Baltimore, the New York Jets, or Dallas.

I can see a trade. Reggie has more trade value then Baskett. They still think Baskett can do those specialty plays, either of them will be picked up by another team. Which is insane to say thinking about Donovans WR's his first season. I think in a different system, Reggie Brown can do more with another team then he did with the Eagles, but dropping a #1 pick (#2?) is hard. Baskett wasnt even drafted, and if you cant catch a floater in the end zone, your thinking about big fake white tits too much.

edit - I love the evolution of Jason Avant.

[Philly loser]

I'm an Avant fan

good hands, decent size, seems fearless

not going to the pro bowl or anything but he's a very solid #4

[Philly loser]

Does pre-season ever fucking end?

About 10 more days

Can't wait for football that matters

I usually skip exhibition game #4
but I, a self-professed vick hater, may get drawn into the intrigue

of seeing the Philadelphia Phelon as a QB instead of a side show

I was never impressed with him as a QB

Phenomenal athlete, mediocre QB in my humble opinion

but, against 3rd and 4th string defenses

he should do fine tomorrow

Donovan beat Vick twice in the playoffs if you remember. Like they said, they're showing us nothing of what the 2 of them will do in regular season in the preseason. Its about getting his feet wet (hopefully in dog shit).

Preseason doesnt end until half the team is hurt and Shawn Andrews goes insane or makes 10 rap videos

Why doesn't Goodell just take his cock out so we can all see whose it bigger

[maz]

Who the hell knows ?

[Absolutely]

Who the hell knows ?

Either way, Kansas City will be a nice game to come back to.

[maz]

Yeah, I heard them say Kansas City

Don't know if it's Home or Away

Not that it matters much

[maz]

TD pass , Jets

7-7

[maz]

Kolb's gettin' Killed

2 sacks in a row

[maz]

1 yard plunge for Vick

14-7

[maz]

Kolb TD pass

To #83

Whoever he is

[Glenn Dandy]

Kolb should start... enough with the Swoogie QB's.

[MilkmanDan]

Its time to bring Jon Runyan back. That offensive line is scaring me. It went from being called the best line in football by NFL.com and ESPN to just .... wow. Why is Winston Justice still on the team?
That Kick Returner / WR they have impressed me (#11, forget his name) , Gibson had another good game at WR.
Linebackers are scaring me too, losing Bradley is really hurting them. I realize last night was all 2nd and 3rd string guys but you see how low their depth is at Linebacker and Safety.

Hoping for Jason Babin to get a spot, he's a playmaker at DE.
Christ they've got Reggie brown listed as Jacksons backup.
Here's the depth chart.

My previous prediction of 12 - 4 is now 10 - 6 and thats being generous.

A.J. Feeley released

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Feeley_released.html

Feeley released; claim DT off waivers
The Eagles released quarterback A.J. Feeley to make room for a defensive tackle they claimed off waivers, a team source told The Inquirer today.

The team signed Antonio Dixon, a 6-foot-3, 322-pounder let go by the Redskins yesterday. Dixon was an undrafted free agent out of Miami, where he wasn't a full-time starter.

The Eagles kept Feeley on their roster as of final cuts last night at 6 p.m. But it was expected that the team did so because they hoped to trade the 32-year-old backup. Apparently, a deal could not be struck so the Eagles parted ways with Feeley, who had two stints in Philadelphia.

Feeley, as a vested veteran, doesn't have to pass through waivers. He can sign with any team of his choosing. The Patriots look like a certain fit. New England only has only two quarterbacks at the moment -- Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer, a rookie out of Michigan State.

Michael Vick, meanwhile, will remain on the commissioner's special exempt list, although that could change at any moment.

Back with more.

[DocSavage]

Over under is 42 in LV and the Iggles are -1 favorites against Carolina this Sunday.

I say they win by ten and bet the under. :action-sm

[Aizazzle]

Gentlemen, meet you new starting safety for the Philadelphia Eagles.

http://cdn1.sbnation.com/photo_images/50507/45327_Eagles_Camp_Football.jpg

That's right, Victor "Macho" Harris has beaten out Quentin Demps for the starting Free Safety job.

[DocSavage]

I still think you will still see a rotation of some kind.

[Philly loser]

bigkid73 is a dick

[CringeRadioWanted]

I keep hearing that this team is a Super Bowl contender. I don't see it, without a semi-coherent offensive line. This first game might bring back bad memories of the 12-sack debacle against the Giants a couple years ago. McNabb had best be running for his life.

Very true, when Winston Justice is one of your starting O-Linemen, you are not exactly giving me a lot of confidence. I think Peppers might wreck havoc within the the Eagles backfield today unless the Eagles run the ball the majority of times, which is not something I think Andy will do even when it is logical.

Nevertheless, I'm awake and all psyched up for the Birds to start their season.

[Philly loser]

Did I miss anything on Runyan? I haven't seen an update. Yes, I know he is old in NFL terms and recovering from an injury, but I would take him with one leg over Winston Justice. I have zero faith that Pyscho Big Kid Shawn EDID Andrews will be worth shit this year.

I am very anxious to see them in a real game, but nothing in pre-season gave me much hope. This offense should score points, as long as the QB has some time... uh oh.

On the other side, I am not a Gaither fan, but hopefully he is serviceable. The Bradley loss really hurts. I was even less a fan of Demps, so I hope Macho can play.

Regardless, 3 hours and 42 minutes until this shit counts!

Let's go Birds!

Yeah, maybe letting Feeley go wasn't such a good idea. The way this O line looks, they'll need 6 QB's on the roster, since they'll probably be driven to the turf every other play.



Nevertheless, I'm awake and all psyched up for the Birds to start their season.

Me too, watching NFL network now. Getting my jones started early today.

[Bud8Weiser]

Ok defense. Time to make a stand and show you're not as bad as everyone thinks. Don't let them in on 4th down.

[Bud8Weiser]

Ugh. They got the first.

[Philly loser]

Goddammit!!!

Nice hands Curtis and Celek

What's the fucking cost per false start for Peters?

UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!



FG by Akers... on the board

[Bud8Weiser]

Now thats a nice way to score a quick 7

[Bud8Weiser]

I really wish Trent had picked it up after he knocked it out. Really would have been huge for my fantasy team.

[Philly loser]

Desean motherfucking jackson fucking rules!!!!!!!

[Bud8Weiser]

DeSean Muthafuckin Jackson!!! Returns the punt for the TD!!

[Bud8Weiser]

Desean motherfucking jackson fucking rules!!!!!!!

Haha. Nice.

[Bud8Weiser]

They're not even giving this juggernaut of an offense a chance to prove themselves. LOL.

[Bud8Weiser]

PICK!!! Sheldon Browns second. Ball at the 10. Nice of the defense to let the offense have a shot at it. Haha.

[Philly loser]

Sheldon Brown with a HUGE start to the season

Defense has definitely stepped up


And now the offense actually takes the field

and a short field

[Bud8Weiser]

TD Brent Celek from D-Mac. Then they have to go and do something stupid.

[Philly loser]

And the dumbass side of DeSean comes out

[Philly loser]

Defense has REALLY turned it up after that first drive

nice

[Bud8Weiser]

And the dumbass side of DeSean comes out

He's still a young punk. Hopefully the vets will get on him about that shit.

[Philly loser]

B West is looking good on this drive

[Philly loser]

He's still a young punk. Hopefully the vets will get on him about that shit.
Yeah Bud

He's sick talented, but an idiot

[Philly loser]

Throw the flag

clearly down

[Bud8Weiser]

Beautiful play. Nice push by B-West to get in too.

[Philly loser]

This game got so much better after Carolina's first drive

Fun game since then

[Bud8Weiser]

This game got so much better after Carolina's first drive

Fun game since then

I was a bit worried. Looked like it was gonna be a long day after that first drive. Turns out it is a long day. For the Panthers.

But there is still a whole second half to play and the Eagles have a habit of laying down in the second half. They need to keep the throttle down.

[Philly loser]

Throttle isn't down at the moment

I am happy to see that the Eagles are getting pressure on the QB today

that was really missing last year

[Bud8Weiser]

Be nice to see them hold them to a FG at most.

[Bud8Weiser]

Great play by Gocong.

[Philly loser]

Agreed

great play by Gocong and they do hold them to a FG



Hobbs with a poor return, but they are playing well right now


so far?

19 offensive plays

31 points

[Philly loser]

McNabb doesn't have big numbers

but I think he's played well today

Nice run right there

got out of bounds

[Bud8Weiser]

They're giving McNabb good time.

And Jesus Christ Andy Reid looks like he's getting fatter during the game.

[Bud8Weiser]

It must be from past years but everytime someone tackles B-West I cringe.

[Philly loser]

They're giving McNabb good time.

And Jesus Christ Andy Reid looks like he's getting fatter during the game.

Checking out Buddy's boy during halftime

I need a stream for this game - stupid local tv showing the Vikings-Browns even though NEITHER has anything to do with western NY

[Bud8Weiser]

And they take it right back.

[Philly loser]

Defense is playing really well

REALLY WELL

[Bud8Weiser]

Defense is playing really well

REALLY WELL

Agreed. I don't know if Carolina (Delhomme) is that bad or if all the worry about the Eagles D was unwarranted.

[Philly loser]

Son

of

bitch

[Bud8Weiser]

Thats not good.

[Bud8Weiser]

Maybe the Commish would be nice enough to let Vick back early.

[Bud8Weiser]

It never fuckin fails. When will we learn

[Bud8Weiser]

Oh thank god. Maybe its just cramps or something do to the heat.

[Philly loser]

Okay

think his back is hurting from the hit on his TD run

walked off the field

let his day be done

let Kolb come in and hand off to McCoy and Buckley the rest of the game

Yes

get Westbrook out the rest of the day too

[Bud8Weiser]

Delhomme is just that bad.

[Bud8Weiser]

Okay

think his back is hurting from the hit on his TD run

walked off the field

let Kolb come in and hand off to McCoy and Buckley the rest of the game

Yes

get Westbrook out the rest of the day too

Boy did you call that. I like this plan.

[Bud8Weiser]

Smart play by Jackson to bat that out instead of keep trying to pick it up.

[jpc165]

FUCK YOU FOX and your shitty ass AUDIO issues today! DIE! cunts
its the fist game of the season Get your shit together assholes

[Bud8Weiser]

I hate that not on the line of scrimmage bullshit. If they want to have 1 guy on the line thats up to them.

[Philly loser]

I need a stream for this game - stupid local tv showing the Vikings-Browns even though NEITHER has anything to do with western NY

[jpc165]

Delhomo is garbage! hahaha

that fucking douche cant handle any pressure whatsover.

captain interception overhere

[Bud8Weiser]

How was that being hit immediately? Is Stockton watching the same game?

[Philly loser]

I like Shady



I would feel better getting some update on Donovan

hoping it's just a bruise or spasms

nothing as serious as Shawn Dickhead Andrews



Oh shit - Delhomme benched!

[BullsLawDan]

http://www.atdhe.net/7812/watch-philadelphia-eagles-vs-carolina-panthers

Got it thanks.


Also, anyone who thinks the Eagles should go with Kolb over #5 is a fucking moron. To take a guy who hasn't won dick over a guy who has almost got them there numerous times is just stupid. I think the Eagles are doing the right thing trying to build some supporting cast here for a good run in maybe the next two years, then maybe Kolb will be ready.

If you're trying to get to 100, do you go there with the guy that starts at 95 or the guy that starts at 0?

[Philly loser]

injured ribs?

Hmm...

I don't like that

[Bud8Weiser]

McNabb is a hurtin

[Bud8Weiser]

Reputitions?

[Bud8Weiser]

I knew that hit didn't look good.

[Philly loser]

McCown just got the Brady injury

sorry about that Carolina

[Bud8Weiser]

McCown just got the Brady injury

sorry about that Carolina

They said thats what it was?

[Philly loser]

no Bud

That was just me being an ass

I don't know what his condition is

[armymad]

ok so when is the vick clock going to start the countdown

[Philly loser]

This is for GD when he stops to rag on 5 later

Kolb blows

that was a horrible throw to Jackson

[Bud8Weiser]

no Bud

That was just me being an ass

I don't know what his condition is

Gotcha. :D

[Philly loser]

Damn the Panthers really suck

[Bud8Weiser]

Eagles ball!! 7 turnovers today for Carolina. Thats rough.

[Philly loser]

obviously not an easy place to play

shut the fuck up

I fucking hate the Philly bashing shit in the national media

[Philly loser]

If Donovan can't go next week

this dickhead better learn to play

[Philly loser]

hell of a grab by Muhammad





but

if you let him score

the terrorists win

[Philly loser]

5 sacks
5 interceptions
2 forced fumbles

Not a bad day for the Birds

McDermott should be happy with his debut as coordinator

[Philly loser]

DEFENSE HOLDS

good game boys

[Philly loser]

fuccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

believed to be cracked ribs

out 2-4 weeks for McNabb

[jpc165]

nice way to start off the season minus the mcnabb injury.

i wish vick could play next week, cause we are fucked with kolb. he fucking stinks.

[Philly loser]

Kolb week 2

Thug asswipe week 3

bye week 4

Donovan back week 5

[BullsLawDan]

Kolb week 2

Thug asswipe week 3

bye week 4

Donovan back week 5

Yeah it's really not bad at all.

Saints would be a tough game so that one could be a write-off.

Chiefs are terrible.

Bye week. They could easily be 2-1 or even 3-0 at the bye and then McNabb comes back.

Might even be better... why waste the McNabb-Vick full flavor opener against the lowly Chiefs? Better to save it for the Bucs and Redskins the week after.

[Philly loser]

Andy says he has a broken rib

they'll take it day to day

he won't rule out Donovan playing next week

then he cleared his throat

gave a sneer to the reporters

and had a general pompous attitude

[Philly loser]

Macho Harris is the first rookie safety to start for the Eagles Week 1 since Wes Hopkins on Sept. 3, 1983 at San Francisco.

The last rookie safety to start the opener before Hopkins was Randy Logan on Sept. 16, 1973 vs. St. Louis.

Harris is the first rookie defensive player to start for the Eagles since Sept. 3, 2000, when defensive tackle Corey Simon opened the season against Dallas.

Sheldon Brown had as many interceptions in the first half (two) as in his previous 30 games. It’s his first month with two picks since December 2005, when he had interceptions against the Cardinals and Giants.

DeSean Jackson’s 85-yard punt return for a touchdown is the second longest in team history. Vai Sikahema had an 87-yarder against the Giants on Nov. 22, 1992.

Victor Abiamiri’s interception not only was the first of his career but also the first of his life. Abiamiri said he didn’t have a pick in pee-wee football, high school or college.

The Eagles scored a touchdown on offense, defense and special teams for the first time since Dec. 24, 1994 at Cincinnati.

The seven takeaways are the Eagles' most since the 1999 season, when they ended the regular season with seven on Jan. 2, 2000 against St. Louis. The five picks are their most since Sept. 30, 1996, when they had five against Dallas.

The team record is 12 (at Pittsburgh in 1965 and at Cardinals in 1950). The Eagles forced eight on Oct. 15, 1989 against St. Louis.

McNabb doubtful for Sunday

CHARLOTTE -- Donovan McNabb fractured his rib in the Eagles' otherwise celebratory 38-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers today. Head coach Andy Reid didn't give a prognosis on whether McNabb would miss any time, although a team source said that the Eagles quarterback was "doubtful" for next Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Asked if it was safe to say that McNabb was out for next week, Reid said, "No, that's not safe to say."

McNabb apparently suffered his injury when he was tackled while plunging into the end zone on a three-yard touchdown run. He laid on the ground for a while, finally arose and walked off without assistance. He soon left the field to get examined. McNabb returned in his pads, but did not return to the game.

Reid said that McNabb was out there in case of emergency. Kevin Kolb replaced McNabb, but the Eagles didn't have another quarterback dressed.

"That's why he was out there," Reid said. "I probably would have done everything not to do that. That's why we took his pads off there at the end."

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson confirmed that he was the emergency quarterback if Kolb got hurt, too. Jackson took a few direct snaps in the Wildcat formation today.

Reid said he was confident that Kolb, if need be, would step in and do the the job.

"If it comes to that," Reid said.

Michael Vick will be serving the second game of his two-game suspension next week. He will be reinstated by Week 3. Kolb was ineffective filling for McNabb. He completed 7 of 11 passes for just 23 yards. He was also sacked twice.

The Eagles cut quarterback A.J. Feeley last week. He has not caught on with another team as of yet.

Eagles-Panthers report card

Here is our report card from today's Eagles-Panthers game:

RUSH OFFENSE: Brian Westbrook, who didn’t play a down in the preseason following ankle surgery, rushed for 64 yards, including 45 on seven carries in the first half. DeSean Jackson rushed for 33 yards, 25 of it on an end-around and the other 8 out of the Wildcat. Grade: A-minus

PASS OFFENSE: Donovan McNabb averaged just 4.4 yards per attempt before he got hurt, but collected a pair of TD passes. He misfired on an early-third-quarter interception when he failed to get a pass to a wide-open Kevin Curtis over the head of middle linebacker Jon Beason. Grade: C-minus

RUN DEFENSE: The Panthers rushed for 55 yards on 10 carries on their first possession, including an 11-yard cutback run by DeAngelo Williams for a touchdown. But the Eagles shut the door after that, holding Carolina to 31 rushing yards on 20 attempts the rest of the game. Grade: A

PASS DEFENSE: The Eagles’ aggressive pass rush terrorized three Carolina QBs, notched five sacks and helping force five interceptions. They chased starter Jake Delhomme midway through the third quarter after a dreadful 7-for-17, four-interception effort. Grade: A-plus

SPECIAL TEAMS: DeSean Jackson had an 85-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter that gave the Eagles a 17-7 lead. David Akers had a 51-yard field goal attempt blocked and sent a late-second quarter kickoff out of bounds, and the punt-coverage unit gave up a 26-yard return. Grade: B-minus

OVERALL: The offense finished with just 267 yards and converted only five of 13 third-down opportunities. But the defense came up big, forcing seven turnovers in Sean McDermott’s debut as defensive coordinator. Grade: B-minus

Curious to see if this happens

You never know

[Kugzilla]

Unless the Pat's sign him first, expect to see AJ Feely back on tuesday.

And, I'd start him over Kolb over what I've seen to date...

[mikeybot]

Andy says he has a broken rib

they'll take it day to day

he won't rule out Donovan playing next week

then he cleared his throat

So a pretty typical conference by Andy

[Aizazzle]

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/10070408/Source:-Eagles-add-former-backup-QB-Garcia

The Eagles moved quickly Monday in securing a safety net at quarterback.

One day after starter Donovan McNabb suffered a broken rib during Philadelphia's season-opening win against the Carolina Panthers, the Eagles have agreed to terms with veteran QB Jeff Garcia, FOXSports.com has learned.

The Eagles honed in on Garcia quickly because he is familiar with the team and coach Andy Reid's offense. Garcia previously filled for an injured McNabb down the stretch during the 2006 season, going 5-1 as a starter in the final six games to rally the Eagles to the NFC East title. The Eagles eventually lost in the NFC divisional round, falling to Philadelphia's opponent this week, Drew Brees and the Saints.

Garcia was available after being a surprising late roster cut by the Oakland Raiders the week before the NFL's opening weekend. The 39-year-old Garcia had signed a free-agent deal with Oakland in early April after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers chose not to re-sign him this offseason.

Garcia has played 10 seasons in the NFL, reaching the Pro Bowl four times and throwing for 25,537 yards, 161 TD passes and 83 interceptions.


Jeff Garcia returns!!! Hopefully, we will have have better results than the last time he played the Saints.

Yes, I'm still bitter over that playoff loss in New Orleans.

[Bud8Weiser]

I do believe thats a better alternative then Kolb. Even when Vick is eligible, he still won't be ready. Hopefully Garcia will be able to just run the offense enough to get by until D-Mac gets back.

[Ballbuster1]

Kolb has done nothing to impress me.

I guess Garcia was the best pick of the moment.

I feel better with him than AJ. Time will tell I guess.

[Kugzilla]

Garcia will be fine.

[flyerfan116]

Saw ths coming a mile away, Kolb is a bust. He had tons of time to show what he can do with no pressure whatsoever and couldn''t even get them in fieldgoal range. I figured it would be Garcia or Feeley, needed a vet who knows the system. Garcia fits in perfectly. I seriously doubt Vick will be in game shape, so give the ball to Garcia, keep Kolb at #2 and Vick at #3 until McNabb is 100% then dump 1 of them.

[Philly loser]

Kolb will need to have a huge day to keep the fans from calling for Garcia

If Garcia comes into the game, how do they keep Kolb around?

If he has to get pulled, is that the final admission that he is a bust?

Garcia has only worn #5 and #7 in his career. Neither is available now. Not sure why I care about that, but I did check the Eagles website to see what his number would be. The depth chart isn't updated yet.

[DocSavage]

The big question is this. If Kolb plays against NO and sucks ass...will Andy and company have the balls to actually pull the plug on this 2nd round bust. We have very little wiggle room on our roster as it is.

[DocSavage]

File this under "No fucking Heart for the Game!" :mad4:


So much for waiting around to see when Shawn Andrews is healthy enough to play. The Eagles placed Andrews on Injured Reserve, ending his 2009 season. It also likely raises question marks about Andrews and his future in the game.

Despite receiving medical clearance from back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins late in the summer, Andrews was unable to overcome back pain to get on the field in the days leading up to the opening game of the regular season in Carolina. Andrews missed the entire training camp and the preseason after tweaking his surgically-repaired back during the conditioning tests upon reporting to Lehigh University and didn't start practicing again until just before the final preseason game against the Jets.

He appeared, as of a week ago, ready to play right tackle against Carolina. But Andrews missed practice on the Thursday before the game and then was ruled out for the game on Friday. Clearly, head coach Andy Reid felt the team couldn't wait any longer for Andrews to get healthy and placed him on IR on Tuesday morning.

The Eagles needed to make room on the roster for newly-signed quarterback Jeff Garcia and Andrews was the one who went -- to IR.

Now you wonder when and if and how Andrews fits into the long-term picture here. He played just two games in 2008 before suffering a back injury in the first half of the game against Dallas. The Eagles waited all season to see if Andrews could recover in time for the playoffs, but the patience was not rewarded and Andrews ultimately had surgery.

Now, with injuries dotting the early-season roster and with a glut of decisions to be made, the Eagles decided to put Andrews on the shelf rather than cut from the current roster.

Winston Justice started at right tackle on Sunday and is now, clearly, the starting right tackle for this football team.

The Eagles on Tuesday afternoon removed quarterback Michael Vick from the Exempt List and added him to their 53-man roster and released wide receiver Hank Baskett.

I would rather have seen Reggie Brown gone then Hank. :icon_cry:

Reggie has better hands , Hank DID have that deep threat ability. He can go Kendra it up now.
I want to see more of Gibson in the games then either of the 2. Baskett 71 catches 6 tds in 3 seasons (1 catch this year) , made almost a million combined. He'll be fine. Someone will pick him up

[Kugzilla]

Andrews is a huge dissapointment. They ought to get some of his signing bonus back.

No heart.

[Aizazzle]

They have to sign Runyan immediately.

[MilkmanDan]

They have to sign Runyan immediately.

If for the sake of the people around me when I watch a game, I cannot scream bloody murder enough watching Winston Justice play another down. Please sign big Jon, 16 years or not, He's one of the most underrated lineman of all time because of his dirty play. He made that Mediocre DE on the Giants look like King Kong

[Absolutely]

Did Jeremy Maclin get in the game?
I know he's a rookie, but I thought he'd be a decent part of the Eagles. Basket and Avant over Maclin?

Not even doing kick returns?

He was in late from what I remember. Sit out training camp, always a good idea rookies. Avant did his usual "I just caught a 20 yard pass and got hammered for a 1st down" routine , he's a part of this team. Maclin seems to be running around not knowing where to go. Baskett got a 4 yard pass I think. Maclin will have to earn his way into steady play, Mccoy did, he didnt.

I know he played in the 1st Preseason game, I didn't know he got into camp that late.

[Philly loser]

Andrews is a jerkoff

Brown was saved because the Eagles screwed up and kept him too long

They're responsible for his full salary, so even though he sucks, they won't cut him

I think Baskett will end up in Carolina with A.J.

As for Avant, I'm a fan. He does nothing amazingly. But, he has good hands, will go over the middle and has some size. He has a role.

Maclin screwed up not being in camp. He'll play, but he'll be worked in. And, two or three pre-season fumbles took him out of the kick/punt returner role. And, after DeSean's punt return, even though they'd prefer not to use him there, they can't not.

Did I mention that Bigkid73, EDID, Heartless Shawn sucks ass?

Andrews is and may as we speak be getting certified into another hospital. It wont be the the first time for the 2 time pro bowler in only his first 4 years? 5 with an injury? You bring his GODDAMN brother who probably has been like "I've been dealing with this for 30 years" and his college roommate because he's that good. He doesnt like sports. He's an athlete , and alot of guys arent athletes that would die to be in that position. He's an athlete that doesnt like the game, Ricky Williams right there.

WR we had 7. Baskett was safe coming into this season, he had a horrible preseason, all the fire he had is gone. The long play to him is gone. He was undrafted and made it 3 years in the NFL. Eagles tried to trade him this morning, no takers on him or brown. Baskett has that "Red zone something" show on NFL network, and they show him in slow motion dropping a ball in the end zone.
Thats kinda the roundup of his career. He grabbed silicone though. Props

[Kugzilla]

I'd like Runyan too, but how do we fit him on the roster now?

[DocSavage]

I'd like Runyan too, but how do we fit him on the roster now?

Right now they are happy with Winston at RT ...but McGlynn is the backup :icon_eek:. Jon wants big $$$ and he wants to start. I can't see him accepting even a rotation and for that matter can't imagine the Eagles FO signing him for a large sum. Also, Jon's year last year really was NOT very good. Even before he got hurt he was giving up sacks and was NOT the same player we all recall.

Bottom line...if he can come in cheap and be willing to work behind Justice...is the only way I see this happening. Sorry fans.

Somebody picked up Baskett

Didn't hear who it was

[MilkmanDan]

Somebody picked up Baskett

Didn't hear who it was

Indy was down 2 WR's, they grabbed him.

[Philly loser]

Is everyone ready for the beginning of the Kevin Kolb era?

Could be ugly

I actually think (hope) he'll do a serviceable job

limit his mistakes, move the ball a little

and pray the defense can limit Brees

It could be a long day, but if the defense can be strong

it should be a decent game

and I was kidding about the Kolb era

I can't see him ever being the long term starter

He could prove me wrong

Let's hope he starts doing so tomorrow

[Aizazzle]

I don't think Kolb is as bad as some people make him out to be. He will be serviceable tomorrow especially against the atrocious Saints defense. However, if the game turns out to be a shootout (which is what I expect) then I don't expect him to win it for us.

What Andy needs to do is run the football and let the defense do its job. Westbrook's ankle looked fine last week. It's time to test the aforementioned ankle by putting the load of the offense on him. He should have more than 30 touches whether it's runs or those screen passes that Andy is so fond of running.

The Eagles need to get first downs so they can sustain drives and chew the clock. Brees can't hurt you from the bench, and he has an even lesser chance doing it against a defense that is rested.

[blinkdmb]

Every time Kolb has even had a chance he has been at best mediocre, and at worst, just awful. I think today is gonna be a blood bath. Do you think if he does ok hell start week 3 and use Vick as a weapon all over the field, or do you just start vick?

[Philly loser]

If you're right and Kolb is awful and it's a bloodbath, how soon do we see Garcia?


I'm gonna hold out hope that the defense plays well, and Kolb does enough to be okay. Is that enough? I don't think so. I'd love to check in around 4:00 PM being very pleasantly surprised.

Here's your chance big man...

Vick has only been out of prison for a month or so. There is no way in hell, he is in football shape let along starting QB for a team.

If Kolb is as bad as you think he will be, which is not a guarantee, I think you see Garcia step in.

[jpc165]

I can only hope garcia is in by the end of the 1st quarter..

[maz]

Are there any Non-Annoying Pre-Game shows ?

Eh

I'll put on Eagles Pregame on CSN

[Philly loser]

Inactive list

WR: Baskett released and now a Colt; Brown and Gibson inactive today
If Brown is going to be inactive every week, why not just release him and eat the salary?

Philadelphia Eagles: QB Donovan McNabb: McNabb is inactive, as expected. Kevin Kolb will start in his absence, but he has little fantasy appeal. Downgrade your Eagles WRs as well. QB Michael Vick: Jeff Garcia will be the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback. Also inactive: WR Reggie Brown, FS Quintin Demps, WR Brandon Gibson, G Todd Herremans, LB Joe Mays, G Mike McGlynn

[Philly loser]

I knew Kolb would do well today (LOL)

TD to DeSean!

[Aizazzle]

That Kolb isn't so bad after all, is he?

[Philly loser]

Kid was fired up after that toss too

I just don't want to get into a shootout with Brees

McDermott needs to find some answers



BTW: DeSean Jackson, while a complete knucklehead, RULES

[Philly loser]

Oh SHIT

Brees just got lit the fuck up!!!

[jpc165]

well lets see if he can keep it up on this drive

[Philly loser]

nothing on that drive

but no disasters either

[Glenn Dandy]

they gotta get open.


Saints sure aren't having any problem getting open... and wtf is with 5 penalty's... discipline gentleman.


Iv'e told you boobs Kolb is great, just needed a chance, Take your overpaid, over rated Vick N McBaby.

If he survives the game.. fucking line is sucking cocks.

[Kugzilla]

This has been a decent game so far.

[Glenn Dandy]

Why havn't i seen any screens to Westbrook? these runs are bulshit.

[Kugzilla]

Can't say I love the start of the 3rd quarter.

[Bud8Weiser]

Hey guys.

[Philly loser]

Down 11

Kolb has played pretty well

Defense has had no answers

[Philly loser]

Well fuck

Kolb intercepted

GREAT field position AGAIN for the Saints

If we don't get our own turnover here

this one is over

[Kugzilla]

It's only 9am here...but my body is saying it's Bul Light time...geez what a revolting turn of events.

[Bud8Weiser]

I chalked this one up as a loss the minute McNabb was listed as out. No need to get bent out of shape about it. Its only 1 and N.O. is a good team. Still a lot of game to play but it doesn't look good right now.

[Bud8Weiser]

Held them to a FG att. Thats a plus.

[Philly loser]

Fair point Bud

BETTER point Kugz! LOL


I'm not going to get too upset about this
I thought it would be a struggle
Brees is incredible and they have a very potent offense
The only thing that really concerns me
is the defense has failed to make any successful adjustments
and Brees has largely had a world of time

Oh well

The Chiefs will hopefully cure a lot of ills next week

[Glenn Dandy]

WHY? WHY? WHY... Do the EAgles continue to run WEstbrook up the middle? AFTER IT DOESN'T WORK 7 TIMES... STOP!

[Philly loser]

Is it just me or does GD seem more interested with the white QB playing?
:action-sm

[Bud8Weiser]

Is it just me or does GD seem more interested with the white QB playing?
:action-sm

Haha.

Eagles TD. Cut the lead to 14. We're still in it. :icon_lol:

[Philly loser]

We could be back in it at anyime

If we can get stops or turnovers

almost had one there

I don't like Sean Payton

and Drew Brees needs a haircut

Now get off my lawn you punks

[Kugzilla]

Lot of time left...but...

[Bud8Weiser]

Saints score. Back up by 21

[Ballbuster1]

Going about the way I expected. Kolb was bound to look better since he got to
practice all week and start instead of being thrown in cold.
I didn't see them winning this though.

[Bud8Weiser]

Wait. I missed it. Did they challenge the safety or did they get it on the next play?

[Philly loser]

Fox hole: They are treating Westbrook's ankle with some sort of vibrating contraption I've never seen before

Hmm

She sounded very interested in this vibrating contraption

[Glenn Dandy]

3 EAgles played football today... Kolb,Celic, Desean.


Everyone else should have to take a lap.

[Philly loser]

Saints gave them a safety

they didn't punt on 4th down

they had Brees run around the end zone and then flip it out the back of the endzone

[Glenn Dandy]

Is it just me or does GD seem more interested with the white QB playing?
:action-sm

yeah, put the white QB in and all the brothers quit.

I actually had hope... now I see the rest of the team only plays if a brother leads them. The EAgles are RACIST!:icon_cool


the play calling still is retarded...Over 350 yards for Kolb, without the rest of the team helping.


Im amazed a interception on Kolbs only reciever.

[Kugzilla]

Blech.

[Bud8Weiser]

3 EAgles played football today... Kolb,Celic, Desean.


Everyone else should have to take a lap.

Celek is probably hoping McNabb can't play at all for a while. He's having a huge day with his buddy Kolb at the helm.

[Bud8Weiser]

Why is the only one getting open... you gotta ask... ever hear the word
"blackball"

black power!

[Bud8Weiser]

Still got another 14 games left. Plenty of time.

[Philly loser]

someone explain that timeout to me

Did Andy take "over 2" on the Kolb INT poll?

frustrating game

Chiefs should help correct some of these issues

If the Chiefs score 40 on us, it will be a long year

Eagles worked out Trotter today:

Eagles confirm working out Trotter
The Eagles confirmed that they worked out former linebacker Jeremiah Trotter today at the NovaCare Complex. Trotter last played two seasons ago for Tampa Bay.

There was an initial report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The former Pro Bowler played for the Eagles over two stints, from 1998-2001 and from 2004-06. Trotter was cut just before the 2007 season when the team decided to go with Omar Gaither at middle linebacker. Gaither is currently in the middle after Stewart Bradley was lost for the season when he tore his ACL during training camp.

Joe Mays was given every shot to claim the job, but he failed to put his stamp on the spot and Gaither was handed the starting position. Gaither has nine tackles, a half a sack and fumble recovery through two games. Mays missed the first game with a shoulder sprain but is back practicing.

Trotter was selected to the Pro Bowl four times (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005). He has recently been a talk radio host on (610) WIP-AM.

[Ballbuster1]

Went to a party last night. One of the girls there is an Eagles cheerleader. Nice!

[Sinn Fein]

Rainy crappy day... Hard to say how it's gonna go for the Birds.

[Aizazzle]

Inactive list for the Birds, and it's a doozy.

McNabb, Curtis, Westbrook inactive, along with D. Patterson, Demps, McGlynn, Herremans and Babin.

That Patterson is not Mike, it is Dmitri Patterson.

[maz]

Hmmm , No Westbrook

Let's see who steps up

[Ballbuster1]

Well, looks like the race may be late but start ok.

At least I'll have something to watch..

[Kugzilla]

Not a bad scoring drive.

[Kugzilla]

Not a bad scoring drive.

again.

[Ballbuster1]

Looks like a different team showed up this week.

Good to see.

[JimsInfectedEye]

Sweet!!!

[Kugzilla]

Hobbs was channeling Izel "Toast" Jenkins on that Cheifs touchdown though...not good coverage at all.

And that Deseasn JAckson...he's fast.

[JimsInfectedEye]

Celek is taking quite the beating today

[Ballbuster1]

2-1 into the bye. I'll take that.

They looked way better today all the way around.

[Kugzilla]

Going to be a long two weeks until another game...but I saw a lot of decent stuff in this outing.

[BullsLawDan]

2-1 into the bye. I'll take that.

Yeah. Vick looked a little rusty today but starting to get into it. Can't wait to see what they come up with on the two weeks off.

[Ballbuster1]

I was actually surprised by what Vick did.

He looked better than he did in preseason.

He can definitely be a help to the team.

[Glenn Dandy]

hope you enjoyed it... McTerrible starts after the bye.

[Bud8Weiser]

hope you enjoyed it... McTerrible starts after the bye.

First shitty drive the fans are booing and chanting for Kolb.

[Glenn Dandy]

Reid made it clear... " McNabb's our teams QB."

9 years of nothing, WHY?

Its like they tease you with wins... then bring him back to screw it up every year.

[Kugzilla]

Gonna be a long two weeks...

[Ballbuster1]

Read the stats. Like him or not McNabb's the best QB the Eagles have ever had.

How about the 30 years of nothing that came before him?

[Kugzilla]

Speaking of QB's that aren't appreciated by many during their time...Randall was honored today...

Here's some highlights: song has some bad words in it FYI...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0vbIi9tg5Q

[Kugzilla]

Phil Sheridan has an interesting article on McNabb-Cunningham:

[Glenn Dandy]

funny you should say that.


My point exactly.

Jaworski sucked
Cunninham sucked
McNabb sucks


A better Qb would of brought us a bowl in the Cunningham days, He was an amazing athelete, just not bright enough to be quarterback.

Mcnabb might be smart enough, almost.. not a good Qb, cant pass accurately. Never could. Gets hot spells but never can count on him, especially in a big game.

Jaws, jesus whole team shoulda been fired.

All these Bums enjoyed LONG stays with the eagles.... WHY?


Understand this...WINS = WINNERS

The eagles had some great football teams... IMO the QB has always been the Anchor holding us down.

Stats mean nothing to me... WINS matter.

Winners , win.

I think Kolb could be a winner.... Looks damned good for a young guy... he needs reps and respect.

[maz]

How 'Bout that Kevin Kolb

2 300 yd passing games in a row

Fuckin' A

[Kugzilla]

Cunningham had a crappy o-line and uninventive coordinators on offense. That said, there's not excuse for that team not winning or even appearing in a super bowl.

[Wilmington WOW]

Great day at Linc Sunday.
Let's see how Kolb does against a good defense.
KC is a good high school team.

[Ballbuster1]

So they get rid of Garcia to make room for Trotter.

Not sure I like that idea. I wish they would have held
off til they were sure they had 3 healthy QB's.

[Kugzilla]

I think Trot is being brought in for lockerroom help as much as on the field. I also think Garcia will likely be available again in a few weeks, should they want him.

[BullsLawDan]

I think Trot is being brought in for lockerroom help as much as on the field. I also think Garcia will likely be available again in a few weeks, should they want him.

Yeah it's not like he did anything this time around to warrant some other team making him a starter.

[flyerfan116]

Yeah it's not like he did anything this time around to warrant some other team making him a starter.

Yeah but with Pennington out, Miami may eye him up as a back up.

I still don't mind it. I feel alot more comfortable with Kolb/Vick if McNabb goes out again. I personally think Trott is done but if he can contribute, even in morale it will be a help

[Wilmington WOW]

oh yeah, the eagles are still playing football
I forgot

[BullsLawDan]

oh yeah, the eagles are still playing football
I forgot

Bye week + Phils playoff run = dead Eagles thread.

[Philly loser]

Okay, let's get back into a football frame of mind here

Shake off the rust and get ready for what should be win #3

I'll predict the offense struggles in the first half

and that Tampa Bay scores a special teams TD

with that, 27-13 Eagles

[maz]

McNabb back today ?

[Ballbuster1]

Yup. We're headed over to the kid's house to watch the game today.

[maz]

Have fun with the Grandkids

I''l be watchin' at work

[Bud8Weiser]

So whats the over/under on inaccurate passes by D-Mac before the fans start booing and calling for Kolb?

[Philly loser]

No clue Bud

With the Eagles fans, it could be the first one

but he just had a nice run

and just followed it with a 51 yard TD toss to Maclin

looks okay to me!

I know some hate him (Looking at you GD...)

but I love Donovan

[Philly loser]

I'll predict the offense struggles in the first half

minus the first two plays... check

[Philly loser]

14-0 Birds

Offense has been eh, okay so far

defense has played well

too many penalties though

Suckaneers are awful



giant game will be interesting

they appear to be the real deal

and Chiefs, Bucs, and Panthers aren't real tests

then again, oakland isn't a real test for the giants either

[Philly loser]

Of course

I jinx the fucking game

Tampa Bay just marched down field

TD Suckaneers

[bb1mobile]

Nice pickoff in the end zone.

Way too many penalties in this game so far.

[Philly loser]

2 picks for Asante today

McNabb looks healthy enough

Westbrook had a nice catch and then a rushing TD

I say take them both out now

please

[Philly loser]

Donovan
10-15 3TD 205 Yds
2 rushed 30 Yds

Westbrook
5 rushes 16 Yds 1 TD
2 catches 17 Yds

2 picks for Asante today

Westbrook had a nice catch and then a rushing TD

Really. Why tempt fate?

[Philly loser]

Birds are winning handily so I shouldn't complain

BUT

Andy and his bullshit wildcat offense sucks

why sign the dickhead dog killer if all he does is handoff

how does that scare anyone?

we're gonna run the wildcat

we'll bring in a running QB and have him handoff 10 times a game

I don't want the fucking jerkoff on the team

but if he's here, why not have him throw once in awhile to keep the defense honest

I swear we heard that we were going to see plays we'd never seen before

well, I've see a QB hand off before

thank God they're negotiating an extension with Reid

fuck him

anyway

FG Akers

31-7 now

You think maybe, just maybe, they're saving the interesting Vick plays for a game where it really counts? I mean, KC and TB aren't exactly games where you need a lot of trick plays.

[Philly loser]

could be Bull

I've just always hated Vick

and I've never been a Reid fan

it's like a perfect storm for me to bitch and complain




TD Sucks

31-14 now

[bb1mobile]

They got Vick for cheap as trade bait for next season.
I really believe that's all they're concerned with.

[Philly loser]

Eagles win!

Gonna watch Broncos - Pats now

praying B Dawk kills Brady

screw the NFL and their protect Brady at all costs rules

[BullsLawDan]

They got Vick for cheap as trade bait for next season.

Yup.

Work him enough to show him off, trade for good stuff next year.

[Kugzilla]

Quality win today, but way too many stupid penalties.

Don looked good.

Almost Phillies time...

[Ballbuster1]

Over 100 yards in penalties won't do against better teams.

They need to straighten that shit out.

On the flip side, it's a win and the offense is starting to look good.

[Aizazzle]

BB pretty much summed it up. The amount of penalties were unacceptable, but that was the only the problem with the birds in this game.

The offense looked spectacular, but they have to run the ball more. Yeah, I realize it's beating a dead horse, but the differential between the TOP was far too much. Against a better team, if the Defense has to stay out out there for that amount of time, they won't be effective.

Oh and it's nice to see McNabb look healthy and make good throws.

What the hell happened to Brian Westbrook?

[mikeybot]

His ankle is still a bit wracked up and he hasn't played in a month.

[Aizazzle]

His ankle is still a bit wracked up and he hasn't played in a month.

I think he might have gone the LT route. I truly hope to God that I'm wrong, but I really think there are a lot of similarities between LT and Westbrook's cases. Thank God, Andy drafted Shady McCoy as insurance.

[BullsLawDan]

Oh and it's nice to see McNabb look healthy and make good throws.


McNabb looked great, I agree.

Hell, if they only use Vick to rest McNabb and keep him healthy down the stretch it was worth it.

It looks like the Eagles player development strategy is working well - with the exception of TO (who provided a valuable lesson in sticking to their plan) the Eagles strategy has been to draft well and develop talent from within (as opposed to a Redskins-like free agency period).

When they got rid of TO they had chances to take other whiny annoying receivers but didn't.

Now, look how great Maclin and Jackson are starting to gel. Celek gives them a legit option over the middle and is good enough to take pressure off of Westbrook AND the receivers.

Celek - 3rd year
Jackson - 2nd year
Maclin - Rookie

That's a scary future for the other NFC teams.

[Kugzilla]

Although, they did try to sign Randy Moss a few offseasons ago...

[MilkmanDan]

Although, they did try to sign Randy Moss a few offseasons ago...

In retrospect, may've been a blessing in disguise. You saw what Maclin just did, he wouldnt be drafted if Moss on the team.
I feel bad for Kevin Curtis, he's a very good WR. Nagging injuries... Noone in Phillly doesnt want another weapon, especially a speed burner like him.

Line up Jackson, Maclin, Curtis and Avant, with Celek lurking around.
If I'm a defensive player I just think.... fuck.

[BullsLawDan]

Line up Jackson, Maclin, Curtis and Avant, with Celek lurking around.
If I'm a defensive player I just think.... fuck.

Or some combination of those with McNabb, Westbrook, and Vick in the backfield. How do you defend that?

[Bud8Weiser]

Or some combination of those with McNabb, Westbrook, and Vick in the backfield. How do you defend that?

Key on B-West and D-Mac because Vick has proved to be pretty much useless. There are some teams out there that could use a QB now and still feel like they've got a shot. They need to move him now before its too late.

[DocSavage]

Regarding Maclin...let's not get ahead of ourselves. I do recall another rookie (named Hank Baskett) put up 177yds on 12/31/06 vs. Falcons his first start.

[Philly loser]

just in case there's a World Series game in Philadelphia on November 1

[Ballbuster1]

If the Phils are in the World Series that makes 2 big games in South Philly at the same time.
The NFL agreed to move the game to 1:00 so they could get the parking lots empty in time
for a home game for the Phils.

The time change will stand whether the Phils make the series or not.

Yep. Gotta show Vick at work as best they can so they can get some value for him in a trade with the deadline quickly approaching.

[Mother Shucker]

Phucking typical team from Filly phucking me in my ass. I have the Feagles in a survivor pool, and they are down at the half to the worst team in football. Die.

[mikeybot]

The Rams and Bucs are worse actually.

[Aizazzle]

Dear Eagles,

The Raiders are supposed to be the team that blows in epic proportions. Now, if you would please remember that.

Signed,
Your fans

[mikeybot]

Oline is playing like shit and Aikers has missed two. Obvious signs of an 'off' game.

Glad Lee is pitching tonight.

If it weren't for the Phils, I'd be really pissed off right now.

[Kugzilla]

They are lucky to not be down more than 4

[mikeybot]

That's pretty much what I said to my dad. If they were playing a better team, they'd be getting fucking BURIED right now. At least they're in a position to hopefully come back and get the clunker game out of the way without much damage.

[Mother Shucker]

I am not watching the game, but I am following it on "game channel". Can someone tell me why in a four point game McNigNog has 35 attempts while Westbrook has five?

[mikeybot]

Ugh.

[Aizazzle]

That was one of the worst games from the Eagles, I have seen. Our players were terrible and the coaching staff was inept. When a team constantly blitzes, you run the fucking ball. Westbrook had 6 rushes. Fuck You Andy Reid! I hope you choke on a dick and your retarded kid goes on another drug binge

[bb1mobile]

I said it before, all you need to do is keep the pressure on McNabb.
He is only at his best when he gets in a rhythm. Keep him scrambling
& he's gonna be shit.

The defense wasn't any better. Nice game deecks.

[Philly loser]

What the fuck are you even supposed to say about that steaming pile of shit?

[mikeybot]

that was a steaming pile of shit

Oh my god!! The Eagles are terrible. They looked attrocious today. WE WANT KOLB! WE WANT KOLB!!

They also need to trade Vick away and pick up a kicker because Akers stinks something awful.

[Philly loser]

feel better?

[maz]

Phucking typical team from Filly phucking me in my ass. I have the Feagles in a survivor pool, and they are down at the half to the worst team in football. Die.


LOL

At least Something good came outta that game

[Bud8Weiser]

LOL

At least Something good came outta that game

Oh son of a bitch. I had them in both of my survival leagues too. :mad4:

[Kugzilla]

Embarrassing effort. That said, at least every aspect of the team came up short, rather than just one or two things.

If you're going to screw up, do it spectacularly, that's what I say.

[Absolutely]

Obviously wrong, I thought Vick would be a lot better. Not that I expected him to be amazing, but just not worthless.

[mikeybot]

After the Phillies game, they should be fucking embarrassed and ashamed of the sorry excuse for a game they played today.

[Chino Kapone]

The pigeon leading the Raiders was the best thing about that game. Terrible job by the iggles.

[Bud8Weiser]

That BIRD was amazing on kick coverage.

[Wilmington WOW]

what a joke

[Philly loser]

I love Trot

but he's done

Liked Gibson in pre-season

but this can only help, right?

RIGHT?

Reid: Witherspoon brought in to be middle linebacker

The Eagles acquired linebacker Will Witherspoon from St. Louis for wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a fifth-round pick in 2010.

Today is the NFL trading deadline and the Eagles clearly had a need at linebacker. Gibson looked good in training camp but has not been playing.

Andy Reid was clear about his intentions for Witherspoon, "I'm bringing [Witherspoon] in here to be my MIKE linebacker."

The moves comes on the heels of a rough performance by Jeremiah Trotter against the Raiders and Omar Gaither’s foot injury, although Gaither indicated that he did not think he was seriously hurt. Reid said Gaither will see a foot specialist.

Witherspoon, in his eighth season out of Georgia, sustained injuries to his hip and back in Sunday’s overtime loss at Jacksonville. The 29-year-old had to be assisted to the sidelines by trainers. An MRI indicated only a bruise.

Witherspoon, 6-1, 239, signed a 6-year, $33 million deal (including $15 million guaranteed) with St. Louis in 2006. In his first season with the Rams, he played in all 16 games and recorded a career-high 113 tackles and three sacks. In 2007 he recorded 110 tackles and a career-high seven sacks and was named Team MVP for 2007

In 2004, he played in Super Bowl for Carolina and had a career-high 16 tackles. He ended the campaign with a total of 99 tackles, one sack and one interception. He was a Panthers' third-round pick in 2002.

Reid also said there is a "good chance" that Todd Herremans will make his season debut against Washington on Monday night. The scan on his surgically repaired foot looked good, Reid said.

Clearly the highlight of that article

Witherspoon, in his eighth season out of Georgia, sustained injuries to his hip and back in Sunday’s overtime loss at Jacksonville. The 29-year-old had to be assisted to the sidelines by trainers. An MRI indicated only a bruise.

If they extend his contract I'm done with this team.

[Philly loser]

Sadly, I think you'll be done BB

They've been in talks

I can't stand him

[Ballbuster1]

I can't stand him
Me either at this point. He's had 10 years to win and they still have no title.
He can't win the big games with his conservative play calling. His constant
clinging to a pass game when it's failing is just stupid. He has no clock
management skills. I could go on but I won't. Fuck him. Fucking fat ass.

[Philly loser]

Excellent assessment

Especially the last three words

fuck that jerkoff

Eagles LB Gaither out for season with foot injury (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AmK8mmdPCIFpICZfyLPIxarhMMQF?slug=ap-eagles-gaither&prov=ap&type=lgns)

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Eagles coach Andy Reid says linebacker Omar Gaither(notes) will have surgery on left foot and will miss the rest of the season.

Gaither suffered the injury during Sunday’s loss to the Oakland Raiders.

He is the second Eagles middle linebacker to be lost for the season— Stewart Bradley(notes) was placed on injured reserve after tearing an ACL in a preseason scrimmage.

On Tuesday, the Eagles acquired linebacker Will Witherspoon(notes) from the St. Louis Rams. Witherspoon will start for the Eagles against Washington on Monday night.

[Philly loser]

I guess this helps explain the Witherspoon trade

Also means Trot will probably still find some plays on the field

As I said, I always liked Trot

But he looked old and slow (again) on Sunday

[maz]

Might sneak out of work early for this one

See how busy we are tonight

[Philly loser]

Possible Prop5 implications maz

[Ballbuster1]

Not sure if I should watch this or just dream of a World Series repeat.

Andy's giving me ulcers.

[Bud8Weiser]

Evening gentlemen. Ready for game time.

[Philly loser]

Hey Bud

Which team shows up?

If it's the one that played Oakland last week

I'll kill myself

Nah... got a World Series to watch

[Ballbuster1]

Well..... here goes nothing.

[Philly loser]

I predict either a big win

or me cursing Andy Reid

yep

one of those two

[Philly loser]

Who's getting the ball?

[Philly loser]

Faith Hill or Hank "Bocephus" Williams, Jr

Sorry tradition

I'll take Faith

http://guerrillagarrett.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/wp_faith_sept.jpg

[Bud8Weiser]

Hey Bud

Which team shows up?

If it's the one that played Oakland last week

I'll kill myself

Nah... got a World Series to watch

Hey PL.

I sure hope its the high powered offense and not that joke we saw last week. If they put up a performance like last week and D-Mac continues his off target passing some changes need to be made. THey've gotta win tonight just to keep pace with the Giants and Cowboys.

[Bud8Weiser]

I predict either a big win

or me cursing Andy Reid

yep

one of those two

Exactly.

[Ballbuster1]

They'd have won last week they'd be tied with the Giants. Fuckheads.

[Bud8Weiser]

Faith Hill or Hank "Bocephus" Williams, Jr

Sorry tradition

I'll take Faith

http://guerrillagarrett.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/wp_faith_sept.jpg

I despise Faith Hill and generally don't find her all that attractive anymore with all the plastic surgery but... HOLY SHIT that is a sexy fuckin pic.

[Bud8Weiser]

They'd have won last week they'd be tied with the Giants. Fuckheads.

I blame 3 people. Andy Reid, D-Mac and Akers.

[Philly loser]

Not exactly a dazzling start

but let's see what the offense does

anyone betting on 3 straight passes against the 27th ranked run defense?

[Philly loser]

Hmm...

making me look stupid

I like it!

[Philly loser]

DeSean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bud8Weiser]

That fuckin kid is unbelievable. He has a whole nother gear.

[Ballbuster1]

Hmm...

making me look stupid

I like it!
It's early. If they falter he'll drop right back into that pass, pass, pass shit.

Good catch and run by Jackson. Way to start off the game.

[maz]

WOW

Got home just in time to see that

[Bud8Weiser]

It's early. If they falter he'll drop right back into that pass, pass, pass shit.

Good catch and run by Jackson. Way to start off the game.

Andy Reids play calling is horrendous. I don't know what his adversion to the run is all about. Especially with B-West and McCoy

[Philly loser]

Here's an odd comment

I like that Eldra Buckley kid

I think he is one of the few that's done a good job on special teams

[Ballbuster1]

Wide open Cooley.

Huh huh, that sounds gay.....

[Bud8Weiser]

Wide open Cooley.

Huh huh, that sounds gay.....

Did you see his hair during pregame. He just might like a wide open Cooley.

[Bud8Weiser]

I guess ya have to live with those kind of bad plays from DeSean every once in a while for the weapon he is the rest of the time.

[Ballbuster1]

DON'T RUN TIL YOU HAVE BALL CONTROL!

Jesus. Stupid mistakes like that always piss me off.

[Ballbuster1]

Did you see his hair during pregame. He just might like a wide open Cooley.
Yeah, I had the same thought.

[Philly loser]

Cooley has some funny vids on YouTube and a smokin' hot wife
search "Cooley Zone"

but do it later

for now, he's the enemy and I hope they break him in half and his hot wife leaves him to blow a fat, 40-something Eagles fan

Uh... as an example

[Philly loser]

so... the play calling is quickly skewing pass

[Bud8Weiser]

Of course he's hurt!!

[Bud8Weiser]

Holy shit is he fragile.

[Ballbuster1]

Of course he's hurt!!

Why wouldn't he be?

[Bud8Weiser]

Eh. Fluke deal. Glad he's ok.

[Bud8Weiser]

Lets go McCoy!!!

[Bud8Weiser]

Now if D-Mac shits the bed it might be the team of the future again next week.

[Bud8Weiser]

There's a great McNabb pass, right on cue.

[Philly loser]

Let's be positive now Bud

This team needs our support

after all there coached by a functional retard

[Bud8Weiser]

I hate this fuckin commercial with the pothole that sounds like Britney Spears.

[Philly loser]

I hate the Kia commercial that Op ripped off while visiting the Philly crew

That's craaaaaaaaaaaaazy

[Ballbuster1]

Of course Westbrook's done for the night.

[Bud8Weiser]

Let's be positive now Bud

This team needs our support

after all there coached by a functional retard

Sorry PL. I'll try harder. ;)

[Bud8Weiser]

Where is Hakeem?

[Ballbuster1]

Cool, Campbell's taking D Mac passing lessons.

[Bud8Weiser]

Of course Westbrook's done for the night.

Why wouldn't he be. Its his sole purpose in life to fuck my fantasy team.

[Bud8Weiser]

Next season I make it point to take NO Eagles. It just pisses me off twice as bad.

[Philly loser]

The only Eagle I took was DeSean Motherfucking Jackson

he is a knucklehead

but holy shit can he play

[Philly loser]

Shady held the ball!

[Bud8Weiser]

The only Eagle I took was DeSean Motherfucking Jackson

he is a knucklehead

but holy shit can he play

He's still young. When he grows up a bit and gains some maturity look the fuck out.

[Bud8Weiser]

Ooooh. Great touch from McNabb and yaaaaaaaay. In comes Reggie Brown.

[Philly loser]

It's a shame Reggie Brown has zero value

I would have liked to have kept Brandon Gibson

But when you have no middle linebackers you have to make a move

and, I love Trot, but he wasn't the move

and if you still had the greatest Eagle of all time at safety

you wouldn't have had to be desperate for veteran leadership

okay, someday I'll stop being fucking bitter about Dawkins wearing an orange jersey

but no time soon

[Bud8Weiser]

Still miss Dawk.:(

[Bud8Weiser]

Hey!! Nice job Witherspoon. That move looks pretty good so far.

[Philly loser]

Welcome to Philadelphia Mr. Witherspoon

[Ballbuster1]

Nice bat by Quintin.

[Ballbuster1]

Still miss Dawk.:(
So does everyone but the assholes in the office at the Linc.

[Bud8Weiser]

Short return for the Flintstones character.

[Bud8Weiser]

What is Zorns purpose there now if he doesn't call the plays anymore. Just collect a check?

[Philly loser]

Need 1 more point

taking away the drubbing by the Saints

The Eagles have allowed 10, 14, 14, and 13 points in their games this year

[Philly loser]

What is Zorns purpose there now if he doesn't call the plays anymore. Just collect a check?
Yes

If he quits, he doesn't get paid

The pre-game rumor on ESPN is they took play calling away from him

which he said was his favorite part of the game

hoping that he would get pissed and quit

now it is a battle of wills

will they fire him so he still gets paid his contract?

[Bud8Weiser]

Holy shit Witherspoon rules!!

[Ballbuster1]

Witherspoon gets it again.

[Bud8Weiser]

Yes

If he quits, he doesn't get paid

The pre-game rumor on ESPN is they took play calling away from him

which he said was his favorite part of the game

hoping that he would get pissed and quit

now it is a battle of wills

will they fire him so he still gets paid his contract?

Fuck it. I'd stand there every week and collect a check.

[Nstain]

What is Zorns purpose there now if he doesn't call the plays anymore. Just collect a check?

Tom Coughlin doesn't call the plays either.

[Philly loser]

Me too Bud


BTW - Did the Rams give up their best player? He rules in green


also, in honour of the Dawk talk
http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb295/richboy901/Animated/dawkins.gif

(it's topical - it was against the skins)

[Bud8Weiser]

Think Campbell gets the hook again tonight?

[Bud8Weiser]

Tom Coughlin doesn't call the plays either.

Yeah but he coaches a better team. He obviously is a better practice coach.

[Bud8Weiser]

Me too Bud

Holy shit. A suplex!!

[Ballbuster1]

3 more.

[Bud8Weiser]

Nice to see Akers make a FG this week.

[Philly loser]

HA Bud!

Akers for 3

[Ballbuster1]

Does that "D" stand for Dork?

[Nstain]

Think Campbell gets the hook again tonight?

No, they will ride him with the sinking ship!

[Bud8Weiser]

Holding. Flintstones characters return will be negated.

[Nstain]

I bet Sherm Lewis is thinking "Holy shit this team sucks!" and Zorn is thinking "HAHAHAHAHAHA Sherman good luck with this shit sandwich!"

[Bud8Weiser]

No, they will ride him with the sinking ship!

Might as well. I don't think Collins is the answer either.

[Nstain]

Holding. Flintstones characters return will be negated.

Whoops!

[Bud8Weiser]

Oh goddammit!!

[Bud8Weiser]

Ok Danny Smith. They overturned it. Shut the fuck up before you give it right back you dolt. On second thought, keep running your mouth.
