The Eagles are a mess. I don't know how the Lions don't end up winning this one. One win closer to Mayhew and Caldwell being back next year

Eagles defense forced 21 turnovers (12 ints and 9 fumbles). Lions better protect the ball for the 3rd week in a row.

They can be run on though and gave up plenty of passing TDs.

Ertz and Matthews have concussions. Kelce may be hurt too. Bradford playing would be a boost for them though.

Last win vs. Eagles at home...10/2/1977. Yeesh. That's four months before I was born.

I won't be near a computer today due to festivities with the family. Happy Thanksgiving to you all (you too LKP). Have a great day.

And now I leave you with one of my favorite Barry .gifs:

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Hope you get to spend a lot of wonderful time with your loved ones today. Hopefully watching the Lions get a win!

I'm pretty sure Calvin has been listed as having an ankle injury since 2008.

Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your day.

All I've heard them talk about is the Eagles so far

 

[kdp1980]

Stupid

 

[manchild98]

all day to throw.

 

[kdp1980]

No pass rush. That 3rd and long ziggy dropped into coverage. I don't get it

 

[cheeno]

Bend but not break. Classic Austin Defense.

 

[manchild98]

Very costly face mask penalty on Philly. No points and now good field position for us.

 

[manchild98]

Wow, that's a crazy stat...only the 4th drive of 5 minutes or longer for the Eagles this season???

 

[kdp1980]

Gay playcalling

 

[cheeno]

Tomlinson. Brutal

 

[johnny2x2x]

Ugly series.

 

[manchild98]

Aikman..."every play was bad."

 

[kdp1980]

Shitiest opening drive in recent memory
