Seeing 34 degrees and light snow in the Philadelphia forecast for Sunday

It's pretty shitty here right now...all rain though. I assume the field's tarped at this point would probably dry out tomorrow anyway. Temple's season is done so the field should be in decent shape, at least to start...

 

[Mitchrapp]

We need lots of Bell.

We need lots of Bell.

I agree, more CowBell

I expect a shoot-out. But I expect Foles' no INT streak comes to an end.

35-32 Lions.

If the Lions get pressure on him like they did Flynn I could see Foles imploding.

I bet it won't be our CB's INT a ball.

 

[elrod817]

Should be able to handle that o-line. Stop Shady and recognize responsibilities against the read-option. Those are the two imperatives in my opinion for a Lions W.

 

[elrod817]

Nope...it's all DeAndre Levy...

 

[Mitchrapp]

So if the weather is bad, snow and shit - what's the over-under on fumbles by Bush?

 

[kdp80]

I'm thinking 2 fumbles 3 drops. And of course 3 or 4 times getting tackled behind the los because of botched jump cuts

Regardless of what happens, Stafford will be blameless.

True. I like Stafford but he needs to shoulder some of the blame for bad play now and again. Its not all about the other guys making mistakes.

People said the same thing about Favre and Marino

People said the same thing about Favre and Marino

Which part?

 

[elrod817]

Which part?

The part that he was referring to.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The part that he was referring to.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I feel so foolish now.

 

[elrod817]

It's the least I could I do. And don't worry it happens to all of us from time to time. I'm glad we're all on the same page now.

GB replaced favre. Then he led the jets to nothing....then he pissed away Minnesota's hopes and dreams by throwing across his body into the middle of the field for another pick lol.
