NFL 2008 discussion thread

Yeah, I was actually pulling for the Eagles in that one.

My Cardinals won!

Go BILLS Go !

Anyone catch last night's game? GREAT game! I;m glad the pats lost!

I'm going to Cowboys game tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A friend ended up with an extra ticket at the last minute. Of course, he's redskins fan, but I'll be there all decked out in Cowboys gear!!!

OMG, the Rams are B-A-D!!!

I understand getting smoked by the Jets 47-3 last week but right now with more than 3 minutes left in the first half, the Rams are losing to the Niners 28-3.

I'm actually hoping the Rams lose out so we get a high draft pick.

My Eagles tie a 1-8 team? Pathetic, i don't know what is going on with the teams short yardage situation but it def. needs to be addressed in the offseason to bolster there short yardage situation.

Update: 35-3 at the half.

I officially start cheering for the Arizona Cardinals now.

And yeah, what's up with the Eagles? The Bungles actually should have won that game.

I am also now a fan of the Bungles, Lions, Seahawks (except this week) and every other team with the same or worse record than the Lambs.

We need another #1 draft pick baby!

i am actually getting sick of watching the NFL anymore which now stands for NEXT FLAG League cuz thats all it is anymore. As soon as you hit the QB hard there is a flag thrown almost instantly. It's alright for a WR or a RB to get hit hard but no not the precious QB. Every game i have watched this year, there always seems to be a roughing the passer called. This needs to be addressed and the Refs need to stop penalizing a player for doing his job and getting after the QB. The NFL is a contact sport now it has players not going to there full potential because they will be flagged for big hit.

Cowboys game was GREAT!!! Lots of blue jerseys at the game (and it was an away game for the cowboys).

Hey MetalRob - I had to call one of my friends (who is a lifetime eagles fan) and ask why they couldn't just roll over and lose, but have to tie. Of course, with mcnabb's 3 or 4 picks, he didn't feel the eagles deserved to win. It just shows how little difference there is between the good and bad teams in the NFL.

Toho - that score just goes to show you how much steven jackson means to your team. With him you, the lambs are just really bad.

Well the Eagles rolled over and lost and gave up as soon as they benched there franchise QB. Down less then 1 score and you bring out your back-up in the second half against one of the best defenses in the game at there house?

Andy Reid is an idiot, an I wouldn't mind seeing him go, after this lackluster performance. Granted he doesn't make the plays happen, but he isn't a motivator and this team seems to lack that one guy to bring the team together.

This team has all the pieces to be an elite team they just don't have a general to lead them.

I saw that. I really like McNabb. He's a tough QB (who else plays with broken leg?). I think he's getting the typical Philly treatment. Remember, this is the city who booed Mike Schmidt on a regular basis. I'm originally from Allentown so I got to see a lot of what the Philly fans are capable of. I don't think McNabb has ever been appreciated by Philadelphia. Too bad because I think he's a class act.

And you're right, Reid is an idiot.

Good call Toho!!!!!

That is exhibit #1 why Philly fans can never be taken seriously (no matter how loyal they want you to think they are). Anyone with even a passing interest in baseball in the 70's and 80's knew this man was one of the best ever. Not best 3rd baseman, or best of his era....but best ever. When you combine his defense and his offense (in one of the worst offensive eras since Babe Ruth ushered in The Change) he's a top-10 all time player.

The guy is a great QB, but what he lacks really isnt his fault. The Eagles have no running game therefore teams play the pass. They have no physical receiver or possession receiver who can move the chains. That spells disaster for Mcnabb and the offense.

He is the Eagles franchise QB you dont bench him when the playoffs are on the line. This team really needs to address there receiving options in the off season. Randy Moss was offered a lot to come to philly, but he said no. When Reggie Brown is your #1 receiver and he has maybe 20 catches all year that spells trouble.

Agree 1000000% Mike is one of the best ever. I think a loyal fan is different from a fan that knows about the game and the players. Living an hour away from Philly i get the luxury of seeing the fans close up, players are human they arent always going to excel.

Don't forget Philly is the city that booed Santa Claus

Not only did they boo Santa Claus, they pelted him with snowballs.

I remember hearing about that while living in PA but the feature that ESPN did explained a lot.

Now this I agree with. I think the Eagles' success in the 00's has been despite him.

tennessee first fail

That was fast.

Second play of the game and the Lions fumble it away. I was hoping this game would at least be competitive.

Yep and Chris Johnson TD! He's one of my RB's in FF!

OK, 21-3 and it's not even out of the first quarter.

What else is on?

I've got the Titans D and Rob Bironas as my kicker. I think I've gotten a point or two today!

Awesome! I have their "D", but not Bironas. I think he's good for about 20 points in my league (5 xtra points, 12 on field goals + 3 bonus points for long field goals). That's a sweet day for a kicker!
