Yeah, so far, I'm really regretting playing the matchup with the Chargers D against Jax instead of taking Miami agianst Oakland.

Ayo Kap, you might want to throw the ball away every now and then instead of losing yards.

He does a lot that reminds me of McNabb. Both the positive and negative.

Our defense fucking sucks.

 

I'm wondering how long the Eagles can try this "play like shit in the first half, come back and win in the second" run.

Much as I love winning and the Special Teams and Defense are being awesome...

 

My fantasy team would love it of Foles could complete a few passes, maybe score a TD on offense....

Didn't they have to trade Sproles for financial reasons because they were worried that they'd lose the arbitration case for Graham?  I seem to remember reading something recently about that.

 

Ah, found it.  From http://grantland.com/the-triangle/darren-sproles-philadelphia-eagles-value:

 

 

 

By the end of 2013, the Saints had to make a bet on Sproles’s future. Already over the cap heading into the offseason, New Orleans had to clear out space out of concern that an arbitrator might rule Jimmy Graham was a wide receiver, which would cost them an additional $5 million under the franchise tag. Also, the Saints wanted to use any other space they had to target star safety Jairus Byrd, who eventually signed with the team. With a cap hit of $3.5 million and the Saints unlikely to re-sign Sproles after the 2014 season, they decided to cut bait while they could. Other teams saw a player who might be past his prime and weren’t willing to take the risk by giving up more than a fifth-rounder.

Don't know what the hell New Orleans was thinking trading Sproles.

Age and stats.  His rushing, punt, and kick return stats were in severe decline and Sproles is on the wrong side of 30.

Yeah that is a good bit of cap savings. Anyway a 5th beats the nothing the Eagles got for Jackson.  Worked out well for the Eagles the Saints having cap problems. With Sproles and Jenkins.

Hey fucktards, would it kill you lot to not look totally incompetent on fucking offense today?

 

 

Foles getting this banged up does not leave much hope that we won't see Sanchez at some point this season.

It must be a Stanford thing.

 

Stanford coaches are Kelly's kryptonite. 

 

I am amazed that they are in the game with an offensive line that is down to third string guys.
