That may have been one of the ugliest Eagles wins I have ever seen in my life. JeMarcus Campbell and Brady McNabb put up an award winning performance of suckitude that should make Seth Rogen feel good about himself.
Moving on....this may very well be one of the most exciting and intriguing Sundays I have seen in quite some time. Basically, except to check out some FNIA highlights or if I feel like killing downtime during halftime of a select couple of football games, my TV will be on Fox from 12 noon to 12 midnight and who knows, maybe beyond. Fox has the NFL doubleheader, which for me includes at 1 PM ET, the Eagles taking on the New York Giants. Then at 4:15, it's Brett Favre's return to Lambeau for the first time since leaving the Pack in the what will be billed here (and most likely elsewhere in the blogosphere) as Favre Bowl II. Thom Brennaman is doing this game. If I were Fox, I would have medics in the booth stat for chances are, he'll have popped 2-hours before the game even starts. In other words, an emergency trip to the hospital will be needed for Mr. Brennaman once the 3rd quarter starts. Oh yeah, Game 4 of the World Series is this Sunday. You know, with the Phillies!
So, without further ado, here is your Week 8 NFL schedule! Are you ready? Here we go!

Wow. I just realized that all of our teams are playing at 1:00 ET this Sunday. 49er16's Niners, Mookie's Seahawks, kt's Ravens, and my Eagles. And I'm sure Al's Deadskins would be playing at 1 as well if they did not have a bye and were not on the west coast.
This Sunday should be one fun weekend all culminating with the aforementioned Game 4 of the World Series, so I hope you will join us all as the live blog will be back with a vengeance!
JFein, I would like to apologize to everyone who watched tonight's MNF game.
ReplyDeleteNot only did the Deadskins play like a dead football team, they also brought the Eagles level of play down.
Thankfully, the Eagles play a real football team Sunday, the Giants.
I wonder if the Deadskins could beat BYE next week, I hear BYE has a tough defense.
It's ridiculous that Miami and the Jets are the lead 1:00 game instead of Denver and the Ravens. I don't know if I can handle 2 straight weeks of Dierdorf.
ReplyDelete@ Al: I certainly hope that's the case. Aside from Jackson and Witherspoon, the Eagles played exactly like they did against the Raiders. Campbell's countless errors, the horrible Deadskin offensive line, and blown coverages were the key factors in this game.
ReplyDeleteIt may have been a 10-point win for the Eagles, but I am in no way impressed with their performance tonight. They need to improve otherwise they will be heading down the same road as the Deadskins.
@kt -It's the Jets and Sanchez the supposed franchise QB w/ GQ looks, number 1 market, Nantz lives in Conn. while Simms lives in NY, Patriots are off, of cource it is Northeast bias by CBS.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Gumbel/Dierdorf might as well be on the Jets payroll, they've done 4 Jets games already.
I see why they would keep Gumbel's crew off the Jets for a better game to break the tendency.
I am aware of all the patterns that you mention. I'm just saying I'm not a fan of Dierdorf.
ReplyDeleteI understand, sucks for you but that's why you're probably stuck w/ Dierdorf.
ReplyDeleteI know the Redskins are going to get either Ron Pitts, Chris Myers, or Chris Rose if they keep stinking it up. Larry Michael might sound halfway decent on radio for once.
