How About A Birds Win for Dessert?

Thanksgiving Feast 08, originally uploaded by The700Level

Ahhhh, Thanksgiving. One of the few days of the year when you can eat absolutely anything you want and not feel guilty about it. And then eat some more.

We're lucky this year to have some Eagles football to enjoy as we sit on the couch and follow up our turkey feasts with a few cold ones. The Cardinals are a pretty hot team and come into Philly with perhaps the best receiving corp in football and a quarterback in Kurt Warner who is playing at MVP levels. This will be a tight football game.

The Iggles will be without Correll Buckhalter and will turn to the exciting playmaking abilities of Lorenzo Booker to back up the hobbled Brian Westbrook.

Perhaps an even bigger absences will be the hole in the secondary due to the missing Asante Samuel. While Sheldon Brown and Lito Sheppard are fine corners, once you get to the Joselio Hansons and Sean Considines of the world, things get a little hairy.

I wrote earlier that I hope the fans at the Linc treat Donovan with some class early and I believe that. After the game starts, the Birds' play should dictate the atmosphere.

Things have been bleak for the Birds the past few weeks, but I'm looking for a win tonight at home. We're due.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there. Thanks for reading and go Birds!

Holy crap...there was just 2 running plays in a row!

[Tony]

fucking wysp and wip dont port the game over there websites either FUCK

[Tony]

its on regional abc, damn this makes me angry

[MikeY]

What's that?

A run on a 3rd-and-1?...Is Andy finally gaining some sense?

[MikeY]

Oh, my bad Tony...I didn't know you weren't in the area.

[Tony]

yea, im out in steeler country, anybody know any other ways, right now i got espn gamecast and saw 5 actually looked good

[J.P.]

Go to justin.tv you can watch it online

[Stevek]

B-West gets it started off right with a TD. Lol @ the applause when they converted the 3rd & 1.

[Mitch]

Keeping it simple . . . why did they get away from that? Good start. Defenses turn.

[Tony]

JP, which channel on justin tv

[Matt B.]

JP: do you have the link? I cleared my history and can't seem to find it.

[Tony]

http://www.justin.tv/myvideocast2

is the one i found

thanks for all the help, i love you guys, and turkey

[MikeY]

Wow, I would have never expected them to be up 14-0 in the 1st quarter.

[Mike H.]

Who is this team?
And what have they done with the Eagles?

[David F.]

Where has this been all season?!?

See Andy, this is what happens when you RUN THE FOOTBALL and don't throw 40 yard passes downfield on 3rd and 1!!!

[MikeY]

@ Mike H.

Who cares who they are, they can stay as long as they keep playing like this.

[MikeY]

Yeah, Q-Mike!

Wowey-wow-wow...the D is stepping up tonight!

[lacboi]

Must be the jerseys.

[David F.]

We really need to keep running...that last drive we went 3 and out on three passes (one was completed, another resulted in a sack.) This drive so far 2 runs gets us nearly 10 yards. Arizona can't stop it!

[MikeY]

Damn...the camera guy got faked out of his shoes on the one.

[Mitch]

Hank Baskett! What a catch!

Keep runnin that ball . . .

[Mitch]

Anquan Boldin who? DJax baby!

[phloridaphilsphan]

Thank you thank you for the link!! I am drinkin my bottle of champagne cause I can finally watch the birds 1000 miles away! WOOHOO!

[Mitch]

Wish I had Westbrook in fantasy.

[David F.]

@ Mitch

Not the past few weeks you didn't. Now he finally looks like his usual self and I have a bye! Go figure!

McNabb fantasy points last week: -4
This week (1st half so far): 15

Westbrook fantasy points last week: 5
This week (1st half): 27

Granted we are playing the Cardinals, not the Ravens, but still...

[MikeY]

@ Mitch:

I was a little hesitant on starting him this week because he hasn't put up very good points the last few weeks...my other 2 backs are MJD and Hightower...i'mso lgad I did since I'm playing a guy who has Chris Brown from Tennessee.

I know, I know...no one cares about my fantasy team...blah, blah, blah...

[MikeY]

I'm so glad*

/brain anurism or somehting

[Tony]

i started mcnab this week over ryan and garcia, and HELL YES

[Nick B.]

Can someone take the red flag away from Andy?

[Alex F.]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[MikeY]

Wow, horrible call right there.

[David F.]

Way to give Arizona 7 points ref...fuckin jackass.

[David F.]

Wow then the refs come right back and fuck us over on a no call on PI in the endzone. To top it off Jean Giles gets hurt when the drive should be already over.

I sincerely hope these refs get reamed by the NFL for this job in the first half. Fucking pathetic.

[J.P.]

I'm glad andy finally remembered that you can run and pass its not either or

[Mike H.]

I'm sitting next to a Cardinals fan trying to tell me Warner will bring the comeback. I'm too much in the bag to figure out if he's right...

[J.P.]

Only jake plummer leads the cardinal comebacks against the birds

[Mitch]

Yea Warner will lead AZ to a comeback when the Cardinals a.) get a run game and b.) give Warner time to throw . . .

The Eagles are actually doing everything right . . . for once

[Mitch]

Team record 4th TD in a game baby!

[zachman]

oh baby....chris johnson in the first game had two tds....mcnabb is doing well....akers has got me some points....and i have some guy named westbrook too...good fantasy football day

[David F.]

If we played like this every week we'd be in the playoffs easily.

[Nick B.]

Wow - BWest.

Playoffs or no, this is still enjoyable. Good day, I love America.

[MikeY]

@ Mitch:

Tied a team record with the 4th TD (Irving Fryar)

[Nick B.]

Anyone else notice this knucklehead calling the game with Collinsworth can't say Warner's name? Water, Warren, Wanner, WillyMo.

[Mitch]

@ MikeY

Haha thats what I meant. Thanks dude.
Irving Fryar, wow, old school! Loved him.

[David F.]

How much are the cardinals paying the refs? 7 against us, just 1 against them, with several blown calls.

[J.P.]

Is it just me or is the camera work real shitty?

[thegreatwarden]

If you play what Collinsworth says in reverse...It says "I worship McCarver"

[zachman]

haha i really didnt miss listening to joe buck

[Mike H.]

D-Mac current QB rating = 112.7
