Really liked how they used Sproles last night Earlier in the year Doug was featuring him too much and I feared he would wear down. Last night was the perfect mix of Mathews and the Sproles. And he stuck with Mathews despite not a lot of success. Good things happen when you stick to the game plan. Doug's showed me something these last couple weeks.

Go Birds.

good things happen when you get a 14-0 lead and your defense doesn't totally suck.

Hey Merry Christmas to all you fuckers. Hope everyone has a nice enjoyable and safe holiday.

Umm, yeah and that lead was built by a balanced attack. Started with very first drive (you know, when the score was 0-0) and continued with every other sustained scoring drive. Same story last week too even when down by 2 scores and they had a chance to win.

Again--I've liked what I've seen out of Doug these last couple weeks. That's all I've wanted out of these last few games.

Well 7 points of that 14 point lead were built by a balanced attack and 7 were an Eli gift.

It's the gift that keeps on giving. It happened after the Eagles scored first though.

Yeah, I'll gladly take those picks and the last 10-15 years or whatever it has been...

draft for offense. Build around Wentz and worry about the defense after that. Get this guy weapons and protect his ass with a good offensive line and this team can take off in the next few years.

for all the bitching from the media and some fans about the run/pass ratio the Eagles ended up 10th in the league in rushing attempts. and 9 teams with less attempts than the Eagles made the playoffs. interesting.

from revolutionizing the game to fired 2 years in a row. where are the fans (some here) and media who were canonizing Chip during his 1st year here? pretty silent these days.

anyone who doesn't vote for Tom Brady as AFC MVP and Aaron Rodgers as NFC MVP should have their votes taken away. At some point you just have to give it to the best players in the league and not the guys who had one great season right? Brady and Rodgers are just on another level than everyone else.

I think that is a bit strong. What about Matt Ryan and Derek Carr? I cannot argue against Brady and Rodgers' brilliance down the stretch -- nor do I care to - but saying that past performance weighs into the current MVP race is not something I agree with.

i guess my point is that guys who are continually at the level of Brady and Rodgers often get overlooked because their greatness is on a similar level year after year after year. So yea Matt Ryan had a great year, but Matt Ryan's great season is pretty much the same as what Brady and Rodgers do every year. Do you penalize Brady and Rodgers because their consistent level is so high? I really dislike Tom Brady but it's pretty absurd to me that the greatest QB of all time has only won 2 MVPs.

I can understand that....but still think you need to confine the award criteria and consideration to the particular season in question. They have HoF and things like that to recognize the greatest players.
If you look at all of the factors present only in 2016 and Brady/Rodgers are still the picks? No problems with that.

And Joe Montana is the greatest QB ever to play.
Lol. I will not be convinced otherwise...nor will I show any logic in my determination beyond "because to me he is the greatest."
I do realize there is an argument to be made for Brady...but I deny it out of my JM/49ers fandom.

the argument for Brady to me is still dominating at 39 and hasn't exactly had the greatest of weapons around him. is Gronk the only possible Hall of Famer on offense he has played with? and is Gronk even a Hall of Famer with all his injuries?

U2 at the Linc 6/18. Playing The Joshua Tree in its entirety.

should be great but top ticket price is $280.00 without fees included. that's an expensive evening.

The Juggler said:

Greg Lewis got fired.

Undlin should be next.

Andy 19-2 after a bye including playoffs. I wouldn't mind seeing the Chiefs win.

should be a good tight game unless Ben is more hurt than he is letting on. I like the Chiefs to win a close one. Hopefully the games this week are better than the stink bombs last week.

and how about Sean McDermott as a head coach now?

You look back and wonder why Andy got rid of him.
