Week 2 Game Thread - Philly at Dallas (3 Viewers)

[zoonation]

Wow is the Dallas D getting owned tonight. They are brutal.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I traded for Jackson and needed 14 pts out of him to win tonight. I still think he was a good pick up and I pray that he gets a chance to redeem himself tonight.

He is looking like he's gonna be a good one.

Yep. Bonehead play aside, when Brown and Curtis come back, how can they keep this guy off the field?

 

[j3r3m3y]

That bonehead play just cost me a league. Got 6 pts left as a buffer against Westy..

To be fair it was the sum of all of your poor choices. Leagues are not won or lost by a single player, let alone a play.And why do so many people think everyone cares how their individual teams are doing?

 

[Tong Po]

This is just a GREAT football game.... period.

 

[nzranger]

McNabbs throws are all bullets

[tangfoot]

McNabb has hit 8 different receivers already, but NOT LJ Smith.

 

[joffer]

nice to see Reid send Jackson a message by having him in on the next series

 

[Bogart]

There's too much going on in these Monday night threads. Not sure I can keep up.

 

[jurb26]

Eagles are simply outplaying Dal tonight. They look like the better team.

Are you watching last year's game on Tivo??? I really see a pretty evenly matched contest here.

No, I'm watching the Eagles playing in Dal, dominating up front at the LOS (Dal has less than 20 yds rushing on 9 carries), up 6 and ready to score again.

 

[Ghost Rider]

And why do so many people think everyone cares how their individual teams are doing?

The occasional comment ain't gonna hurt anything. Besides, a play like that is huge in fantasy football circles, and this is a fantasy football site, so do the math.

I agree. Chew him out let him get back out there. No blood no foul and the kid has talent.

 

[cheeseypoof]

Honestly, this is probably the best thing that could have happened to DeSean Jackson at this point in his career- and it's good for fantasy owners. Kid needed a blow to his hubris.

The Cowboys are getting owned on both lines of scrimmage.

Sure, go back and ask the people that lost last year when Westbrook took a knee at the 1 and see if they agree with that sentiment.And my other choice was McFadden over SJax. Would you have advised that? Ok great lets carry on. It's a game thread, idle commentary is authorised, feel free to move along and read the next post.

[The Sniper]

I don't have cable, so can someone tell me if LJ Smith is even on the field? Thanks.

 

[landrys hat]

c'mon defense. ####### stop somebody.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Did they even show the illegal hands to the face? WTF, it's only a first down when it was going to be 3rd and long. With the crap I've seen so far out of these refs, I can see why they're not showing any replays.

If it were the occasional comment it wouldn't be so annoying. Maybe we need an official "game" thread and and official "here is how what just happened affected my team" thread.Or maybe I need another rum and coke.

 

[AnonymousBob]

What did DeSean Jackson do? I started watching the game right after that happened.

 

[Moe Green]

McNabb has always been one tough sum##### to bring down.

 

[wolfpackernc]

Was that McNabb trash talking to the fans? I've heard that makes you a punk and horrible human being.

Sincerely,

P. Rivers

Rarely

I missed the sarcasm, I will give you that. I disagree with you. Give him a chance to atone.

 

[BigRed]

For the same reason people think everyone wants a play-by-play ("Westbrook for 5 yds" etc) despite it being avail on a zillion online sites?

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

He's had a couple of targets. On 2nd down, he actually had a target into the endzone that really wasn't that close.

I obviously agree with the second point, and I think that there's basically nothing more worthless than people talking about how their team is doing to scores of people who don't give a #### in a game thread.

 

[jurb26]

Westy is cementing himself as the best player in FF tonight.

 

[biggamer3]

Why didnt Dallas use a TO there

Interesting that this comment would be sandwiched by questions and responses about how much time LJ Smith was seeing.

Yea, there have quite a few shots of McNabb with a big smile on his face. He seems like he just playing a pickup game and having some fun.

 

[zoonation]

I think the Rams d played the Eagles better than this. The Cowboys have no answer.

 

[JGalligan]

What did DeSean Jackson do? I started watching the game right after that happened.

Caught a McNabb tear drop for a sure TD but dropped the ball inches before he crossed the plain of the end zone so he could do his not-even-that-impressive TD celebration.EDIT: That run-on sentence brought to you in part by Bud Light, Jack Daniels, and mixed berry cough drops!

 

[Tecumseh]

He stepped out. Clock should stop, and the Cowboys don't use the t.o.

 

[Moe Green]

Good stop by Dallas D here. I think another Eagles TD before the half would be a bit too much to overcome.

Yup. Just like Rivers. They are hard guys to hate when you realize they just love to play the game.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

LJ Smith looked open to me in the endzone on that last play. With McNabb rolling to his left, he just didn't want to try and make that throw.

 

[scott72]

What's going on with this Dallas secondary? Rodgers and company are gonna tear these guys a new one next week at Lambeau with Driver, Jennings, Jones et al.

 

[sjacksonfan]

Can Kornheiser talk more?

We need a 'classic' smiley.

 

[Lehigh98]

Seriously? 4 points would kill them? There's 51 on the board after one half.

What about T.O.?

it's not the secondary, it's the dline mcnabb has all day back there

I don't know, if they continue to play this way they should be well rested next week, they don't seem to be straining themselves.

 

[Britney Spears]

barber looks bad. They need to get Felix the ball more.

Shocking to hear this from you.

I wasn't the first to say it, and at the time I posted it, Barber was 5 carries for 1 yard to Jones 1 carry for 6 yards (and a foot from breaking a long run) plus over 100 return yards and a TD.

You're the Julius Jones guy, right?

 

[jurb26]

Sweet, I could use a long Folk FG here.

 

[Lehigh98]

Make that (at least) 54 soon.

 

[Ridgelake]

FOLK EM!
