Eagles on the winning drive?? I dont think they'll do it.

[DrinknHarp]

think the Eagles will pull it off here after the punt.

Hate Jerry Jones and want to see him with that sour puss face after a loss.

Westbrooks neck has to be 3 inches longer  with every Dallas player grabbing his facemask.......ouch.

Stupid penalty!
Come on Mc Nabb

Great Defence! Feckers
Hail Mary Time!

What the hell was that!!

[DrinknHarp]

HORRIBLE play call.

Great game all the same.

[thejuice]

the defense just didnt fall for it, poor decision.

The nicest feeling in the world - is to not be sweating a game in the second half.

Puck put the house on the over yesterday - bet was in at half time. Makes up for that donkey parlay that let me down at the weekend.


The Eagles moved the ball well, but were handed a couple of relatively easy TDs. Romo's fumble was not a smart move - but what about deshaun Jackson - what an ass. Can you imagine what would be said in the locker room after that?

Dolphins 38
Patriots 13

hows about that. Giants got it done against the Bengals in OT, as did the Bucs Vs Bears. Brian Westbrook out with a bad ankle

Detroit fans rejoice!!

Matt Millen got the sack. In what must have been the daftest appointment in the history of sport back in 2001 to make a man who has no-experience of the job or business side of the NFL the GM of the Detroit Lions, he took them from a middling team to being one of the worst in NFL history.

In spite of the NFL's structure which helps weaker teams get the best players, the Lions flew in the face of that picking WR after WR believing that it was only a matter of time before QB Joey Harrington would start getting the results like his golf playing cousin Padraig.

But the truly remarkable thing about Millens reign is how long it lasted despite the terrible results.

cowboys look like a cert this year
can't see the jets going anywhere - though hope Favre sticks around for another season
not sure if the giants are just warming up - Plaxico hasn't been on form yet and after their performance against the bengals I can't see them threatening
Eagles looked good but with westbrook out where do they go?

after the football is over at home the football here definitely makes the winter a little more bearable
