Skins vs. Eagles Game Thread

discuss the game here

God I hate the Eagles. I Seriously would give anything to watch them win today. I'm not going in with the highest hopes, but I really would like to see a good game where we compete with them. If we just get blown out I'll be pissed. I'm hoping Ramsey has a big game, we feed the ball to Portis alot. Our defense will be tested today too...Nothing would be a better birthday present for me, even though its next week.. ... then turning on Primetime tonight and hearing Berman talk about how freaking great the ealges are, how they kick everyones ass, then end his discussion with " AND THATS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME "

There are signs that Portis may have a good chance. Not only is Philly's run defense not what it used to be (they are relying on Trotter to fix the problem, for Christ's sake), but Ramsey's presence means they can't overload the box. Brunnel's recent arm strength hasn't kept safeties from playing up close. Patrick has a lot more range and a lot more zip. We should run for a better average today than usual.

We're down to the diehards at our local bar. I need a wireless laptap, so I can get on these threads from the bar. We have nothing to lose and this game is more important for Philly in the race for homefiled advantage. It would be nice if we could be the cause of them going on the road in the playoffs.

Eagles D will be exposed. Just hope we can man up with safety (taylor) over the top on owens and not get burned too bad.

Our game plan should be to either take McNabb out or Owens or both. Hahaha...we have to be out for blood in this one! I think if we can stick with a Portis game plan we can hang in there with the Eagles.

ive got a good feeling about an upset today.

Again, do I go to a bar by myself, or listen online...I hate not having direct tv...

Ready to go here....

GREAT start

Very fortunate penalty
