The Official Balding Eagles Discussion Thread

[Tyrion Lannister]

Large scale talent drain. Receivers weren't world class to begin with, but they left and were replaced with dreck. The Patriots, who have had receiver troubles of their own, took LaFell away from them. Jason Avant was the big addition. They do still have Olsen.

Its not the only problem; the D has collapsed and Newton doesn't look good or healthy. But the GM did a mini rebuild last year.

Ah, I recall reading something in September or October about Steve Smith being pissed with the Panthers GM.

Next off-season, the GM oughta trade Kuechly to the Packers for AJ Hawk and and 1st and 3rd picks.

Nostalgia fans should go watch civil war re-enacters, or better yet attend a renaissance faire on Sunday

Or they could come over to my house and watch my home movies.

Throwback uniforms are dumb, they have tiny numbers that can't be picked up on TV. Ya, it was cute once or twice - enough!

The players numbers are not small like the originals. I understand the players love the pants with these uniforms. Evidently they are more comfortable than the regular yellow ones.

What's the Packers record in their throwback uniforms - cause their wearing them on Sunday. That's the only thing that matters right now.

Not the ones with the shit brown helmets?

Didn't realize the Case-Maker is still with the Balding Eagles. A quick google search indicates that Casey Matthews is splitting time at ILB with another balding Eagle in place of an injured DeMeco Ryan.

ya, ya Casey is only getting playing time cause 4 guys ahead of him are hurt.

way to piss on a good story, a-hole

Yes, the natural fabrics are more comfortable against the skin, and the goldenrod is more flattering than the harsh yellow.

Just get out.

Last year they had to wear their yellow helmets because the NFL said they had to wear the same helmets they're wearing for the rest of the games. But yeah, it's the blue jerseys with yellow circle in the middle.

As far as I'm concerned, this Eagles game is going to be pivotal, maybe not with regard to the standings, but with regard to my opinion of this team. Arguably the Eagles are the best team the Packers will face to date. A top flight offense, a great running game, an arsenal of misdirection plays, great team speed, a defense on par with the Packers and league leading special teams.

If the Packers are truly an elite team with prospects of going deep in the playoffs or even the Superbowl, this game against the Eagles at home is one that they should win. Their performance in this game will tell us a lot about this team.

I like them a whole lot better than some alternatives:

Low to mid 20s...possible light snow...relatively breezy...sounds like perfect weather for the USC preppie boy to pull another butt fumble in.

After having lived in Cali for 20 years, I can't tell you how good that sounds. I actually have a little chubby.

Packers add Alex Gillett to their practice squad. In a stunning example of racial diversity, the Packers now have 2 white WR's on their 53, 1 on injured reserve, and 1 on their practice squad. 2 if you include Myles White.

Yep - what he said. We'll score in this game, but so will the Eagles. I'm worried about the Packer Defense. We can't have another game like in New Orleans.

Great post and I agree. We have to beat a playoff caliber team at some point to prove we belong. Are we pretenders or contenders? This game will go a long way to swaying the needle to either side.

Now let's see them pick up a white corner back.
