The Official Balding Eagles Discussion Thread

[Pugger]

That list is pretty old, Pug.

5 years or so.

The White boys are mainly safeties.

I don't know of a White corner, no starter anyway.

Sehorn was the last of the Mohican's.

Weddle is the best White DB in the league.

Not that I notice, not that I'm counting, not that I care, etc, etc.

I must be getting old and senile for not looking closer at the date...

Isn't that what the Eagles do on D? They have different cards they hold up to indicate alignment,etc?

Not sure about the D. They used to do it for Offense, but the cards have been put away this season. They now have five different guys signaling plays. Probably one for each position group (QB/backs, O Line, WR/backs) and one or two dummy signals.

'ol Dummy Hoy would be proud!

There's a white corner on the Packers.

Got tickets from a vender we buy materials from at my company. Outdoor club seats, anyone ever sit in that area before? From look of seat map we're at 35 yard line on the Iggles sideline.

He's a Halfrican American.

I don't know about the seats, but you can expect a call from the IRS.

Not sure what you're trying to pull here, mistaking someone's race, but it seems like a dipshit tank-like entry to starting an ongoing argument.

Tight end Brandon Bostick (hip) and linebacker Jayrone Elliott (hamstring) are out. McCarthy said Bostick's injury wasn't long-term. Elliott, who was hurt blocking on CaseyHayward's 82-yard interception return, said he expected to play next week.

Quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) is the only Eagle who won't be available.

Bostick IS Tyrone Davis.

You seem to get mad a lot at misbehaviour. Demanding that a thread be locked. Starting an argument over a bad, sly joke that you accuse of starting an argument. Ignoring works for most.

Darren Sproles versus McCarthy:

Little big man: How to deal with Darren Sproles when he circles out of the backfield has drawn heavy attention from the Packers.

"We're trying to stay out of the matchups they're trying to get in," said McCarthy. "They're stressers if he gets good matchups. He's excellent at it, there's no doubt about it.

"When he releases vertical and he's got the linebacker or your dime back one-on-one, he has the option to go left or right.

"If he comes across your face, you don't have any chance. When you play him you've got to just hang inside or hang outside."

In three games against Green Bay, Sproles has rushed seven times for 27 yards (3.9), caught 12 passes for 119 (9.9), returned four punts for 99 (24.8) and returned eight kickoffs for 243 (30.4).

I'd say Guiness just remembers how tiring ever escalating off-topic arguments can be. You may remember several of the bigger ones. They tend to occur right before your sabbaticals.

Since 2009, the #Packers have been among #NFL's least penalized teams. This year's rules emphasis hasnt changed that http://pck.rs/1qJBYof

Also, the #Packers are 3rd in the #NFL in penalty differential (plus-111) during the McCarthy-Capers Era (h/t http://NFLPenalties.com )

Now that is interesting. I wonder if this is a case of 'better safe than sorry'? Are they being extra careful to make legal tackles, resulting in more misses, but less 15 yard penalties?
