Is Witnessing Redskins Fan Abject Misery Enough to Make This Game Watchable? Let’s Hope So!
You must have some really pivotal fantasy starters in this game (they better be on the Eagles) or else we need to look into some kind of live blog addiction intervention for the lot of you. This game will not be good. It will not be entertaining in the least. Don’t say you weren’t warned. I’m only tuning as a sick form of self-abnegation and to see whether Dan Snyder will dispatch his stormtroopers to cudgel the first poor sap dumb enough to stick a sign in front of an ESPN camera that suggests the team should be sold. Six Flags in PG has been an internment camp for such foolhardy fans for the previous three years. Somehow nobody has noticed.

Can’t we just want to blog to make fun of the Redskins? Or is that like picking on the elderly?
I mean, the retarded elderly?
Ok, the retarded quadriplegic elderly?

Hey we only have limited time before those retarded quadriplegic elderly are killed off…

The game will be entertaining, however, if you have a $50 seven team parlay that wins if the Eagles win by 8. I should go ahead and order the hookers and blow now, right?
/$50 seven team parlays are stupid

Down 24 with Westbrook, Celek, and Cooley left to go for myself. Roommate die hard Redskins fan on verge of murder spree/suicide. Bar I’ll watch the game at notorious Eagles fan hangout.
Should be good.

@ clueheywood : if I were you I’d put $500 on the Skins and call it a night. Worst case scenario you make $500. Best case you still profit over $3000. And no one kicks in a television.

Over 37, over 37, over 37, over 37, over 37!
October 26th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
It’s entertainment enough. Another Redskins loss means epic day at the office tomorrow.

Holding off someone with McNabb going tonight, up 27 points. If he pulls this off, I’ll eat my hat. If Andy Reid hasn’t already.
October 26th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
I’ve got B. Celek tonight. Sadly he could have a quasi-Miles Austinesque night and my sad ass would be hepled very little.

I just got a tweet from Maj. He’s being held in Snyder’s internment camp. He wants someone to pick him up at the southwest corner of the camp. He’ll be the one in the sweet hoodie singing “We Shall Overcome” acapella.

1. Compelling point: this is an NFC East division game. NFC East games tend to be brutal, no matter how disparate it might appear the quality of the teams involved is, so I wouldn’t dismiss this outright as an easy win for the Eagles.
2. More compelling point: Andy Reid fucking sucks and so do the Eagles. In Week 5, the Raiders got obliterated by the Giants 44-7 and wouldn’t have scored at all if Sinorice Moss wasn’t a retard (he flubbed a punt deep in Giants territory that set up Oakland’s only score). In Week 7, Jamarcus Russell didn’t make it to halftime and the Raiders got shut-out 38-0. In between in Week 6? The Raiders defense put McNabb on his ass all day and the Philly defense allowed Jamarcus Russell to complete 60% of his passes (20 points higher than his season average), with the hapless Raiders pulling out the win in a game where the Eagles didn’t pull even or have the lead for the last 47 minutes. Point being, don’t discount the Eagles ability to fuck this up and blow the game. The Eagles don’t have one of the best defensive coordinators of all time (Jim Johnson (R.I.P.)) and the quarterback of their defense (Brian Dawkins) any more to bail out Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb’s fat asses.

As a Redskins fan I pray that the stadium is empty or at worst case filled with green. Also should you go to a Redskins game for whatever reason, at least boycott the concessions.

Also, facepalm Redskin > facepalm Eagle
October 26th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Anyone wanna offer free advice out of the kindness of their heart?
I’ve got my choice of Celek or Cooley to complement Portis and the Eagles D.
My opponent has Redskins D and Desean.

Did DeSean Jackson just say “The things I do are unpossible”?
Flippin’ sweet!
October 26th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
@miamidiesel – agreed. Andy Reid is an idiot of the highest order. Shonn Greene had 144 yards rushing against the Raiders. Thomas Jones had 121 in the same game. So why did Brian Westbrook have only 50 yards rushing against a defense that gave up over 300 the following week? Because Reid only gave him the ball 8 goddamned times.
I’ve met meth-addicted strippers that make better decisions than that man. God, what a moron.
October 26th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
@Zack – it boggles my mind how much the talking heads on TV keep saying that Reid is a great coach and ridiculing the calls from Philly fans to put his rotund ass out to pasture. When you’ve been coaching for this long and you haven’t figured out fundamental things like clock management and balanced play-calling, well, you’ve probably reached a point of FAIL and need to get the fuck out.

+1 to the production crew for zooming in on London just in time for the Willie Beamen.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
thanks for shutting that one down early, Ape– what a clusterfuck
October 26th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Thanks again for the liveblog boys.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Thanks for making this game barely tolerable. There’s no way in hell I would watch this in any way, shape or form otherwise.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
@Flubby
It was like an intervention.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
I’ve got nothing going on two weeks from now do you think Snyder would let me take a shot at calling plays against the Falcons following the bye week?
October 27th, 2009 at 12:00 am
Thanks guys. I was stuck watching that shit no matter what for fantasy matchups, and you made it go down a lot easier.
I love how Steve Young is correcting Scott and Millen about concatenation AND GETTING IT WRONG. I hope their plane gets lost on some deserted island in the Bermuda triangle and that none of those 3 dipshits is heard from again.
October 27th, 2009 at 12:23 am
How Matt Millen has a job in football is beyond me. Listening to him giving out football advice is like listening to Rush Limbaugh give advice on race relations.

i got a book signed by bill simmons. would anyone have thought it was funny if i made him write “I love Drew Margary” or “Drew Margary sucks” or something like that?
October 27th, 2009 at 1:22 am
I fell asleep somewhere around the 2nd quarter. What did I miss?
October 27th, 2009 at 1:25 am
just got back from the game. 11 beers + lots of eagles fans + lots of empty seats = best game ever, even if the eagles played kinda sloppy
October 27th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Can I just get a link to the facepalm pic? That would be an excellent background for my Cowboys-likin’ ass.
October 27th, 2009 at 9:28 am
yuck yuck. let’s use the word retarded a little and really make your point. Ugh. Hate it when 7th graders are allowed to comment on blog sites.
