Allegedly tickets to tonight's Niners game can be had for as little as $10. For reference, the cheapest official price for tickets at the start of the season was $110, with the real price usually coming in at twice that. Devoted fan base!

Well, this game shows why this was a coin flip pick pre-snap. You just have no idea who is going to show up. The Niners have no reason to be good today, but they're playing like it's the super bowl.

Maybe it was the pressure that kept them screwed up, and now that they literally have nothing to lose, they can go all-out. I have no idea. Aliens, I suppose.

I think they can do it. NYG is on a slow and steady improvement. I'm wondering if it will save Coughlin's job. I was so disappointed with him earlier, I didn't understand the idea of changing the dropback timing of a SB-champ QB, in fact, I still don't agree with it. You can run a different offensive scheme without changing something so fundamental and basic. Eli is not a child, he can do what you tell him, but if you screw with the timing too much, it can cause problems.

Anyway, Beckham is the most exciting player of the year. And I think he sees the end-zone at least twice next week. Rivalry games in the NFC East are almost always played at balls-out crazy effort in December, and with the NYG having a chance to get revenge for their first game, I don't think they have anything to hold back. That game will be their equivalent to a Superbowl, a way to exit the season on a high note. The fact that the deadskins just torched the Eagles makes it all the more exciting and possible for them.

NYG 33, PHI 20


I like this prediction and your insight on the Giants.

You know if I didnt know better I would take you as a hardcore Giants fan XP

It really comes down to if Eli is given enough time to throw. Eagles have a good run D and decent pass-rush, but their secondary can be easily exposed if the front-7 doesn't disrupt the pocket enough. I don't know how good Nolan Carroll is if Fletcher is bench warming for next week's game, but Beckham can easily pick on Williams.

This is what I feared could happen: Rivers has already two interceptions, including a pick six.

Things are on track to render KC@SD in week 17 meaningless. Looks like the AFC North will send three teams to the playoffs.


What the crap happened to rivers this year?  He has been complete garbage since they played Miami...

Fletcher got benched during the game, but yeah, Eagles' secondary is crap and need better corners (and a safety, too).

EDIT: And Sanchez is a backup QB, at best.


Sanchez is horrible.  I didn't understand all that talk about how he was going to flourish in the Eagles' system.  He'll never be a top tier QB.  Foles, on the other hand, has excellent potential.

I don't know that foles is much better.  I guess we will see how he does next year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles snatching a qb in the draft...
