Tag-Team Blogging With Tadd (Shh…He Doesn’t Know)

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

I’m going to piggyback off of Tadd’s recent post about our beloved Eagles. Not only will they clinch a playoff berth with 1win out of the next 2, but if they win out against Dallas (away) and Atlanta (home), they will win the division. Again, with no D-Nabb.

If I remember correctly, it was another McNabbless Eagles in 2005 that made it to the Super Bowl, on the back of one A.J. Feeley. If we can do it with Feeley, I’m sure Garcia will be just fine.

Can we do it again? Of course.

Still in The Hunt

Monday, December 11th, 2006

My precious Eagles are still in the hunt for the playoffs. We’re currently sitting on the last spot for the NFC playoffs, with the final wild card, right behind the NY Giants, who we play next week. It shall be interesting. If we lose, we get another shot by playing Atlanta in the game-ender. Defense needs to sharpen up, and as long as Garcia keeps playing mistake-free football, we’re good.

By the way, I’m mutilating all-comers in fantasy football. It’s almost ridiculous. My team?

  • Carson Palmer
  • LaDainian Tomlinson
  • Steven Jackson
  • Brian Westbrook
  • Marvin Harrison
  • Donte Stallworth
  • L.J. Smith
  • Robbie Gould
  • Packers DEF

My Bench:

  • Brett Favre
  • David Garrard
  • Maurice Jones-Drew (should’ve started him this past week)
  • Darrell Jackson
  • Torry Holt
  • Desmond Clark

It’s really not even fair. There are weeks when my bench beats many teams in the league. I only had the fourth pick in the draft (picked LT, of course, it was a no-brainer for me). It’s an eight team league. I’m out in front at 11-2 with over 1600 points. Next in line? 9-4 with over 1400. I should retire.

MVP Gone. Season? Still TBD.

Donovan’s out for the year. Yeah, devastating. I can’t believe it either. The Eagles’ season? Usually OK. We went to the Bowl two years ago on the arm of AJ Feeley and Koy Detmer. Maybe we’ll be ok. But we looked terrible against Tennessee.
