Too bad the Eagles aren't very good, we may have been able to see the Trollhawks in action again.

An inconsequential game on a night that no one wants to watch NFL anyway.

Seriously farking hate Thursday games...

Wait, are you referencing your own Yakkety Sax box in your submission? Forcing a meme is below you, Di!

/though it is quite appropriate for this match-up

I say Seattle wins this.

Pratty: I say Seattle wins this.

Only if Philly screws up. Oh, shiat...

Seriously, though, this is going to be a matchup between a shiatty offense against a shiatty defense (Seattle/Philly), and a great run D against a good run O (Seattle/Philly). If Philly knew what they were doing, they would pick on Seattle's corners all night long, and also give Brent Celek a good number of throws, as Seattle's LBs are banged up now. Seattle's only hope is that the defense scores or that Philly fumbles numerous times (a la the Ravens). Otherwise, Philly carries the (Thurs)day. Seattle's offense has been completely impotent the past few weeks (well, for all but a few games this season), and with Baldwin hurting, Rice done, and Williams back to his old school self, there's no targets for Jackson, if he could actually throw the ball. So, Seattle's offense is basically Marshawn Lynch. And, every once in a while, Golden Tate. Uhhh...and that's it. Thank goodness for their defense.

Speak for yourself. I'm down for football any day of the week.

Hey, crappy football is better than no football!

I guess I'm biased since Thursday is my busiest day of the week.

And I'm being a pissy biatch because I'm understaffed today with lots of entitled and biatchy customers walkin in the door...

_{grumble grumble grumble}

robsul82: Hey, it's football, the Delhomme RatingTM provides entertainment no matter who's playing (and may in fact provide more if it's two shiatty teams), I'm down.

huh.. just checked this week's schedule, and I think for the first time ever, I'm glad I'm in Atlanta's crappy market, so I get to watch Falcons-Texans.
For that game, I think we need a DelCON meter to measure the likelihood and imminence of Jake coming into the game.

Interesting fact I dug up while trying to decide who I'm picking in this one: Over the last three games, Seattle is averaging 21 ppg. Philadelphia is averaging 18. The Iggles have their own injury issues as well, Seattle is a notoriously difficult stadium for undisciplined visiting teams, and Marshawn has been running very well of late. Finally, I love rooting against the Eagles.

I'm going with Seattle.

PPG doesn't tell the whole story. In the game against the Ravens, they had a short field for most of the night, and were starting in the red zone several times--and only gained a few yards each time. Against the Redskins, they sucked. Against the Browns, they sucked harder. And they beat the Rams, possibly the only team with a worse offense (in the NFC). I like Seattle as a fan, but if they win, it will be because of Philly, not because of what they do (as with the Ravens, and the Giants), and if they lose, it will be because the other team generally did not make the mistakes Seattle would need to succeed. Their pass offense is in complete shambles. I would say Philly here, if they stay disciplined and keep the ball.

PHI/SEA under 44.

Hahaha TOILET BOWL

/suck it Vick

Inexplicable things happen in that stadium. Seattle wins this one and somehow scores 40 points.

And after a disappointing first half, the Dream Team has its final nail in the coffin down 21-10 with no life from its offense. And here comes the Eagles out of the tunnel, lead by Riley Cooper? Where's Vince Young? Vince Young is not on the sideline. Early reports indicate that he was beaten in the locker room by an irate fan in a Santa costume backstage.

Wait a second, is that the Campbell's Chunky Soup jingle?

BAH GAWD THAT'S DONOVAN MCNABB'S MUSIC

/say what you will, but he would almost always get them to the playoffs

LandStander: Can someone explain to a casual fan how the Delhomme Rating is calculated? I get that it's a measure of suckitude but not the subtleties

I believe it is number of turnovers divided by 6, with 6 turnovers going Full Delhomme.

Mad amount of Philly fans walking around downtown Seattle today. Please don't burn us down!

/I keed, I keed

robsul82: Hey, it's football, the Delhomme RatingTM provides entertainment no matter who's playing (and may in fact provide more if it's two shiatty teams), I'm down.

#2 made me drop Vick and pick up Young. So help me god, if Young picks up a Jake I am short-sheeting #2's bed.

Also, the above description of the Jake is eloquent and beautiful.

Also, hey, did you hear they fired Del Rio?

antidisestablishmentarianism: TheManofPA: /say what you will, but he would almost always get them to the playoffs

Not just McNabb but Reid. I don't understand why Philly hates him so much. He has brought you how many years of winning teams? Since 1999 he has brought you only 2 losing seasons and a super bowl appearance.

Because they'd probably have a ring or two without Reid.

It's like how Norv Turner is 45-30 in San Diego and this is his first losing season in San Diego, but we all know he sucks.

Technical Delhomme - any 6 turnovers by a QB
Full Delhomme - 5 INTs and a lost fumble
Natural Delhomme - a Full Delhomme in the playoffs
Perfect Delhomme - a Natural Delhomme favored at home on the QB's birthday
Reverse Delhomme - 1 rushing and 5 passing touchdowns

6 turnovers by a QB in a single game is a rare feat since most sane coaches tend to pull their QB before that happens

So much this.

Yakkety Sax box? A reference to the Sunday thread? Who's up for another one of these?



/can't recall if that's the final version, it's the last one I saved.

You know, some teams would like to have 9 winning seasons out of 12. I'm looking at you Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Miami.

As a Cincinatti fan, I would too. But the thing is once you keep having winning seasons, your expectations start to rise. Reid IMO should have won some Super Bowl and I think another really great coach may have. I dunno. A lot of time his playcalling just seems bad(See: Last week, 10 McCoy rushes to 48 Vince Young passes).

Much appreciated. :) Here's a bunny:

4NSpy: PHI/SEA under 44.

Once again I'm taking the over to your under. Worked out OK for me on Monday.

Well, this should be entertaining if nothing else.

Robsul82 and Jake fans: today is DeSean Jackson's 25th birthday. Could a WR go full-Jake tonight?

AdmirableSnackbar: Robsul82 and Jake fans: today is DeSean Jackson's 25th birthday. Could a WR go full-Jake tonight?

Well if he somehow threw 5 INTs...

/Or will he fumble it 5 times and throw 1 INT?

I'd vote for this one.

Touched down in Seattle an hour ago. Nasty business on I-5; if the stadium is somewhat empty for a while, you know why.

/Wish I was going to the game
//Looks like a couple of news choppers in the air

We'll see. Hoping the short week of the eagles D being yelled at after their game vs NE has them clamp down.

Eagles and Seahawks get together, create Turkey.

/Still better than Browns-Seahawks game.
