You can say that again! If I ever met him I would call him a frakin thief and cheater to his face.

I was hoping for that rare tie.

It is funny people ask me which NFCE team I hate the most that is an easy answer! Of course I hate the Cowboys the most.

However if someone asks me which fan base I hate the most, that is easy too, it is of course Philly. The EGirl fans are by far and away the most obnoxious, the Cowgirl fans are just too superficial to hate.

My most hated owner in all of team sports is by far and away John “you cheating thief” Mara!

Anyone want to take a guess as to who the five inactive players will be?

Here's mine:
- Rex
- Pat White
- Jordan Reed
- Even Royster (this depends is Chris Thompson is the PR or not) (it will be one of those two)
- Chris Neild (only because they are planning to be in nickle and dime all game)

Rex inactive, eh? That would definitely say a lot about RGIII.

I think Pat White is going to be active and on the field for at least one play tonight. And not playing QB.

Pat White will certainly be active - handing out the half time gatorade. Can't see him being in uniform at all though.

The game kicks off after midnight over here in the old world - can't wait :-)

I agree with that, all except Chris Neild. Barry Cofield is playing with a club, so I would guess Chris would be needed tonight.

As a whole, I agree with you on the Philly fan base, but of the fans I know personally, give me the Smeagols over the vaGiants any day.

I think Jordan Reed will be active, and actually play a pretty big role.

I'd love to see this as well. Him and Davis causing mismatches

by **UK Skins Fan** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 4:40 pm

Confirmed inactive players:
White, Grossman, LeRibeus, Meriweather, Gumbs, Neild, Royster.

one thing that stood out to me in preseason was the distribution of passes. Everyone got into the act amongst the recieving core. I look for RGIII to spread the ball around a LOT and hope to see a lot of big plays.
I hope Kyle has RG open up with an 80 yard bomb to Robinson, first play. It would be a nice tone-setter and a turnabout of the blowout a few years back. HTTR

I keep thinking about that, too. But I suspect the Eagles will be looking out for it. I'm thinking that Shanny will want to give RGIII at least one snap to ease himself in, so we can expect to see Morris off-tackle to start.

Alfred, Alfred, short pass to Davis, punt. We all panic. Eagles march down to score 7-0. Then, like the Super Bowl vs. Denver, Robert composes himself and the rout will be on.
