Detroit Talk!

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Brian Westbrook has the most targets of any pass catcher on the Eagles. Total of 20, with 14 receptions, and 112 yards. That gives him a reception percentage of 70%.

The next guy after him is Kevin Curtis. 16 targets, 6 receptions for 81 yards. Reception percentage: 37.5%.

Third is Reggie, 14 targets, 3 receptions, 41 yards. Percentage: 21.4%

Jason Avant, 9 targets, 8 receptions, 109 yards, one TD. Percentage: 89%

Reggie is the lowest in the league among players with at least five targets, Curtis is in the bottom ten. Awesome.

[Quasimoto]

Will James vs Calvin Johnson.    Confidence levels are high.

He's going to have 2 TDs at least.

[PhillyPhreak54]

What will really be awesome is if JT O'Sullivan plays QB and lites 'em up.

[Quasimoto]

I can't believe they're giving us 7 points on the spread. 

Bet the house on Detroit.

Most of the misses to Curtis have been long bombs thrown well beyond him or out of bounds.  It's not like he's been wide open, but McNabb's also not giving him an opportunity to make a play.

Brown's been really awful.

Avant's been stellar.  No complaints.  However, he has to be a bit more careful with the ball after the catch.  He almost fumbled on the TD in Green Bay and then again on a catch against the skins.

Will James vs Calvin Johnson.    Confidence levels are high.

He's going to have 2 TDs at least.

Two pick sixes for James?  Nice!

i cant believe this either...but it makes me feel very confident...in fact i love the eagles because of how much of a sucker bet it is

[Quasimoto]

Lost in the McNabb brouhaha is the fact that we're going to lose to Detroit and everythings going to be even messier than it was before.

Calvin Johnson is gonna have his NFL coming out party against Will James. 

[Magical_Retard]

is lito out for sure or is there a chance he plays.

wont matter really...i predict 24-7 lions. our offense finally but not much more and det has its way against our secondary. i can just imagine considine being stiff armed by one of thier WRs.

also i predict another 1 yd screen pass to greg lewis.

[ice grillin you]

if they lose to detroit at home and i dont think they will
i mean come on farging detroit?
but if they do then start the implosion
beginning with the benching and possible trading of mcnabb

Two things working for the Eagles.  The sucker bet and those AWESOME THROWBAX!

[ice grillin you]

most importantly detroit sucks...i dont give a shtein how many good wr's they have

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Normally, I feel that in any NFL game, especially ones early in the season, there is a chance for either team to pull off a win. Not this time. Short of a disastrous injury for the Lions, the Eagles lose this game.

Think about it. The offense has show ZERO ability to put points on the board. The defense, while it has shown to be somewhat solid, is not going to stop Detroit from scoring 20+ points. And as I stated, there is no proof the Eagles offense can match that.

If they came out and just pounded the ball non-stop with West, Hunt, and Buck, then I'd feel a win would be in the bank. Remember who is setting up the gameplan as we post away...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Calvin Johnson has a place this week on my 1st place Salary Cap League team.

[SunMo]

the only good thing that came from Monday night was that we were able to save one of our tailgating buddies from buying a throwback knockoff in the parking lot...they are farging hideous

[reese125]

I hate to say it, but -7 is a magic number for the favorite in the betting world. Eagles look good.

Just saying
