I'm sure the harbaugh's are proud of there little D bags.

Still stunned Jeff Saturday is the starting center for Green Bay. Dude has to be a hall of famer

[shmenguin]

I think we can all agree that they are both pretty suspect.

back to football....

i'd never agree to put the 2 in the same sentence. that's not a good stopping point.

Mason Crosby's dramatic fall is pretty crazy this year

[JS©]

Philly was right, Crosby sucks.

[shafnutz05]

If Martellus Bennett is hurt, it's on Tom Coughlin. Passing when it is 38-10

[Rylan]

I remember when Mason Crosby was money.

No question.

Additionally, based on some of the comments here...some people actually believe this Baltimore team isn't as good as the Steelers...hmph...to each his own I guess...

If both teams are completely healthy I'd pick the Steelers. If Ben was healthy I'd pick the Steelers, but currently the Ravens are doing the things the Steelers aren't doing to win games.

the gap has widened between roethlisberger and flacco this year. enough that, when healthy, the steelers are definitely better.

The Steelers are a mess right now and they may be in trouble for a couple of years. After this year, Wallace and Mendenhall are both likely gone. Ben is over 30 and has nothing behind him to be a band aid. The OL appears to be getting better, but we still haven't seen DeCastro in action and Adams looks to be hurt now. The RB situation looks disasterous. The defense could be without all of the following; Foote, Harrison, Kiesel, Hampton, Lewis. There is no young depth on this team. Hood seems to be out of place playing 2 gaps. Worilds is a huge question. There is nothing at ILB. No young safety help for when Polamalu gets hurt again and Clark gives himself another concussion. Woodley shows up out of shape and ends up with chronic hamstring problems because of it and can't stay on the field. They are in need of a huge infusion of young talent. The bigger thing they need is discipline. Tomlin allows them to continually be unprepared for teams that are worse than they are and the penalties are out of control. I think that about sums up what I see right now.

bring your brooms cuz its a mess

[71Aj66ax87]

Everyone can think he's a tool, doesn't bother me in the slightest. He's brought the 49ers back to respectability, and as long as he keeps winning he can be as big of a tool/d-bag as he needs to be.

Winning football games doesn't erase the fact that he's a jack wagon.

It does in Pittsburgh

That picture has DERP written all over it.

DID YOU KNOW: The Phillies have won a game more recently than the Eagles. The Eagles last won on Sept. 30, the Phillies last won on Oct. 1.

[shmenguin]

well this is just about the worst crowd i've ever seen at an NFL game.

[Lt. Dish]

The hub's watching his Eagles and I hear a lot of LOLing. Philly fans are entertaining as hell when they're piling on their own teams.

14-12 and Reid goes for the tie with a 2pt conversion

...with 12 minutes left

...in the 2nd quarter

I'm rooting for him to bust open the vault of crazy tricks. It'll make for a hilarious farewell tour.

Why not? It's not like they have anything to lose.

[MRandall25]

Guess he feels like he truly has nothing to lose.

[PghSkins]

Why am I watching this?

Why are they not flexing ESPN games?

[thehockeyguru]

So who claims Jason Babin?

[Ad@m]

So who claims Jason Babin?

Jaguars

[shafnutz05]

Not saying that Babin wasn't largely to blame for his failures in Philly this year, but it is absolutely incredible just how systemic the disaster is in the Eagles organization. Starting with Jim Washburn's horrific wide-9 scheme that has been utterly exploited. Nnamdi and DRC looking like lost babes in the secondary, not helped by their two bad safeties. Bad offensive playcalling. Horrible personnel decisions. Did you know that since the Eagles fired Juan Castillo, opposing QBs are something like 14 TDs, 0 INT, and a 75% or so completion percentage? I'm pretty sure every single QB they have faced since the bye has had a QB rating over 120.

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Andy Reid is a goner, but this organization is in bad, bad shape. And Nick Foles doesn't exactly appear to be the answer.
