Not sure, just heard it on the news update. Green Bay has a shot of a perfect season this year. They won’t pussy out of it like the Colts. ---

Cutler getting back to save that TD while fighting off 2 blockers might have been his best play of the game. ---

Well, that was a crazy two plays. Busted faked punt then Rivers throws an int. while trying to throw it away. ---

Wow, terrible play call by the Bears on the fake punt, even worse play by Rivers when he couldn’t even successfully throw a ball away. ---

Philip Rivers is the new Jay Cutler ---

Incidentally, that was an awesome play design on the fake punt, just a pointless, dangerous baffling time to call it. Between that and the Knox trick against the Packers, we’ve burned to awesome trick plays on special teams for no result. ---

I don’t think it was dangerous. It was basically a choice with no real downside. ---

> [@Jules\_Andre](#): > > I don’t think it was dangerous. It was basically a choice with no real downside. Well, two scores in 1:40 isn’t unheard of. If you don’t get the first, then you’re giving SD ~30 yards for their first try. I think the upside probably warranted it. Although you also have to take the meta game into consideration. That play might not work in the future now. ---

One drive in: Vince Young looks awful to decent play to play and the Eagles get flagged for two really awful calls. Nothing surprising, especially the lack of running. ---

Both offenses are looking bad so far. But that hit on Eli was a block in the back and a cheap shot. I don’t care what the announcers say. ---

I can’t imagine any way Desean Jackson lives up to his next contract. He’s the most obvious candidate for regression after getting paid that I’ve ever seen. ---

Lol up to three or four penalties called by announcers not called for Eagles. Gee whiz ---

Taunting shouldn’t be a penalty. Although with the penalties and fines for legal hits, the self policing has probably decreased. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > Forget it. I’m a kinder, gentler Hamlet. It’s one thing to say James Harrison gets held on every play. It’s another to now have three different replays where the announcers chuckle about the Eagles not getting a call. Three times now. Open your eyes, it’s right on TV. ---

It’s another to now have three different replays where the announcers chuckle about the Eagles not getting a call. Three times now. Open your eyes, it’s right on TV. There are holds on almost every play. It is silly to bitch about it. At least your QB was not taken down on a dirty and late hit. So consider your Eagles lucky.
