Arizona won't win another game. We beat them twice. Watch. What happens if we tie at the end?

Going to be a roller coaster until the end.

Lots of ups and downs.

If Arizona shoots as many times as their SPG pierceman was talking about, Lindback is going to give up his fair share. I think they are averaging roughly 28SPG as of late, so it will be interesting to see if that number "drastically" falls for those games.

The Oilers on the other hand are still just as dreadful as before, only they didn't friesale on the deadline, so it still boggles the mind how their offense is so low with so many high picks. Granted that doesn't always equal wins, but talent wise they should have a better GPG

ESPN's Josina Anderson tweeted the following Tuesday night, hours after news broke of the Buffalo Bills' trade with the Philadelphia Eagles:

A source close to LeSean McCoy to me on how the #Eagles RB feels about news of an agreement to trade McCoy to Buffalo:
"He’s a Pennsylvania kid. He’s never played football outside of Pennsylvania—high school, college, pro. So of course he's not happy. Sounds like it’s pretty final to me unless LeSean is refusing to go to Buffalo."

On whether the source believes McCoy will make a trade to Buffalo difficult, in light of McCoy’s initial reaction to the news:
"It'll be interesting to see how this process plays itself out because he's an interesting individual. In your mind, when you think of Buffalo you think of cold and losing games. It’s not like it’s the Philadelphia market where you’re always on t.v. and you’re playing for like the division title or that type of thing…It was unexpected. I'll tell you that much.”

The source on how McCoy is feeling at the moment:
"Honestly, he's frustrated ... It's alright. It's the league. I told him that. I guess he just never experienced that, but he was like 'why me.'"

The source said he thinks McCoy is "not going to make it easy, that's for sure."

The source on whether the trade news was a surprise:
"Honestly we were under the impression the whole time, that eventually at some point, Chip [Kelly] was going to ask LeSean to restructure his contract--not a pay cut, but convert some of his signing bonus."

This could get ugly

It's all about his contract. Watch them restructure his deal so its more guaranteed money but less of a cap hit. It will work out its not like he is leaving a franchise with a winning reputation right like the Pats to come here. It will work out. People still need to get used to this isn't Ralph being tight with his wallet (may he RIP he is the reason there is still a team here)and that T-Peg wants to win.

If they don't win another game and we finished tied they would be ahead of us based on ROW.

They have averaged 29 per game on the season. They have 29 tonight against the Ducks with about 4 minutes left.

What's up brother? Didn't mean to botch your name in that quote

Yeah, I saw they came out of the gates with a bunch of shots, so when they play us, as long as they continue that pace, they should get at least 2 goals. We don't have to lose those games, just not win in regulation

No worries, man. They aren't as bad as a 10 game losing streak. They have a very difficult schedule though. I'm hoping they win a couple games on this home stand. They get the Nucks next. That's a winnable game the way they are playing.

Wow McCoy

before I read the hate posts


1. McCoy is the leading RB for yards in the NFL over the last 4 years
2. McCoy is a great pass catching RB
3. He will be 27 years old this fall
4. Roman did wonders with an aging Gore
5. the Eagles O line may have been worse then ours last season
6. This probably makes Fred Jackson viable for another 2 years
7, The Bills D was ranked in the top 5 w/o Alonso last season
8. No telling how healthy Alonso will be moving forward with that injury
9. Charles makes a blah Alex Smith serviceable for the regular season so one can expect McCoy to make a blah QB better.
10. Trent Dilfer won a SB with a horse for a RB with a great D
11. McCoy is a top 3 RB and Kelly wore the snot out of his RB's on saturdays
12. Philly fans are pissed

I believe we would have the number one spot, because we would have fewer wins in regulation still.

AZ is currently at 16 RW, Buff at 12, so only beating them would put Buffalo at 14.

But there is no way AZ loses 28 games in a row, since they are currently at 10 Ls in a row and they have 18 games left.

if they lose 28 in a row, they kind of deserve the first pick...

the bills/eagles trade took an entire 20 minutes from spit balling to completing

my guess is the eagles made the call to the bills
