"Specialists K David Akers, Eagles. After finishing No. 2 in 2009, his total of 143 points was good for the scoring title. "
not very clutch though
he failed deeply last weekend! he made those 2 kicks, we win! i swear he had to miss a few all year, and he's always been good in the playoffs before. i donno what happened, i know it was windy, but cmon...
2-3 years ago you never heard shit about the nfl talking about making it 18 games...i think they made all of this up just to use it as a bargaining chip...something they will give up to gain something they truly want....i don't think they really have any intention of going to 18 games
Hahahahaha no, I believe they would definitely do this for more money.
i feel bad for akers. one bad game out of all the ones he's been great. he's the bill buckner of Philly
Buckner was way worse, he fucked up the championship. but Akers still fucked up hard, but i havent heard alot of chatter about Akers, everyones bitching about Reid not running the ball again. McCoy only had 12 carries against the Pack who's known for being shitty against the run. Reid just refuses to run, nothing the fans can do.
Reports came out after the Eagles loss that Akers was dealing with personal issues that week. Thats still not a pass when you have the entire team depending on you but that explains a little bit because Akers is usually pretty good in those situations.
Yeah....Akers wouldn't have to make so many field goals if the Eagles' so-called "explosive" offense could score more than a TD a game.
^this
this i think also geos back to running the ball, everyone including us knows they aint gonna run the fuckin ball, you think the packers dont know this, makes it easier on the D. I dont blame the players for the loss, i still blame the coach. you have to run the ball in the playoffs, i dont care whooz at QB or WR. it's not like we have bums in the backfied, McCoy been great and Harrison has been good in short yeardage situations. I just cant explain why they wont run, its fucked up...

even though it infuriates me, i cant really blame him on the first one it was far into 20mph winds, but he definately should have made the 2nd then at the end we woulda needed a field goal to tie instead of Vick trying to be superman and throw a game loosing interception, then he says " at least i went out swinging" i wanted to punch a hole through my TV.
