Forget about the rest of your work week, Thursday Night Football is on tonight! The NFL Network has a pretty interesting contest for us tonight, as the imploding “Dream Team” travels northwest to far off Seattle to take on a young and “always tough at home” Seahawks squad. Who’s ready for the death of a dream?
(4-7) Philadelphia Eagles at
(4-7) Seattle Seahawks
Oh man. This Eagles season has been absolutely freaking delightful. And it could all come crashing down to a violent and decisive ending if they lose tonight. Vince Young has the helm for a third straight week, but he’ll be missing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin again. So Andy Reid, I have a suggestion for you. One that should save you from all the ungodly hours you’re rumored to be putting in lately. Hand the f###ing ball off to LeSean Mccoy. (It he can carry it, that is. Kinda injured.) He’s really good and you might be able to control the ball and keep your own craptastic defense off the field. Just a thought.
For Seattle, it’s time for some good old fashioned home cooking. The Seahawks are always somehow better at home. This is the same team that handed it to the Ravens in week ten, so anything is possible tonight. Tarvaris Jackson has been surprisingly… not horrible as of late, but the key to a win for the ‘Hawks is their solid run defense against McCoy and getting Marshawn Lynch going on the ground. From there it’s all about ramping up that home field advantage and suckering an undisciplined Philly team into dumb mistakes.
Let the destruction commence! Enjoy your Thursday night!
