The hope is that he recovers from his knee injury and that he has only been playing at 80% this year. Time will tell. I know Abraham must be pissed that he can at least get to the backfield and Edwards is stuck at the line.

WTF he sounds like a dick.
The Eagles have their opponents for next year up. If they beat Wash, and the Giants beat Dallas they will place the 2nd place team in the North and West, Lions and Seahawks.
2012
HOME AWAY
ATL NO
CAR TB
BAL CLE
CIN PIT
NFC North NFC West
That is a tough schedule. I really feel for whoever wins the NFC East. GB and SF make that a brutal schedule.

Yeah I will eat crow for that one. I thought Edwards would have been better because Babin had just one good year whereas Edwards had played well opposite Allen for a couple of seasons.
Right now on paper, the schedule looks absolutely brutal. All the more reason they need to go heavy again on D to shore up the weaknesses.

Yeah there are no easy games next year. Eagles better show up and play their best week fucking 1. No more of this starting slow and finishing fast crap.

Raji made the Pro Bowl because he's on the Packers. Every Goddamn Packer was on the Pro Bowl list at the middle of the season.
That was just the fan vote though - it surprises me that enough coaches and players went with it.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Have all had not so great years, yet managed to make the pro bowl. the whole thing is a crock of shit popularity contest.
edit: and I could add another 5 guys to this thread easy.
He should also write "CAM NEWTON" with a thick ass marker on Robert Griffin just in case.
He's done what I expected him to. Played an integral role in stopping the run, while not doing much to put pressure on the QB. Too many people were expecting him to put up 9+ sacks alongside Abraham, when in reality, Edwards was never really that type of player in Minnesota.
Oh, I understand a lot of players make it like that, but he just seems especially out of place to me considering he was brought up almost weekly on the boards about not really doing much of anything during the games this season.

We actually watch the games.
Look at it this way - Nobody outside of Green Bay even heard about BJ Raji until he caught that interception from Caleb Hanie in the NFC Championship. Within the next three weeks he nicknames himself (The Freezer, WTF ever buddy) then wins the Super Bowl. Now his name is out there and that's really all you need to make the pro bowl, especially when you're a defending Super Bowl champion and go on a 14 game winning streak the next year.
Holy shit he called out Vince Young too? Great now our back up is going to go commit suicide
Bring back McNabb!
To back up Vick. Imagine all the trick plays!

I actually do think the Eagles will sign Mcnabb this offseasn, Westbrook and Dawkins to.
So they can all retire as Eagles.

edit: I keep dreaming about getting a PS3, so there's that.
Get Pushmo! You have til March to get a PS3. MLB is the only game worth playing on it.

I downloaded Pushmo this morning. I'll play it when I get home.
Also, I really wanna play Demon's/Dark Souls.
I'm not losing sleep over it - the name just stood out to me on the list is all.
Buy one and play a game of something with me online. Madden crushes my PS3 spirit every year when I see the numbers the 360 community topic pulls.

Get a PS3, there are so many great games for it.

Not sure if posted and too lazy to check but here's a nice Cam article from Yahoo:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_y...r_cam_newton_panthers_jamarcus_russell_122911
I especially liked this quote in response to why he faced so much criticism and doubt:
dat cam, such a huge fan, go get em! I wanna see the face of that dumb SportingNews guy who buried Cam's personality traits before the draft without ever meeting him. That fuckin bastard

I am in the PS3 community but whenever I log on I don't see anyone else.
I think we played once.
Pushmo is amazing. I also just bought VVVVVV on the eShop, so good!
It was posted and quotes like 5 posts above yours.

Truth is I only want to play a couple: Demons/Dark Souls, Valkryia Chronicles, The Show, and have a machine for Madden (though apparently everybody has the 360 version)
Mulitplatform stuff I'll just get for PC like usual.
Too bad you missed those deals on Thanksgiving week. I think I remember seeing a deal on Slickdeals for a PS3 for $250 plus a $75 gift card thrown in. Maybe Amazon? Today you can get a 160GB version for $250, or a 320GB Uncharted bundle for $299 on Amazon.
:jnc
Yeah, that was the only community game I've played since launch. I just stopped logging in to Madden online after seeing the depressing 0/X members online for the 20th time.

What machine do you have for Madden that isnt a 360 or PS3?
I bet he has 200+ games logged on Madden for Wii.
Dark Souls in on the 360. Multiplat games are gawdawful on the PS3 as a rule. MLB and Valkyria Chronicles.....make my owning a PS3 well worth it. Also, MLB.tv

FYI there's a rumor that Madden 13 will mark the return of Madden to the PC. The rumor was just some random topics in the Madden forum at easports.com so it's probably not true buttttttttt we'll see.

LOL yeah, right. It'd be the last Madden I ever bought, that's for sure.

I think we can all agree that the roster creates a lot more interest and controversy than the game itself. May as well just have the NFL release a roster of all-stars and cut the game altogether.
I hope so! I'm probably getting my hopes up way too much that the graphics will be a large improvement over consoles. Hopefully mods and such can do some stuff (if it can even be modded...)

If you think about it it does kind of make sense. Some of the big publishers are focusing on always having a PC version of their big multi-platform games. Like FIFA 12 PC was the first FIFA in years to be the same up-to-date version as the consoles, using the same new engine. That was a huge deal and could mean Madden is next up.
WanderingWind

I really hope so, because it'll be modded within days of release and we might be able to add features (or at the very least update the rosters ourselves). But, EA knows that, so I'll believe in a PC version when I see it.
Oh. Shit. I didn't think of the Origin connection. They've already released BF3, and ME3 will be old hat by next August, so they'll need an exclusive title. Madden would do it.
Clever bastards.
Plus MLB.tv will be on the 360 in 2012 as well.

Yeah I was just thinking that, could be another feather in Origin's cap along with BF3 and Star Wars.

Well either he's stupid or a pussy, either way...
Earlier in the year I read a very well done piece on off man coverage and how it may be the start of a new trend.
Theory goes that you're rerouting receivers just by being in front of them, can slow them down with proper technique/hip control.
Playing off man allows you to disguise your coverages better, especially blitzes. If the secondary is virtually at a standstill and not declaring press it's hard to figure out if it's man or zone.
You have to rely on you corners properly paring QB drop with the corresponding routes. So with a 1 or 3 step drop, you're only going to defend a couple of routes like a quick hitch, quick out, slant or drag. It's now up to the corner to decipher information, where is the receiver split and whats the most probable route based on the drop.
There were a bunch of Packer cutups associated with the piece, strictly off man coverages and they did a good job conveying the idea behind off man techniques. It really worked, but in the situations were it didn't, it was usually the safety jumping an underneath route, it really didn't burn them in the clips I watched however because the blitzes got home.
Revis is a great press corner, but he's pretty incredible in off man situations. Guy is just smart, recognizes routes on a drop pretty easily. There's a vid of him doing it in practice, fun to watch.
I would post but I'm on an iPad and I loathe the fucking thing, how does anyone get anything done on this thing.
