First off. . . 100 pageviews! Wow! Thank you everyone for taking your time to read my opinions on the NFL. Trust me this isn't the last you'll see me. I hope to make this quite a big blog, one as big as Iggles Blitz http://igglesblitz.com/ , and Blogging the Beast http://bloggingthebeast.com/ but basically I just want to thank you for reading my blog. I honestly didn't think that it would become even slightly big and I've got friends who are doing blogs that haven't even gotten to 10 views yet so to know that a 100 people have taken a look at my own personal website, its flattering.
Anyway, enough of my happiness I'll entertain my 'roster.' Basically the Eagles are playing Dallas. You may remember earlier in the year, the Eagles played the Cowboys at home and got battered. Well, I was actually looking forward to that game (I'm an Eagles fan, both 3 - 5, you get my point) but after the last 3 games, I've virtually given up. Washington, what the hell was that about? 31 - 6? *cringe*. In my 4 years of watching American Football, I've never seen the Eagles on this bad of form, I always think to myself, if your not confident competing in a spectator sport, the worst surely has to be American Football. Why? Well 3 main reasons.
1) Mental - Your not thinking straight and your gameplan is totally affected by lack of thought and composure
2) Physical - Your not concentrating on being the strongest out of your team. Especially as a QB this is hard. If you don't keep yourself together in strength, getting hit will feel like you've just been bonneted by the Thrust SCC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThrustSSC.
3) Reaction - One thing you notice about all good teams is that if they lose a game badly they dont lose heart they gain it. They become honest, criticize themselves and go into the next game stronger.
These three features are exactly what the Eagles do not have. Since Week 1 against Cleveland, only 2 people that were starting that game are playing this Sunday Night. Two!? Two!? My baby sister could put up more than a fight than this team is doing at the moment! I think that the Eagles are 3 - 8 at the moment and last year they would of won these next 5 games and saved there season, well not save there season just prove you can actually play some decent football. I'm actually starting to consider losing this game for Draft position but then again it always pisses me off when Dallas beat Philly.
However Dallas has a different picture. There sh*t but there still playing with some dignity. If you saw my post from a couple of weeks ago where I was talking about the NFC East, I simply said for this for Dallas, "Oh my God. I actually hate Dallas. I hate Dallas more than anyone (except for N.Y. Giants) and they did not deserve the win". I've never liked Dallas. From Tony Romo, to America's team, to five super bowl's and being the Eagles rivals. In fact the only reason I hate N.Y. more is because they've beaten New England twice in the Super Bowl (My second favourite team are New England) and because of Eli Manning. Dallas have been playing interesting games at the moment and I'm not really looking forward to the Sunday night game to be honest. My Prediction? Philadephia 10 - 48 Dallas.
Once again, thank you so much for following my Blog whoever you gorgeous, amazing 100 people are. I thank you with all of my NFL heart, and I really hope you can continue to read what my virtual job is. Writing about the NFL.
P.S. If you live in Britain, give a shout out about my blog on Channel 4 tonight? I'm not begging, I'd just quite like Mike Carlson and Nat Coombs to follow me.
I'll do this for the first time in a while.
Cheerio!
