Eagles/Vikings: 4th Quarter

14:52
The Vikings are not good. The only reason why they are in this game is because, well, the Eagles are not very good either. As long as the Eagles win (so Peterson will be eliminated) I’ll be okay.

12:47

Here is something that I have learned: Blogging for a game with two bad teams is really hard.

The Vikings have no passing game, a terrible secondary, average (at best) linebackers and a horrible coach.

The Eagles have no true running game, a bad offensive line, no receivers, a mediocre defense and bad coaching.

Really, what we have here is two bad coaches with two bad teams in a bad conference. Yuck.

9:10

Jared Allen almost picked off a pass.

Brandon Albert > Jared Allen (because Albert would have made that catch…)

So, I just realized that Adrian Peterson’s touchdown run gets a touchdown bonus because it was 40+ yards. Damnit.

Adrian Peterson = 21 Fantasy Points

8:26

Are the Minnesota Vikings getting a new football stadium? Are they remodeling the Metrodome? I just realized the Twins are getting a new stadium. I wish the Royals were getting a new stadium. I wish these two teams didn’t suck (as Bernard Berrian just jumped offsides).

7:07

Aaaaaaaaand Sheldon Brown just dropped the easiest interception of his life. Jackson is terrible. Brown, apparently, is worse.

6:36

Brian Westbrook just took a screen pass 71 yards for a touchdown. I don’t even think he was touched, and it wasn’t because of good blocking necessarily. Westbrook only needed one block to get him in space and it was over from there. Wow. 23-14 Eagles.

6:24

Jackson almost threw another TAINT. Geez, he is bad.

6:19

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand Jackson just threw into triple coverage. Fortunately for him Ed Reed was not back there.

5:12

HA! Celek just got jacked up! Bastard…

3:33

Jackson. Is. Awful.

2:54

Tevaris Jackson is Tyler Thigpen.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand Philly just recovered a fumble on a bad snap. Game. Over. Mercifully.

Yesterday’s games were much better. The Ravens game wasn’t close and neither was this one, even though the Vikings had a lead at one point and was within a field goal for most of the game.

2:33

So, I’ve been misspelling Jackson’s name wrong all game. It is actually T-A-R-V-A-R-I-S Jackson. Oops.

I was really kind of hoping someone would draft Jackson in our playoff draft – it didn’t happen. Although, I almost drafted him for Jeff.

Jeff – you better show up to the baseball draft. Really, you better show up.

2:22

I’m pretty sure I just saw Jason Whitlock on the sidelines.

1:55

David Akers: Fantasy hero.

So the Eagles will play the Giants next week in what will be the matchup of the most unpredictable bipolar quarterbacks in the league: Donovan McNabb and Eli Manning.

1:50

I understand Childress is looking for a big play, but putting Adrian Peterson in to return the kickoff seems a little stupid to me. You’re not going to win this game, why risk blowing out Peterson’s ACL on what will prove to be a meaningless kick return?

Again, I understand why he did it; I just think it’s stupid.

:00

Game is mercifully over. Eagles win. Next week’s games should be much better.
