Not sure what that means. I'm 50, sober and in my living room. Don't think it's over reacting to say blowing a 4-1 lead was a result of poor play.

i agreer if the defense didn't play poorly we would have won

The fans should love him then.

No doubt some team in the West is going to miss the playoffs with 95-98 points, while some team in the Metro sneaks in with 86-88.

Sounds like one of the Super Bowls the Giants won.

Or, the Stanley Cup that LA won.

I am taking some good stuff from this game, and alot of bad.

We played a solid 50 minutes of hockey, and that is pretty close to 60. Our first line has reappeared and it looks like both G and Raffl are finding some chemistry. Couts is still looking like a stud, though his line has lost some spark in the last matches methinks.

Despite scoring a goal, I remain unimpressed with Streit. His terms,contract length, age and overall skill level has put me to bed crying on more than one occasion. We are still taking unnecessary penalties at key points in the game. Mason did not impress me this game, but he has been stellar this far for us. He hasn't bryzed it up enough for me to throw him to the hounds just yet.

But what a (frank)ing devastating loss to witness. Bah...

these ten to twenty minute meltdowns are really tough to watch

4-1 in the third

They were happening in the 2nd period.

I guess we can say they adjusted.

Sort of.

Coots played 25:43 tonight. That's good for a defenseman.

theyll be on their way to a slew of high draft picks if they continue to make giving mccoy 8 carries a part of the game plan. i dont care what his final stats look like. foles was awful.

Foles doesn't worry me. His 2 and 3 receivers are Cooper and Avant. I agree that not giving the ball to Mccoy was inexcusable. I have no idea what Chip Kelly was thinking today with all the throwing. His play calling made it seem like they were down 28 when they were down one score.

im not saying hes garbage, but people are getting way way way too infatuated with him.

but yeah i agree. i dont know why they let a lesser team totally dictate their game plan. they could have ran. they were down less than 2 scores in the third, and were acting as though they needed to score 3 times in a minute. granted, this is coming from someone who got knocked out of his fantasy postseason who has mccoy

this was another tough game to digest, once they bagged the 2nd goal to make it 4-2 you knew it was coming, the ice was tilted & they relied on the goalie to stand on his head again, although he had a 87% save for the game, not too sparkling, but was screened by his own D men on 2 goals, as well as Kimmo knocking one in.

The Flyers are making it hard to watch these days. Just doesn't seem to be an excitement.

I'm not infatuated. I just look at recent super bowl winning qbs like eli, Ben, flacco, etc. then I think why not foles? Bc in year 1 of a foreign system, he makes very good decisions and does a lot of good things. So I'm not worried about him Now it's important to continue to build the team. Draft secondary and a receiver. It's a very good sign when the majority of the best players on the team are first and second year players (besides 25 yoa McCoy and 27 yoa djax)

I hate football, but watching America's Team choke away this game by calling pass plays with a 1 possession lead inside the 4 minute mark after blowing a 23 point halftime lead and seeing Romo picked off in his last 2 possessions (one of them resulting in a touchdown to put the Pack ahead) was (frank)ing wonderful.
