i know.

i felt queasy doing it.

but, ultimately i made a mathematical decision. literally every single stat/mathematical indicator confirmed the decision.

he is a pretty decent fantasy quarterback regardless, he kicks ass on thanksgiving before his december swoon, the eagles secondary is mediocre, and they give up a ton of garbage time yards/points anyway just due to the speed of chip kelly's offense.

it was just brutal. im glad dallas got smacked in the face in their building on thanksgiving, but jesus.

WOW!!! this is becoming disgusting to watch... i am not one for making a trade just to make a trade but something needs to be done in that locker room the lack of just plain playing is becoming pathetic... if the opposing team shuts down Giroux's line the rest of the team has zero offense..... we need secondary scoring and a upgrade on the defense and Hextall needs to be ready to trade some pieces that he wouldn't have considered before. ( i personally wouldn't mind seeing to brothers shipped out) Something needs to be done before this season is so far gone there is no climbing back

No, I think there's math for that. It looks like this: 100%

Well, there was a coach's tirade, a GM lashing, and a team meeting.

What's left? Fans with pitchforks and burning torches?

take away all fan objectivity from it, and view it in a purely fantasy driven vacuum. would you honestly have thought ahead of time that was a bad start?

true.

and that is quite enjoyable to watch.

but usually he at least puts up some yards and a pair of scores before he throws it away!

Didnt see the game but let me guess..

Couturier did nothing for yet another game. 3 years ago he shut Malkin down sort of in the playoffs but how dare anyone think of trading him.

Simmonds, Read, VL, Umb, PEB were useless like they have been all year.

The d was just bad enough to lose..

People will cry about the coach but at a certain point professional adults should be accountable for thier own performance.

What a joke..Something needs to,change and short of Giroux, Voracek and Mason everyone should be available if it helps the team..that includes the almighty Coots.

- opeth_pa


That was probably the worst Flyers performance I have seen in years... lifeless and on national tv..We'll now be on par with the laughing stock Oilers.

Depends on the other options. Cowboys get a lot of rushing TDs

You are all right. Firing Berube isn't going to fix anything because his replacement will be another member of the ole boys club. As long as the Flyers keep hiring ex-players the mentality, the style, and the attitude will not change. Lavi is a good coach and did a great job when he was here. The team makes it within in 2 wins of winning the cup and a few years later he gets fired after Holmgren blows that cup finals team up and gives out ridiculous contracts. But what does the team do? Lavi gets fired and his replacement is someone who is NOT a good head coach and Holmgren gets a promotion. This team is still reeling from all of Holmgrens bad decisions and it will take a few years to fix but as long as ex-players are being hired, it will take even longer to fix.

A 4min PP without a shot?

Just a disgrace

- 3flyerkids

that would be a disgrace....a 4 min pp w/out a shot where you also give up a 3 on 1 rush and a shorthanded goal is ____________.

true. they do run it a ton. but that also does open up the pass a good bit too.

he had tons of time on many occasions, and was just flat out mind numbingly bad.


and the other options, is just yuck. im a big proponent of waiting on a quarterback. usually it works out for me. but its been killing me this year.
