Ray Lewis calls out Eagles

On ESPN's NFL Countdown this morning, Rachel Nichols reported that Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis called out the Eagles for giving the Giants' running backs "big gaping holes," and he is exactly correct. The Eagles' defense was pushed around by the Giants' offensive line, and their linebackers were trying to make arm tackles against a 260-pound running back.

This week, the defense needs to get back to basics, and work on filling their gaps against a bad Cincinnati team.

On offense, the Eagles need to focus on running the ball on a consistent basis, and figure out how to get the offense clicking early in the first quarter. To do that, Andy Reid might want to forget about the first-quarter script, and give Donovan McNabb some freedom to improvise early in the game.

Prediction: The Eagles tame the Bengals 31-10, and give a glimmer of (possibly false) hope to their fans before a battle with Ray Lewis' Baltimore Ravens next week.

Brandon Jacobs rushed for 36 yards on his first carry of the day. Nice job, Ray!

Brandon Jacobs is on pace for 280 yards and 8 TDs this afternoon. After one quarter, he has 8 carries for 70 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Giants became the first team in 11 years to rush for more than 200 yards in a game against the Ravens.

Now we both know you leave this blog open along with your grandmom porn and check it constantly for my replies, so I must say to you, its not called a come back because you leave and come back. You had over an hour and the best you could come up with is I mistakenly hit d. Remember suicide is painless, tonight when your home alone in your parents' basement and your trying to find just one more reason to pull the trigger, remember the whole world still thinks you're an idiot.

Wow you got me. I guess I should check those prescriptions I write every day for errors. I hope someone didn't get the wrong med's... Thank you for allowing me to see the light. Thank you so much. HONESTLY THANK YOU! Maybe I should spend more time checking out Over 69 doin' 69 more often and just read this blog, then maybe my U of P education would be on par with your obviously far superior intellect.

Didn't you say your weren't commenting anymore? I really wish you would stop. I know you spend most of your time concocting stories to woo 15 year old boys on myspace, because just having a car and some candy probably doesn't turn heads anymore, but most people don't need to lie about their lives to feel good about themselves. Go back to your sad existance in your mother's basement and leave blogs to people who can chat wittingly about sports and not just be a lap dog to NY teams. I love that the only stats you had to offer are from a game you were watching, and you had to post them right away, so your feeble mind wouldn't forget.

Are you serious? What have you brought to this blog, other than that my father should have masturbated or that I spend my day watching grandma porn?

Weren't you the one who threw out stats from a game Brandon Jacobs played several years ago? Jackass.

If anything, I bring balance to this blog. There's little doubt Matthew can write, but his views are far from objective. He still won't admit that the Giants are the best team in the NFL (which they are, I don't care how many games Tennessee wins), or that most teams right now would take Eli Manning over Donovan McNabb.

Now, hurry up and fire a comeback involving my mom's basement! Hurry!

FINALLY we get to the root of the problem. I honestly never thought it would take this long, maybe you are as feeble as I originally thought. This is not a news column this is a blog, again I say its OPINION, it does not need to be balanced by you. People that read this blog are smart enough to realize Mr. Fleishman is not being objective, he is hardly trying to be. When I want to read stuff that counters his points I look to a blog by someone who is on the other side of the fence. Not the pathetic ramblings of some know nothing who calls everyone an idiot who disagrees with him. Its sad and immature. If you want to write something start you own blog or get a job at a newspaper. If you can find the time to tear yourself away from that disgusting grandma porn, and actually come out of your hermitage.

HAHA YES!!! GRANDMA PORN!!!!

Thanks, but I have a job with a company that is in much better shape than the one Matt works for.

Good then it probably has some sort of psychiatric coverage. Look into it. Honestly it's a bit creepy that you know about the company he works for. Even if he works for the Yardley News or who ever owns them, it's sad you did that much work to figure out what kind of shape they are in, unless you are some weird jaded ex-employee. In that case I revert back to you watching grandma porn and needing to use your HMO to see a Psychiatrist.

There's nothing creepy about it. Anyone who knows anything about the newspaper industry knows how bad Matt's company is. I actually feel bad for him.
