That's what the Birds are going into Sunday.
1) Is this the highest ever point spread?
2) Thought they weren't going to decide anything until they knew about the QB situation.....or maybe they do...

I guess bring a 20.5 dog isn't that bad( remember they get 3 just for being the home team) I really gotta post in blue more... I may go out to see AE this weekend since the game won't be worth watching, unless I can think of a way to turn it into a drinking game, hhmmm chug a beer everytime someone scores?!? might get be tipsy but not enough to make it worth watching... or maybe drink a beer everytime someone states the Pats are the best team in football, even I wouldn't make it through the 2nd quarter...

Tatt that may be the only way I make it through the massacre is to make it a drinking game. I think I will add a shot in everytime they mention Spygate or 16-0.
Is this whats its come to? I don't remember a spread over 20 ever.

True...but he never made any gold records.

Tat, you could chug a beer for every time the Eagles make a defensive stop. But that's probably not even buzzed drinking.

Something else to consider - Jim Johnson has been able to effectively call defenses against Randy Moss, so I don't think he'll destroy them as he's been doing with other teams.
They'll get manhandled by Dainty Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney, who'll have HOF #s after this game.

Clearly, they don't realize that the Gold Standard is coming to Sawksland.
The point spread is an obvious misprint or desperate attempt at comedy by Las Vegas.

I love Phil Sheridan...."Birds need Swagger to beat Patriots"
(Unless there is a free agent out there named Swagger who can play QB, WR, TE, punt returner, kick off returner,safety and coach.)

I dunno, FD-- if I give you the Birds +22.5 right now, what's your confidence level?
Fear not, boys-- wait til the Jets go into Foxboro week 15. You could, quite literally, see a 30-point spread. And I'll still take New England. What's the record for highest score in an NFL game? 73-0? I truly believe Belichick takes a run at that to embarrass Mangini.

I'd probably slot it between "low" and "quite low".

What's amazing is there is a good chance 7 starters from that Super Bowl team will be on the field against the Patriots on Sunday.
That was less than 3 years ago and all that remains is most of a secondary, a running back, a pair of tackles, a running back, and a TE who was splitting time.

At this point, that's the only turnover the Birds have over the Patriots.

Hah! Then again, the Swagger that comes to mind for me is this guy, which might also work.

What's worse:
1) Losing to a team that will likely put up 60+ points.
2) Somewhere, in an alternate universe, the Eagles squeak out an impossible win to go 6-5, with McNabb at the helm. The media goes insane. The team believes they can still have a shot and never gets Kolb into a game, only to still miss the playoffs.
