NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Wentz throws it right to Josh Norman in the endzone. Right to him too. Even if Josh wasn't there that ball wasn't on target.

 

Went to Matthews and then the Eagles go for 2 and Tate plucks it at the 1 and turns into the endzone and the Eagles take a 9-point lead.

 

My man Nate Gerry (big fan at Nebraska and as a project convert to LB in draft) makes a pick and the announcers talk through it and continue to after pausing for a moment to process it. Classy.

 

Eagles up 12 as I talk to myself.

 

Adrian Peterson had 98 yards rushing on 9 runs. Outside that 90-yard TD he averaged 1 yard per run.

 

Hes old that 90 yard run tired him out.

 

Good stuff, LAOJoe. I wish I felt better I would have enjoyed the game with you.

 

Eagles still alive as far as playoffs are concerned...

 

Washington has lost its second quarterback in three games to a broken lower leg.

Colt McCoy replaced Alex Smith, who needed surgery to repair a compound fracture to his right leg. On Monday night, Washington lost McCoy to a fractured right fibula, Lisa Salters of ESPN reported from the sideline.

Coach Jay Gruden told Salters it was “heartbreaking” and “devastating.”

It leaves Washington’s playoff life in the hands of veteran Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez signed two weeks ago after Washington put Smith on injured reserve. The team obviously will have to sign another quarterback as Sanchez’s backup moving forward.

Tight end Jordan Reed is the emergency quarterback tonight.

McCoy replaced Smith against Houston and nearly won the game. Against Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, McCoy lost his first start since 2014.

Sanchez completed 6 of 10 passes for 62 yards in the first half, leading Washington to 10 points.

Washington also has lost offensive guard Jonathan Cooper, who was downgraded to out with an arm injury. That’s another position the team has been hard hit, with Tony Bergstrom limping off early in the third quarter.

Washington’s starting offensive guards, Brandon Scherff and Shawn Lauvao, already are on injured reserve. (PFT)

 

Report: A.J. Green will undergo season-ending surgery...

Bengals receiver A.J. Green will undergo season-ending surgery on torn ligaments in his toe, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Green will need three to four months to rehab, getting him back in time for organized team activities.

Green returned from his toe injury after missing three games, but he lasted only 17 plays in Sunday’s loss to the Broncos.

A recent report suggested surgery was a possibility after Green visited Dr. Robert Anderson, a top foot specialist whose practice is in Green Bay.

Green finishes his eighth season with 46 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns in nine games.

It’s another blow to an offense already missing quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) and tight ends Tyler Eifert (ankle) and Tyler Kroft (foot) among others. (PFT)

 

AP is an example of a player who came back a horrible situation to play again and Hunt is a lot younger. Of course Hunt is going to shoulder the brunt of the league once again getting egg on its face.

 

Crazy how the Rams are the only team to officially clinch the postseason.

 

What a record they have in a season with so much parody. Cream of the crop, so far.

 

AP still has his personal issues, but it is nice to see him do well on the football field. He really takes care of himself physically, but he is still a nut job in my opinion.

 

By the way... im a nut job too.

 

We'll try to help them out next week

 

And only two teams officially eliminated

 

We won't.
