PrintCole should expect a fine from league - NFC East Blog - ESPN
The fight that broke out near the end of Sunday's Giants-Eagles game remains under review in the league office. A spokesman with the office told the Daily News that fines are expected to be assessed, but no suspensions are in the plans. That's good news for Eagles defensive end Trent Cole, who threw at least two punches during the scrum.

Paul Domowitch: Eagles' offensive line overcomes adversity | Philadelphia Daily News | 12/16/2009
Last Sunday, Reid's revamped line turned in its finest performance of the season in the Eagles' 45-38 win over the Giants. It allowed just one sack, gave quarterback Donovan McNabb the time to complete 17 of 26 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns, and came up huge on a clock-eating 12-play, 91-yard fourth-quarter scoring drive.

Saints chase perfection; Colts plan to rest starters; more NFL - Peter King - SI.com
Remember how I said last week no one's going to want to play the Chargers in January? Still true. But add one more team to that list: the Eagles. They've changed before our very eyes. Did you see on TV last night when Andy Reid got airborne -- OK, he did a little hop -- to body-bump DeSean Jackson after Jackson scored a touchdown? I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe right here, right now, is the best offensive variety Reid has had with the Eagles in his 11 years as coach.

Belated congratulations
on the win last weekend.
Whilst I am hopeful we get a chance to play you again this season the bigger hope is that we come up with a better gameplan to beat you next season.
You have been the NFC team of this decade so it would only be fitting for you to win the NFC East (again!).

I think the officiating had something to do with
the offensive fireworks Sunday. Cole was getting mugged all game with no penalties. Our guys only give up one sack and DMac has about 3 1/2 minutes to complete a bomb to DJax. Eli isn’t pressured all day.
I’m no official watching expert, but judging from the results, I’d say that both teams figured out early on they wouldn’t get called for holding, and the score reflects this.

You guys had 2 big sacks on Eli.....

Relieved to hear that Cole's only getting fined.....
Penalties have been a real problem all season, the kind of problem that can de-rail a team in the playoffs.
Hoping that Reid and the rest of the coaching staff can get the players under control as we head into the playoffs. They’ve played their way into a good spot (hard to believe they’ve done it with all the penalties). I’d hate to see the whole thing go down the tubes in the playoffs because someone couldn’t control themselves…..

of our players I think D-Jax and Cole should definitely make it….
Asante, Weaver, Celek, Peters, Mikell, and probably Sheldon should be considered…

agree with your list. Luckily the fan vote doesn’t count for everything and the actual coaches and nfl execs will make the final decision because I do not agree with Witten over Celek. He has not had a better season just more name recognition.

I dunno, Witten is apparently the only person Romo throws to anymore. Dude’s a huge part of their offense, but Celek’s got the TD. In my opinion, TDs are way more important than yards or recs, but I don’t know how many people think the same way. And yeah, Witten has the name recognition.
meh he only has a little over ten recs more and an average of ten or so yards per rec. which would be around 100 yards in total yards than him. BUT Celek has way more TD’s and he has more yards per recs. So if you are talking about game changing, those TD’s speak volumes. Therefore, I dont think Witten should make it over Celek because if he does its strictly based on name recognition and team bias.

Where do you guys find out how many votes a player has?

I have no problem with what Cole did. you have to stand up for your teamate and the giant player through a nasty punch into clemons back
That's stupid
He’s going to get fined now and he was probably considered for suspension. It’s never a good idea to throw punches in a football game EVER… They’re wearing pads, I doubt Clemons got much, he shoulda broke it up if anything.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I said he would get suspended at first, but after hearing a bit more of what went down before the exchange it did seem like a suspension is unwarranted.
Still, I hope in the future Cole and the rest of the Eagles keep their eye on the prize and dont get drawn in to these sorts of risky altercations.
