2012 NFL Pro Bowl Open Thread

The Pro Bowl will be our last chance to see an Eagle play football (if you can call the pro bowl that) until August. LeSean McCoy, Jason Peters & Jason Babin will be our three representatives.

The game will be live on NBC at 7pm, but they will also be streaming the game for free on their website. Dan Hicks will have the call with Mike Mayock and Doug Flutie providing the color commentary.

This Pro Bowl may be the end of an era actually as the contract between the NFL and the Hawaii Tourism Authority expires after today. There's been some talk about moving the Pro Bowl to the site of the Super Bowl from here on out... but I imagine if they did they'd get even fewer players showing up for it than they do now. Imagine trying to convince guys to play an exhibition game outside in New Jersey next year?

Did you know?

The Eagles enter week 17 with a league leading 49 sacks and could become just the third Eagles D to lead the NFL in sacks (1991 & 2002).

Also, with just 25 receiving yards DeSean Jackson will reach 900 for the year becoming just the 5th player in NFL history to reach 900 yards in each of his first 4 seasons.

Familiar Faces

Sav Rocca, Jabar Gaffney & Donte Stallworth are all ex Eagles. Philly has no ex Skins.

Matchup history

This is the 155th meeting between these teams. The Eagles are 16-9 against the Reskins under Andy Reid and have won 4 of their last 5.

Eagles At Cowboys Second Half Thread

ARLINGTON, TX - DECEMBER 24:   Riley Cooper #14 of the Philadelphia Eagles makes a pass reception against  Mike Jenkins #21 and Gerald Sensabaugh #43 of the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium on December 24, 2011 in Arlington, Texas.  (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

Eagles defense pitching a shutout so far. Tony Romo has been knocked out of the game with a badly swollen right hand.

Yet another red zone turnover (Avant fumble) has helped hold the Eagles offense to 14 points, but they've completely had their way with this Rob Ryan led defense. Nothing new there (turnover or owning a Ryan).

By virtue of the Giants win earlier, the Eagles have been eliminated from playoff contention and the game is essentially meaningless for the Cowboys.

Eagles Vs Jets Second Half Thread

Eagles with a big 28-13 halftime lead. Got sloppy at the end however. Each team has three turnovers, the big difference is that the Eagles has scored TDs as a result of Jets turnovers.

LeSean McCoy has tied the Eagles single season record of 18 TDs set by Steve Van Buren in 1945. Jason Babin recorded his 17th sack of the season putting him a half sack behind Jared Allen for the NFL lead and just 4 shy of Reggie White's single season Eagles record of 21.

Here are some first half highlights.
