How sweet is it that we've had to wait only until Thursday to see our guys take the field again?

Heard an interesting stat a while ago on the radio:

Mike Vick = 0-4 when the temp is under 40º

Houston Texans = 5-0 when the temp is under 40º

Vick led the Falcons to a playoff win at Green Bay in sub-zero conditions a few years ago. I was impressed because the Falcons were a dome team from the South and somebody with the NFL made the genius decision of scheduling a January Lambeau game at night, hoping I'm sure, for the Ice Bowl revisited. Anyway, the stat is bogus. Besides, most of those Texans wins in the cold came when David Carr was the quarterback.

On a better note, Assante Samuel is inactive so the Eagles will be without their best corner.

True on the Green Bay game..... John Lopez on 610 mentioned it - guess he missed one... ND Kalu chimed in about beating Atlanta once in the playoffs in Philly.... I will say, whatever the record actually is, Vick is not noted as a cold weather QB....

As to the Texans cold weather wins I can remember these:

1. Crazy Pittsburgh game where the Texans only had something like 50 yds total offense and won.

2. A win in Chicago

3. Nice win a couple of years ago in Green Bay

Can't remember the other two... Cleveland? Buffalo?

NFLN just showed the AJ fight again, to the cheers of the bar I'm in.

Gametime!

Eagles win the flip and elect to receive.

Eagles return the kick for 102 yards but flag on the play. Holding on Eagles. Bring it back.
