Jeez, how about throwing a few to AJ....

Or Hopkins will do. I was wondering when they would throw a pass vertically.....

Nuke!

Now I can go back to being miserable that Foles is my FF QB.

That reverse is so incredibly irresponsible that it pisses me off to see it even when it works out in our favor.

I figured Blue would score sooner than later but I didn't have that in mind exactly.
