SAMUEL DOUBTFUL FOR CARDINALS
options
 

The already difficult assignment of covering the NFL's best trio of wide receivers figures to be even more difficult for the Eagles tomorrow night because they will likely be without Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel.

After twice suffering stingers during the Eagles' loss in Baltimore Sunday, Samuel was listed as doubtful for the Eagles' Thanksgiving night game against the Arizona Cardinals, who have three wide receivers -- Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston -- among the top 15 in receiving yards in the NFL.

Samuel sat out of practice for the third straight as did running back Correll Buckhalter, who is also listed as doubtful with a sprained knee ligament. Buckhalter said Monday that he would not play against Arizona. Running back Brian Westbrook did practice today and was listed as questionable for the game.

    THE SUSPENSE IS BUILDING FOR THIS GAME. HOW OFTEN WILL ARIZONA SCORE BEFORE THEY PUT IN THEIR THIRD STRING AND SPECIAL TEAMERS? WILL REID RESIGN AFTER THE GAME? WILL DONAVAN WANT TO SPREAD THE BALL AROUND? WILL UNCLE MARTY HAVE INSIGHTS INTO THE RUNNING GAME? WILL THERE BE ANYONE LEFT IN THE LOWER STANDS BY THE FOURTH QUARTER? ARE THE EAGLES STILL THE GOLD STANDARD OF THE NFC? WILL ANY OF THE WRITERS ATTEND THE POST GAME NEWS CONFERENCE?

    you guys PLEASE! there are injuries here the solution is not to fire the guys who are healthy! It is to wish get well soon to those who are hurt! fans get credit when teams win and win championships! Are thew fans who write like this more a part of the problem rather than the solution!

    Is it possible to list an entire team as "doubtful"? Not in terms of injury either. Just plain doubtful. Bordering on irrelevant.

    I predicted the Ravens in a walk. This game will be more interesting in the first half. In the second half; the Cardinals will stop taking the Eagles lightly or feeling sorry for them and blow them out. Then Andy Reid will start Kolb for the rest of the season and everyone will get a chance to see how bad he is. We're in trouble for a few years to come.

    How are indecipherable posts like losteagle's permitted to remain on this board? I can't help thinking of Samuel Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction when he screams, "English, motherf'er... do you speak it? when I read the comments listed in these forums. Dial it up a notch, Philly.com. Now.
