CenturyLink Field Field half empty

Good seats available.
This is half-empty Century Link Field.

Amazing how many seats are open for this Thursday night game.


Just a guess but Patrons might be at original Starbucks on Pike Street, also pictured.

Lattes better value than football game.

Mayock: ' Get Shady more touches'

Mike Mayock always has believed Eagles head coach Andy Reid has been underappreciated.
 The NFL Network Thursday Night Football analyst doesn't like the way the Eagles are playing offense, though.
“It is critical that the Eagles find a way for LeSean McCoy to get more touches," Mayock said I'm a statement. "Last week against New England, he only had 14 touches in the entire game. They need to get McCoy the ball 20-25 times and make a concerted effort in the run game to get him as many touches as possible and stay more balanced."
Defensively Mayock likes the Philly pass rush versus quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, sacked 28 times this season. Jackson also has thrown 12 interceptions.
It could get interesting when Mayock does the Eagles-Seahawks game Thursday night in Seattle.
The Eagles have taken a lot of criticism league-wide and Mayock isn't shy about expressing himself.
Don't expect the Newtown Square resident to go easy on Big Red, who lives in Radnor Township.
