Speculation on Akers distractions

YATittleMember

He's being sued by the government over investments that included involvement by former teammates, and there's some health issue involved, to say nothing about the fact that he thinks his Eagles career is over.

Hope those fans blaming him are proud...

Can't understand why he'd think the Eagles want to get rid of him. You can do a lot worse than Akers. Reid pretty much threw him under the bus after the game but those winds were tough on Sunday and I'm sure Crosby was glad he didn't have to kick any meaningful FG's.

Yeah, he's always in the Pro Bowl, but something must have happened behind the scenes for him to imply that it's over for him there. He's young enough to kick another five years, and someone will pay him if he's willing.

I guess he had ALL his money in that investment scheme and is gonna be broke or worse...

I just wonder what Packers fans would have done if Mason missed those 2 FG's and we lost by 5. Hopefully we wouldn't be calling for his head, but I think many would.

Is it possible he just had a bad day?

Maybe He wants to kick for a team whose fans don't suck.

Yes, some have one every day.

It was interesting that MM passed up a early 56 yarder with the wind to punt when the annoucers said Crosby was making them in the pregame warm ups from that distance.I believe that the wind was a factor and when Crosby kicked the EP's the balls looked different than normal.

I think that the wind and weather was more of a factor than us fans at home realize.

Thank you M3! My opinion has always been that he tries too many long field goals.

One of the smart things MM did in not giving the Iggles a short field to work with. I think they felt making Vick go long distances worked in our favor.
