Cody Parkey Kickoff Tracker and Contest: #BeatDallas Again Edition

Leave a reply

Afternoon, folks. How we feeling heading into tonight?

For me, it’s a mix of cautioned confidence and anxious nervousness, but should the game rest on Cody Parkey’s leg late, I feel just fine.

During the Thanksgiving beatdown of the Cowboys, Parkey was incredibly busy as he kicked off eight times. Last week against the Seahawks was a different story as the Eagles offense struggled to move the ball most of the day against the defending Super Bowl champions. Parkey kicked off only three times.

Seattle’s defense Dallas is not though, and tonight will hopefully resemble Thanksgiving once again.

Let’s hit it as the battle for control of the NFC East goes down.

Tweet at me (@drewBbalis) before kickoff tonight guessing the number of touchbacks Parkey has AND the Cowboys average starting field position on his kickoffs (far right column of the chart — sans brackets)

I will go (5,21).

Get your guesses in. Don’t piss off Claude.

Cody Parkey Kickoff Tracker and Contest: Lambeau Field Edition

Leave a reply

Another edition of the Cody Parkey kickoff tracker and contest is here following Monday night’s fun spectacle that had the Eagles rookie plenty busy — kicking off eight times.

If today plays out the way many expect, Parkey will have plenty of opportunities again. The catch is he will do it in cold weather for the first time in his career. Temperatures in Lambeau are expected to be hover around 20 degrees at kickoff and drop as the sun sets.

I ain’t worried, but if you want to take that into consideration when making your guess, go for it.

Tweet at me (@drewBbalis) before kickoff today guessing the number of touchbacks Parkey has AND the Packers average starting field position on his kickoffs (far right column of the chart — sans brackets)

Get your guesses in so as not to piss of Claude Giroux, and stay tuned for a big announcement to our contest coming on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

I got 6 and 21. Your chart will of course be updated throughout the afternoon as always.

Cody Parkey Kickoff Tracker and Contest: Monday Night Panthers Edition

Leave a reply

Happy Monday morning, folks.

It’s a good Monday because in about 12 hours, the Eagles are on Monday Night football against a somewhat struggling Carolina Panthers team. Mark Sanchez will be tasked with trying to pull a Jeff Garcia almost eight years later.

I am not sure how I feel about that, but I feel good should the game rest on Cody Parkey’s leg — as the Eagles other appearance on Monday Night did this season. Back in Week 2 against the Colts, Parkey endured his only miss of the season but got redemption with a game-winning 36-yard field goal at the final horn as Nicky Foles out dueled Andrew Luck in the fourth quarter.

Enough reminiscing for now though, you know why we’re here.

I have sat out the contest over the past couple of weeks giving folks a chance to catch up to me, but my guess tonight will be 4 and 19. 

Do the damn thing, dawgies. Claude Giroux is a friend of Cody Parkey. He would want you to play our contest, and you don’t want to disappoint your captain, do you? I didn’t think so.
