what romey said

Of course I'm going to complain if they don't win the Super Bowl.  Who wouldn't?  The thing is, though, I don't think there's a person on this farging board who thinks they have a legitimate chance to win the Super Bowl anyway, right?  So if no one here thinks they have a shot going into the season, why are you going to complain after the season other than in a general sense?

Just sayin'.

This right here...

[SunMo]

agreed.  i mean, in 06, when Donovan got hurt and Garcia was in.  i'm sure most of us would've said we wouldn't complain if they just made the playoffs.  well, they won a game in the playoffs and then lost a close one to the Saints, and there was a farg load of shtein to complain about after that game.

Mostly Scott Young's existence.

[Phanatic]

I'll find something to bitch about in just about any situation except a super bowl win. Fact.

Well, because they had a shot over the years to better themselves in certain areas and didn't give McNabb enough help. The fact that no one thinks they have a shot at winning it all is in direct correlation to the job the front office has done since the Eagles lost to the Patriots in the Superbowl. I think a lot of people take the mindset that if they are going to keep feeding the fans this stuff about how the offense is fine and doesn't need a major upgrade, then they better go out and prove it. By prove it, I mean win the Superbowl, because that is really all that matters. When you build your team in the offseason, you compile the talent that you think wins you a championship. So, the Eagles clearly think this team is good enough to win. If the Eagles believe this, then the fans should absolutely hold them to that same standard.

If this was a rebuilding team, then I think people could stomach it if they missed the playoffs. They keep telling us they are going for it though. "Pedal to the metal." So go out and do it then.

thats a different big picture argument

we are talking about just this team and this season

[mpmcgraw]

They have a very real chance of winning the super bowl this year and a very real chance of a an 04 rematch.

and pat burrell will save the world

[shorebird]

They have a chance, although I don't think it's a "very real" chance. I'd say the chance they have of winning the Superbowl is somewere between slim and none.

making it 12%

winning it 3%

[QB Eagles]

Incidentially, if you spin a roulette wheel with the name of all 32 NFL teams on it, the odds of it randomly landing on the Super Bowl winner are slightly greater than 3%.

[mpmcgraw]

if mcnabb and westy stay healthy we will win this division and have a bye.  we will then advance to the super bowl.  book it.
