Yeah Gibbs is going to jepordize the team all because of his love for Mark Brunell


After 3 super bowl titles, enshrined in the HOF, ALL his stats and records of wins, and playoff appearances, and even taking a bad team and turning it into a playoff winner in only 2 years

you would think that most of the taterskins fans, would have a little patience, and a little belief that maybe Gibbs knows what he is doing...... just maybe?

you have got to be kidding me

All that proves is Gibbs is willing to do whatever it takes to win, and he thought Saunders gave them a better chance so he benched himself (even though he had the Skins ranked #11 without a viable #2 WR for half the season)

So Gibbs will make himself take a back seat for what he feels is the best for the team, but he won't bench Brunell...


that makes a lot of sense


Bottom line is Brunell is yet again the scape goat, and nothing is going to appease the masses until he is beheaded... whether or not it is the right thing to do.

we are 0-2 not 0-8, people need to quit getting their panties in a bunch

So far there has been nothing to question, we are 0-2 and have played bad.... teams losing 2 in a row happens all the time to even the best of teams, but we are supposed to chuck everything just because some fans are panicky??

and every time the peanut gallery has questioned Joe Gibbs, and doubted him.... in the long run it was Gibbs who was absolutely correct, and the peanut gallery was left with egg on their face.

you need to bring more to the table than being a wanna be armchair GM, to question Gibbs.

Not one person calling for Brunell's benching has provided any real proof or logic to suggest it is the right thing to do. Campbell is learning yet again another offense, and has yet to take a snap in the regular season, We have a veteran team with talent, and junking the season after two games to spoon feed Campbell right now is ridiculious....

All Bubba all the time.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah based on his past QB decisions yeah we will drink the Kool Aid.

Bubba,

It appears you seem like the type that would follow him blindly. If you 2 were in a plane and he told you to jump with no parachute, would you? Also with talent of athletes these days there isn't ever really "bad" teams, just teams that aren't coached properly.

Are you that convinced that Gibbs isn't making a mistake holding onto BOO-NELL too long? Do you honestly believe that another one of the QB's on the roster couldn't do what GREAT OLE #8 is currently doing?

Mind you this is asked after John Jansen said the offensive line has to give him 12 seconds when the normal time is about 5 seconds?

WOW I really need to hear your comments on that, because for real all the great things you state above is based on his first tenure here and if you want to stick to facts he isn't even 500% since his second arrival, but yes I will admit he is an upgrade over Spurrier

Someone calls Bubba out...

[MDS]

Bubba and hahafunnyhaha appear to be the same person.

[SD_Eagle5]

If you 2 were in a plane and he told you to jump with no parachute, would you?

No doubt Bubba would pull a Johnny Utah.

Westbrook36 is one my favorite Eagles fans over there, who just came back from a 30-day suspension. He has posted this gem on his first day back:

What a glorious day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the NFL season is taking shape; everything is right in the world.

Through two weeks of the NFL season, many things have taken place. Some things are like fools gold.....happens every year. A flash in the pan here, a surprising team there. Then, there are other things that are a sign of things to come. Lucky I am here, boys and girls. I'll tell you exactly how things are going to play out.

Things Westbrook is positive of:

The Eagles game vs. the Giants was the worst non-playoff loss I have ever had to endure. It seriously took 2 years off my life. What can a man say? I hope it doesn't have any lingering effects for the rest of the year. Kearse getting hurt is a downer....but the Eagles have the best DL in football, so we will recover. I'm hoping that the Eagles of the first half, who completely dominated the Giants, will be the team that shows up most weeks. Your guess is as good as mine.

I was happy the Cowboys won the other night....I mean, I can only take so many Gatorade showers after week two of the NFL season.

BTW, dock, you still think that Stallworth won't be able to fill the shoes of Pinkston?

Buckhalter is back. Do I cringe every time he gets up after a run? Yes. Is he playing like the old Buck? Yes. He plays like a big back but he only weighs around 220 lbs. He is shifty and enjoys contact. He drags the first tackler, every single time, always fighting for more yards.

Is it me or has TO been a non-story when he has played this year? In the Atlanta game last year, I could not believe my eyes when TO could simply not turn on the switch and dominate. What you have now is a very good WR. He simply does not dominate anymore.

The Giants are not very good. I'm glad the season is 16 games long so we can watch this one play out. Not to take anything away from them, but there were literally 10 plays during the Eagles game where if something fortous or downright ridiculously lucky doesn't happen, they don't win. Their defense scares me. Scares me in the way that very ordinary things scare me.

What were they thinking department:

WHAT THE HELL WERE THE SKINS THINKING throwing away more draft picks, this time, for another NAME....TJ Duckett?!?! Seriously, this is why you can't get ahead. When the draft comes and other teams are stocking up on young CBs, DEs, and OL, the Skins "already had their draft!!" via free agency/trade. Is anyone truly happy with AA, Lloyd, ARE, and Carter? More of the same if you ask me. Now, next off season, you can do it all over again. I lost count....you now don't have your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th....with a possibility of switching places with Denver for your 1st, correct? Slaps forehead.

Offseason arguments are fun. There was this guy Westbrook36 who kept saying "It's going to be a shame when we actually have to start playing games." I think a few conclusions can be drawn from what we talked about for months and months and months:

Once upon a time, there was a man. This man said that you can't block the Eagles DL. He said this way back in April. The masses mocked and ridiculed this man. That man turned out to be 100 percent correct. The Eagles have TWO defensive lines that are the envy of the NFL. 13 sacks in two games. BTW, the single season NFL team sack record is in serious jeopardy. I'm not joking or using hyperbole either. Twas funny checking in early during the game against the Giants and watching tr1 continually post "Where exactly is this pressure from the Eagles DL!?" He posted it about 3-4 times. Then the Eagles sacked Manning eight times and pressure isn't mentioned again.

Often, rehashed arguments become facts as less informed posters or posters not willing to look at things objectively keep repeating the same thing that has been proven, well, on the almighty internet message board. The Eagles offensive line sucks, was a good one. The Eagles defensive can't stop the run was another. Just saying.

Once upon a time, there was a man. This man said that Andre Carter was a better signing than Darren Howard. That man was an idiot. Anyone who agreed with this man is an idiot. Anyone that didn't denounce that man was merely misinformed. I will concede that Carter looks better without a shirt then Howard. If I were a Skins fan, a shirtless picture of Carter would be my signature, horrible play be damned.

When Gaffney was released, it was a sign of vindication for posters on ES who felt that Eagles posters who compared the stats of Lloyd and Gaffney were goddamn morons. Through two games, while Gaffney still remains released, Lloyd has exactly 1 reception for 6 yards. It' going to be tight for the rest of the year, to see who winds up with better stats.

Tis important you don't blow your load in the early stages of free agency. While your division counterparts are giving huge money and/or draft picks for a name player, you can sit back, relax, and get a better deal on a guy like Stallworth, who is better than both Lloyd and ARE combined. Speaking of Stallworth; it turns out he is the best WR that was acquired via trade and free agency in the NFL. Better than guys that the Eagles must have been too cheap and/or stubborn to get like Walker, Lelie, or Moulds.

If I went out for a pass, I could put a double move on Archuleta and catch a pass. Sean Taylor would make me pay though. Is he really the highest paid safety in football? *snicker*

Bubba, jrockster, and tr1 are my favorite posters on ES. I am waiting with baited breath for them to come into this thread and tell me exactly how I have it all wrong and how things aren't as they appear. Jrock ridiculed anyone who suggested the Eagles would win the East. You were labeled a troll if you didn't bow down to the greatness which was the taterskins off-season. Again, it's a shame we had to actually start playing games.

A joke before I depart:

Offensive Coordinator: 2 million dollars

Head Coach: 6 million dollars

New WRs: 20 million dollars

Watching the Skins offense average 9.5 points in their first two games: Priceless 

Parting thoughts:

It's going to be a great season. I sincerely hope some the Skins start winning some games, otherwise, the "NFC EAST WAS WEAK AND THAT'S WHY THE EAGLES WON!" excuse will be brought out next off-season. I have missed you guys. [/b]

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's good stuff.

[SunMo]

im sure he got banned again after that

[PhillyGirl]

I had to wipe tears of pride from my eyes after reading a fellow Eagles' fan post like that.

Pointing

Laughing

and now...also flipping off Bubba, Art, and the rest of those ridiculous asshats.

[Butchers Bill]

If you 2 were in a plane and he told you to jump with no parachute, would you?

No doubt Bubba would pull a Johnny Utah.

Ha!

[Feva]

That post needs to be published.

[phattymatty]

i can't find it, must be deleted already.
