level headed fans dont get excited about week 16 wins...weve seen this before

intelligent fans evaluate the team in terms of can they win the superbowl not can they beat kyle orton in essentially a meaningless game

smart people would follow romey

lol--theres so many directions I can go with this

Wasn't this team supposed to have a "usual" december let down game?

While the QB might be older, his offense is not. this isn't Pinkston/Thrash....Small/Johnson....or Curtis/whoever.

Its not LJ Smith and Westbrook/noname RB.

To me, this is a different team that can win DESPITE Reid.

of course they can win...the point is theres no reason to get excited until they win a couple playoff games...weve seen this movie before numerous times

tampa baltimore and the giants have all won superbowls this decade so the eagles talent is not an excuse as to why they havent won just as the fact that they have more talent on offense now is not a reason to be all chest out this year

the fact is they still have andy reid and donovan mcnabb and until one or both of them does something that shows us they can win a title there little reason for a lot of excitement

So you can't "get excited" about a reg season win, but it's cool to rip the Eagles for a reg season win.

Got it.

ice grillin you · December 28, 2009, 10:42:32 AM

no one ripped them for winning...just ripped them for looking so bad in the second half

all criticism or praise should be done with a superbowl in mind...there was nothing that happened yesterday that puts a superbowl anywhere close to their grasp...at least not any closer than the week before or at any other time in the last ten years that didnt take place fall of 2004 thru january 2005

like i said weve all seen this movie a thousand times....some choose to see it for what it is...others choose to get all amped up

Of course.

My point is that the WAY they are winning games now...I like it. Some of them are gut check type of games. Its good for the young guys to be doing this...and McNabb, while he had a bad second half (for the most part) won them the game yesterday with his run and the changing of the field position.

And IGY, that type of a game is precisely WHY they are Super Bowl material. They shtein the bed and found a way to win.

As opposed to 2004, when they destroyed everyone they played and had no guts at the end.

keep a superbowl in mind before you get all excited....make a thread and title it just like this

smart people follow Rome

so some people don't throw rose petals and heap all kinds of supleratives on the team and rather choose to look at them with a critical eye and that's stupid. got it.

Feva · December 28, 2009, 10:59:20 AM

Oh, crazy me...I looked at the 1st post in this thread and saw quotes like "this team sucks" and "this game tonight was a disgrace" and thought that to mean he was ripping the team.

Now, don't get it twisted, I wasn't doing cartwheels after this win either, but damn...to hear some of you guys, you'd think they got blew out. Yep, we've all been on this ride before...but we've also seen that the reg season isn't always an indication of what a team will do in the postseason. Yet, there are people condemning the Eagles after yesterday's regular season game...which I assume because I didn't see threads like this after the Giants or 49ers game.

Just as predictable as this "movie" from the Eagles is the almost weekly overreaction from heads on CF.

pretty sure romey was hyperbolizing and most likely hammered

SunMo · December 28, 2009, 11:02:24 AM

the defense being mediocre has been pretty consistent all year, and the horrible tackling has actually gotten worse.

Shut up. You know that's not what I'm saying. It would have been so cool if you took a tumble from your nosebleed seat yesterday and not been able to post this.
