This Team Will NOT Win Anything... Ever.

[reese125]

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

you dont believe in the 2 year hog index do you?

[Sgt PSN]

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.

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. 

this is hurtful

and funny

Not as hurtful as knowing that you're currently uninjured.  

[ice grillin you]

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.

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.

they have done this for the entire andy mcnabb era...whether it be the skins game in 2000 the monday nite disgrace at the meadowlands in 2001 or the westbrook return game

the bottom line remains they still have andy and donovan and i wont believe either of them can win 3 or 4 straight games against playoff competition until i see it

i mean i love the eagles weapons this year more than anyone...but are you confident donovan can throw the eagles to a superbowl and outplay say romo brees warner and manning in a one month period...or any combination of the qb's hes going to face over the next month..and im not saying for example romo is better than mcnabb and mcnabb can definitely beat him but of all the qb's left of who i have confidence in to have four straight playoff winning quality performances he would be near the bottom and at best in the middle of the pack

same with reid...can you see reid outcoaching four other playoff teams in the period of a few weeks?...i cant

theres nothing about this year that tells me i should be more confident about either of those things happening compared to any other year

id rather have a pair like arron rodgers and mike mcarthy because like the eagles i know they are good but unlike the eagles i havent seen overwhelming evidence from either of them that they cant do it...they at least give you the hope that comes with the unknown

btw the eagles have not beaten a single team that is in the playoffs this year...this could change if denver makes it or they beat dallas next week but what in that makes you at all giddy about their superbowl chances

I agree with all of ^^^^

Just in case anyone is keeping track.

because mpmcgraw said they were going to win the superbowl. and he knows sports. especially football.

[SunMo]

fyi, they haven't beat a playoff team all year

[phattymatty]

i feel like i just read that somewhere.

[SunMo]

oh oops

[mpmcgraw]

fyi, they haven't beat a playoff team all year

The fact that they beat those teams MAY have been a contributing factor in them not making the playoffs.

Start of the 3rd, team driving well; "hey, maybe they will put a complete game together - against an afc west team to boot". Mcnabb drops back, has more time to throw than the average dump, and just whiffs a maddeningly familiar throwaway pass for an int. And just like that the team reverts to another instance of not putting a complete game together.

Yes, they won - but by getting a few intangibles like a favorable booth review. Yet luck eventually regresses to the mean with that shtein going the other way like in the last nfccg, etc.

A year ago their rap was "slow start", having to climb out of a hole. Now its mid-game - the ability to put a team away. And so I remain unconvinced. All this win means is that not as much shtein gets broken around the house.

Giants likely, panthers possibly.

The only adjustment the staff can make is, throw all the time when they are up.

Favorable booth review? It wasn't even close to not being a catch. It was a clear catch. It was the correct call.

And the call against Harris was bogus and completely changed the momentum of the game.

Denver, perhaps.
