This Team Will NOT Win Anything... Ever.

[Sgt PSN]

i don't know if i'd consider denver a "legit" playoff team.  legit teams don't go 2-7 after starting 6-0.  then again, i guess the argument could be made that legit teams don't lose to the raiders either. 

[terpseagles]

11-4 overall
9-2 in the NFC
4-1 in the NFC East.
#2 scoring offense in the NFC
#3 scoring offense in the NFL

2nd half offensive trouble against Denver.  hmmm, Denver has also held other teams to low scoring in the 2nd half this year - held the Colts to 7 in the 2nd half... the Giants to 6... the Patriots to ZERO and Dallas to ZERO... just to name a few.

But sure - no chance for this team. 

Eff that - f*ck Dallas - f*ck 'em all - this team has as good a chance as any other team in the NFC to reach the Super Bowl and legit chance to win it.

I know that Denver's defense does play much in the second half, but I think the Eagles played right into their hands.  They stopped running the ball which every time they do that the offense sputters.  They kept running sets without Celek in there which made no sense he killed Denver in the first half.

Speaking of Celek did anyone notice they used him and Weaver for one on one blocking on Elvis Dumervil?

[General_Failure]

I noticed they had Celek doing it. I only noticed on the replay where they showed McNabb getting killed.

[JackStraw]

Denver didn't do so much in the third rather than the eagles farged it up. Picks, penalties, fumbles. All really none of the donkeys doing.

To win 9 or 10 in a row to take the SB won't allow you many Q3's like yesterday or the week before.

[Munson]

IGY....all those coach and QB tandems you talked about, only 2 of them in the playoffs this year have ever made the SB together....Ken/Warner, and Brady/Hoodie.

Manning/Caldwell is pretty much the same thing as Manning/Dungy so count them.

Favre hasn't made a super bowl since 97 and chokes hard in the playoffs every year.

Oh....and McNabb/Reid. That tandem actually has won in the playoffs and made it to a SB.



It's funny that you point to these other QB/Coach combo's and say the Eagles havn't proven anything when McNabb/Reid have actually been further than 66% of the other QB/Coach tandems in these playoffs.

Absolutely true - but the same goes for all other NFC teams still alive, no?

Dallas - can't afford losses like they've had in December this year (Giants, SD) - or in years past.

Minny - can't afford 1 straight loss in the postseason, let alone 2 out of 3 as they have just had - throw in QB/Coach powerstruggle and a vanishing AP running game.

N.O. - can't afford a loss - let alone 2 straight as they've just had (ahem - loss at home to the Bucs???  Doesn't make the Raiders game look so bad in my opinion)

Cards - again - just recently sharted on MNF against the 49ers.

Hell - the team not many people mention around here, and who quite frankly I think is becoming the team to worry about - is the Packers - even if they do get a bunch of Ws against the likes of the Da Bears, St. Louis, Detriot and Cleveland, etc. 

Remind me again - WHY don't the Eagles have a shot this year ?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Man, some of you fargers are miserable. The win wasn't pretty. The offense shtein all over themselves in the second half. The punting was terrible as was Macho Harris. McNabb was off for awhile too.

But, they did what they had to do to win. If they don't win that game, if McNabb doesn't run to turn the field position around or doesn't make that throw to Maclin, the lot of youse who are ripping them for winning ugly would be bombs away on McNabb not leading them to a win, by whatever means possible.

And igy, did you drop Romo's name as some all world QB in one of your posts? lol.

Hey miserable people - if you're a Saints fan, what are you saying about dropping a bomb to the Bucs? What are you saying if you're a Vikings fan over the last two weeks?

It's a wide open NFC and the Eagles are winning. Ugly at times, but winning. And if they win a Super Bowl with missed tackles, wormburners and whatever other things deemed disgusting, then so be it.

[Drunkmasterflex]

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.

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.

This is the biggest thing that I have noticed coming down the stretch.  They have made plays when they need to.  I am really trying not to get too excited because I know that I am only setting myself up for a big letdown. 

[Rome]

this thread turned out worse than i ever expected.

yay.


ps: i'm in asheville, nc this week.  holy shtein it's beautiful up here.

[Rome]

reid has said countless times that they throw to get a big lead and then run the ball.  um... they didn't yesterday.  they continued to throw like iceholes same as always.

and i don't even blame macho harris for the fumbled ko after the td.  he has no business returning kicks any more than reno did a few years ago.  and honestly, i thought he got hit with a helmet to helmet shot there anyway.

still... nothing changes with these clowns, hence the thread.

and for the record, no, i wasn't happy with that win.  not at all.   so farg all of you.

[NC_Eagle]

6th NFC Championship, but no SB.

I don't give a farg about them beating any NFC teams the rest of the year.  The only game that I give a shtein about now is beating one more AFC team.  If they can't do that, this season is a failure.  Do I think this team will stop Manning and the Colts, or the Chargers?  farg no.

[ice grillin you]

And igy, did you drop Romo's name as some all world QB in one of your posts? lol.

yeah i said he was possibly one of the qb's mcnabb would have to go thru to win a superbowl....is there something inaccurate about that

[Munson]

YEah, the fact that it's not worth mentioning.

IGY....all those coach and QB tandems you talked about, only 2 of them in the playoffs this year have ever made the SB together....Ken/Warner, and Brady/Hoodie.

Manning/Caldwell is pretty much the same thing as Manning/Dungy so count them.

You can't say you have no faith in McNabb/Reid and then point to other coaches and QB's that havn't even made it as far as them.
