This Team Will NOT Win Anything... Ever.

I get it. Eagles lost the Super Bowl SOLELY because of McNabb.

I hate this farging fanbase.

Are you crying right now?

The Defense gave up way more than it should have, but the offense was inept outside of TO.  Donovan when he had to come up biggest threw 2 picks, one to seal the game high above LJ's hands, not to mention he threw up on the field.  Where was westbrook that game, shtein Pinkston was having the game of his life up until his vagina flared

lol drama queen

he was no. 1 on the list, yes. he also threw away the tampa game, was non existent/injured in the carolina game, and failed to lead a winning/tying drive in the rams and cardinals games. just...yea. thats his legacy. those games. where he didnt do enough. but its always someone elses fault.

his defense gave up 24 points to a great offense with an epic qb. on what planet is that their fault. mcnabbs brutal picks (one in the endzone, one midway through a drive) were the game. the sorry excuse for a 2 minute drill and ensuing puke were the cherry on top of a miserable performance.

i wouldn't say the 04 pats offense was "great" but it was probably among the most efficient and balanced i've ever seen.  in other words, they didn't light up the scoreboard, but they didn't turn the ball over very much and they didn't have a lot of 3 and outs that would keep their defense on the field. 

that's one thing that concerns me about this current eagles team......they have a big play/quick strike offense, which is great, but it also does put the defense on the field for more snaps and can wear them down throughout the course of a game.  during the current winning streak, the offense has done a much better job of sustaining drives and chewing up clock but that was far from the case during the first 10 weeks of the season.  as long as the eagles don't fall back into the mindset that they need to score quickly every time they have the ball then i think their chances of a deep playoff run improve.  the less time this defense spends on the field, the better.

again, he wins a SB, its all forgotten, but he had his chance once before on his hands and he literally puked

youre assuming it will be a big play offense against playoff teams...something it hasnt shown yet

[MDS]

which is why its tough is jump on the bandwagon and forget about the five other times he and his coach failed. they arent an overtly dominating team that is far and away better than everyone else. they are in the mix and could conceivably pull it off. but to think that mcnabb will magically, this time, out play 3-4 playoff caliber teams in a row when hes never done in it his career despite seven chances is kind of crazy.

jack is right about sunday...its going to be unbelievably interesting to see how they respond in a spot they havent been in yet this season...which is a national spotlight road game against a playoff team

they win sunday and i become impressed while my hopes get tangibly raised

seriously?  plays of 20+ yds

vs no:  71 yd td to pimp, 37 yd to celek, 26 yd to avant, 26 yd to celek, 21 yd to celek

vs dal:  20 yd pass to avant, 23 yd to avant, 20 yd to celek, 45 yd to mccoy, 20 yd to pimp

vs sd:  22 yd to pimp, 27 yds to avant, 58 yds to avant, 28 yds to maclin

vs atl*:  59 yds to weaver, 56 yds to maclin, 43 yds to brown

vs nyg*:  not even going to bother with this game because there were about 10 plays over 20 yds. 

vs sf* and vs den*:  if you can't remember the last 2 weeks then farg off. 

* = teams in playoff contention at game time. 

you'll probably notice that the first 3 games resulted in losses and the last 4 on the list were wins.  it should be noted that in the 4 wins on that list, the eagles ran fairly well balanced offenses and had some clock eating drives to go along with the occasional quick strike drive.

lol at me crying. Sure, when in doubt, cue the "you're a girl/drama queen" posts.

as we stand right here right now...aint a damn thing changed

I just plain disagree with that, but I can see how you would think that way. Until they win the Superbowl, there is really no arguing any different. Eagle fans are so desperate for a championship nothing else will suffice. But, I can't help but feel after watching them win games that they really could have lost, that the young talent on this team has infused a new attitude. Especially Pimp. His love for the game and his in your face attitude is infectious. You can see it rubbing off on this team. Even with Andy Reid and his 1/2" off the ground chest bump, or whatever that was.

^This^. I think most all of us feel this way. I don't think this is the Cowboy team of the last two years. I said at the begining of the season that they'd be better off without TO, and they are. He was a cancer. Romo is playing better than he ever has. He seems more in control. And the Dallas D is playing at a high level right now. Win this game and Superbowl hopes are raised 10 fold.
