Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

Oh no, he's rich lazy and stupid.

So Doug admitted not everyone gave it 100% yesterday

Starts with you, pal.

[QB Eagles]

The real problem is that Doug did give 100%.

[QB Eagles]

I find this funny actually:

he's such a rebel.

[QB Eagles]

From the "how the farg is that possible?" file, the Eagles lead the NFL in time of possession. Maybe that's what happens when your offense is only capable of moving 4 yards at a time and loses 100 yards a game to penalties, while your defense regularly gets burned deep.

[smeags]

well, that is a 180 from chippy.

[General_Failure]

I can't wait to see the continued 180 where they get a bunch of star players and the coaching improves every season. Those are definitely things that will happen.

To bad we'll all be dead.

Aikman again details the time he almost became an Eagle


Hall of Fame former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman again drew the interest of NFL fans this week when he detailed the time he considered — for a day — an offer to come out of retirement and play for the Eagles.

Although Aikman has told the story before, his comments this week suggested that he was more seriously considering the offer during the 2002 season than he has previously let on.

"I retired, got into broadcasting. Then it was two years later when I got a call from Andy Reid in the middle of a game that I was broadcasting after Donovan McNabb had broken his leg," Aikman said, via the Dallas Morning News. "He wanted me to sign with Philadelphia and come out of retirement right then and go to work for them. And I gave it some consideration – actually I told Andy I was going to sleep on it and call him in the morning. I called my producer at FOX and asked him what he thought my career was long-term in television. Then I called [former Cowboys offensive coordinator] Norv Turner and talked to him about it from the football perspective. And I woke up the next morning and I just thought, 'Man, is this something I really want to do?' And I decided against it. So I called Andy and said, 'Look. I appreciate the interest, but I'm going to stay put and best of luck.' And they ended up going on and having success with A.J. Feely. And ultimately they made it to the NFC Championship Game that year."

Ahh, A J Feely. Should have put this in the good ol days thread.

Or the WAGS thread...

[QB Eagles]

For masochists, I did find the crazy scenario where the Eagles still make the playoffs. No ties or any of that bullshtein. Tampa has to win the NFC South, the Eagles have to end up tied with the Falcons and Vikings, the Vikings must be ahead of the Packers in the North (same record is okay), and the Cards and Skins can't advance beyond 7 wins. If the Saints or Panthers get to 8-8, it's not a problem.

Now you'll know the exact moment the Eagles are eliminated, if by some miracle they win in Baltimore.

Eagles win out (@Ravens, Giants, Cowboys)
Washington loses out (Panthers, @Bears, Giants)
Falcons lose out (49ers, @Panthers, Saints)
Vikings beat Packers, lose to Colts and Bears
Packers lose to Bears OR Lions
Cards lose to Saints OR Seahawks OR Rams
Bucs beat Cowboys OR Saints OR Panthers

[smeags]

[ice grillin you]

[Rome]

Ha!  Perfect.
