Congrats to...

I took the subway to the game today only knowing that the teams we needed to win were in a dogfight. I had a horrible feeling that Tom Cable's playcall towards teh end was going to ruin it for us, he's too simplistic. Had my old man tape teh game for me so I will watch it tomorrow after work...My day was pretty much dampened by an 'in-house' issue that I ho[pe everything works out for us...Never in a million years would I think the Eagles backdooring into the playoffs would be marred by ANYTHING, but I was wrong...

With that said....


Now that we're in, ANYTHING can happen.

I've been harsh on Andy from time to time, but it was tough not to be and I believe warranted. The rollercoaster of a year was at floor level for too much of it. From questionable(at best) playcalling to arrogance in his personnel decisions, he drew teh ire from all of us true Eagle fans...Watching Donovan on teh sidelines when the game was in the bag made it all worthwhile. If we would only give him his wideout that demands a double team, we wiould be in BUSINESS, every year...

I usually hate the Cowboys, but tonite I love them....that team is yesterday's mayonnaise...stinking like a bag of neglected armpits and overused, underwashed beef curtains...gang of miscreants..

disclaimer: Im drunk. NOne of this will make sense...will clean it up tomorrow..

GO BIRDS!!

Now you're talkin!

Exactly. The cast that they have surrounded Mcnabb with during his time in Philly is tragic. Give him just one guy.

Fat Andy may "win games", dalakhani … but he still hasn't won the BIG game … and, frankly, I doubt he ever will.

Didn't Fat Andy have the final say on personnel moves ... for the last TEN years?

Yes he did. But...how long did it take cowher to win a superbowl? What is so much different between Reid's first ten years and Cowher's? Would you not consider Cowher's tenure in Pittsburgh successful?

Only took Chucky a year in TB, dalakhani

Probably not much ... it's that fourteenth season of Cowher's, though, that will probably always keep him a notch or two above Fat Andy on the head coaching scale.


As a Birds fan, I hope I'm wrong...

Who would you rather have in as HC, Booth?? I'll admit. After the Bungles fiasco, I thought for sure that change was needed/imminent. The fact is that these guys(players/coaches) never give up. That counts for something in this day and age. Look at the Cowgirls and Bucs esp., folding like 2-7 offsuit out of position. As okay as the Raiders have been playing as of late, there was no way the Bucs should have given up that lead in the 4th, NO WAY. Heartless.

Andy's light years ahead of any coach this franchise has EVER had. I'm not saying he's perfect, as no coach is, but he gives us a chance to win every year. All he needs to do is tweak up his playcalling(a little stale) and come to grips that we need a WR that demands a double-team that openS up the passing lanes for everyone else. An offense that predicates itself on throwing the ball as much as he does, should have the right parts in place. If that happens, we'll be FINE. We would have to take two steps backwards if we let him go and quite honestly, I don't see anyone out there worth the RISK.

I'll say it again for the millionth time. The worst thing that could've happened to this team, happened in '04. TO got hurt and we still got to the SB with guys like Thrash, Pinkston, and F. Mitchell. That right there gave the brass false assurance that we can get to teh promised land with 2nd and 3rd tier recievers. After that year, they thought it was his system that got us there and that we can interchange parts without using a true number 1 and still win.

Once he and Lurie realize this to be false, combined with a rushing attack that sets up the play-action (much like NYG), they will be in the hunt every year that they are together. God I this team, ringless and all. Brings a smile to my face everytime I think about this group. Even if they were to lose, I'll be fine with it, as long as Donovan comes back and my 2nd fave player Mikell keeps playing at this level. Not really, but that would ease the pain alittle.

GO BIRDS!!!
