whatever bitch, you win... McNabb is the greatest player ever to have lived and all the dogs that play on the team with him should be fired, cause McNabb is the only reason the Eagles have ever won a game.

Thats why McNabb has so many rings on his fingers and why the entire city of Philadelphia loves him, because hes the greatest evah!

I love you

I think the bottom line is what you said earlier. We view success differently. You think anything short of a title is a failure. i don't. I think what Philly has accomplished over the last ten years is the greatest span of success that franchise has ever enjoyed and the coach, QB and certain players should be lauded. I think the owner should be proud. I think the team is making a ton of money.

But I understand your thinking. Its just differrent than mine thats all.

I didnt mean to call you a bitch, you just piss me off. It must be love lol...

you have to think from a perspective of a Philadelphia sporty fan... we dont get many championships in this major sports city (thank GOD for the Phillies), we are SOOO STARVING for a Superbowl title that anything less than that is failure. (IMO and lots of other Eagles fans agree... Declan is actually a pretty level-headed birds fan, you dont find too many of them).

Even if McNabb had four losses in the NFC Championship game... but in that 5th one he won and THEN won the Superbowl, I'd love McNabb & Reid till I died and get McNabbs sexy face tatoo'd over my heart. I'm just waiting for something thats not going to happen.

Fans don't give a damn how much money teams make. All they want is championships. It also doesn't help when all the other teams in your division(that you despise) have had success multiple times. They have been close for a while, they needed to close the deal this time. You might call it a successful season. I guess you can say that based on their playoff chances being on life support late in the season. But realistically (in my opinion, which means zilch) they are the better team, and were within 7 minutes of going to Tampa. They couldn't close the deal and get it done with that supposedly vaunted defense they have. That last 7 minutes turned an argueably successful season, into another bitter failure. And questions of what could of been.

I know what you are saying. My point was merely that the money they make is another sign that they are a successful franchise thats all.

My opinion of the eagles? They have groomed a couple of good young lineman to go along with another good young linebacker and they will add more pieces in the offseason. This team is primed to be very good again next year.

i think the eagles and ravens were out of gas.they were both playing for the lives the last couple weeks and needed help to make the playoffs. you can only keep that up for so long.

I agree with the Ravens. They aren't built to come from behind, let alone against a defense like Pittsburgh. But for the Eagles it's inexcuseable. You hear alot about their defense all year long (with good reason). You have the lead with seven minutes left and the NFC championship on the line. You have to get it done, tired or not. Opportunities like this don't come often. It wasn't like they were on the field alot in the second half. The defense was dominant for 23 plus minutes in the second half, but it was the last 7 which costed them a trip to Tampa.

Ah, yet another championship failure for Fat Andy & Co.


What else is new...




And it looks like Fat Andy and Don will be back for another go next season.






Isn't that special..........................






By the way, on a side note, certainly no surprise to see that the Stillers best player (#43) is an SC product.

I just think he lies somewhere in the middle of where you two are saying. Definitely not as good as Dala thinks and not as bad as Uncly thinks.

i do NOT blame McNabb for this loss, its all on the D.

I actually think McNabb is incredibly talented, and when he uses his legs and takes off running, he could be the best QB in the league. But his record in the big games speak for themself, and I am tired of getting my hopes up and my dreams shattered.

i agree. He runs the 2 min drill much better at the end of the first half than at the end of the game..


what i dont understand is how larry fitz can do what he does... can anybody in the league cover him without using 2/3 men?? he's unreal. Warner is also a cool customer in those big games... 4TD passes. nice game by Kurt, and he didnt give up any turnovers, which were part of the reason the Eagles crushed them in November...

Philly is lucky to have him.
He is a damn good QB.

But...
For anyone who actually watched the game,
McNabb was bad in the first part of the game.
He missed, underthrew and overthrew open receivers,
two of which would have been touchdowns after the run.
14-6 would have been 14-14.

He got in rythym and was very, very good. He was putting
short and long passes right on the money allowing receivers
to catch in stride and make even more yardage. He was also
given very good protection for most of the game. He had
eons of time to hit some very wide open receivers.

The next to last drive (last drive there was, what 9 secs left?)
he again made some bad passes but then came through hitting
Curtis on the money. Pass interference. I really thought the Eagles
offense as a whole played well considering Westbrook half speed.
But Warner and Fitzgerald ripped them a new one. The D was
beaten by a very hot team offensively. The Cardinals really are
playing very well offensively. Pittsburg had better hit Warner
in the mouth all game or they too will get scored on.

ONe thing no one has really talked about.

A. Boldin screaming at the Cards offensive Coordinator
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FCKN GAME WHILE HE IS MAKING
CALLS??????

I would give him a good bhatch slap up side the head and run.
The O-lineman on the Cards should have physically
sat his butt down. You dont screw with the offensive coord.
while the offense is on the field and he is trying to make
calls. That was absolutely absurd, worse than TO behavior.

i'll agree DM might not take control all the time he should. his mates don't always help him by making a play or catch when he needs it. at times i don't think reid's play sequences are very good either.

i shouldn't say this but DM in a viking uni and the viks would be a Very dangerous team. imo.
