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.

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.

A full decade now of the Fat Andy and Don show in Philly ... and still no ring in sight.


Ya don't have to be a genius to figure this out, declansharbor. Heck, even Anti-thirst32 should have this one figured out by now.



But, just for fun, let's consult a genius anyway:
