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 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.

your preaching to the choir Mr. Booth. Don is talented but cant take us to the promise land. Big Red cant either.



Off topic - isnt choir a weird word when you write it? Should be like quier or something.

5 NFC championships and 1 SB loss is no ring in sight??? I'd guess that 95% of the league wishes they were this 'successful'. We'll get to the next level, and when we do, your not allowed to celebrate.
