No one thought the Ravens would blow out the GiantsNo one gave the Pats a shot against the RamsNever lose hope, never surrender!I fear a blowout in the Super Bowl. If not a blowout, I'm afraid it will be a lousy game. Even so, we've been given some great playoff games this year. I can't remember as many close games.
Cheers
You're right...there's always a chance. Notice I didn't say it would be a blowout.No one thought the Ravens would blow out the Giants
No one gave the Pats a shot against the Rams
Never lose hope, never surrender!

This is definitely the wrong place to look for Eagles love. That's OK. I know we're a tight knit group of fans and anyone who isn't with us just won't understand. They don't know the heartache of 20+ years of championship futility (or care enough to feel it). We are a pissed off bunch and the respect will not come until we break the championship drought. We are faithful though that the day will come. Will it be the Eagles? The Flyers? Phillies? Six..ah who care about b-ball. Seems all of our sports teams are in the same situation - close enough to tease us, not quite good enough to satisfy us. We still tune in or buy our tickets because we love the team plus we are not fair weather fans. We were there through the 3-13 Kotite years and we're here for the team now. That alone will make the championship that much sweeter when the day finally comes! I truely believe that when the Lombardi trophy (or Stanley Cup) is finally hoisted, we will appreciate more than most other sports towns.And while we're still languishing in a championship desert, I'm still proud when my 8-year-old son goes off to school in his McNabb/LeClair/Phillies jersey! I just hope he does not have to suffer as much as I have!
Agreed.Seeing the post game interviews on Tivo, I was giddy to see BDawkins talking about how they just weren't going to lose that game, they'd come to far to not get to the Bowl this year. He said after the Pack went up 17-14, he huddled the defense and said, "our goal was to hold them to 17 or less, we still haven't failed, let's do what we have to do." And the rest as they say is history. I'm a big believer (whether the empirical evidence is there or not) that much of who wins in today's NFL comes down to preparedness and as importantly, focus and will. I believe that's why you see Super Bowl teams struggle to defend their crowns, it's just natural to have a bit less hunger after you've won the whole thing. That's why, in the NFC, I've felt all along that Philly was the team this year. No one wants it as bad as they do, and has the taste of coming so close (yet so far) to motivate them.Cheers

What do I really care, I'm a Raiders fan 
go AFC !!!Yeah, the Eagles D line push had nothing to do with it...can you say pulling guard?Do you really think Wahle intended to be 2 yds deep in the backfield? Or could it possible have been C. Simon pushing his #### back?? Can you say "incredible goal line stand"?
Bottom line, the boxcore shows a defensive stand. Pack lost. Next....Just watched the goal line stand (frame by frame)....pulling guard my ###. Nice try.can you say pulling guard?Do you really think Wahle intended to be 2 yds deep in the backfield? Or could it possible have been C. Simon pushing his #### back?? Can you say "incredible goal line stand"?
So is losing two in a row at home.
I would have preferred the Rams. Outside of the dome facing adversity and those guys fold like cheap tents. Carolina is going to line up andfor four quarters.
I forget who the EAGLES stole their fight song from - a Philly fan told me earlier, but it escapes me at the moment. As for the E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES chant - that is SO blatantly stolen frmo the J-E-T-S jets jets jets it is pathetic.There was a thread about this, this week...I railed about how queer fight songs were, only to be told by an Eagles fan that the "loser Bucs" don't have one. :rotflmao: FLY!
Would that be the same defense that the Eagles dropped 25 on IN CAROLINA in Week 13. The same game where neither Bobby Taylor or Brian Dawkins were playing?Now we get Carolina instead of the Rams, I couldn't be giddier.Cheers
true that....yes, that would be the same defense that was playing on a short field most of the day thanks to offensive miscues and a couple of missed feild goals. The birds scoring drives averaged 47 yards.yes, that would be the same defense that shut down the birds 3 times in the red zone and held them to field goals.
another sad chapter for the steagles...
beagles prohibitive favorite to get to the super bowl next year?at least you've "stepped up" and taken your medicine. Mr. Wood, despite being one of the best (and most frequent) posters on the board, has not had his humble pie. I think his many fans are eager for his expert analysis of wtf happened sunday.We'll be favored to win the division and a prohibitive favorite to get to the Superbowl.
I take it that you missed this thread?http://footballguys.net/forum/index.php?ac...f=2&t=65469&hl=
Not if Thrash & Pingston are starting... and that D needs someone to stop the run, though I definately think the Iggles will be competitive again next year. Be interesting to see what Dallas does in the offseason -- they could make it a nice race for the division.We'll come back in 2004 - just like every other season. We'll be favored to win the division and a prohibitive favorite to get to the Superbowl.
