yes, the D sucked. yes, akers sucked. but how am i not a true fan for calling it like i see it? is being a fan all about blind faith? Thats fine, its safer for guys like you to be a follower. Me? I'm going to say what i see.as for me going anywhere...no chance. i will be here forever. deal with it.
enjoy your annual crushing defeat. I'm not going anywhereAs predicted, the resident asswhole comes out after the Eagles lose.BuddyKnuckles said:So tell me, did you think that that Philly would be in the NFC Championship game before the season started? No, of course you didn't. They totally overacheived and you know it. I've also told you exactly what you'd do when and if the Eagles finally lost. Yeah, he sucks because he couldn't win three straight road playoff games. :( Also, McNabb had 375 yards and 3 Tds. He also rushed for 31 yards. Only a few less than Westbrook. The defense, Westbrook, and Akers were far more responsible for this loss than Mcnabb was. Sure, he didn't throw for a 100% completion percentage, but he led them back when they were down 24-6. He also hit Curtis in the hands on the 4th and 10 play at teyh end of the game.Your shtick is old and tiresome. Go find a team with a perfect quarterback. Good luck.
yep, feels great. I know what the #### i am talking about. oh, and i am positive that if McNabb would have pulled this one out and come through in the clutch (yeah, right), then there would be dozens of my quotes in here right now.Nothing like patting yourself on the back after your favorite team loses huh BK?i'm like, a prophet or something.a lot of good, level-headed posts in here, and i admittedly was fired up last night. BUT, i still have McNabb in my sights today (figuratively of course)
You guys who defend him are like moths flying around a big bug zapper. yeah, he looked great for 3 quarters of that game. Yeah, he made plays that very few other QBs could have made. But when it comes down to it, when the game is on the line, and when you need a clutch performance at the penultimate moment, McNabb simply cannot deliver.
Of course the D is to blame for the loss. Because if they dont get McNabb a double digit lead in the 4th quarter, he will find a way to blow it. Of course the WRs need to be better. Oh wait, they found a way to get open in the 1st 3 quarters and then magically couldnt get separation in the 4th qtr. C'mon, i'm not buying it.
McNabb hit the panic button, hard. He always has and he always will. I've always been a HUGE McNabb fan. But i simply do not believe in him anymore. The Eagles will be a playoff team, at best, with him at QB. nothing more, nothing less. So, all you defenders out there, hope you enjoy your 10-6 season and the crushing playoff loss that comes with it.
So, yeah, listen to me, i am smarter than most of you. I will help open your eyes to the truth.
You sure you like the Eagles? They lose in the NFC Championship game and you can't wait to come online to tell everyone you were right. You are a strange man. But hey, if you get off on telling the internet about how you knew your favorite team was going to lose, then have a ball I guess, you were right.
"A wise man told me don't argue with fools..." BK got exactly what he wanted, let him enjoy it.Personally, I really enjoyed the season, including the NFC championship game. I would have loved for the Eagles to win, but the Cardinals played great. What a comeback though??? Oh well, I can't wait until next year. This team will contend again and doesn't need much to improve. Time to look towards the draft!As predicted, the resident asswhole comes out after the Eagles lose.BuddyKnuckles said:Calling all mcnabb apologists. Please tell me about how great he played in the 3rd qtr of this game. you know...before it really mattered

the loss hurts. stings. sucks. So, yeah i am finding solace in knowing that i called this thing months ago. The eagles should hire me. i called this season way back in September. didnt count on the tie, but otherwise i nailed it. 10-6, crushing playoff loss. bingo.
explain what i have no idea about, please. The fact that i called this months ago? The fact that i have said repeatedly that this is a team loss, but McNabb shares a good portion of the blame? That McNabb cant hit a guy in stride to save Mama McNabbs life?And how many times do i have to say it. I...am..not...going...anywhere. hell, even if they decide to IP ban me, i have ways to get in here. i will be at home games. i will be ta away games. i will cheer, and yes i will boo. i will speak my mind. dont like it? go away.
It's not about blind faith...it's about faith period. I watch the game having faith that they're gonna pull it out in the end, you watch the game hoping they lose (and McNabb in particular) so you can boast about it on a message board. That's not being a fan, that's being a moron. Your shtick is old, why don't you jump on the Cardinals bandwagon now and then rip Warner when they lose the SB, go try it on another team, it's old and tiresome.
You play both sides of the fence so that you can come out smelling like a rose either way. If the Eagles win a Super Bowl, you'll be Mr-Eagle-Fan, if they don't- McNabb sucks. Same shtick every year. You are the very definition of a fair weather fan.I know you define any playoff loss as 'having your heart ripped out', but are you intelligent enough to know that there are 28 teams who failed to get as far as Philly did this year?Oh, and congratulations on such a successful season. You got outlast 28 other teams' fans, and you still got to pretend that it was McNabb (despite his 406 total yards and 3TDs) who lost the game for the eagles. You're wonderful.
You're predictions are great. More vague than Nostradamus. Mcnabb should have pushed the easy button to get that last drive. I mean he pushed it the last 3 drives, WHY DIDN"T HE PUSH THE BUTTON!? What a choker. If he had scored tho, the "BIG GAME" would have been the superbowl. IF he won that he would have been 1-100 in "BIG SITUATIONS". assuming they won by a td with 0 seconds left, and it wasn't a dump off to the running back.
I'm sorry, which side of the ball gave up 32 points?
This guy is a fairly common example of Eagles fans. I just left a couple at the bar. I think they'd rather lose with McNabb just to complain about how bad he is than win with him. I didn't realize McNabb dropped several balls they he threw to himself. I didn't realize he was playing when the Card went on their fourth quarter run and I didn't realize he called the plays for both sides of the ball. Does he bear some of the blame for this loss? Sure. But this loss wasn't just because of what the Eagles didn't do....but what the Cards did. People tend to forget that.yep, feels great. I know what the #### i am talking about. oh, and i am positive that if McNabb would have pulled this one out and come through in the clutch (yeah, right), then there would be dozens of my quotes in here right now.Nothing like patting yourself on the back after your favorite team loses huh BK?i'm like, a prophet or something.a lot of good, level-headed posts in here, and i admittedly was fired up last night.

And what side should have put up 41 against a Rod Hood on one corner D?
finally, a fellow voice of reason. there's a whole lot of blind lemmings in here though, Slider, watch your step
How am i playing both sides of the fence? By saying that McNabb will choke, but also by hoping, praying, and practically pleading for a win? So, again, because i criticize the Starting QB, and expect a crushing playoff loss, i am not allowed to cheer for the team? I dont get it. If i am a fan, i am only allowed to agree with everything the team does? True fans dont ever disagree witht he team or the players? I've been saying since September that this would happen. I was almost fooled into believing again the past few weeks. But, turns out...i was right all along.People said we needed to improve our D, well we had a top 5 D this year. Yes, they could have played better today, but they also should have been down only 21-17 at the half. I thought they played ok against a sick Cardinals Offense.Then they said McNabb needed a playmaker. Well, Jackson and Curtis were open all day today and McNabb only found them once down the field. Even that one needed a complete miss by their CB (Cromrartie i think) and a great play by Jackson. They said he needed a balanced offense to keep the pressure off the passing game. Well, they ran the ball plenty until they were down by 3 scores. No choice but to throw then. Didnt help though, McNabb threw wild all day. And finally, the INT was NOT bad luck. McNabb threw into triple coverage when the underneath throw was wide open. What was luck is that Jackson made a play and kept the Cards from going up 21-3.As for adding some value, ok fine...trade for Boldin. He was on the bench during that last drive and VERY unhappy about it. Get that guy on the Eagles no matter it takes, Give them Lito and a 1st. Hell, give them Lito, a first and Mrs McNabb. Next, bring back Garcia to compete with McNabb for the starting job. Garcia was Gruden's boy and i doubt their new coach will keep him. Yes, Garcia is fragile, but we wouldnt need him for 16 games if he and McNabb were on the roster. Then, next year (2010), move up in the draft and get Bradford. He is the type of accurate passer the WCO needs. Lastly, get Westbrook some help. He is 30, at the end of the road, and breaks down in big ways at the end of the season. He is now what Faulk was at the end of his career, a situational back who needs another RB to split time with. RBs grow on trees these days, so they can find one in free agency or in the draft.And this is without even looking yet at the free agent lists and examining the draft class.
Yeah, because Garcia's clutch performance against Oakland in week 17 was the stuff champions are made of.
You're a genius!
No, you are. He didn't play D and their D pretty much quit when Kiffin announced he was leaving. He did make a star out of Bryant with no RB to speak of.Yeah, because Garcia's clutch performance against Oakland in week 17 was the stuff champions are made of.
exactly. Besides, i never said Garcia was THE answer. Just a stop gap to keep McNabb motivated until we can get a decent, young QB. At least Garcia is incredibly accurate, something which the WCO desperately needs. He just freelances too much, which is why Reid/Banner never considered keeping him. They need a true corporate lackey like mcnabbNo, you are. He didn't play D and their D pretty much quit when Kiffin announced he was leaving.

:( It's all about the defense now, talking about Garcia. Before it was we'll eagles got destroyed on D, but Mcnabb put up 400 yards and 3 tds, he has to win anyway. Ahhh, Tangled in your own web of BS.exactly. Besides, i never said Garcia was THE answer. Just a stop gap to keep McNabb motivated until we can get a decent, young QB.

was that even english? WTF are you talking about? seriously dude, put the beer down, you've had enough. You said Garcia had no d down the strecth and helped bryant play great. I agreed.

Thank you. And i guess we can respectfully disagree on garcia. I liked him. He had heart, was accurate, and was a winner. but yeah, i can understand not wanting him. And i agree this is a total team loss. I am an Eagles fan who is incredibly frustrated with a team that i feel should have at least 1, if not 2 SB rings from the past decade.See, if more people took your approach, we could have a good discussion. Instead, some people get all fired up when i say anything negative about the Eagles. So, naturally i will throw some gasoline on their little inferno.
Pretty easy to understand dude. You blame McNabb for loss, even though he had no D. Then you excuse Garcia for his loss because he had no D. The lmao emoticon was me laughing at you caught in your own BS.was that even english? WTF are you talking about? seriously dude, put the beer down, you've had enough.

Mo worries. Jeff's a mod and he already realizes that BK is a tool.Also, question to the mods: is he allowed to call me a donkey? I'd like to call him something back, but don't want to get booted. And if it is allowed I don't just want to call him a donkey back, so it doesn't seem fair.was that even english? WTF are you talking about? seriously dude, put the beer down, you've had enough.

BK...enough is enough. Most of us #5 supporters have already acknowledged that McNabb wasn't awesome today. He didn't pick the team up when we needed him to and carry us to the promised land.Where we're different is that we realize this is a TEAM FREAKING GAME, and that a QB carrying their team like Mcnabb needed to today is a rare occurance. Even the greatest QB's in history don't succeed every time.What I don't get is how two-faced you are about it all. Had the D held in the fourth...McNabb would be the hero for another week after leading an INCREDIBLE COMEBACK. This was a TEAM LOSS...not a McNABB LOSS. Now, please, for the love of all that is good in sports, go cry in a beer or something and shut the F up already. WE DO NOT NEED, NOR DO WE WANT , YOUR PARTICULAR BRAND OF FAN SUPPORT, BECAUSE IT IS CANCEROUS AND NON-PRODUCTIVE.
Enjoy the flight home, super defense.You said they are as talented; clearly they are not. The Cardinals defense allowed an average of 26 pts a game & were the 19th ranked defense. There's really no point in discussing it any further.Um, you forgot to bold the next sentence where I admited they are inconsistant. I did not say they were a better defense, I said they were as talented.DRC is just as talented as Asante, but he is young and inconsistent, therfore not better.No it isn't. It's not even close & there is nothing that can substantiate your homer opinion.The Eagles wide receivers are as good as the Cardinals....because I say so.Well, the Cowgirls did have to score 10 points in the final two minutes of that game to even send it to overtime, but whatever. Tony did break his pinky in that game, so I would say we beat them up enough to cost them a few games. Your welcome Iggles.
Both these teams are talented and HOT, so this should be a great game. I think the Cards will have more of a home field advantage than they are getting credit for, but the Eagles are obviously capable of dealing with a hostile environment. IMO, this game is exactly like the previous two games for the Cards, if their defense shows up, they win. If not, they lose. But this defense is every bit as talented as the Eagles D that every one is praising. However, they are just not as experienced, which makes them inconsistent IMO.
Good Luck Iggles...I'll be at the game BOOING the heck out of you guys and going wild for my REDBIRDS!
Karlos Dansby is better than any LB on your team.
Adrian Wilson is every bit as talented as Dawkins.
Darnell Dockett is as talented as any DL on your team and has played that way the last two games.
Just to make it clear, I respect the Phili defense, and admit they are playing great. Not so sure why it is so hard for Eagle fans to admit the same thing about the Cardinals.
That is why I love the NFL, all questions will be answered on Sunday.
The screen pass shouldn't have worked. The Cards were expecting blitz and the Eagles sat back, but the D over-pursued especially Dawk, who should have been able to keep him out of the endzone. Overall...I think the Birds needed more out of Brian Dawkins.
Gruden worked for Ray Rhodes when he was Eagles' OC, not Reid.
alright, i'm done for now. We all deal with tragedies in our own ways. I lash out. Especially at choke artists...damn, sorry, i am going to try not to do that anymore. Lets see what the draft looks like and who is around on Feb 27 when FA starts. This truly was a complete team loss. I texted a friend in the 1st half and said "i didnt know a whole team could choke". You all know how i feel about 5. Hopefully the FO can make enough moves to cover his deficiencies. But, you gotta admit, i can get some people riled up.
Just point me to the nearest Cowgirls/Deadskins/Gnats message board when a little venom is needed.
This team needs A LOT. Let's start with spending money more wisely this offseason. As good as Samuels is and as well as he played, did we really need to make that move? We basically wasted a roster spot and his salary in the person of Lito Sheppard. Sheppard and Brown were a great tandem. We need a WR. The NFL is built for offense. WRs are 6-4. DBs are 5-10. Then DBs can't do anything. I kind of hope the Cardinals win the Super Bowl to prove this point. As for specific needs, the OTs are older than dirt. So is Dawkins. I love the guy. And I want him back and I want him to start. But they need to do a better job of making sure he isn't put in so many bad positions."A wise man told me don't argue with fools..." BK got exactly what he wanted, let him enjoy it.Personally, I really enjoyed the season, including the NFC championship game. I would have loved for the Eagles to win, but the Cardinals played great. What a comeback though??? Oh well, I can't wait until next year. This team will contend again and doesn't need much to improve. Time to look towards the draft!As predicted, the resident asswhole comes out after the Eagles lose.BuddyKnuckles said:So tell me, did you think that that Philly would be in the NFC Championship game before the season started? No, of course you didn't. They totally overacheived and you know it. I've also told you exactly what you'd do when and if the Eagles finally lost. Yeah, he sucks because he couldn't win three straight road playoff games.
Also, McNabb had 375 yards and 3 Tds. He also rushed for 31 yards. Only a few less than Westbrook. The defense, Westbrook, and Akers were far more responsible for this loss than Mcnabb was.

Your shtick is old and tiresome. Go find a team with a perfect quarterback. Good luck.
Might want to add Kicker to that list. Akers came on strong at the end of the year, but he was struggling early. I say bring someone into camp to at least challenge his spot .RB - I love McCoy out of Pitt, though i doubt he drops to 21. Percy Harvin could be interesting. He should be around at 21 and 28. As for FA RBs, Jacobs, Sproles, and D Ward seem to be the big 3. No way the Gnats can resign both of those guys right? Ward or Sproles could be a great way to split time with Westy. How about LT? He looks old and oft-injured, but maybe if he splits time with Westy they can both stay healthyWR - HAVE to get one unless Avant of Baskett really develop this offseason. McNabb just needs a true #1...i'll leave it at that
OT - need 2. seems to be 3 good ones and then some 2nd+ rd guys. hard to scout these guys before the senior bowl as i dont pay much attention to them while watching CFB.D - Depends on what Dawk does and how much this game affects Demps status. He really blew chunks in the NFCCG, both physically and mentally. Too soon to tell before the FA period
I absolutely deserved this one. Good luck; I'll be rooting for your Cards.Enjoy the flight home, super defense.You said they are as talented; clearly they are not.

Your act is so old. I sincerely hope you are not as big a tool in real life as your message board tough guy act. You are an idiot.

Glad you think that...i'm willing to bet you wouldnt say a word to me if we passed in the street. Matter of fact, you probably would move to the other side of the street. Its ok though, as a 6'4 black guy i am used to it.
Yeah, I know.
You can count me in this minority opinion. If you are an Eagles fan and have watched McNabb every week throughout his career, you will see the same pattern year after year. He'll win you plenty of games, no doubt. But when the big game is on the line, he comes up small. I don't care about his 19 point comeback in the second half. If he didn't play such an awful first half, the Eagles would have never been in such a deficit. People seem to trivialize the significance of the poor throws he made throughout the game, and they want to focus only on his nice overall stat line. I've posted this in other threads, McNabb doesn't seem to have it in him to put together a game winning drive. All the great QBs have shown that ability AT LEAST ONCE in a crucial game to put an exclamation point on their careers.So what's the alternative for next season? My feeling is... you drafted Kolb to be the future. Give the kid a full training camp and preseason and let's see what he can do. As a fan of this team, I'm willing to watch him go through some growing pains. It'll be LESS painful then watching this team get knocked out of the playoffs every year by teams they should beat.
