    You mean the power to stink up the stadium?

    Look, the Bucs have owned the eagles in recent history...from the way the old stadium was shut down to the way the new one was broken in by the Bucs, it's always the same story:

    "BUCS WIN....BUCS WIN!!'

    This time will be no different.

    I live 135 miles south of Tampa and am sure we will feel the breeze when the air is let out of the Bucs balloon on that day.

    Axtell will learn to bow down to the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • just messing with you steve... i was flipping around mlb.tv at work and i heard the phillies fans booing david bell with his 2 errors and 5 left of base.

    Please, bow down to the Eagles?

    Do you think McNabb will make it to October before coming up lame again? Will he get a booboo the week before, and see the monstrous Tampa D, and sit it out?

    Caddy will be in his second season, Clayton will be strong, and Simms will be more confident with more playing time under his belt. The new trio is here.


    Meanwhile, you're saying Westbrook is the answer, you're hoping (praying? worshipping to the sun god?) that you get Javon Walker as your new #1 (even though he's a good 2), and you'll have no one opposite him to draw coverage, and McNabb is yet another year older. Huh?

    Do I smell a sig line bet coming on?
  • 1420sports1420sports Posts: 3,473 ✭✭✭
    I'll bet more than a sigline ... fan of the losing team doesn't POST for a week.

    Caddy - will he be banged up and "boo-boo'd"
    Simms - whatever

    Walker a #2? how do you figure that?

    <<< just messing with you steve >>>

    No...You've got a point. I'm so sick & tired of this - year after stinkin' year after stinkin' year the losing. I mean 3 friggin' games into the season and already it's basically hopeless - I'm not kidding. Granted the 3 losses were against the Cardinals but realistically if understanding odds and trends, and I know you do, a longshot team like the Phillies really has to get off to a good start to have a chance to win a pennant. A team like the Braves or the Cardinals can start off a season slow and they have the talent to come back and possibly win. Phils better start winning and real quick, or it's gonna be an extremely long summer for them. Well...it sure unfortunately won't be my first long summer rooting for the Phillies image

    I have two favorite memories in recent times. The first was the 02 NFC Championship game when the Eagles scored in the first
    few minutes. The place was freaking going wild. The bucs had had trouble there and had only won one game in the cold and
    that was against a sorry sorry Bears team on the last day of the season.

    I can still remember Gruden's face..he had confidence...Brad Johnson went out and moved the ball and Martina kicked a beautiful
    field goal to bring it to 7-3. The bucs then proceeded to pluck the Eagles, feather by feather and throw McNad around like a rag
    doll. The camera panning around to all the Eagles fans....who had looked like they just lost their dogs. Such hope, such promise...how
    could this happen..they had home field, the had McNad, they had a defense.....NOT

    of course the second memory was the opening MNF game the next year. The bucs were screwed that whole season and it started
    by making them (the super bowl champs) go on the ROAD to play the first game of the season, I have never seen a defending
    champ have to start on the road the next season, none the less, the bucs started right where they left off..this time, it was total
    domination right from the beginning. Rocky was there, and so were like 80,000.....it was a new year and a new stadium, but there
    was one thing not new....the old bucs! McNad, has never rebounded from that game. That was his big game, and he was owned.


    The Eagles have NO chance to win at Tampa, they will be lucky to win one game in the division, not to mention winning at a playoff
    team's home stadium.

    At least the Phillies are good.................................LOL

    Yeah, he'll play like a bonafide Arena League vet next season! image

    He is the chink in the Sucs armor.

    Watch him go down boys. Then who?

    Josh McCown?

    Please. Get a real QB, then you can leave the porch.
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    And who's behind McNabb? We all saw how fantastic your team played with him, and just how abysmal they were without him.

    Leave the porch? I would think the Eagles, fresh off a 6-10 season, and having NEVER won a super bowl, has no smack talking right until they actually win the big game (which, due to their negative karma, will never happen).

    So, let me sum up for you:

    Bucs, 11-5 last year, division champs, super bowl win
    Eagles, 6-10 last year, division chumps (last year AND this year), NO SUPER BOWL WINS.

    So, Eagle fans, keep your sorry angry asses on the porch and watch a real team play.

    Garcia is behind McNabb now and better than any Hookerneer back up. A better O line is ready and here they go.

    Let's talk consistency. Say, 5-10 years. Where were the Sucs. Nowhere.

    Get a ring...hit the tank.

    Meanwhile the negative karma in Philly resulted in numerous playoff appearances, multiple NFC Champ Games, and a visit to the Super Bowl.

    I'll take it, along with the fans.

    Most Tampa fans moved there and gave up whatever allegiance they had to the Packers, Browns, Lions or other particular Midwest city they came from.

    Kind of like you JesterAxtell. Give up the home town. You couldn't hold a Philly fans jock, nor could any Sucs fan.

    Now, zipper up your creamsicle throwback gay pirate jacket and get ready for a cold winter.

    YOU want to talk consistency? Would you believe that since 1997, the Bucs have a BETTER record than your precious Eagles? Bucs in that span are 83-61, the Eagles are 79-64-1. WOW! Can you believe that!!! Talk about consistency! In that span, the Bucs have 2 losing seasons, the Eagles have 4. WOW!

    You're right, Bucs fans are INFINITELY better. Now that you've been schooled like the petulant child you are, get your cheesesteak eatin ass back on the porch you clown.

    You'll need more than that Brokeback.

    What did the Bucs do with the record? Win, then tank for several years.

    Enjoy the gay orange jacket. This winter you'll need a matching scarf to wipe your runny nose.

    Sorry, Tampa fans are not close to Philly fans and once again I'll mention that these are fans who gave up their home town allegiance. That seems to be a problem with you. What happened, did Daddy make you move every two years? Still bitter over that?

    Schooled? Not even close. I have been to Bucs games. Often the Bucs fans are shown up by the opposing teams truly rabid fans such as visitors from Wisconsin. Of course you wouldn't take the time to come to Tampa would you?

    No. Why - you are not a true fan.

    Oh, guess what. Bucs tickets were readily available last year. Once again their fans can't hold a candle to Philly fans. The Eagles closed the season ticket waiting list because it was too long. They just reopened it again.

    Why don't you take up something readily available to you there in Cali, like wine tasting. It fits. The sports tout thing is not for you.

    Several? 2 years in which they had no first or second round draft picks of 7-9 and 5-11, then rebounding to 11-5? Yeah, I can handle that. AT LEAST THEY WON THE BIG GAME. Something you Eagle nuts can't say.

    Actually always lived in relatively the same area...at least I know who my dad is.

    So, are you going to address the FACTS of the situation?

    You wanted to talk consistency...I PROVED that over the past 9 years, the Bucs:

    -have a better winning percentage than the Eagles
    -have a super bowl ring which the Eagles do not

    So, what do you have to say to that? How can you sit there and say the Eagles have been more consistent when they have fewer super bowl wins (NONE to TB's one) and twice as many losing seasons in that span (4 to TB's 2). What do you have to say? Can you address the FACTS of the situation instead of trying to insult? Is that possible, or are you the typical Philly fan, when faced with the FACTS you turn your nose and try (emphasis on 'try') to be a bully?

    get lost punk...you're too easy to crush.

    Now see, you had to break that barrier didn't you. Moving frequently as a younster and illegitimacy are far too different for you to go there. I suggest that you not approach that line again.

    I certainly know who my father is moron. He is a man who worked in service to his country for 40+ years and I have now followed in his footsteps as a federal employee. He lives with my mother in the Philly area, in the house where I grew up. I'll add that my federal service involves quick response and extended travel to assist those who suffer after natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Dad, well he just worked for the Defense Department. Stick that in your pipe.

    What happened to the sensitive Cali persona who just recently asked another board member about being a "hater?"

    Can't take it can you?

    Go down to Penny's and pick out a nice skirt to go with the jacket.
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    Well I see you can't stick to the facts.

    I guess it must SUCK to call out the Bucs for not being 'consistent', then to have your own team's flawed recent history brought to light must just burn your ass.

    What, do you pull a Stuart Smalley when you think of the Eagles? 'That you're good enough, and smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me?'

    You aren't just sad, you're PATHETIC.

  • SoFLPhillyFanSoFLPhillyFan Posts: 3,931 ✭✭

    Axtell, I believe if we took a poll we would find that most people think you are the pathetic one.

    We punk you because it is entertaining. You are baited by board members on a regular basis just to see how quickly you will use words like "sparky," "idiot," etc.

    Debating a team's merits and razzing their fans is all in good fun. Resorting to name calling and insulting a person's heritage, well you seem to stoop that low on a regular basis.

    Add to that your continuous and obvious hate for anything New York or Northeast US for that matter, and you find yourself surrounded by those who will always fight back.

    BTW - remember last year when we traded some 05 Heritage? At the time you were delving into the 85 Topps Football set. I had bought a pack or two of the 85s and sent you a few to help out. You never did acknowledge that gracious gesture.

    But then again that is probably just you isn't it.

    Please show me where I've ever insulted someone's heritage - please.

    And you are as baited by my posts as I am by you, that's supposed to be the spirit of a good debate. I find it humorous that it was you, soflphilly, who started with the 'couldn't hold a eagle's fan jock' and 'gay' remarks...or did you forget?

    But when I bring out facts (like the Bucs' higher winning percentage over the last 9 years, Eagles 4 losing seasons to the Bucs' two), that suddenly YOU get your feelings hurt and cry?

    Sorry that YOU can dish it out, but YOU can't take it.

  • Resorting to name calling and insulting a person's heritage, well you seem to stoop that low on a regular basis.


    << true ... the latter seems to be the m.o. for axtell and a few cowboy fans >>

    Looks like some Eagle fans revert to name calling as well huh image

    lets hear it for the morons ...

    Eagles will have a pass rush this season, and that will flow back to the secondary. Like it did the previous season. Dallas has no running game, a poor offensive line, and major holes on defense.

    The Eagles have a nice position in the draft, and will add several more players. Maybe Javon Walker even ...

    Axtell is 100% accurate this time - TO has ZERO weaknesses (besides ego and attitude) and he will perform. He is the BEST receiver in football (by a good margin) and TO will score on the Eagles, I am already counting on that. I think that is all that TO will care about. If the Eagles beat em, then who cares. I know he won't care.

    BTW, you cowboy fans are basing your team's success on TO. Philly and San Fran did as well. I don't think that he will "act out" like he has this season, but with TO one never knows. Parcells was against his signing (although the CU cowboys fans won't admit it) and it could very well blow up in Jerry Jones face(lift)
  • Some eagles fans are having a hard time accepting that their team went 0-6 in the division. They are living in the past. Most NFL teams have a run of 4 to 6 seasons before it is time to start over. The NFC East is an improved division no longer for the Eagles taking. The Eagles are a middle of the pack team instead of the front runners. That would go to the GIants who won the East last year.

    The only resumes you see with

    -Super Bowl Appearance

    and

    -Division titles

    in it, are those that didn't have the muscle to win the super bowl. The Eagles are averaging a super bowl appearance every 25 years...considering
    that there are only 32 teams in the league, that ratio sucks, as do the Ealges. At least our back up QB isn't a fairy!

    ...and we are about to get the best O linemen in the country come draft time.......Simms won't be making the dumb mistakes this year with
    a solid O line in front of him. Heck if Caddy played in Denver or KC this past year the guy might of rushed for 3000 yards!! A few more blockers
    could make this guy go wild!

    I find the hyporisy of this entire thread to be quite humorous.

    You bring up Bucs consistency, to which I reply with facts showing the Bucs have a higher winning percentage over the past decade, you dissolve into a bubbling pile of jello, foaming at the mouth, completely pissy that the 'lowly' Bucs would have a higher winning percentage, fewer 10 loss seasons, and more super bowl wins than your beloved Eagles.

    You bring up dads, to which I reply, then suddenly I am insulting someone's 'heritage'.

    Look, you got taken out behind the shed, beaten down with a reed...you only have yourself to blame for bring up points to which you would get owned on.

    Check your book again.

    Keep the SB win. I'll take this record any day. The Eagles have not only been more consistent than the Bucs over the last 10 years, they have been able to stay in the playoffs until the title game more often.

    Own that.

    1995-2005

    Eagles - 7 years in playoffs
    4 Division titles
    5 NFC Champ Games

    Bucs - - 6 years in playoffs
    3 Division titles
    1 (?) NFC Champ Game, maybe 2. Haven't the Bucs played in only 2 NFC Champ games in their entire history?

    Look, spin it however you want.

    From 1997-2005, the Bucs have a higher winning percentage the Eagles, a super bowl win compared to none for the eagles, and half as many 10+ loss seasons.

    I am sure ALL fans would rather have more NFC championship game appearances over a super bowl win....SURE they do.
  • SoFLPhillyFanSoFLPhillyFan Posts: 3,931 ✭✭

    You are the spinmeister and have not been more incorrect since you tried to tell us all how to play baseball.

    The Eagles have been to the playoffs more often than the Bucs, and used that chance to consistently reach deeper into the playoff rounds.

    Why do you think Dungy is not there anymore? They did not reach the playoffs enough and when they did it was choke time.

    Read 'em and weep.

    One SB win does not make a decade.

    << <i>You are the spinmeister and have not been more incorrect since you tried to tell us all how to play baseball. >>



    Please answer something for me...which team has the higher winning percentage over the last decade?



    << <i>The Eagles have been to the playoffs more often than the Bucs, and used that chance to consistently reach deeper into the playoff rounds.
    >>



    So you're happy with playoff appearances, but no super bowl win. Ok got it.



    << <i>Why do you think Dungy is not there anymore? They did not reach the playoffs enough and when they did it was choke time.
    >>



    And how's Dungy been in Indy? How many super bowls has he won? Wouldn't his ability to win the big game in Tampa (which Gruden was able to do) nor him being able to in Indy (despite having the best team and record last year) tell you something?



    << <i>Read 'em and weep. >>



    I am sure you are used to crying, year after year of CHOKING and no super bowl wins EVER?

    Isn't the ULTIMATE determination of a team's success the ability to win the title?
  • SoFLPhillyFanSoFLPhillyFan Posts: 3,931 ✭✭

    Isn't Dungy's record in Indy better than Gruden's in Tampa? Again consistently better over the same period.

    Think you lost it even worse there.

    Add that Gruden played with Dungy's team and Tony comes out even better.

    I'll take the consistent wins and the occassional visit to the SB.

    Would you rather have a team that tanks nine years out of ten, missing the playoffs each year, then winning a title? That's fine but nine years out of ten you'll sit during the post season.

    Sorry, forgot. You are already a Mariners fan.

  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭


    << <i>Isn't Dungy's record in Indy better than Gruden's in Tampa? Again consistently better over the same period.
    >>



    Of course he has...he's had a better team. Peyton, Edge, Harrison...3 sure fire hall of famers? Of COURSE he's going to have a better record ya dope!



    << <i>Think you lost it even worse there.

    Add that Gruden played with Dungy's team and Tony comes out even better.
    >>



    Hmm if that's the case, why didn't Dungy win the title? If the team truly was the same, and Dungy is the better coach, why didn't Dungy win a super bowl?



    << <i>I'll take the consistent wins and the occassional visit to the SB.
    >>



    So by occasional you mean once every 25 years? Uhm ok, if that floats your boat, sure.



    << <i>Would you rather have a team that tanks nine years out of ten, missing the playoffs each year, then winning a title? That's fine but nine years out of ten you'll sit during the post season. >>



    But the Bucs haven't missed 9 out of 10 postseasons. There you go spinning again. When you plan on speaking in truths instead of falsehoods, perhaps we can have a meaningful discussion. I've proved the Bucs have had the better winning percentage over the past decade, yet you continue to say 'postseason appearances!' as if you are happy the Eagles haven't won it all, instead preferring to be happy 'just being there'.
