anybody still doubting the eagles??

jbugs · December 1, 2002 10:02AM

HA, 9-3, 2nd place in the NFL!

oasurfer7 · December 1, 2002 10:14AM

e-a-g-l-e-s EAGLES!!!!!!!

ahares · December 1, 2002 10:15AM

actually 10-3, gotta love the effort of the D...unbelievable Warner sacked 8 times..picked 2 times..one for a TD...Feeley did't play to bad, yeah he didnt get any TD's but he didn't make any mistakes and thats the key. Bring on the Seahawks

joestalin · December 1, 2002 10:16AM

The only thing Im doubting is why Kurt Warner is starting now. Is Bulger hurt?? You
feel great about only scoring 10 points agains the Rams soft D??

None the less, two impressive wins with McNabb on the bench! Congrats

Kevin

jbugs · December 1, 2002 10:30AM

it is only the rams, but its also only aj feely. if detmer was in it woulda been 24-3, and if mcnabb was in it would been 42-3

Remster · December 1, 2002 11:10AM

bulger has a hand injury and was listed as the # 3 QB for the game...Warner looks like he doesn't have the zip of old...must be the hand bothering him...couldn't believe some of the shots the Eagles gave him...Their defense was awesome

jbugs · December 1, 2002 11:37AM

ttt

biggjc · December 1, 2002 11:41AM

I'm not for sure .........

I think they are playing better as a team now .Looks like everyone is stepping up their game since McNabb went out and that could be a scary thing .......

dodgerguy99 · December 1, 2002 11:43AM

I doubt the Eagles.Their D is great, but A.J. Feely-I don't think so.You think they are for real without a proven QB? You must be smokin.

jbugs · December 1, 2002 11:50AM

mcnabb will be back for the beginning of the playoffs, detmer might be back next week. so we are good for the rest of the season, and once nabbs is back, we'll take out whoever we play after our bye

zimmy3 · December 1, 2002 12:00PM

Wow, you were able to shut down Kurt Warner, like every single team has done this year. You must be so proud. But I guess if so are so proud of the Eagles and that they are so great, you would have to then agree that McNabb is not the MVP since they are sooooooooooo good without him right?

dodgerguy99 · December 1, 2002 12:03PM

Warner is not the old Warner.Bulger would have dropped 30 on em.Martz F'ed up.(AGAIN!)

KingCobra · December 1, 2002 12:03PM

Let me know when the Eagles win a big game (if they ever do) and I'll stop doubting.

jbugs · December 1, 2002 12:06PM

zimmy- u r a moron. mcnabb is the better qb. but it shows the rest of the team can step up around them and still win. mcnabb doesnt have a chance at mvp this yr anyway because he's injured. vick will probably win it now.

dodger-bulger wouldnt of put up 30 pts against the philly d today, no way!

king- last week against the 9ers, hell any game this season. they are #2 in the NFL! and if u want to go to previous years, look at last year. they made it to the finals. they win plenty of big games

JoeBenson · December 1, 2002 12:25PM

i don't dislike the Eagles...But in my opinion I don't think McNabb is as good as you think....42-3 with McNabb in there? I definately don't think so...McNabb is better than Feeley yes, but to say that much better is ludacris....McNabb=Overrated, I love the Eagles D, but McNabb does = OVERRATED...I mean they are 8-3 with McNabb...2-0 without him and they beat Rams and 49ers!!! I mean *DAMN* why you think McNabb is so good? I know Peyton Manning, Michael Vick, Jay Fiedler, Drew Bledsoe, Chad Pennington, Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Rich Gannon, and Jeff Garcia are basically all better than McNabb...and Tim Couch, Kurt Warner, Marc Bulger, David Carr (with a better team), Brian Greise, Jake Plummer (at times), and Mark Brunell and others probably that are at least as good as him, McNabb is nothing special...believe me....But the Eagles D IS one of the best out there!!! And you know what, D is what it takes late in the season, look at the Ravens, there Offense SUCKED, the won the Super Bowl, Patriots D got good last season...OR you need a great offense, which they are lacking....I also believe that Tampa Bay will lose in the playoffs, i mean to me it's pretty obvious that there usually a good team, and late in the season they don't perform when it's cold....So I am instantly throwing them out, Favre looks like he is on a down note, (honestly, he's not his HOF self anymore), Colts don't have the D, or a weapon other than Marvin Harrison, Patriots have a good Offense, but usually exchange touchdowns with teams which won't be good later on...So I'm definately on the lookout for the Eagles to be BIG this year!!! Another team that would be good in a warm climate is the Falcons, but they won't do anything against a good team in the cold....So my upset Super Bowl matchup is Jets vs. Eagles!!! Jets look like a team to reckon with since they got Vinny's sorry a$$ out of there, for years I have hated him!! I personally think he SUCKS, Pennington don't put up great stats put is pretty good, don't turn the ball over, and can run the ball so/so, plus there D isn't bad....So when these teams are in the Super Bowl, remember who called it

Last 2 years I picked the teams that would be in the Super Bowl, and hope to make it 3, unless my Bills can improve and come together between now and then! But I doubt that'll happen, so there you have it

jbugs · December 1, 2002 12:38PM

mcnabb overrated?? i dont see how u people think this. he had better stats(more yds, tds, fewer ints) than brett farve, manning, vick(ad more ints, vick only had 2, but better in all other stats). how can you say he's overrated when he beats all ur qbs in stats?

KingCobra · December 1, 2002 12:52PM

king- last week against the 9ers, hell any game this season. they are #2 in the NFL! and if u want to go to previous years, look at last year. they made it to the finals. they win plenty of big games

REGULAR SEASON GAMES. Like I said, when the Eagles win a big game, let me know.

jbugs · December 1, 2002 1:05PM

there hasnt been post season yet this yr moron, and they will most likely get a bye. last yr they made it to the finals(playoffs!!) yr before(playoffs) year before(playoffs) yr before (playoffs) each yr past round 1!

JoeBenson · December 1, 2002 1:11PM

being an Eagles fan you will be on his nuts, thats just how the world turns, I like Bills but won't say Bledsoe is better than Manning....And Vick runs for like as many as he passes, and is very efficient...Colts D blows and they dont have much offensively but there record is as good as the "Beagles"...Face it, put anyone of those QB's on the Eagles and there record will be the same or better! What makes mcnabb so good then? Please tell me! Eagles look just as good as they always do with those bums Detmer and Feeley! So I don't really think McNabb means that much to his team, and he!!, he played the 2nd half injured against the Cardinals D, Cardinals D SUCKS!!! Uhm, they gave up 49 today right? Yeah, that's right they did! 8-3 with wins against Cardinals (sucks), Redskins (sucks), Cowboys (sucks), Giants (sucks), Tampa -AT HOME, SO IN THE COLD-, and Bears (sucks)...They beat one good team with McNabb in and was in the cold, which Tampa sucks in!! And look at the games in which McNabb puts up nice numbers, against all crap teams---Washington, Dallas, Houston, and Arizona!! NOTE---EAGLES ARE 0-3 VERSUS THE AFC.....the NFC isnt that good this year! Eagles have the EASIEST schedule in the NFL, there remaining games are: seattle (sucks), washington (sucks), dallas (sucks), and giants (sucks)...2 of the best 3 teams they played was WITHOUT McNabb and they won both, it's very simple to see that McNabb isnt that good!! Example of McNabb putting up his good numbers against bad teams, when they played Bucs he passed for 127 on 27 attempts (pretty bad if you ask me) and ran 6 times for 4 yards!! I an done with this post though, I typed about a thousand words trying to explain about McNabb being overrated, which he is, peace out though!

KingCobra · December 1, 2002 1:27PM

That isn't correct.

UofAWildcatFan · December 1, 2002 5:12PM

Most people still doubt the Eagles.

Doubt they will get far in the playoffs.

KingCobra · December 2, 2002 2:30AM

Agreed.

AlanB · December 2, 2002 4:49AM

With the Eagles winning without McNabb, it doesn't show that he's not as good as peole think, it shows that the rest of the team is better than people think. They have one of the best defenses in the league, you can't deny that. Their offense is making plays and their QB's are playing mistake-free football. They don't have to be the RB/QB that McNabb was, they just have to get the ball into the hands of the receivers which they are doing, not that the receivers are always catching the balls but Todd Pinkston has really stepped up his game this season. If Staley keeps running the way he has been and the QB's are turning over the ball, I don't see why they can't go deep into the playoffs. They've already beaten two of the best teams in the NFL in the 49ers and the Bucs. As for them not winning big games, how long have you been watching football? If anyone hasn't been winning the big games, it the Bucs who have exited the playoffs in the 1st round the last two years, losing to the Eagles. Did you even watch the NFC Chamionship game last year? The Eagles lost by like 5 points to the Rams while the Packers were anihilated by them.

KingCobra · December 2, 2002 6:57AM

As for them not winning big games, how long have you been watching football?

I've been watching football for about 15 years, and I haven't seen the eagles in a Super Bowl.

AlanB · December 2, 2002 8:08AM

If not making it to the Super Bowl means you can't win big games, then there aren't many teams that can. I guess the Rams can't because the lost last year and the Bucs aren't any good because they can't get past the 1st round. I guess the Broncos aren't for real because they've been having trouble lately making the playoffs. Scratch Pittsburgh off the list because the Pats beat them last year. Do you see what I'm getting at? Hopefully you do because just because a team doesn't make the playoffs and go to the Super Bowl every year doesn't mean they can't win big games.

zimmy3 · December 2, 2002 8:18AM

Uh, YES THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS! If you can't make it to the SB when you are in the playoffs most of the time you are CHOKING in the big games. The Rams, Packers, Broncos, Falcons, Titans, Patriots, etc all played great when it mattered most. Heck some of those teams are rarely in the playoffs and they were able to win the big games. The Eagles and the Bucs who are almost always in the playoffs year in and year out couldnt even make it ONCE, thats what I call CHOKING.

KingCobra · December 2, 2002 8:23AM

Thank you zimmy, for saving me the trouble on that one

Well put.

jbugs · December 2, 2002 8:23AM

choking? so the packers have choked how many times?

KingCobra · December 2, 2002 8:28AM

Plenty of times. The difference is they didn't choke every single time like Philly.

zimmy3 · December 2, 2002 8:30AM

Packers in how many SBs last 6 years? 2
Broncos in how many SBs last 6 years? 2
Rams in howw many SBs last 6 years? 2
Eagles in how many SBs last 6 years? 0

Enough said

KingCobra · December 2, 2002 8:33AM

Even one-trick ponies like the Giants, Ravens, Titans and Falcons have made it, but somehow your mighty Eagles cannot.

AlanB · December 3, 2002 4:21AM

Losing in the playoffs doesn't mean you choke, it means you get outplayed by a better team. If you want to see choking, look at Chris Simms. You can lose a game like teh Eagles did last year in the playoffs even though you played a heck of a game. Choking is Brett Favre throwing like 6 INTs against the Rams last season, not the Eagles losing by 5 points. You can play your heart out and still lose but that doesn't mean you choked, it means the other team was just plain better.

zimmy3 · December 3, 2002 5:22AM

LOL, how is Favre throwing 6 INTs in a playoff game considered choking? The Packers were never picked to beat the Rams anyways, and not to mention those last 3 came near the end of the game where Favre, being as stubborn as he is, would not just give into the fact that they lost and he tried to throw long passes every single play just to try and get some points. Its called heart, most other teams would have given up at that point. Having a bad game in the playoffs doesn't make one player a choker. You are just trying to hide the facts that the Eagles choke EVERY YEAR. Even one trick ponies who werent considered to go anywhere in the playoffs were able to make it, like the Falcons. Face it, until the Bucs and the Eagles make it once they will always be considered chokers, always able to make the playoffs but never able to make that final leap.

bradley25 · December 3, 2002 5:33AM

I genuinely like the Packers, but throwing 6 INTs IS choking...

KingCobra · December 3, 2002 5:56AM

Brett Favre and the Packers have been to two Super Bowls. The Eagles have been to none, and won't be going this year.

jbugs · December 3, 2002 7:05AM

eagles have only missed the playoff 4-5 times since 1990. obviously they are a consistant team, and can get it done! almost every year they made it past the first round as well. as for packers being in the bowl 2 times in the last 6 yrs. ya, 6 years ago! thats past, that has not got a damn thing to do with this year. and considering the eagles are tied for 1st in the nfc, and packers are 3rd, so who's the better team this year? as for afc being a stronger conference?? not MANY teams are better than 7-5 in the afc. if you want a team that chokes try tampa. they've had a lotta great seasons lately but get knocked out 1st round each year by the eagles.

anybody still doubting the eagles??
