2004 Eagles Thread

[SPEWEY]

I don't think it's too early to start this up.

What an offseason....

No more Staley, Vincent, and Taylor. Enter in Owens and Kearse as free agents and the drafting of Andrews. Trotter now comes back. I can't remember a more exciting offseason.

Will this be the year that we get over the NFC Championship Game hump? I'm so pumped up and it's not even training camp yet.

Here's a pretty cool Eagles wallpaper: http://lightning.liquidweb.com/~mistasta/wallpaper/eagleswp2.jpg

[slap happy]

13 Days till training camp starts, ill be there. THIS IS OUR YEAR!!!!!!!!


ARE YOU READY!?

[MAVRIC305]

Owens and Kearse... Damn... As a Giants fan I must admit those are two awesome acquisitions.

[Ballbuster1]

Damn, beat me to it. I was gonna start a new Birds thread.:biggrinea
Things are looking up. T/O, Kearse, and now Trotter.......
Looking foreward to the season!

[Sinn Fein]

I'm glad Trotter is back. He seems to have the right attitude this time around.

[SPEWEY]

It will be interesting to see what Trotter brings in training camp. He claims that his knee is 100%, others seem to think that he has lost a step. If he is close to the player that he was a few years ago, all of the sudden we have depth at what was probably our weakest position. Training camp will be very, very interesting.

[SPEWEY]

I'm glad Trotter is back. He seems to have the right attitude this time around.I feel the same way. Did you see his press conference tonight? He said that he made a mistake by leaving.

Signing him at the vet minimum makes this a great move by the Eagles. He only will have upside salary-wise. He counts more against the Skins cap than the Eagles. :haha7:

[slap happy]

I just cant wait to see McNabb have an actual receiver to throw to. Owens is going to open the offense wide open. Pinky and Fredy Hollywood are gonna look like top flight receivers now because everyone will be all over TO. I thought i was pumped last year but ive already fired off about a half dozen EAGLES chants already. At least Philly has one team that really wants to win and trys to put pieces in play to better themselves year after year.

[SPEWEY]

So true Slap. Imagine if LJ blossoms into the kind of tight end that he appears to be and Andrews is the real deal?

We will have great run blocking for the explosiveness of Westbrook, to go along with Buckhalter who will probably be at his peak now.

2 backs who can catch out of the backfield and take it the distance.

A wideout that will take it to the house if you leave him with single coverage in TO. A blossoming star in Mitchell.

Oh yeah...and we have that QB who has gotten better year after year besides his injury plagued season last year.

This offense could be sick! :biggrinfl

[Sinn Fein]

I saw the press conference tonight, and an interview afterwards. That is why I think he has the right attitude now.

[Ballbuster1]

I'm pumped. This year is looking great ! I even got tickets to a game
at the Linc for Father's Day. It's pre-season against the Ravens, but
I can't wait to finally get into the stadium.:biggrinfl

[Sinn Fein]

Father's Day? Wasn't that in June?

[Ballbuster1]

Sorry, my bad.........it was a father's day gift.

[Sinn Fein]

Gotcha. I checked out the schedule.. Aug 20.

[SPEWEY]

That's a good preseason game. TO vs Ray-Ray and the team that he dissed.

[slap happy]

an even better game will be the game on Halloween. The freaks will be out in force that night. I hope to be one of them.

[Ballbuster1]

Can't wait to be there !:icon_mrgr Go Birds !!!!!!

[SPEWEY]

an even better game will be the game on Halloween. The freaks will be out in force that night. I hope to be one of them.Hopefully the biggest freak out in full force will be the Freak! :icon_razz

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I can't wait til camp baby...:gh:


Buster have fun the linc's not bad, not great but not bad...
I liked the vet a little better...

[slap happy]

Going up to camp this coming Monday, cant wait. they say the crowds are out of control this year, almost like a game type atmosphere.


GO BIRDS!

[SPEWEY]

I heard they are getting like 6000 fans/day. That's incredible for training camp. I wish that I could go.

I want to go to training camp and I want to go to the Hard Rock but this job won't allow either. :cry3:

[Ballbuster1]

The news shows fans going nuts every time T.O. even touches the ball.

Think Philly fans are hyped, yet? It will get even better.:xyxthumbs

[slap happy]

An estimated 10,000 fans attended yeterdays practice, unreal! I cant wait till monday. I might be scoring some VIP passes, which will be nice considering the size of the crowds.

Here's a good article from one of the best NFL men out there.

Reid's Eagles "keep pushing" ahead
By Pat Kirwan
NFL.com Senior Analyst

NFL.com senior analyst Pat Kirwan has begun his annual tour of training camps and will file columns from each stop. This installment comes from Lehigh University, where the Philadelphia Eagles train for the 2004 campaign.

LEHIGH, Pa. (Aug. 5, 2004) -- Let me first set the scene for you at Eagles camp. It is an already hot and humid morning. Lehigh University is a good hour ride or more for many diehard Eagles fans, and the parking lot resembles a game day. There are close to 10,000 fans, all in Eagles clothing, all geared up for a morning practice. The whole scene reminded me of the expectations for the Philadelphia franchise this year: Super Bowl or nothing.

With every pass thrown to Terrell Owens, the crowd would roar, and T.O. loved it. After practice when most of his new teammates were already showered and on their way to lunch, Owens was still out signing autographs and having his picture taken with fans. I know he's excited because during the practice, I watched the Eagles call six straight pass plays in a team period, and on all six he sprinted down field and cleared out the secondary to open up an underneath route for another receiver. In the old days, that might have infuriated him, but not at this practice. Later in the morning, he hooked up with Donovan McNabb a number of times against the inexperienced Eagles corners and it looked like a deadly combination.

As for the rest of the Eagles offense, there was lots to be impressed with, and an area or two for concern. Let's start up front with the offensive line. The Eagles have two 6-foot-7 tackles in Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan, which gives them the bookends most teams dream about. Inside, Hank Fraley is the blue-collar center who is a favorite of head coach Andy Reid. Jermane Mayberry, who can also play some tackle, has one guard spot, and rookie first-round pick Shawn Andrews, at 6-4 and 320 pounds, has the other spot. Every coach I spoke with before practice had something good to say about Andrews, so I spent a lot of time watching him work. He is a very good athlete who will make the offensive line one of the best in the NFL this year but he needs more work. In his one-on-one pass blocking, he worked against DT Corey Simon, and on the first rush Andrews got his hands on him, squared him up, dropped his weight and the rush was over on the spot. Andrews looked like an All Pro. On the next rush, Simon gave him a quick head fake and a change-of-direction rush, and Andrews missed him completely and ended up blocking air as Simon was in the backfield. What impressed me most as it happened was how Andrews handled the situation. No hanging his head, no immature outburst, just eyes on his coach listening to what he did wrong and going to the sideline to work on the instructions. He will be a great one sooner rather than later http://www.nfl-fans.com/html/emoticons/buttrock.gif .

The Eagles receivers have always been thought of as an average to below-average group, and that has changed with the addition of Owens. I must report that T.O. isn't the only area of improvement; Freddie Mitchell finished strong last season and Todd Pinkston looked very good in practice. I suspect both will have over 40 receptions as the No. 2 and No. 3 receivers, respectively. The other receiving dimension that is ready to explode is tight end L.J. Smith. He is a vertical threat at 250 pounds, and with the new emphasis on pass interference, he could become a very dangerous threat -- especially in the red zone.

The running backs concern me as I watched the short-yardage/goal-line live drill. Correll Buckhalter didn't participate on this day and the offensive coaches were quick to point out he will be in there come game time. But there really isn't another inside pounder who can get the tough yards and move the chains. The defense dominated the Eagles' short-yardage run game and it's not the best place to feature the talents of Brian Westbrook. As I stood there, I couldn't help but think how much a guy like the Raiders' Zack Crockett would fit nicely. Crockett only rushed for 145 yards last year but he scored seven times in the goal-line run package. The Eagles have the cap space to pick up a guy like that late in August after the last cuts if one should appear.

The Eagles offense in the open field or in the two-minute situation is ready to go with what appears to be some extended use of the shotgun formation. Based on what I saw in practice, they will give real problems for every opponent. Let's not forget about the 240-pound McNabb, who is a tremendous running threat and already has 2,237 yards and 17 touchdowns in his five-year career. The Eagles would prefer to keep him in the pocket but they have very capable backup quarterbacks in Jeff Blake and Koy Detmer, and more importantly, McNabb is not going to leave anything on the table this year to win a Super Bowl. As good as the Eagles defense is, when Donovan took off in practice, he gained yardage in big chunks.

As for the defense, coordinator Jim Johnson is already in midseason form. During one team period, every linebacker, nickelback and safety blitzed at least once. He has the athletes up front to look like they're rushing and then drop into coverage while the others blitz in his "fire-zone scheme." Jevon Kearse was very impressive all practice, chasing run plays down from behind when the offense tried to run away from him. He also held up well when Runyan blocked him and the run game came right at him. Defensive tackle Darwin Walker sat out practice but Hollis Thomas clogged up the middle and Simon was very disruptive in the live team periods. A key player on the Eagles defense will be N.D. Kalu, who is listed as a defensive end but can line up as a linebacker and quickly turn the Eagles package into a 3-4 front, especially in nickel and dime packages. Philly has five linebackers who can start in the NFL with Mark Simoneau, Jeremiah Trotter, Nate Wayne, Dhani Jones and Ike Reese all practicing well. I was very impressed with how quickly Simoneau can key and diagnose plays. Coach Johnson can't play them all but I'm sure the special teams coach, John Harbaugh, is happy to have that many quality players to work with this year.

Everyone at practice wanted to point to the cornerbacks as the weakness of the team. Philadelphia isn't playing a lot of press man coverage, which Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent excelled at in earlier years when they were healthy. Sure, Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown have just 12 career starts between them and it's easy to point at them as a liability. The safeties, Michael Lewis and Brian Dawkins, are excellent; the Eagles will get pressure on the quarterback and the scheme will help them. As I reminded one observer on the sideline at practice, the Panthers almost won the Super Bowl with Ricky Manning and Reggie Howard on the field at cornerback. What struck me at practice was how much quality work the young Eagles corners were getting going up against Owens.

It's common knowledge that the Eagles have one goal this season, and that's getting to Jacksonville to play in the Super Bowl. It's a realistic one. Everyone also knows they have upwards of six or seven Pro Bowl players on their roster. But what I walked away from practice with was the core of backup utility players that make the depth on this roster exceptional. In addition, they have no real contract situations for 2005 and they already have 11 picks in next spring's draft. As long as they've been humming into the playoffs, this team could stay at the top for a while longer yet.

I said to Reid after practice that I was very impressed with his team and how hard they worked for two-and-a-half hours and he just stared at me and said, "We just have to keep pushing." If they do what he tells them, they will make it to Jacksonville in February.

[slap happy]

25,000 people showed up for camp today. today was kids day so that explains the huge crowds. i was lisenting to 610 this morning and Steve and Anthony had to turn around and go back to philly to do thier show the traffic was so bad.


http://www.lincolnfinancialfield.com/uploads/photos/perm/main/HPGKIDLBBOFN/080604-crowd.jpg

[Ballbuster1]

25,000.................NICE !:clap:

[AngryHugo]

there was also some Musicfest thing going on in Bethlehem, so the traffic was doubly worse. that's still a sick fucking crowd for watching guys practice....

[SPEWEY]

I was laughing this morning when I read the Giants-Jets scrimmage sold 2000 tickets after reading that the Eagles practice had 25,000 people.

[Ballbuster1]

Bird's fans are pumped up this year, big time !:icon_mrgr

[slap happy]

I though i was pumped last year but i KNOW this is our year

[Hoagie]

LOL. Every year you guys set yourselves up like this. It's getting kinda sad.

[Ballbuster1]

LOL. Every year you guys set yourselves up like this. It's getting kinda sad.No dissing the Birds in here. Make your own thread.

[slap happy]

Hoagie i have grown to love ya but FUCK OFF, the Birds are going all the way this year, the Steelers aint shit

[Ballbuster1]

Well , that was kinda uninspiring. I know it's just the 1st
preseason game , but no points by the 1st string?
Come on guys, you can do better than that.

[slap happy]

i didnt watch, but it is pre season. the Eagles have yet to show themselves. If Andy is smart he will show nothing till the season starts, i have a feeling this is going to be a totally revamped WC offense.

[SPEWEY]

The Eagles preseason has always been shitty under Reid. He plays things so vanilla, as if it were the NFC Championship Game. :icon_eek:

McNabb and TO seemed to be on the same page, that's the biggest thing that I got out of tonight.

[slap happy]

true dat. Big Red gives nothing away, which is smart. I was at training camp and the team looks way more relaxed then in previous years. And TO and Donny Mac (roomies by the way) looked like they have been playing on the same team for years. Do not fret the pre season, it means very little.

[SPEWEY]

Yeah, I know, but I still wanted to see some points, dammit!:icon_conf So did I....so did I. :icon_sad:

[ih8Uboo-boo]

As did I, but remember the main thing about the pre-season games is to come out without any significant injuries to their key players...

Most of the injuries were to their backups...

[slap happy]

If anyone is watching the Eagles game tonight: WoW what a pass from Donny Mac to TO. I hope its like that all year.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

Made me Hard...

[Hoagie]

Buckhalter is out for the year with a torn patella tendon. At least that's what has been reported. It could be wrong.

[Ballbuster1]

Just got back from the Linc. Nice place. That pass to TO
to open the drive was so perfect. The place went nuts. We
bailed after the 1st half and the starters were taken out.
Just glad to see the new place and see TO get his 1st TD
in the Linc.:icon_mrgr

[SPEWEY]

The TD to TO was totally ruined by finding out later on that Buck is out for the year. Mahe and McCoo better step up. An extreme positive wiped out by an extreme negative. It's not easy being an Eagles fan.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I heard a rumor that they are going to try and make a deal for Travis Henry... They started working on a deal as soon as they found out that Buck was done...

[SPEWEY]

I heard a rumor that they are going to try and make a deal for Travis Henry... They started working on a deal as soon as they found out that Buck was done...That would kick ass if it happened. I'm not going to get excited about it until it happens though.

Where did you hear that rumor? I've searched all over and I haven't found anything on it. I saw a couple of articles stating that the Bills aren't moving either back.

an insider that I know said that they were making the call with Buckhalter on the table...

I agree with you that I am not going to go nuts about it until it actually happens, but I KNOW that they made a call...

take it for what its worth

[SPEWEY]

Well we signed Levens again. If he's in good shape I think it's a good move. I don't think the Giants gave him enough of a chance last year. He did well against the Eagles.

The link for this went down but here's the story:

Dorsey Levens signs with Eagles
By Bob Brookover
Inquirer Staff Writer


The Eagles have reached into their past to fill their need for another running back.

Hadley Engelhard, the agent for Dorsey Levens, said this afternoon that his client had agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles and was scheduled to board a flight tonight and be at practice with the team tomorrow at the NovaCare Complex.

"We had been talking to the Eagles even before this," Engelhard said. "Dorsey has obviously played there before and he's very excited to be coming back."

Ththe Eagles plan to make the official announcement tomorrow after Levens passes a physical.

Engelhard said he heard from the Eagles "soon after" Correll Buckhalter went down Friday night with a season-ending knee injury against the Baltimore Ravens.

Though the Eagles did not announce the acquisition of Levens, coach Andy Reid did say this afternoon that the team planned to bring in another back to fill the void left by Buckhalter's injury.

It is not clear where Levens will land on the depth chart, but he will likely be in a rotation with Brian Westbrook and Reno Mahe.

Levens, 34, played the 2002 season with the Eagles after spending his first eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers. In his only season with the Eagles, Levens rushed for 411 yards and a touchdown on 75 carries and caught 19 passes for 124 yards and one touchdown.

He dressed for 11 games last season with the Giants and saw little playing time, carrying 68 times for 197 yards and catching five passes for 39 yards. His most productive game was against the Eagles when he ran 16 times for 64 yards.

Earlier this month, Levens had talked with the Miami Dolphins after running back Ricky Williams announced his sudden retirement.

[Ballbuster1]

Caught the announcement on the 6 o'clock news.
I think it's a good move. IMO.
He was under used by the Giants. Welcome back, Dorsey.:icon_wink

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I can't say that I hate the move, I mean Its a body which is what they need right now. I would not be surprised if they make another move for a RB.

[SPEWEY]

It's going to be strange going up against Duuuuuuuce tonight. I really wish he was still with the Birds. Especially with Buck being out.

I wish Reid was only going to play the starters for the first half. I don't know why he wants to bring them in during the 3rd qtr.

[slap happy]

it was a good game. nice to see Duce again, ill always have much love for 22. i think our back up running backs made a good showing. now everyone needs to heal up for the real stuff.


by the way did anyone hear anything on Nate Wayne?

[SPEWEY]

It was hard to gauge the team from last night with so many starters not playing and a typical Reid preseason vanilla game plan.

I think it's obvious though that TO is going to have a monster year. I'm really excited that we have such a legitimate deep threat.

None of the RB's really impressed me. Mahe goes down too easy and Tapeh doesn't seem to hit the hole fast enough. We'll see though.

[jpc165]

Why didn't westbrook play? I saw him and Levens on the bench with their pads on.

[jewdown]

I couldn't agree more. I 'll miss the duce greatly. and I think the team will too.

Take a look here (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=knight-eaglesnoteswayneisquickto&prov=knight&type=lgns)

I dont remember loosing so many guys in one preseason before.
We should forfit the last game vs the Jets. We cant risk loosing anymore guys.

He is too damn predictable. & there is no one to keep him in check, like an offensive coordinator should be.

Get used to it. Without a threat of an equally talented back, Westbrook is gonna have a subpar season. He's gonna be overused & get beat up and get tired really quickly.

[slap happy]

Why didn't westbrook play? I saw him and Levens on the bench with their pads on.
Because Big Red diddnt want to take a chance on him getting hurt. Levens did not play because he isnt fully up to speed on the offence yet.

[ironcity]

For all those people that knock Philly fans, you gotta admit, they welcomed Duce back with open arms last night. It was nice to see.

[SPEWEY]

We should forfit the last game vs the Jets. We cant risk loosing anymore guys.I agree. The final preseason games are useless anyway. If the NFL wasn't all about profit the preseason would be at least one game shorter.


I HATE Andy's play calls, preseason, inseason, postseason, whatever.
He is too damn predictable. & there is no one to keep him in check, like an offensive coordinator should be. I don't hate his play calls during the regular season for the most part. When the team got healthy last year, the offense was unstoppable. My biggest problem with him is how he gets ultra conservative during the playoffs.


Get used to it. Without a threat of an equally talented back, Westbrook is gonna have a subpar season. He's gonna be overused & get beat up and get tired really quickly.I think he'll have a good year. I don't expect him to average over 5 yards a carry like he did last year, but he could if Andrews is the real deal. A rumor came out today that Denver is looking to deal Hearst. I hope the Birds jump on that if it's true.

[SPEWEY]

I just bought tickets for the Ravens game. Holy shit are the prices expensive. I had to pay $175 a ticket for section 242. :icon_eek:

Anybody else going to be at that Halloween game?

[SPEWEY]

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!

He's baaaaack! I was so happy to hear that we got Douglas back this morning. After losing Kalu for the season he's the perfect guy to add to the mix. Supposedly, he's in a lot better shape this year than he was in Jax last season. Being able to sign him for less than a million made this a no-brainer. :clap:

Welcom back Hugh! :action-sm

[jewdown]

Supposedly, he's in a lot better shape this year than he was in Jax last season.

Then why did JAX cut him?
Hopefully, him & Trotter learned a big lesson.
Greedy bastards.
If we had 'em last year, our D might have been a lot stronger.
Oh well, hopefully they can get back to where they were when they left.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

If we had 'em last year, our D might have been a lot stronger.
Oh well, hopefully they can get back to where they were when they left.
Not nessecarily...

I think that with all of the injuries they had last year that he would have been on the field too much and wouldn't have been as good as a lot of people think he was...

Other than play 16 games He did NOTHING in Jacksonville last year. He's not a full time player any more...

As long as he doesn't have to play too much i like the signing, because it gives them a little more depth at end, but if he's going to play 75 - 80% of the time i think that he'll be useless when we need him the most...

[SPEWEY]

Then why did JAX cut him?
His salary was the main reason. He's never going to be the player that he was a few years ago, but he should be a nice fit in a rotation here, if he is indeed in much better shape than last season.

[slap happy]

Great pick up. Hughs presence in the locker room alone makes this a great move, everything he brings to the field is icing on the cake. damn now i gotta look for my 53 jersey.

[SPEWEY]

The last preseason game is so worthless. Only a few starters are even playing for the Eagles, and this is the most boring game ever.

Yet, I'm watching it. :icon_lol:

I can't wait for next week. Nothing better than opening up against the Jints. :rockon"

[slap happy]

well the eagles final cuts are done and Dorsey Levens DID NOT make the team. wow. not much depth at running back. if something happens to westbrook we are screwed. here is a link to the eagle homepage for a list of who made the cut and who did not: http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=14887

[SPEWEY]

Dorsey showed zero burst. I'm glad that he's gone after seeing that.

I wish that we didn't have to let Kori Dickerson go. He showed so much. If Bartrum wasn't the best long snapper in the NFL, he would have stayed.

I also hate seeing McCoo go. He's a local guy here.

[Sinn Fein]

The Walrus just got extended through 2010.

Story (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=14999)

What's not listed there is that he's getting like something like $4.2M/year.

News report was he is getting close to 5 mil a year.
She said we better get 5 Super Bowls for it, lol.

[SPEWEY]

I'm so glad that we extended his contract. I actually heard some idiots on WIP saying that it was a mistake and that Big Red hasn't earned it yet. :icon_eek: :icon_roll

He'll get us to the promised land. :clap:

[Sinn Fein]

I refuse to listen to those jackasses at WIP anymore. Simply put, they blow.

[slap happy]

speaking of jackasses on WIP, Howard Eskin has been suspended for 31 days for accusing AI's lawyer of paying off a witness to not testify. why do they keep that ass around?

anyway i think Big Red deserves his pay increase. it brings him even with most of the big time coaches in the league. that said that fat bastard better get us there soon. i bought and watched the new NFL Films DVD The Complete History of the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday. it got me so pumped up. ill have to watch it sunday before the game so i can get into full idiot mode.

[SPEWEY]

speaking of jackasses on WIP, Howard Eskin has been suspended for 31 days for accusing AI's lawyer of paying off a witness to not testify. why do they keep that ass around?I was wondering why he wasn't on the air. I was happy about it too.

I guess they keep him around because there are so many morons that love him. I definately think that he should get the boot. He's an asshole that doesn't know dick about the Eagles when it comes to analysis.

[Ballbuster1]

I've never liked Eskin. He's an ass and a Philadelphia sports
hater. I never understood what any station has seen in him.

[slap happy]

i would love for Glenn Macnow to take over the 3-7 slot on 610. the only show i can stand is the mid day show with Anthony and Steve.

[SPEWEY]

i would love for Glenn Macnow to take over the 3-7 slot on 610. I agree. I always like when he's in for Eskin.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I am in the minority here... I kind of like Eskin...

He's kind of like Heroin... fun in small doses, but to much of it can kill ya.

I mean he can be a tool but I get a chuckle when knuckle heads call and argue with him and act like they know more than him, when they really know less...

And you gotta like the Mark Lawrence calls on friday during football

[SPEWEY]

It's finally fucking game day!!! :icon_mrgr

I am soooooooo amped for today's game. With TO and Jevon on the team with no more Duuuuuuuuce, Troy, or Bobby, it's almost like a whole new team. If the Eagles are going to be a dominant team this year, games like this are the ones they need to make blowouts.

I'm interested in how many catches and yards TO gets, as well as how much pressure Jevon puts on Warner against that weak Giants offensive line.

Kinda hard to get a feel about this game since both teams will be much different than last year but I'm guessing it will be around 27-17 Eagles.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!

[Ballbuster1]

GO EAGLES !!!!!
Chillin a few beers while I cut the lawn.:bigok

[slap happy]

How sweet it is! Is this the Eagles offense ive watched over the years? this is great football. so many weapons the Jints dont know who to cover. God Bless TO.

McNabb is 14/18 204yds and 3 TDs and its only the half!


GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!

[SpotcheckBilly]

Iggles look awesome this year..T.O. is a huge pick-up. I take my hand off to all Eagles fans.

[Ballbuster1]

Finally, a decent home opener.
The hat trick for T.O. :clap:

Westbrook with a combined run & recieption yardage
just over 160. Great all around job by Brian.:bigok

And Donnie Mac goin 26 for 36 with no interceptions.:xyxthumbs

[Sinn Fein]

In one word: beautiful. The points they gave up at the end pissed me off though. It would have been nice to win by 4 TD's. But, they still beat the Giants, on opening day. I'm happy with that.

[Ballbuster1]

I told my wife about 5 minutes before that run by Barber,
that they had 1 more good push left in em and I figured they
would up the score a little. But it was way too late to really
mean anything.

[SPEWEY]

TO was everything thing that we thought he would be and more. :clap:

The offense is almost unstoppable now. So many weapons for a defense to cover. I feel really bad for Andrews though. The rookie was playing great.

[jpc165]

Great win, and they covered the 9 points!!

:icon_mrgr

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I was stoked by the game, too often they let crappy teams hang around longer than they should... Next week should be an awesome game Moss vs. TO, Culpepper/Mcnabb...




Oh and welcome to the NFL Mr. Manning:idiot:... your bell still ringing??? :devil:

[jpc165]

Trotter leveling Feagles was the best hit in the game. Poor Feagles, I almost felt sorry for him after that hit. Almost.

:icon_lol:

[SPEWEY]

How great was it to hear the Huuuuuuuuuuuugh chant again after that sack? :icon_mrgr

[Ballbuster1]

I'm looking foreward to a great Monday Night Football game
next week. Culpepper and Moss against McNabb and T.O. should
be a great game.

[jpc165]

This will be our biggest challenge for awhile, considering our next two teams are the Lions and Bears.

[jpc165]

Anyone else hear Moss talking some shit about T.O.? Some reporter asked him about the match up of him and T.O. Moss said that there is no comparison between him and any other receiver in the league. He said no one gets the coverage I do. He didn't even talk about T.O., he just lumped him into all other receivers. Let the shit talking commence!

[SPEWEY]

I don't think that TO will say anything bad about Moss. TO said last year that Moss was hands down the best receiver in the NFL.

This game is going to be exciting. I can't wait.

[jpc165]

This game is going to be exciting. I can't wait.I hear ya. I don't want to wait unitl Monday at 9.

Did u hear they resigned Levens and dropped Hart? I'm not sure about that move.

[SPEWEY]

I don't know what happened with Hart. He didn't play that poorly last year and I don't recall him getting really torched in preseason. It was obvious that writing was on the wall for him being gone when they didn't activate him for last week's game.

I think Levens showed in the preseason that he didn't have much gas left in the tank. We better pray that nothing happens to Westbrook. We're fucked if he gets hurt.

[Ballbuster1]

I think Levens showed in the preseason that he didn't have much gas left in the tank. We better pray that nothing happens to Westbrook. We're fucked if he gets hurt.Amen, you got that right.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

The Iggles are talking to the Jets about LaMont Jordan... Allegedly...

[SPEWEY]

The Iggles are talking to the Jets about LaMont Jordan... Allegedly...Is this a new report? I thought those talks died out a couple of weeks ago.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I would assume that it was new. I heard it yesterday on WIP. They said that the GM of the jets confirmed that the eagles inquired about Jordan...

Now I don't know when that was or what that piece of info is really worth... It seems weird to me that if they would sign Levens and then trade for Jordan, and cut Hart...

GO EAGLES !!!!!!!

I sure am! I hate how long Mondays are until game time. I've had Comcast SportsNet on since I got home from work. I can't wait until kickoff.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!

[slap happy]

GO BIRDS

I cant belive the hype behind this game. ive been listening to 610 all day and im as pumped as i was for the playoffs.


E.A.G.L.E.S....EAGLES

[Ballbuster1]

Half-time.........what a nail biter!

Al Morganti from ESPN may be right,
The win could come down to Aker's
kicking ability.

[Sinn Fein]

4th quarter up by 8 points... Brutal...

[Ballbuster1]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:

Fuck Randy Moss. He may get more catches than TO (8 vs 4), butOwens
got better yardage out of his work (69 vs 79). Another outstanding game
by Westbrook. A great game by all. I was impressed.
BTW, this is the Birds 1st 2-0 start underfatboy.:xyxthumbs

He can say he's the best....All I know is I'm the best for the Eagles.

Cocky????.........yup. but well said T.O.

[jpc165]

My best friends a vikings fan. I had a party at my place for the game last night. It was 15 against one. He couldn't take it.

Did you ever watch a home viking's game? They play that damn horn after every good play. Its annoying. So I loaded up my Lord of the rings movie, and queued it at the end of the fellowship where theres a horn blown that sounds damn close to the vikings horn. After all the eagles good plays I blasted the horn through my stereo. It was fucking great.

GO EAGLES!

[ih8Uboo-boo]

So is this a "let down" game against Detroit this week??? I'm thinking that the fact that the Lions are 2-0 will keep the Iggles focused and pull out a victory...

[slap happy]

There is absolutly no way that the Eagles lose to Detroit.

[Ballbuster1]

3 and 0........... I like it.:clap: Sounds good to me. Let's go Birds !

[Sblueman Radio]

Hey never say never. Nobody thought the Bears could beat the Packers last week and alot of bookies made some serious cake off that mistake. I just hope for the people laying money on the Eagles that the players do not look past the Lions and get burned.

[Ballbuster1]

Hey never say never. Nobody thought the Bears could beat the Packers last week and alot of bookies made some serious cake off that mistake. I just hope for the people laying money on the Eagles that the players do not look past the Lions and get burned.I totally agree. No game is a lock. The Lions are playing good ball,
and are playing in their house. No way can you count them out.

[SPEWEY]

Everybody keeps saying that this will be a close game, but I think this game will be a reality check for the Lions. There defense isn't very good. The Eagles will move the ball at will. I think that the birds win by 2 touchdowns.

[MetalSign]

Woohoo! Up by 2 TD's in the first quarter. Damn these florida stations with no Eagles coverage! I need a SU feed for WYSP.

[Sinn Fein]

Nothing like being 3-0... :)

[SPEWEY]

This offense is sick. If Westbrook stays healthy, no team can stop us.

[MetalSign]

BAM!

Oh yeah, and BAM! part 2:

http://members.aol.com/lisanchrisfl/myhomepage/hasselbeckownedagain

[Ballbuster1]

Once again, a thing of beauty. It's gettin scary. McNabb is on the money,
and he's hitting everybody. Westbrook is a workhorse, TO is banging
TD passes every game, and Reid's bend but don't break Defense is just
not giving up alot of points. The Freak is just fantastic, too....:clap:

[SPEWEY]

Yeah the Freak has been really good. 3 sacks for him yesterday. He should have had a few last week but that Culpepper is such a monster.

[jpc165]

I'm also a PSU fan. And after watching their horrific offense on Saturday, it was so fucking nice to see the eagles performance on offense yesterday. I can't get enough.

:icon_mrgr

[splooge01]

I'm a JET fan, but I will give the Eagles a hand. :clap:

[MikeHimself]

I'm from Philly and I am very happy right now. First time they have been 3-0 in a long time. Now on to the Bears. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

[MetalSign]

Man, I'm watching the Skins/Cowboys game to see what the Eagles have ahead in the division. Damn, both teams look like ass. Sure Dallas has good D, and the Skins have Clinton Portis, but jeezus, what a boring ass game. Looks like God-boy (Kurt Warner), his lesbian wife and the NY Giants are the only competition in the NFC East...

[wackadoo]

man this game is almost unfair

[slap happy]

yeah Donny mac at home in front of all his peeps, da Bears without thie starting QB. this should be a slaughter. but f it how many killings have we been offered over the years.

GO BIRDS!!!!!

[Lil'GlubGlub]

FLY Eagles Fly, onto victory.

[Ballbuster1]

Got tickets for Fan Appreciation Day tomm. Eff that.
Takin a radio so I can hear da Birds.:icon_mrgr

[SPEWEY]

Poor Johnathan Quinn. It's going to be ugly.

[slap happy]

4 and 0! not the thrashing i expected to be but a win is a win. The Bears D was better then i expected, the got great pressure on McNabb. Bears offense blows big time though.

GO BIRDS!!!!!

[Sinn Fein]

A win is a win, but boy was this an unpleasant game to watch...

[Ballbuster1]

A win is a win, but boy was this an unpleasant game to watch...Glad I didn't watch it.:icon_mrgr

The wind was a real bitch toward the end of the game. Akers nailed a field goal close to 50 yards out in the beginning. He is still the best kicker in the NFC.

[SPEWEY]

It wasn't pretty but it's still impressive to win by double digits on the road. Especially when it was a bad game for you. This is easily the best team Reid's fielded. We're spoiled by not a big enough blowout. :clap:

[slap happy]

thank god football returns tomorrow. bye weeks blow. i know the players will not admitt it but this is a huge revenge game for the birds. i wanna see the panthers D try to pull the shit they did to Pinky on TO. the link will be rockin for sure.

[MetalSign]

Hell yes! Although I can't watch the game here in FL. They are playing the Pats game for some reason, even though they usually play Carolina games when they're on. I can't wait to move back to the Philly area...

[Sinn Fein]

About 90 minutes before kickoff. I am pumped. The bye week sucked. Last weekend was boring as hell.

I just hope they aren't rusty. I really want to see them take it to Carolina today.

[XMScott]

Football?

Stellers over Dallas

LETS GO JETS!!!!!!!
i hope they give Jordan the ball alot more to rest Curis for next week, no Moss but we should be ok

Edit, ohhh Eagles thread, my mistake, they are going to loose to the Panthers, enjoy the game

[Ballbuster1]

I just hope they aren't rusty. I really want to see them take it to Carolina today.Birds are killer after a bye week. I expect to see 5-0 in a few hours.

Who let the Jets fan in????????"whaa"
Oh, I forgot, he's the only one on the board apparently.:haha7:

[SPEWEY]

It's too bad the Panthers are so banged up. I really looked forward to this game in the preseason. Their injuries have definately taken away what looked originally to be a good game.

If we win by more than 10 points today, we will only be the 7th team in NFL history to win their first five games by double digits. :clap:

[Ballbuster1]

Gotta love it. 30-8 final.

go eagles! panthers offense sucks. bring on the shit stains

[MetalSign]

Go Birds! 7 days till Cleveland... Cleveland couldn't beat Philly in the naughty nighty contest, and they won't beat the Eagles next week!

[Ballbuster1]

Lito gets his 1st NFL TD on that 64 yard interception. :clap:
Westbrook scores in the end. Even Dorsey Levens gets
a TD. They thought they had Westbrook contained but
totally forgot about T.O. Over 100 yds for him today.

[we're artists]

I've always had faith in Lito. I was way more concerned over the loss of Duce rather than Bobby T & Troy Vincent. Lito & Shelodon seem to be filling in quite nicely.

i cant take many more games like that. we won but should not have. McNabb fell asleep in the second half and Fatboys play calling was terrible. 3 and 1 RUN THE FUCKING BALL!!!!! and I hope all the officials that called todays game die slow painfull deaths. what fucking game were they watching? and thank God for Akers and Dtemer for controlling that ball.

oh and thanks for getting me drunk fuckers

[MikeHimself]

they should treat that game as a loss. Too many penalties. I was waiting for Reid to return a kick but he never did. Oh well. 6-0 baby!

[Hoagie]

Thank God the Eagles won that game. Now I don't have to murder the entire team. If we beat the Cowboys for them and they didn't beat the Browns for us, there would have been a rampage.

[SPEWEY]

The Dawkins call was complete bullshit. There were some bullshit calls that went in our favor too though. Nate Wayne, outside of the one tipped pass, played like ass.

Will Westbrook be ready to play next week is my biggest concern. Against that Ravens defense, we need all weapons to perform well.

[Sinn Fein]

WHEW! That's all I can say. And yes, that Dawkins penalty was a load of shit.

But 6-0 is 6-0.

[SPEWEY]

I'm off to Philly now. I'll be going to my first game at the Linc tomorrow. I'm so pysched!!

Next week will be a tough one, but it should be a good game.
The Steelers are looking real impressive.

[ironcity]

Should be a great game. I think the Steelers have an advantage in the running game. But they have no one that can defend T.O. I hate to be a presumptuous Steeler fan but this could be a Superbowl preview.

[Sinn Fein]

[SPEWEY]

I'm really pysched for this game too. My father's a Steelers fan, so this one is extra special for me. It has the makings of a classic. It looks like Westbrook probably won't play which will hurt us like it did on Sunday, but we should be able to throw on them. We must stop Duce on first & second downs, and let JJ pressure Roth with looks he's never seen before.

[jpc165]

I usually root for the steelers. But they need to come down to earth. Its over for rothlsidffdfijhfj this week. The eagles are the best road team in the league. Bring it on.

I'll gladly give away one point. $$

[pooter]

But they need to come down to earth. Its over for rothlsidffdfijhfj this week.
We've heard that every week since he beat Miami. :)

If Philly beats us, it'll be thru the air to TO, not by exploiting Roethlisberger.

[jpc165]

ya it should be a good one

i wish it was sunday now!!!

[Sinn Fein]

I think Duce is going to be the deciding factor, and think that letting him go is going to bite the Eagles (for the first time) hard in the ass tomorrow.

[SPEWEY]

Hopefully the Eagles can get an early lead and take Duce out of the game. The line on this game is now even. I wonder if by kickoff tomorrow the Eagles will be underdogs.

And for anyone who doesn't know, Westbrook's a go for tomorrow. :clap9:

[slap happy]

Westbrook probably wont get many touches, but just having him on the field in its self is a threat. they cant ignore him even if he is a little banged up. i cant wait for tomorrow. this will be a great game win or lose.

[SPEWEY]

How much they use Westbrook will be interesting. He doesn't need many touches to be effective. The Steelers would be tough to run against even with him 100% healthy, but his receiving out of the backfield will be big. I don't know if anyone from Pittsburgh can stop TO, but then again the size of Burress and Ward will give the Steelers a big advantage too.

Congrats to Lito Sheppard for being named Defensive Player of The Month. :clap:

Both Sheppard and Brown signed contract extensions yesterday. Who's Bobby and Troy? :icon_lol:

[we're artists]

Hopefully the Eagles can get an early lead and take Duce out of the game. The line on this game is now even. I wonder if by kickoff tomorrow the Eagles will be underdogs.

And for anyone who doesn't know, Westbrook's a go for tomorrow. :clap9:
Taking Duce out may not be a factor. He's listed at questionable.

[SPEWEY]

Taking Duce out may not be a factor. He's listed at questionable.Yeah. I posted that before Duce was downgraded. It would be fucked up if Westbrook played today and Staley didn't. If Duce isn't in there it makes a big difference. We would be able to play Cover 2 with our safeties instead of using them to jam the box on early downs.

[SPEWEY]

I can't remember being this embarassed before under Reid. The Steelers owned us. Only Rayburn and Reese seemed to have showed up.

[tattered]

look at this objectionally as a cowboys fan i must say this has been coming for a couple weeks now as they managed to play shittier and shittier every week...u shouldnt say ur surprised...they beat the browns by what 3 points?

[Lil'GlubGlub]

i for one, having lived in both cities, am a fan of both teams. man i love to see a PA super bowl.

[we're artists]

1st off... props to the steelers, they took it to us. it was embarrassing. i'm still wearing my jersey though. not about to jump ship like so many others. we just have to get ready for monday night. I do wish I saw more heat however coming from TO to Mcnabb. he needs someone to call him out when he's having a bad game and this was definitely one of his worse.

[slap happy]

what an embarrasment. props to the Steelers. at least they showed up to play today. i dont know where the Eagles were at but that team looked like a sub par high school football team.

[Sinn Fein]

Ok... So we got ass-F'ed by the Steelers? Gotta move past it....


It was awful to watch, though...

Shouldn't be too hard to do, you have the Cowboys next week after all. I'm hoping the Iggles make Parcells cry. :)

We have the Brownies next week. Pretty dangerous game. We kicked their ass earlier, but I'm hoping this won't be a letdown game...gotta keep up this intensity.

[jpc165]

for the first time this season i'm not sure who was better - PSU's offense or the birds offense

what a fucking disaster that was

up next....the cowgirls, thank christ

[Ballbuster1]

Glad I missed this one. I wasn't sure the Birds would pull this
one out, but I had hoped for a better game than what I heard
about. They were gonna drop one sooner or later. Time to get
it in gear and move on. I still have faith in them.
Props to the Steelers, they are looking good.

[Hoagie]

yes indeed. a win against the Cowgirls always much more gooder then a regular win, esp a blow out. and congrats to your Steelers. they are a fun team to watch. im not really an AFC guy but if CBS keeps putting them on ill keep watching.Me too. I love the fact that the NFL changed their broadcast guidlines for the NFL. Previous years we got all the Jets games if CBS wasn't blacked out. Now we get all the Steelers games (so far) all year. But a big part of central PA got blocked into the Baltimore market and have to watch Raven's games instead of Steelers games. The TV station and the fans are furious so there will probably be another change next year. I just hope we don't end up with the Ravens.

And congrats to the Eagles fans on their win tonight. Andy Reid is really good at getting his team through a loss and getting them to play well the next week.

[SPEWEY]

What a difference TO has made to this team. It's fucking great to finally have a wide receiver that dominates. Did anyone see that stat they showed at the beginning of the game stating that McNabb's QB rating for passes intented for Owens was 131? That was BEFORE the game. I can only imagine what it is now. :icon_eek:

Now on to pound the Deadskins! :icon_evil

Quality win on a short week against the best defense in football. The best part of the game to me was Westbrook showing that he's healthy once again. He's back to being his normal sparkplug self just in time for the Giants again. :icon_cool

[jpc165]

that second half was fun to watch. the d did their job yesterday. and now we can clinch the division in november against the g-men. i think eli will be a great quarterback but next week hes gonna get beat up again.

[SPEWEY]

If we can stop Tiki on 1st and 2nd downs like we did Portis last week, JJ will unleash the hounds on the rook. It could get ugly even though we normally don't play too well at the Meadowlands.

btw - I was watching The Miracle At The Meadowlands game today on NFL Network, and the Giants had a player named Jimmy Robinson. I was cracking up thinking of Lil' Jimmy. :icon_lol:

I care if we win this week but it won't be the end of the world. I just wanna see Eli get slammed like he was in the first week against the eagles.

[slap happy]

the only thing better then an Eagles v Cowboys game is an Eagles v Jints game. i hope the defense can give Eli a proper welcome to the NFL.

[Ballbuster1]

Nice, 4 time NFC East Champs..............:clap:

Now they need to stay focused and contine to win to take
home field advantage in the playoffs. They really have to
get focused and play better in the 1st half. They can't play
that way against power teams like the Steelers or the Patriots.

[slap happy]

WELL DONE EAGLES, NFC EAST CHAMPS!!! :clap: :drunk:

[MikeHimself]

now we gotta wrap up the home field advantage.

[jpc165]

that was too easy. poor eli.

[SPEWEY]

What a difference Trotter starting has made! Back to back games with no TD's allowed. :clap:


Rough first half, but we dominated the 2nd half once again.

Congrats to Andy for being the Eagles all time winniest coach. :)

The Packers have been hot and will present a real challenge next week. Let's beat their asses!!!

[jpc165]

i'll be at the game 50 yard line 100 level. can't wait for that one!!

[slap happy]

either way im happy, i was a little worried when fat boy took over the team but he has proved himself time and again and he did it his way. i think he will go down as the greatast coach in eagles history, we just need that damn trophy.

[Ballbuster1]

Andy kicks ass. He is definately the best coach
the Birds have had to date. He has alot of critics,
but I will not be one of them. He's the man, IMO.:clap:

[we're artists]

gotta love big red. even if we don't get a ring he's still the best thing to happen to the eagles in a long time. it's been a great past few years and hopefully an even better next few. let's just hope we beat the packers sunday. i'm ready for the great brett favre (this is sarcasm in case you didn't notice) to be taken down again by the eagles.

[mackie421]

wow... this is the first time i realized that there is a sports forum on here. I clicked into this thread thinking it would be a flame war. But to my pleasant surprise its civil in here. Go Birds! Andy Reid has been great for the Eagles. Wouldn't want anyone else coaching the team.

[gasbuddah]

I think that Reid's coaching style should be called the "plug-and-play".

Over the last 4 years Andy has proved that no matter who he has to "plug" into the lineup he can still get the team to "play". Don't think that's impressive, then look at the chiefs since Priest went out 3 weeks ago.

[SPEWEY]

I love the sig pic gasbuddah. :icon_lol:

Favre vs. Eagles under Andy Reid & Jim Johnson:

Playoffs 04: 15/28, 180 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT (sacked 1)
Week 10/03: 14/22, 109 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT (sacked 4)
Week 3/00: 18/33, 189 yds, 0 TD, 3 INT (sacked 5)

3 TDs vs 5 INTs, and not a single 200 yard game. Bring the pressure and he will make mistakes like the floater in the playoffs to Dawkins last year.

[slap happy]

Wow this is not the game I was expecting. Way to step up big time on a national stage. It was a great sign with my man B Dawk getting that pic early on, and you said it Spewey put the pressure on Favre and he will make mistakes. And how about Brian Westbrook with the game of his career. Nice!


GO BIRDS!!!

[we're artists]

utterly detroyed gb and ended favre's 36 game streak with a td. just awesome.

[SPEWEY]

How about all those articles about the Packers being the hottest team in the NFC? :icon_lol:

Bend over and take it Favre. We are the NFC. :clap:

[Sinn Fein]

The Eagles owned Green Bay today. I wish they would have ramped up the score a bit more instead of going for all those field goals...

[jpc165]

what an ass beating. had a great time drinking out in the parking lot before the game and then went in and enjoyed some more of the $6 beers. they kicked out this retarded packer fan. she was fucking crazy. even at 35-0 she was still screaming about how the eagles suck. she left with security crying and giving the finger to all of us. we threw beers and sang "hey hey goodbye". it was great to see that bitch get kicked out.

that was my first experience at the linc. good times

[Ballbuster1]

I was in NYC for most of the day. Got the WYSP feed about halftime
on the way home and heard it was 35 - 0 then. Couldn't wait to see the
replays of some of it on the news last night. Great game.
Plus the Falcons went down to Tampa yesterday. Good for us....:clap:

[we're artists]

The Eagles owned Green Bay today. I wish they would have ramped up the score a bit more instead of going for all those field goals...
i wish andy would've pulled our starters a little earlier. especially when you consider that favre was taken out before dmac and they were losing.

[mackie421]

yeah... i think reid was waiting for the 4th quarter to pull the starters. I guess he was playing it safe, losing that lead would have been embarrassing

[Ballbuster1]

People are bashing Reid for not pulling them earlier. WTF !!
Think people.........How many games have the Eagles started slow
in the 1st half and turned it on in the 2nd?
You can't take a chance with a QB like Farve. It could have bit them
in the ass if they came back strong. I like Reid's decisions.
Screw all the Eagles haters. Go get 'em fat boy.:clap:

[jims oniony bag]

theres nothing better than being able to relax and watch the beagles kick the shit out of any team. but better when its a good team.

Screw all the Eagles haters. Go get 'em fat boy.:clap: I'm not bashing Andy. For the most part I think he has done a fantastic job especially considering he is also the GM. I just think we shouldn't have risked major injuries when we;ve accomplished so much so far and still have so much to accomplish. As for the scoring, the Eagles are a different team this year. We have outscored our opponents in all 4 quarters so far. I would not call that slow starts.

1st quarter- 86 to 40
2nd qtr- 112 to 56
3rd quarter 69 to 20
4th quarter- 70 to 65

Except for Cleveland most of those 4th qtr scores were garbage points and I think most would agree that this was not the same Brett Favre that you were referring to. Also, why would Andy keep in Donovan longer than Favre stayed in the game?

[Ballbuster1]

That wasn't directed at you. I just think maybe Andy saw that they were
in a groove and having a good time and left them in to help keep that good
feeling going. They need to stay up for the rest of the season and pounding
the Packers was a good time. I'll leave the back seat coaching to the media.

[mackie421]

I agree with keeping the starters in against the master of the impossible, Brett Favre, but I was extremely nervous about the starters getting hurt. Especially after that dolt Collinsworth had to say something about it. I figured that was the kiss of death.

[Ballbuster1]

Well, here's the quote from wide body himself:

A couple of years ago, we had a game at Tennessee where it started
off with us up by 21 points and we lost in the 2nd half. I took full responsibility for that
because I pulled in the reins and they came back and kicked our tail. We kind of made
a pact with each other that we wouldn't do that and that we would keep the pedal
to the metal if possible

[ih8Uboo-boo]

Well, here's the quote from wide body himself:
I have no problem with him leaving the starters in there as long as he did, but continuing to have them throw the ball when your up by 35 is wrong...

I understand that Big Red doesn't like to run a lot, but I think that you NEED to run sometimes and I just hope that they can do it when it counts. I just think that if your going to leave your starters in and throw like that your just asking for trouble...

Now if you have your 2nd team in the game, I think that you still call the game the same way, because you'll never know when they'll be pressed into action, so they gotta stay sharp. Its not our problem if our 2nd teamers are better than your starters...

[SPEWEY]

I hate Sunday Night games. The day just takes forever. Plus, I don't like staying up late when I've got work early in the morning. A blowout win would make it easier to deal with though. :icon_bigg

[we're artists]

i hate monday games more because it sucks to have to work all day when all u can think is football!

[Ballbuster1]

Closer than I would have liked it, but another notch in the belt.:clap:

[we're artists]

Dude, thank god for Dawk. Dmac had a terrible game with those freakin dirt balls. But a win is a win. Also now gotta wait another week to see those tights on Andy.

[Sinn Fein]

A win is a win, no matter how ugly...

[ih8Uboo-boo]

Agreed, not Donovan's best game, but it was enough to get the job done. Winning a close game when your not having your best day is never a bad thing, ESPECIALLY later in the season...

On a sidenote, does anyone else think that Gibbs just looks lost on the sidelines... Simply amazing... I thought that he looked lost out there, and the Redskin's clock management was awfull

[jpc165]

the redskins d is one of the best in the league. it was a tough one, but i'll take it. its a good thing the redskins offense sucked.

[Ballbuster1]

Another not so pretty win. But Donovan gave it his all in that last drive.
Gotta like the never say die attitude of the Birds.:clap:

Hopefully an MRI will show TO not seriously hurt. We now have home
field throughout the play offs, so let them rest. Wins will be nice, but
fresh, healthy players will be better for the final run.

[SPEWEY]

It was ugly today and nothing to thump our chests about, but we set a franchise record for most wins in a season, plus we wrapped up home field advantage.

Hopefully TO will be fine from the high ankle sprain for the playoffs.

[slap happy]

thank god i had to work today and missed this ugly, ugly game. i just hope TO will be 100% by the playoffs.

[AJellyDonut]

Further testing on Terrell Owens revealed a fractured fibula, but it's a sprain of his deltoid ligament that will require surgery and could sideline him up until Super Bowl Sunday. "We'e holding out hope he can return," said head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder.

only team that I see posing a threat is Atlanta and Vick is inconsistent and last time these two teams met in the playoffs(3 or 4 years ago) we stopped Vick.

I have just had enough of Todd Stinkson. He has to go.

as for the dallas game. a wins a win.

how about the pats losing to the fins. does that mean they're going lose early in the playoffs? come on, on any givien sunday any team can step up and play a close game, even the cowgirls or as i like to call them the cowcunts.

I really believe the Eagles will be in the dance.

That must be why you were loosing the Dallas game until that touchdown late in the fourth quarter. If you guys had that much trouble with our swiss cheese defense.....

dallas tried to pull the same defensive scheme against the eagles as the redskins, too bad it didn't work. dallas isn't good enough :/

who won that game btw? it wasn't T.O, his number is 5.

Is that all you want, is to get to the Bowl? After 3 straight NFC Championship collapses, getting there is ok? Yeah right! Somehow I don't think just getting there was the plan when TO came to Philly...

[Silen]

you have to get there first to win it.

[Ballbuster1]

you have to get there first to win it.We will get there. I have no doubt about that.:icon_wink

[SPEWEY]

I'm not an Iggles fan, but Pinky did chose the worst possible moment to turn into a pussy. Somebody on that team better slap him around to wake him up.He's always been a pussy. He's only effective on the sidelines when there are no big bad safeties to scare him. That said, he can still be effective as a #2, but he is no way a number 1. He can't carry us now without TO.

On offense we need:

-Mitchell to actually fucking catch the ball. He's seemingly always open.
-Keep Westbrook splitting out wide and creating mismatch problems. It opens ups others.
-Use more LJ than Chad without TO. LJ stretches the defense more than Chad can.
-McNabb to run more when the hole is there. This year he has held back because he knew someone would be open. Without TO disrupting the defenses, it won't happen as much. Run, Donnie, run!
-The offensive line needs to continue the good pass blocking, but at the same time create more of a push in the run blocking. It's been a bit subpar recently.
-Big Red to not get conservative in the playoffs.

On defense we just need them to keep doing what they've been doing since Trot became a starter. His run stopping along with the excellent play by Dhani Jones in that area recently has set up the pass rush nice.

We can still make a lot of noise in the playoffs. Winning the Superbowl wasn't going to be easy even with TO since the AFC is the better conference, but we still can do it. I have confidence in the Birds still. :clap:

[ih8Uboo-boo]

Is that all you want, is to get to the Bowl? After 3 straight NFC Championship collapses, getting there is ok? Yeah right! Somehow I don't think just getting there was the plan when TO came to Philly...
Getting there without TO is without a doubt good enough, especially if they play a healthy NE, Pitt, or possibly the colts (i just don't know if we can keep up with them on Offense). The thing is that you get there, and let the rest take care of itself. Who'd a thunk that the New England would have beaten the Rams a few years ago...

Anything can happen in the Bowl...

[SPEWEY]

You guys have to check this out. It's a cartoon made by Bang, who is a cool Redskins fan, about the Eagles losing TO. It's hysterical. Anyone not familiar with his toons, check out his archive. Great stuff.

Good Luck at the game, just don't get too loud and you'll be fine... Act like an asshat, and you'll probably get harassed. I don't think that the fans will be too bad since the game means absolutly nothing to the birds...

As far as the bengals sucking I think that you'll be alright, Marv has them going in the right direction, Palmer's shown flashes all season of why he was the #1 pick 2 years ago. The Bengals will probably be the chic pick to make "The Leap" next year, if they're in the NFC they're probably a 10 win team this year...

Police Say Man Scammed NFL Players Out Of Money
Man Allegedly Posed As NFL Players, Calling Other Players For Money

POSTED: 2:54 pm EST January 3, 2005
UPDATED: 3:20 pm EST January 3, 2005

A 19-year-old Maryland man faces charges for an alleged scam operation that bilked National Football League players out of money.

Howard County police charged Lewis Venson Sills, of Elkridge, Md., on multiple charges of theft and identity theft, as well as resisting arrest and assaulting police officers.

Police received a report last week about someone suspected of fraudulently soliciting money from NFL players. The man, who investigators later identified as Sills, allegedly called various players, posing as a friend or teammate. Authorities said Sills allegedly fabricated elaborate stories about being in need and requested that cash be wired to him.

Investigators said Sills posed as Washington Redskins player Laveranues Coles when he allegedly contacted Oakland Raiders player Warren Sapp last Tuesday. Police said Sills allegedly asked Sapp to wire him $1,800 in Elkridge.

Sapp contacted his financial manager, Jeff Rubin, and both were suspicious. Rubin contacted police and then wired $525 to "Laveranues Coles" at the Super Fresh store in Elkridge. While detectives waited outside, Sills entered the store, identified himself as Coles and took the money, police said.

Three Howard County police detectives approached Sills as he left the store. Authorities said Sills ran from the officers and resisted arrest when the detectives caught him. Authorities arrested and charged Sills with theft, identity theft, resisting arrest and assaulting officers.

Investigators learned of other, similar alleged cases involving Sills. They said Sills called former Washington Redskins player Darrell Green pretending to be Baltimore Ravens player Peter Boulware on Dec. 17. Acting as Boulware, police said Sills allegedly claimed to have a cousin named Lewis Sills and asked Green to wire $900 directly to Sills. Green believed the story and wired the cash, which Sills picked up at the Super Fresh store, according to police.

Then, police said, Sills called Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, allegedly posing as Washington Redskins player James Thrash on Dec. 22. Police said Sills asked McNabb to wire $600 to Elkridge and McNabb agreed. Sills posed as Thrash to pick up the money and signed Thrash's name on a transaction receipt.

In those two cases, Sills was charged with theft from Green and McNabb. He was charged with identity theft for posing as Boulware and Thrash. Police rearrested Sills at the Terrace Motel in Elkridge on Dec. 30 without incident.

I don't know what game you watched last year, but I thought that they played like shit had no business beatting the Packers in the Divisional Playoff. To refresh your memory, the Eagles were beat up pretty bad going into the Divisional Championship Game against a healtier Carolina Panthers team. The loss, while disappointing, was not as crushing as the previous year against Tampa. That was the game they should have won, because they OWNED Tampa the previous 4-5 times that they played.

This looks like a different team compared to the previous 3 incarnations of them. They are without a doubt more agressive on both sides of the ball. Barring any major injuries, I don't think that they lose another one at home this year...

[jpc165]

And atlanta's pass d sucks almost as much as the vikes.

the falcunts are good against the run, but we all know how important the run game is for the eagles offense this year! :icon_mrgr

I don't care enough about your team to think back to how they actually played the last three years, but thanks for reminding me they never should have even gotten to the NFC Championship last year. :icon_mrgr

Here's what I'm nervous about, as you should be to, the Eagles don't just make the Super Bowl the same season as the Red Sox winning the World Series, it can't happen. And if it does, I'm more worried about the world ending then Philly actually getting to celebrate one of their sports teams winning a championship.

[wackadoo]

i am cautiously optomistic regarding the championship agains the atlanta vicks. i am loving what i am hearing from the birds tho!! loosey goosey.:clap:

Just trying to put things in perspective because that angle won't be talked about at all

i don't think that life as we know it will cease to exist because philly wins a championship. I mean that the city DOES have some championships to their credit...

Hopefully those nancy-boys from Atlanta won't be able to hang in the cold/snow.not me!! i do not want the wind!! snow only helps a running team and thats exactly what the atlanta vicks are. the iggles are a passing O and they need a windless sunday!!! after the last 3 years i want PERFECT weather. :icon_mad:

[Sinn Fein]

I agree 100%. We want zero wind. But, cold is good. Our boys can take the cold.

Unfortunately, the weather reports are indicating there will be some wind.

[ih8Uboo-boo]

Wind shmind...

It was pretty windy last Sunday, to the point where the announcers wre making excuses for Culpepper's crappy start...

BTW, guess who's going to the game sunday...

[Silen]

hoge? that would be the day..

[wackadoo]

I agree 100%. We want zero wind. But, cold is good. Our boys can take the cold. ok..we need to pray to the football gods, 10 inches of snow and now wind!!!

it should be a fun game to watch.

mcnabb will have to run alot more this week.

I am sick of everyone lining up to suck Michael Vick's cock. I really hope The Freak goes retro like L.T. on Joe Theisman... Just so these fuckers shut up.

He can be shut down. Look at the stats from the last time they played the bucs(week 13). I think the final was 27 - 0. Tampa shut them out and the falcons did not clinch the division yet.

I don't want that. I want a healthy Vick the entire game just bottled up and swallowed whole by the Eagles defense. No injury excuses from Falcon fans.

I am so AMPED for this game.

WAR EAGLES!!!!

[ih8Uboo-boo]

I am so AMPED for this game....

Me too... this city is ready to EXPLODE and I'm going and can't f'n wait til sunday. I think that the game is an absolute drubbing of the falcons.

I just picked up all new gear to stay warm sunday...

[SPEWEY]

You're lucky to be going to the game. I don't care (hoo hoo) how cold it will be or how much snow there is, I'd kill to be at the Linc tomorrow. Have fun and be loud.

WAR EAGLES!!!

[Sinn Fein]

They are going to burn the Linc down if tomorrow does not result in an Eagles victory...

Heck, if they win there will probably be rioting.

My brother and I were discussing the same thing earlier today. No matter what happens there is going to be a huge reaction from the fans. I just hope most people don't do anything stupid.

[Ballbuster1]

Stick a fork in the Steelers. They are done with 2 minutes to go and
down by 3 TD's. We'll be playing the Pats in 2 weeks.

[NightStalker3]

Good Luck, I look forward to a good super bowl with the Eagles.

Since I've already wasted most of my day congratulating all my friends and family members who believe yesterday was a watershed day in the history of the Eagles, I thought I might complete the task by offering my congrats to all of you Wackbag fans as well. :clap:

There, penance served. I hope the Pats wipe the floor with the likes of you. :icon_mrgr

Still a proud hater after all these years!!!

[Ballbuster1]

No problem, keep them coming. It's all the Eagle haters that keep
us really inspired. Everybody hates the Birds but the loyal fans.:icon_wink

[wackadoo]

anybody hear what that a-hole mora said in his after game press conference? "i hope it doesn't take us 4 yers to get to the super bowl". what a tool! i guess being a sore loser is a mora family trait.:icon_roll

Terrell Owens says his recovery is way ahead of schedule, surprising even his doctor.

Whether the All-Pro wide receiver will be healthy enough to play for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl remains a mystery.

“What a lot of people don’t realize is that I’ve been doing a lot of rehab on my own, a lot of healing on my own, but spiritually God is healing me and I’m way ahead of where a lot of people expect me to be, even the doctor,” Owens said Monday. “He’s even shocked at what he’s seen. Spiritually I’ve been healed and I believe that I’ll be out there on that field Sunday, regardless of what anyone says.”



ok terrific, TO. go god! whatever it takes to get him playing in the big game.

[wackadoo]

just heard on espn...T.O. is cleared by docs to practice.

[wackadoo]

just heard on espn...T.O. is cleared by docs to practice.nix that. docs will not clear him to play, but he says he will anyway. if the docs dont clear him i do not see andy playing him.

[ironcity]

Pleas, please let the Eagles win. I really hate those guys.

This city is going to be at a fever pitch by game time...

eskin said today on 610 that TO was running in the practice bubble for like 45 minutes. he said he broke a mean sweat and everything. and quoted him as saying "and they said i couldnt do it" all loud and boisterous like.

he's going to start practicing next week and he's definately playing in the bowl.

eagles in the street at the parade when they win.

I think that I'm lay a dollar on the Birds on the money line (+250) and gonna do a dollar parlay with the eagles +7 and over 44...
