Eagles Playoff bound

[Odin's Hand]

The Eagles are hot right now and the Giants are on a losing skid. If I had to lay money either way, I'd take the Eagles plus the points. I'd take the Eagles straight up, too.

I forget but there was a screen cap of a scene in the Simpsons where a guy is holding a big lock with words written on it saying "lock of the week"  Think it was JB who did it

eagles choke again  !!

mcnabb sucked in the first 1/2 & thats what cost the Eagles , again.,...

Jim Johnson screwed up too...

he actually bought into the notion ASSante samuel was really worth 60 million bucks & actually could cover Fiztgerald 1 on 1 ....

bwahahahahahahaaaa....

so  its not all mcnabbs fault , I lay equal blame on whoever paid 60mil for samuel in the first place & gave jim johnson a false sense of security ...

the eagles played the cards better when samuels was on the bench earlier in the year, because they played them smarter...

Cards will win the SB...

I guess you missed those two interceptions samuel had in the first two playoff games? both led to TD's

The reffs missed some pretty big penalties in that game. NOT to mention Aikers missing a FG and a extra point.

Mcnabb had a pretty good game considering what he has to play with, no good wide receivers at all. in the all the games he has played here only TO was his only true marquee WR had


The cards have no chance on winning

I wish the eagles had boulden and fitz.

Samuel dropped a Manning-101-pick in the SB last year costing the Pats the game.    He was too busy thinking about his victory dance to hold on to the damn ball. 

He is not worth the price of admission. 

That said, you were robbed a first down with a blown pass interference call  -- which was the game.     Refs in the NFL are getting worse every year.  They really need to address this problem.

Fitz & Bolden are to kurt warner, what Terrell Owens & D Stallworth were to D MCnabb 4 years ago...

the eagles have PLENTY of talent at WR  right now ...unless you think Tom Brady won 3 superbowls with something similar to T.O., Fitz &  Boldin at WR ?? .......problem is, Mcnabb can't  throw the ball into his WR's  bread basket often enough to win big games...

nearly 1/2 of mcnabbs  throws were off target  against the cards, thats why they lost...

mcnabb should only be throwing 50-60% of the time, instead REids offense has him throwing 70% of the time...

and if you think the steelers Defense is gonna do much better than the Eagles, I think you're in for a big surprise....

as to ASSante samuel's picks ...

look who they were against .... Tavaris Jackson & Eli Manning  ...both INTs were actually  setup by  Jim Johnsons play calling & both QB's that threw the 2 terrible passes right into Smauels hands were under BIGTIME pressure by the Eagles blitz ...

I told you before you got samuels, that he was a product of the system & as far as I can see, the same is true since he's been an eagle...

the 3 picks I watched samuels get this year were against Romo, Manning & Jackson....all 3 picks were terrible throws into double or triple coverage & were designed plays by Jom Johnson, not off the cuff reactionary plays produced by Samuels on man coverage...

samuels  covering Fitzgerald man to man showed you what he's capable of as an individual ...nothing...

no pass interference when there is incidental contact  involved while both players are looking back at the ball..

even mike peirera, head of NFL officials, said the very same thing this week on NFL network...

he said it was definitly the right non call, because the cards DB was looking at the ball , not the WR & their feet getting entangled caused him to lose balance & fall onto the WR's leg...

besides, when does Mcnabb & the eagles EVER win a game in the last 2 minutes w/ no timeouts & they need a TD ?? ....   no times this year & I can only think of a couple the last 4 years...

why throw 20 yards when you only need 10 when the Cards are blitzing ??

blame mcnabbs choice of receivers &/or the play call, not the referee's ... ...kevin curtis isn't exactly the guy I'm gonna rely on when the game is on the line... he should've been looking for Avant or his TE.... not a 5 foot nothing WR 20 yards downfield on an out pattern....

He grabbed his leg.   It was blatant pass interference.

his forearm landed on the back of curtis's calf...

I doubt curtis would've caught it anyway, because mcnabb rushed the pass a hair do to the cards blitz...

and  I guess it wouldn't have mattered if the eagles weren't behind by 7 points either...don't you think !! ...

the eagles were behind for 90% of that game, they didn't deserve to win...

He grabbed his leg, which was bullshit.    The flag should have been thrown.   If it were the Colts it sure as heck would have been.

Doesn't matter if they were behind 99% of the game.   This is a playoff game in football.   Refs can't blow calls like that.

and in playoff football, nitpicky flags aren't thrown anymore....you are correct ... not since Lynn Swann was given 50 yards against the Cowboys DB who got tangled up in his legs....

 & in the eagles/cards case, thats a good thing because it wasn't pass interference...

I don't know what kinda glass's you have on, because nowhere do I see the Cards DB grabbing lil' curtis's leg...

I didn't see it when I watched the game live, or in any replay...

why don't you watch rebroadcasts of all the superbowls of the past they're featuring on NFL network right now...

tell us how many face masks, late hits, holds, roughing  & PI's  you see go uncalled & then compare the play in the cards/eagles game you seem to think caused the eagles to lose ....

then I'm sure you will realize that non PI call was nothing....

then again, lets say it was a penalty ...and perhaps the Zebras didn't call it on purpose ??

well GOOD...   maybe the NFL is sick n tired of arlen specter trying to tell them what to do ??

either way, the eagles were just another  team w/ a pathetic record that didn't belong in the SB either...
