You would think Simon would be having a monster year due to it being a contract year, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I can still see someone *coughDanSnydercough* giving him a ton of money in the off-season. It suprises me that Hollis Thomas is still healthy this deep into the year too.

Ugh, I can still remember Pinkston and Thrash's performance in that game. Pinkston's done better this year, but I still play that "Pass To Pinky" game.

That was when Simoneau was the MLB, and the man is immediately out of a play once an O-lineman touches him. Trotter has done wonders with the run defense ever since he was inserted into the lineup.

I wouldn't call 2001 a chokejob, people were predicting St.Louis to win by at least 2 TDs in that game and the Eagles still almost won. 2002 was a choke, 2003 maybe, but Carolina matched up very well against them and I thought the Panthers could definitley win. I could see Green Bay winning in Philly in the playoffs, maybe even Seattle if the Evil Seahawks don't show up. But not Atlanta, because they've usually done extremely well against Warrick Dunn and I can't see a first-time head coach going far into the playoffs, no matter how much ESPN kisses Vick's ass.

Which is why I'd really like to see the Eagles get home-field advantage locked up soon so they can rest the starters and not have any big injuries like the last couple of years, Westbrook last year in the Redskins game as an example.

The problem with their front seven goes back to 2002 when their defense was built with the purpose of beating the Rams in the playoffs, which is why it's an undersized, speedy defense. For the Eagles to win games, the key is for them to get up early with their offense and force the other team to throw rather than run, freeing up Kearse in the pass rush and all of the blitz packages.

They just had a horrible game that week and Dick LeBeau had a great gameplan to use against the Eagles offense, along with everything just clicking for the Steelers. I mean when Roethlisberger scrambled and made that 12 yard gain for the first down on the opening drive, that's when I knew it was trouble. The Steelers got up big early, got the home crowd really into the game, and the Eagles never recovered.

After hearing Wilbon race-bait and complain today on PTI, I find myself rooting for Colorado to win the Big XII title game just to piss him off even more.

That's funny, considering they lost to the quite possibly the best team in the league on the road and your team lost at home to Tennessee, the Giants(who the Eagles beat twice this year) and the Chicago Fucking Bears.

Oh I cannot wait for the Wilbon race-baiting on PTI today.....

Don't the tiebreakers for HFA go like this? 1. Head-to-head 2. Conference record 3. Record against common opponents 4. Margin of victory

Eh I was bored. They do have Miami's 2nd rounder thanks to the Feeley trade so that'll be a high pick.

Free agent too I think, he's probably not coming back.

I will say until the day I die that had Troy Vincent been healthy and not had a groin injury in 2001, the Eagles would've beaten the Rams in the NFC title game. Losing Correll Buckhalter in that game hurt too since he was killing the Rams on the ground, and N.D. Kalu just missed blocking a punt in the 4th that would've definitley gotten the Eagles more points and had won it. 2002 was just a Stomach Punch Game x3,000. There is no reason Blaine Bishop should've been in on that 71-yard Jurevicius pass play or the Keyshawn TD catch if he was injured, he was getting killed out there. Almost 2 years later and that game still haunts me. Last year was less depressing since I thought Carolina had a good shot at winning anyway, I personally wanted the Rams because Mike Moron would've found a way to lose. I really want the Eagles to win it all this year simply because I've never seen a Philly championship in my lifetime(Sixers won their last title a month before I was born.) The Phillies will probably never win a championship thanks to their dumbass ownership, the Sixers can't compete with Detroit or the Western Conference, and who knows whether the Flyers are ever coming back or not.

Didn't that match that Flair had in North Korea have like 150,000 people in attendance?

I'll tell you some bad Nitros, the ones in 1999 where Sid was blatantly ripping off Austin ad Jericho.. You know, dubbing himself "The Millenium Man" and using "Gimme a hell yeah!!" Ah that Sid, he's always good for unintentional comedy.

You know, I'd love to play Atlanta in the playoffs, only because I'd love to see Vick get creamed by Dawkins again like 2 years ago in the divisional playoffs. This is very much a preview of the NFC Championship game on Sunday, I could definitley see Green Bay beating Atlanta in the Georgia Dome(I mean come on, Atlanta having to sell playoff tickets, comedy writes itself there.) I think one of these 2 teams are coming out of the NFC as: 1. Atlanta won't win the NFC with a first-time head coach, I think they're losing 2 more times this year before the playoffs, and the Eagles defense is tailored to stop QBs like Vick. 2. Seattle is way too much of a schizophrenic team to win the NFC, though I wouldn't want to face them because of Alexander. 3. Minnesota needs HFA to get to the Super Bowl unless they play Atlanta on the road, I can't see them winning in Philadelphia or Green Bay in January. 4. St.Louis......two words: Mike Martz. Indy won't get to the Super Bowl, I could see them possibly beating Pittsburgh but definitley not New England, the Patriots seems to be the new Florida Gators for Manning.

Another thing about Pinkston, he's been decent this year, another good side effect of Owens being in the offense.

It's only the guards that are banged up. Thomas, Runyan, and Fraley are all healthy. My guess is Mayberry should be good to go on Sunday and Hicks maybe, he's done a good job in place of Andrews.

Agreed about Pinkston and Mitchell having to step up, and Owens does line up in the slot at times, so whoever is covering the slot reciever has to be ready for that. I guess with Harris I've seen him get burned sometimes and his emotions have been known to get the best of him, which gets him in big trouble. The Green Bay line is quite good, so if they can handle the blitzes Johnson will send, then they should be fine. And don't compare the d-line from last year's Monday night game to this one, this defensive line is quite different from the one last year. You don't understand how bad Simoneau can suck. There's a reason they replaced him at MLB, AND Eddie George burned him 2 weeks ago if it wasn't for that strip.

If you're hoping that Al Fucking Harris is going to be able to blanket Owens without at least 3 pass interference flags throughout the game, then GB is in trouble. Believe me, I saw Harris play as an Eagle, there's a reason his name was Al "Throw The Flag" Harris. Sharper will be a tough one, which is why Pinkston and Chad Lewis need to play well. Means that they'll have to dominate Kearse, easier said than done. And the D-Line is a lot healthier than they were last year in the playoffs, so the Eagles will be able to rotate their defensive linemen more. You're forgetting about Brian Westbrook, who has really come on since coming back from the injury, scat back who is deadly when catching the ball out of the backfield(didn't play in the playoffs last year, he was injured). And I'm sure Packer fans remember our #3 reciever, First Down Freddie. Green Bay cannot let the Eagles get on them early, as the Eagles have shown that if they get on a team early, then the opposing team has to throw most downs and that frees up the pass rush. If the Eagles can do a serviceable job on Ahman, and can get Westbrook going early, then they've got a good shot at winning this game. What I'm worried about as an Eagle fan is if the O-line can hold up. Mayberry is banged up and I'm not sure if Artis Hicks will be ready this week. Steve Sciullo did a decent job last week, but they need to be healthy there. Also there is the small matter of how much Simoneau will decide to suck this week, as Bubba Franks scares me.

Run defense has been much better in the past few weeks ever since Simoneau was replaced with Trotter. Giants gained 135 yards on the ground, but most of that was in the 1st drive and in garbage time. The run D contained Tiki quite well other than that. I think Green Bay needs to worry about who can cover Owens in their secondary. Also Green Bay has to travel after a short week. I don't EVER want to hear anyone hyping the Rams up again. I think the Eagles might hang 50 on them in the dome in a few weeks.

Well all of that and their coach is a total moron.

Interesting note X, Favre has not done quite so hot against the Eagles. He's 0-3 in Philly lifetime I believe. This is also a game that the Packers are really going to miss McKenzie for, as I've seen enough of Al Harris to know he's not going to cover Owens well enough without a few pass interference calls.

Seems that the Mets will be offering Pedro a contract, so what type of overblown figure will the Mets offer? I'm guessing 3 years, $40 million
