UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Philly without TO = The Best Defense in Football. Please explain to me how that changes. They also have the Quarterback who would be MVP if Peyton hadn't had one of the greatest seasons a QB has ever had. And they have a playmaking runningback. TO's only one guy. The Eagles are a team and better than every team in the league except Pittsburgh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 If Cincy, Kansas City & Houston win today, that'll be 12 teams in the AFC with at least an 8-8 record, good enough for the final NFC Wild Card spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Philly without TO = The Best Defense in Football. Please explain to me how that changes. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You're fucking kidding me right? Pittsburgh, New England, Buffalo and Washington defenses blow Philly's out of the water. Facing shitty conference offenses for almost half your games doesn't make your defense great. Your team let Cleveland move the ball all over you and score 31 points.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Philly doesn't have too good of a run defense. Look at the Pittsburgh game. Or any game practically (except Green Bay... that was just a drubbing on the part of the Eagles). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Eagles defense has changed significantly since the Pittsburgh game. So what? Run defense? The Eagles "have had a shitty run defense" for years. And they still have the best record in football over the past 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Eagles defense has changed significantly since the Pittsburgh game. That may be so, and I do think the Eagles COULD beat the Steelers the next time around, but they do have some work to do before being declared the best defense.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Slasher, they can only play who is on the schedule. Fact is, they've given up the least points (save for the Ram game, which they didn't care about). What teams are you guys rooting for the grab the final playoffs spots... AFC... Baltimore, Broncos, Jets, Jaz NFC.... Vikes, Rams, Saints, Panthers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 In a perfect world, I'd have Bills and Jaguars take it in the AFC and New Orleans and Panthers in the NFC. It's too bad Panthers and Saints are playing each other and one WILL go home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I want New Orleans and I don't care about the other teams, I hate Vikings and Rams equally. AFC-wise, I want Buffalo and...I guess...Jacksonville.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 My point wasn't that the Eagles are the super bowl champs for having the best record over 5 years. My point was that run defense means little if your overall defense plays huge in the red zone and your pass D is outstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Johnson is gonna be okay, as is Michael Lewis.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Yeah, both referees reviews were terrible. Johnson made the catch, as did (was it Greg Lewis) for the birds. Both were deemed non-catches. Birds are pulling more starters and have totally lost interest in this one. Simoneau hurt and getting x-rays....BOR-ING. Jets lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This radio call has been brought you you by the fine folks in Minnesota: :::Cardinals score touchdown with no time left::: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! The Vikings have just beem eliminated from the playoffs! I can't believe it!" Funny thing is, with a CAROLINA LOSS, Vikes are in, unfortunately. Wish Car and NO could both make it, too.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 What an absolutely pathetic first half at Gillette. They should keep the starters in for the start of the 3rd because they didn't DESERVE sitting out the rest of the game. Still gotta show up for the last game, guys.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Well, one way is the Rams winning the NFC West. Which would eliminate the Saints. The Saints (7-8) need a win coupled with either a St. Louis Rams loss or wins from the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings to make the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
