NFC Vikings vs Eagles

I think it's safe to say, Eagles are probaly going on.

You could have said that a week ago.

I don't think Randy Moss cares very much.

Randy doesn't like the idea of playoffs because then he has to play more games.

No shit. That guy needs to be traded. I couldn't see how any team would want him. He just seems to suck the life out of everyone.

Vikings at Eagles (1:00 PM, Fox): The Vikings are coming off a solid and important win in Green Bay. They were 2-20 in their previous 22 outdoor games, but won a big one at frigid Lambeau Field. They’ll be facing similar weather conditions again this weekend. The Eagles are obviously without WR Terrell Owens, and their offense hasn’t played a complete, meaningful game of football in six weeks. Hanging over their heads is the spectre of having lost the last three NFC Championship games. Their depleted receiving corps gets a boost from the absence of Minnesota SS Corey Chavous, out with a broken arm. The Vikings defense showed it was opportunistic against the Packers, though I don’t expect Donovan McNabb to throw up the silly passes Brett Favre did. I just don’t trust the Eagles’ offense enough without Owens to go with them in this one. This is the same offense that hasn’t gotten it done the last three years, and while the Vikings are not a strong defensive team, they can certainly outscore the Eagles. Prediction: Vikings 24, Eagles 20.

So if Philly loses next week - what would be worse - Bills losing 4 straight Super Bowls, or Eagles losing 4 straight championship games?

Dunno. It'd be a MAJOR heartbreaker.

Philly.

 

Cause Buffalo at least got there and no one really expected them to beat the Redskins or Cowboys anyway.

 

Meanwhile, no one can think of any reason why Philly shouldn't have been in the Super Bowl three times.

I think it'd be worse than The Bills mainly because at least they won the AFC and made it to the big dance. The Eagles have been on the outside just looking in for 3 years.

We won't lose another one. The Falcons won't handle us, I'm confident.

[therealworldschampion 0]

Especially next week would be a real stunner if they lose, because I really believe they can beat the Falcons. They've done really well against Dunn in the past and I think Vick is beatable in an environment that he'll be in next week.

 

BTW Dama who's that in your avatar now? Rhett Bomar?

[Guest Vitamin X]

You know, the most idiotic theme you'd hear throughout the week is "Well, the Eagles haven't played a meaningful game in almost a month!" as if to say that outside of those 60 minutes on Sunday, players were on vacation, lounging around, not working out, not going to practice, not worrying about gameplanning till that very week.

 

And nothing tops the Bills losing 4 straight Super Bowls. Nothing like consistently finishing as the #2 team in the league.

Yeah that's Rhett Bomar. I don't think he's starting next season though, that's Paul Thompsons job. I just say I dunno what to think b/c from what I understand he's really cocky and overconfident.

 

Anyways that's neither here nor there. That's a story for next season.

 

I'm still understanding why people say the Eagles choked last year. I mean sure they did the previous two years. But there main offensive weapon(McNabb) was injured at the beginning of the game and couldn't really play at all even though he tried.

[therealworldschampion 0]

Carolina was a much better team than people gave them credit for. Nevermind the fact that the recievers totally crapped out.

 

All I know is now I can relax and watch the Colts-Pats game now that the Birds have won.

[Damaramu 0]

Hopefully the recievers can play this well next week. I was kind of shocked that Pinkston did so well.

Part 1 of my Rusty Eagles Theory proved true, now we get to see next week whether I was correct or not.

[the pinjockey 0]

Dama, they got physically dominated, in their home stadium, in their third straight NFC title game. That is a choke job.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

I don't know if I would consider it a choke. Carolina was clearly the better team at that point. Usually a choke is when you lose to a team inferior to yours.

[the pinjockey 0]

Getting thrown around by Ricky Manning Jr.?!? A close loss where they tried but couldn't pull it out, then I would just say Carolina was better and that's that. But they got thrown around all game, which is inexcusable. Plus they played stupid, with receivers breaking off routes left and right, which led to a couple of the picks.

[therealworldschampion 0]

I'd say 2002 was more of a chokejob.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

I'd say 2002 was more of a chokejob.

2001 too. The Rams were ripe for the pickings that year. The Eagles lost that game more than the Rams won it.

[therealworldschampion 0]

I remember watching that game and wondering why Reid wasn't running the ball more in the second half when Martz was in the middle of his brain fart refusing to run the ball with Faulk. However, Buckhalter was hurt in the second half and he had been gashing the Rams defense before his injury.

 

I also wouldn't really call that a chokejob considering the Eagles were nearly 17 point underdogs in that game and still almost won considering Troy Vincent was hurt and they were in the dome, where the Rams were killing teams.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

I don't listen to the oddsmakers. The Rams were not anywhere near good enough that they should have been 17 point favourites and then huge favourites over New England.

 

They also had Oakland as strong favourites over Tampa Bay, and that was the most predictable Super Bowl since Denver/Atlanta. No way was Tampa losing that game the way that their defense was playing.

[the pinjockey 0]

The Rams game they weren't ready (plus Troy Vincent was not healthy, big problem against that offense) and the Bucs game they just got spanked by a better team.

[therealworldschampion 0]

Yeah I think the Eagles probably would've won that game had Vincent not been hurt in the week before. I think those 2 games(NFC Championship and Super Bowl) proved Martz to be extremely incompetent.

[iggymcfly 0]

OK, I can pretty much guarantee that the Eagles are losing next week. Not quite to the point that I'll request to be banned if they win, but I'm really, really confident about it.

Don't really have anything to say, just owning up to my team's loss

There's a shocker.

Yeah but they pretty much did it without their team leader and QB. McNabb was the offense at that point and they didn't have him there.

The game might've been different had he not gotten injured.

[the pinjockey 0]

They weren't exactly lighting it up before he got hurt.

Your team didn't fare any better, douchebag
