Don't follow this thread that much, or whats been said (or the NFL as much as others...), but...

LOL @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Go Home Losers!!!!!!!!

Obviously, I didn't get to see the GB/AZ game. Can I assume the Cardinals sat all their players due to the blowout score?

I lost my $10 with a Wisconsin buddy that was at the game. Horrible performance, but I guess "maybe" didn't matter becauese last game of regular season. I texted double or nothing, still waiting on response.


Friggin' Eagles cost me both parlays I had, all others hit. I won't bet on them next week vs. same Cowboys team and same venue. They looked so bad today. Why didn't they play Vick once it was obvious at half time they were done for?

There was a lot at stake today, and I'm not sure they were done after the first half. Though they were shut out, they only really lost by three scores.

Unfortunately, I watch the games at an Eagles bar. i know the bartender and he hooks us up, so I won't go anywhere else.

Even the obnoxious Eagle fans were pissed off at their own team. They looked awful, and I REALLY wanted them to win, because if they either won or contributed to the OVER (two separate bets), I'd be up $75-$125. Instead, I'm down $20.

Mcnabb was over excited, throwing the ball too hard or too soon. I know that's no excuse, but it didn't seem like he was working with his team much.

Yeah, it was still within reach at halftime. The way this wacky NFL season has worked, I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles win next week.

Meh at least the Eagles fans, the true ones posted in this thread after the loss. Not like the Saints fans that cried for hours before they were seen. And for you Dallas fans. If you think that is going to happen again you better do a couple back flips and pull your heads out of your asses. I predict and Eagles victory next Sunday.

Well, I get pissed at my team when they play shoddily, too. But one thing I've noticed over the past few years are Eagles fans constantly booing McNabb despite his success (in the regular season and getting to NFC title games, anyway ). Saints fans got that way toward their various QBs over the years prior to Brees's arrival, but in my opinion, they've had more reason to complain. McNabb is a terrific QB who the Eagles have been damn lucky to have.

Not like the Saints fans that cried for hours before they were seen.

What do you mean here

What's with all the hate from the purple people eaters?

Far as i can tell it's only one person doing the talking. Don't lump us all in one group.

Pretty bold statement there. You might be setting yourself up. I'll give you credit for stepping up to the plate though like a true home team fan.

Its a game. If they lose Ill be pissed, take my lumps, and move onto next season.

ALL of you Saints fans were MIA for a while. True story.

Well, I'll try to stay closer during my laptop for the entirety of the NFL gameday next time.

Thank you.....Thank you very much and damn proud.

I don't understand your post. They were trailing the entire game, never scored, never came close to scoring, got shut out, and looked horrible. Lost by three scores is 18-20 points too much. There's no excusing their piss poor performance today.

Prior to today, I thought they might have been a contender, but after today, I don't think they have a shot. Unless they were doing this in purpose since already in playoffs.

Same could be said about cardinals, except cardinals were sitting their starters while eagles started out look like they were trying to win.

 

[OSCORP]

Anyways, like one analyst was saying today. Vikings are a different team at home in the dome. Couldn't be more true, thank god for the 2nd seed. The were also saying the recent troubles were cause of an identity issue, "were we a run team or a pass team?. Well, after today and games past were a now a pass team, no time to practice to get the run down," Let Favre throw it"

I agree screw it just let em do his thing. (it's how we have won) Rice, Harvin, Shiancoe and Berrian.

 

[karamazov80]

To Mesa, you said they should bench McNabb for Vick at halftime, I think that would be a very bad and weird move because McNabb is great and Vick is mediocre at best, and down by however many they were with half the game left (less than 23 presumably, though I didn't watch the whole game) isn't time to panic unless you are Sean Payton playing the Cowboys.

The Eagles plain and simply were out coached and out played. The coaching part I am referring to is their defense. Horrible, horrible game plan. They did not play Eagles defense. Their offence didn't even show up to play. Next week if they lose, fine. But they at least better play.

Next week the game will be a lot closer. If it weren't for a couple mistakes, this game would have been a lot different.(McNabb fumble, Maclin letting the ball go through his hands, and the missed bomb to Jackson)

A blitz or two in the first half would have been nice.

With their offense and the fact that they were receiving, they were easily still in the game.
