I like you man, your an Eagles fan, and you appreciate the greatness that will come with Kevin Kolb. He's going going to be a stud. He had an awesome Lewin career projection, but I'm making myself sound like a nerd. Basically, he started a shit load of games, giving scouts enough tape to know if he is a piece of shit or not, while still posting an awesome passer rating / completion percentage.
I can't wait to see this guy under center. Especially under the tutelage of Andy Reid. With that said though, I'm perfectly fine with DMac as our QB for the next 2 years while Kolb learns the ropes.
Duce, I can't hate on you man since your account name here is from one of my favorite professional athletes ever, but you gotta chill out man. Your giving us Eagles fans a bad rap. Just give Eli some props.
allow me to clarify. I notice a pitifiul number of Eagles fans are like you and not like the much better fans cm3 and sorryaboutdresden. You are the typical asshole Eagles fan that is bitter and resentful, and they arent. The Eagles deserve better fans than the likes of you.TheDuce22 said:

yeah, that sucked when plummer came in and threw the game-changing pick 6 to walt harris. oh wait, that wasn't plummer, that was cutler. it also sucked when alex smith completed the huge 3rd and long gainer to arnaz battle while foxworth was covering him. oh wait, that was champ bailey covering him.
and i put quotes around it because if the niners were shitty that year, what did that make the broncos? shittier? and, as you say, what does last year have to do with this upcoming year?
nfc and afc are basically equal. there are a couple elite teams in the league (patriots, colts) some really good teams (chargers, jaguars, cowboys), and then a bunch of middle-of-the-road teams who could compete for the playoffs in any given year depending on how the cookie crumbles with injuries and free agents panning out. that's the NFL today buddy boy!

Your absolutely right man, McNabb is definitely the best QB we've ever had, but the future is Kolb. Like it or not. Our organization isn't happy about paying players more than the worth, and in a year or two, McNabb won't be worth the money. It's just economics, and I'm perfectly fine with that, especially since I honestly believe Kolb will be very good.

That's true man, sorry, but I'm from Philly (suburbs at least), and we're the most provincial people in the world. Like I said yesterday, at least you had LSU... and you weren't heart broken by NFC championship losses to the Rams, Bucs, and the fucking Panthers. I'm seriously still haunted by vivid images of Ronde Barder and Ricky Manning Jr. picking off McNabb in those games.
oh but he does. Do you know why he does? Because he did it.TheDuce22 said:
Do you know how offense scores points? a QB (that would be Eli) passes or hands the ball off to offensive players who then make a TD (or FG). Its pretty basic, but I guess you werent taught the importance of a QB to the equation.

I agree with you that, at this point Eli is being overrated, but granted he just won a superbowl. I don't care if fucking Hellen Keller wins me a super bowl, I would be happy. Eli deserves the hype right now, but just know in your heart that when we play them next year Lito will pick him off and we'll once again be in the playoffs.
man, by the way, we're EAGLES fans (cb3 and Duce), let's fucking get along, we're like brothers.
One neat thing I realized was that on the Giants side Eli Manning is from New Orleans, La, and on the Pats side, Kevin Faulk grew up in my current hometown Lafayette, La. So I felt kind of bad for Kevin, but hes playing for a team lead by the sorriest piece of shit coach Ive ever seen and a very arrogant QB who half earned the right to be but came up short at the worstp ossible moment this year. I actually feel bad for several players on the Pats team for having to be grouped with the likes of those arrogant cheaters. Wes Welker for example. Hes amazing and he deserves better.sorryaboutdresden said:

I want to like Bellicheck and Brady, but I just can't. They are both pricks. I love Welker though, I wish he was an Eagle. I don't feel bad for Moss though. He's an asshole.
sorryaboutdresden said:
Eli isnt so much being hyped (at least not by me) as he is being celebrated for toppling a dynasty. I dont htink anyone is calling him equal to the greatest QBs ever and hes still WAY too young and inexperienced for that, but what he accomplished here really cant be overrated. He was clutch at the exact moment he needed to be clutch and he carried his team to a victory under enormous odds against him, and massive hype for the Patriots to win. What he did was the classic underdog victory, and for that hes everybodys favorite QB at this moment. When the next season comes around, he will probably revert to his normal self, and make mistakes same as always, but He will be a bit wiser, a bit more careful, and NOBODY can take away what he did that night.

Well, at least not by you, but some people I know suddenly consider him one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks. I think he is good, I have for a while, but I really don't think he is better than Brady, Payton, Carson, Brees, McNabb when healty, or Favre (at least last season's Favre). He's definitely better than Rivers though, and most NFL QB's, just not in the elite group, but fuck if that matters, he just won a super bowl.
EDIT: fuck I don't know if he's better than McNabb or not, I want to believe McNabb is better in my heart, but fuck Eli just beat the team that destroyed my super bowl dreams.

My favorite part was when he overthrew Welker at one point and started pointing and screaming. What was he saying, "Get taller, bitch!"
I think in alot of ways the Eagles are like the Saints. both teams have GREAT offensive weapons, but defense I think is what lets our teams down. the Eagles definitely have am uch better defense than the Saints do but they still come up short I think. And Eagles need some more WR's and I do think Mcnabb has passed his prime. He was good, but his time is passing.sorryaboutdresden said:
Saints got Drew Brees and its really turned their fortunes around. They still blew it in 2007 but you can see the talent that is there and that can be built upon. thats the sort of leadership and foundation the Eagles need to find and I know theyre going to. I think the team has alot of spirit and as I said before their fanbase has alot of assholes in it and its really dishearteneing because it puts the team in a bad light they dont deserve. But as you have seen, criticism only makes a team fight harder. The Eagles need to use that to their advantage.
Wellington said:
I had him ranked as the second best QB in the NFC at the mid-point this year. I was right about Eli, but I did miss the boat on Rivers. Class of '04 is pretty damn impressive. The smart money is to bet the house on the Chargers the season after next.

If Brady was hurt he wouldn't have dropped back 53 times. Or is The Golden Boy not allowed to call audibles?

Those saying that second to last pass hit Randy Moss in the hands are wrong. It hit Corey Webster in the hands.

Cowboys - 5 Superbowl victories in 8 appearances
Giants - 3 Superbowl victories in 4 appearances
Redskins(!!) - 3 Superbowl victories in 5 appearances
Eagles - 0 Superbowl victories in 2 appearances
Note: I was actually rooting for the Eagles during their little run...would've been neat to see the entire division claiming Superbowl winners. NFC East 4 life bitch.
Duce really is fucking annoying though. :lol
LiveWire said:
Preach that shit...and you didn't even get into the druggies on the squad like HGHarrison, or the way people tried to justify the cheating all season long ("oh it doesn't matter, they're a great team anyway!"). Fuck the Pats all the way up their rancid asses.
And to expand on the ass kicking Vegas received...
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-lines6feb06,1,1243963.story
:lol Vegas...anyone with half a brain knew the 12 point spread was ridiculous. The funniest part is it started at 14. :lol 6 points would've been a fair number...could've gotten action on both sides and thus walked away with half the chips regardless of the outcome, which is the whole point of setting a line. Instead they fucked up like Bellicheat. Looks good on 'em.

Yeah I was confused by why he was yelling. The thing was 10 feet over Welker's head. Maybe he ran the wrong route or something?

Uh... what huge 3rd and long gainer to Battle? Don't bother trying to tell me the Niners didn't just throw it Abdullah and Foxworth's way pretty much the entire 4th quarter and OT, you'd be wrong. The Broncos weren't shitty that year, they finished 9-7 with a rookie at QB. They just had a bad game because of penalties and injuries. Congrats, your team won a game 2 seasons ago. Doesn't really have any bearing on what we were talking about though. Doesn't make the Niners any less shitty today either. So I won't say anything else about it
NFC has one team that could beat the Pats and that's the Giants. But the AFC still has another elite team in the Colts and plenty of great teams to go around while the NFC has Green Bay and Dallas and then a bunch of meh. From top to botom they are far from equal imho.
Looks like Eagle fans wanna take back the asshole fans crown. And it's theduce22! What a shocker!
There are always a couple of fans in any given season that make you hate a team you otherwise didn't mind or liked and make the other fans look bad. I was gonna ask what the next team was gonna be, but I guess we have our answer.
Bucs -> Eagles -> Seahawks -> Eagles -> Bears/Cowboys -> Eagles ...I think I see a pattern. I was gonna guess Pats, but guess all the pats bandwaggoners turned into Giants fans overnight.

So did anyone ever come up with a good name for the Manning-to-Tyree play?
I did think this one was funny:
"Super Bowl Win! Apply directly to Tyree's forehead!"
"Super Bowl Win! Apply directly to Tyree's forehead!"
"Super Bowl Win! Apply directly to Tyree's forehead!"
A little wordy though.

Anyone in Toronto listening to the live PC with Ralph Wilson and the Bills talking about playing in Toronto for the next few years?
Wilson sounds senile...just rambling and rambling as someone is whispering in his ear probably telling him to shut the fuck up:
"I won't lie. I don't know much about Canada. My last memories of it is "Canadian Club". Good stuff but I haven't indulged in that for awhile".
Oh Ralph...:lol

People have been saying "E-T" but I don't know about that.
TMQ says we should just call it "The Play" but that's already taken for the Stanford-Cal thing.
"The Catch" has been taken, plus that's only half the play.
"The Scramble" isn't really accurate since he ran around and threw it, plus it's only half the play.
So someone's gotta think of something. Bill Simmons should get his readers on this (they did, after all, come up with "Cincinattica" :lol ) if he can fight his way through the bitter tears.
NFC East=NFL's best
From an SI.com article:
"Consider that during a 14-year stretch beginning in 1982, the NFC East produced an astounding eight Super Bowl winners, with the Skins also losing one to the Raiders in '84. In three of those seasons a team from the division fell in the NFC Championship Game."
And from Wikipedia:
"NFC East teams have a combined 19 Super Bowl appearances and eleven wins, the highest marks of any division in the NFL. All 4 teams have won at least 3 NFL championships. Given the division member's histories and intense rivalries, many sports analysts and fans regard the NFC East as the toughest division in the NFL. One possible peak of glory for the division came in the early 1990's, when the division claimed four consecutive Super Bowl champions, as the Cowboys won two and the Giants and Redskins took one each."
NFC East is rising back to the top again....Redskins SB XLIII Champs!

Well the 'Skins are 2 for 2 the year after Giants SB victories, so you never know.

Iggles never won one. Fucking dragging us down of course.
To be fair, they're generally always going to have one of the easiest ones. It helps getting a 6-game headstart.
I bet second easiest is the Seahawks. Can't wait to tee off on them next season. Hello maynerd and Hitokage.

Iggles had 3 NFL Championships before the Super Bowl. Which half-counts, I guess. But even still 11 SBs in one (4 team) division is pretty impressive.

You talkin about the last time we met? Didn't Hasselbeck throw 5 TDs in that game you know the one where we were up 42 - 3 through 3 quarters or maybe you are talking about the 2005 choke job?
Here's a few I've seen:
The David and Eliath Play
Anti-Perfection Connection
SCRAMBLE HEAD CATCH
The Great Escape
Escape..E..to Tyree
God hates the Patriots
The Slip and Grip
The Play
The "That moment when a couple million New Yorkers all jumped up off their sofas in unison, spraying beer from their noses and screaming 'Holy **** Holy **** Holy Motherf*cking **** at each other until they were hoarse" play???!!!
