I don't think there is an NFC team with a realistic chance. Anyone disagree?

Absolutely disagree. Once the Eagles get TO back for the Super Bowl, they stand a fantastic chance to beat any of the AFC contenders in the 'one-game playoff' format that the Super Bowl is.

Realistically, I think any of the 4 remaining NFC teams has a shot of winning the Super Bowl.

Praise the AFC however much you want, but there's always a team like the Carolina Panthers last year that has a chance of taking it down this year.

First, not sure Philly can get there without TO. Even then I doubt they will get TO back for Super Bowl, and if they do he will not be at full strength.

AND, the Eagles 27-3 loss to Pitt with a healthy TO really doesn't make me think they can compete even if TO does come back at full strength.

Have another drink buddy... that wishful thinking in TO being back is a joke.

Even if there is a SLIGHT chance he dresses for the game, he won't be effective. He'll be like Randy Moss in the beginning of the season when Moss was trying to play hurt and ran at 1/2 speed which did his team no good.

I still think Philly has a chance without TO, but I think you're in for a big disappointment if you're putting all your eggs in the TO playing in the Super Bowl basket.

TO *WILL* be back for the Super Bowl - him and the doctors have both said he is WAY ahead of schedule with his injury.

I wouldn't expect you to keep tabs on his rehab, not living in or being a fan of Philadelphia. The Eagles lost to the Steelers 27-3 in the regular season..it was a terrible game. The whole Eagles team was not effective, and there's no excuse that can be made by a realistic Eagles fan for why we lost. We showed up and got tarred and feathered. (pun intended) Hopefully we get a chance at redemption in the Super Bowl - speaking in terms of the paths laid out in front of both teams, the Steelers may not even make it there, their road to the Super Bowl includes playing at least one of the AFC 'powerhouses'.

But good luck, I'd love to see the all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl.

P.S. I'll bet you anything you'd like that TO will be back and playing in the Super Bowl in Jacksonville this year. Name the bet.

Well that would be a stupid bet. Just because TO plays in the SB doesn't mean he'll be effective. The doctors and TO can say whatever they want in the media... the truth is unless some freak of nature thing happens TO will not be healthy for the SB. Although a 10% TO is better than a 100% Stinkston.

bugstud · #9 01-09-2005, 09:28 PM

and a 1% TO is better than Mitchell + Pinkston, imo

meh

You are severely misguided in your opinions - put up or shut up.
