lol, this is just ridiculous - how do you have a team in the super bowl, that won 13 of 14 'real' games in the regular season, has 9 pro bowl players and was the preseason favorite to make the superbowl be overrated?? hate on the eagles all you want, but geez, that's friggin' retarded

Regardless of their regular season schedule, they still marched through the postseason without much of a problem. That's gotta say something right there.

Yeah I know I just hate the Eagles with a passion, and they are overrated here, so I think that is where I am coming from on this.

For example, my friend bet me today that the eagles will win, and he GAVE THE PATS 5 points. So yes, I took that bet.

Another example, I heard an eagles fan say "The giants are good, but they need to pick up a running back. tiki is ok, but he's not brain westbrook. Westbrook can run and catch, Tiki can't" When I mentioned Tiki was the leagues leader in total yards, he said I was crazy.

Sorry for the rambling, but it's been a loooooong hard day to live in PA if your not a diehard Eagles fan [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

well...they beat a bad minnesota team at home....and if the Atlanta game is anywhere but frozen philly, im not so sure its not a pick 'em game...so playing in jacksonville against a much more talented team than anyone they have played is a bit different

Don't get me wrong...I'm a big Pats fan, but I'm just trying to make everyone realize that Philly is not nearly as bad as you're saying.
Despite your schedule strength, or lack there of, you don't go 13-3 (including pretty much dumping their last 2 games to rest starters) on hopes and dreams.

This is a talented team top to bottom. They have a number of Pro-Bowlers on both sides of the ball and a good coaching staff.

Unfortunately, this will all be meaningless when Belichick is hoisting another Lombardi trophy over his head. And, in the process, passing Lombardi himself on the all-time postseason win percentage list. How fitting.

Man...you know, you can hate the Eagles but at least let's make sense with what you're saying. There's a reason that game WAS in frozen Philly this year - we won more games than the Falcons! We would have won that game anywhere, and everyone who watched the game knows that. What happened to the 'vaunted' Falcons rushing offense, you know, the one that led the NFL in rushing? Oh yea, how about ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN YARDS RUSHING as a team. The field was in perfect condition for the game, so there's no weather-related excuses there - in fact, the wind was supposed to benefit the better ground team right?

It sickens me how the Eagles get absolutely no respect....but again, being from Philly, I *LOVE* it...keep counting us out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Kind've ironic that the only respect Philly is getting on this board is from a Pats fan!

I call it the Bill Belichick approach...talk your opponent up as much as possible then crush them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

My 2 senses..If ur gonna take the pats take them now at -7..I highly doubt TO will play and they will announce that at the end of the week, the line will shoot up to 9+...so if u like the pats bet them now, if not hold out for more points with the eagles if that's ur play..

T.O is gonna play people...Even if its only a Willis Reed type game he'll be on the field next sunday.

[ttleistdci]

TO will not have a big enough impact on the game that it will change the line either way. If he plays, it's as the 3rd WR...probably a similar role to what Moss played those few weeks while he had a bad hammy. Just enough to get respect from the other teams's secondary, but not enough to have a big impact on the game.

EAGLES BABY!
