It’s a very small minority, albeit a vocal one, that constantly gripes this and starts these rumors and once it hits the media… well… it must be true then! Most of the real fans understand what McNabb still offers and realize that Kolb isn’t ready/may not be our long term answer. It’s always a horrid perception that pops up every year. Well, honestly, coming into Sunday I thought it was about 85% McNabb was back next year. After the Cowboys rout and reaching the playoffs – 100%.

we can make a strong case of being division champs for the next 3 years whether we have him or not.

He burned to death and was reborn from the ashes as DeSean Jackson ;-)

I doubt the final score of this one is going to be Eagles 44, Vikings 6. A lot has to go right anytime you put up that many points, but our defense has been pretty fantastic lately so the 6 points is not necessarily a surprise.

I think it’s fair to say that this team is playing well right now, having won four out of five games to make the playoffs (I know you’re on a good run too). But our one loss in that span was an ugly, horrid affair in Washington. We reverted back to our pass-happy ways and our offensive was terrible. There definitely could be a letdown of similar proportions, and we have not been a very good road team this year (3-4-1), but I expect a very competitive game overall. In my opinion, the one thing you can’t discount is post-season experience. The Eagles have a lot of it, but the Vikings don’t.

and everything went wrong for Dallas. Obviously if we were that good we wouldve been 16-0 and awaiting a ring. However, our defense is THAT GOOD. We have one of the hottest defenses in the league right now.

Andy Reid does not manage his timeouts very well (and I read, interestingly enough, that neither is Brad Childress -is that correct? I wonder who he learned that from…). I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen a timeout blown early in the second half, generally on our first offensive possession. And it’s for some stupid reason, somebody lined up improperly, etc.

I’d also say we’re not great in the two-minute offense. I don’t think it has to do with McNabb per se, but rather that Andy and the coaching stuff take forever to call a play. It’s been a problem for years.

Do the rest of the Eagles fans agree with me on this one? Or am I being too harsh?

damn, i was just scrolling down to make a comment and you got me. im trying dude, but people are getting to it quicker then i can. damn it ajay, stop for a sec and give me some time

I’m not the only one who noticed this. Good observation 83 at calling them out.

Why can’t you play nice?

Its more of touchs. Andy can’t make up his mind on whether to feed the ball to westbrook 25-30 times or 10-15. Give Westy enough touchs, he will soon get into a rhytem and break out a long one (as seen in the Giants game), but dont give him enough, and there will not be production (as seen in the following Redskins game). Andy simply needs to get Brian more involved running the ball to see more production. He was hurt early-midway thru the season, but he is 100% now.

The only games I don’t generally do them for are divisional games, because it’s hard to look at a divisional opponent with any sort of objectivity.

But yeah, it’s nice to get the perspective from the other side.

Packers don’t snowball Santa, Packers love Brett Farve, whether he throws picks or TDs. Eagles fan are ruthless in the Linc (sometimes overruthless). I can’t speak for Packer fans. I can sum it up like this. Michael Strahan once told ESPN that he hated traveling to Philly. Why? It was the only place where he say a 8 year old kid shoot him a birdy and have his father pat him on the back. That DE that retired from the Raiders (just had a blank moment and forgot his name) would never drink anything from Philly hotels. Why? He was always afraid that someone would posion his drink.

I think our fans are very passionate and mixing that with alcohol can become “dangerous.” Its certainly not ALL fans, and even the select fans that take part in the moronic behavior dont act like that on a daily basis. The same guy that yells at you on Sunday at the game (shit-faced drunk), can very likely be the same guy that holds an elavator for you on Monday, even if you’re wearing a Giants hat. I dont know too many stories about the “ass hole Eagles fans” that starts in the mall or a grocery store. Most start with, “At this bar i was at…” or “At this weeks game……”
