Yeah baby! We need another one of these...

reneGade20 said:

6-2 for the first two rounds....

so for next week I'm going with....

Steelers over Ravens...ONLY because the game is in Pittsburgh...
Eagles over Cardinals...as a Saints fan, I just can't wrap my mind around the Cardinals...even if I've lived in AZ for the past 3+ years.... can't do it...

I'm guessing the Steelers are the favs for the bowl. I'm hoping for Donovan and the Eagles though.

2 wins down and only 2 to go! E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!

What I don't like are the Rush Limbaugh types with their code words(not smart, not cerebral, etc.). It would serve Philly right if Donovan were to leave. Bears fans would love him.

Jimmy Johnson dialed up a great game plan against my G-Men. Nothing worked out there - so many missed plays, turnovers and penalties. Eli looked lost without his safety blanket(Plax).

I think that when Philly fans see how many teams line up to get him...and how much they offer him and he takes one of those deals....that's when its gonna hit home how much he has meant to the franchise and the city....

reneGade20 said:

It won't matter for whatever reason Philly refuses to embrace Donovan. He would be treated like a king anywhere else. That po chile is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL.

SCNDLS said:

To me, Philly fans need to get over the fact that the team didn't draft Ricky Williams...I mean, really...I think Donovan worked out pretty good for them, yes? Unlike my Saints, who not only gave up their WHOLE draft to get Ricky, but then after 4 years on the team, let him go and have nothing to show for the whole ordeal.....

uPtoWnNY said:

That was EASILY ESPN's WORST DECISION EVER. What in the fuck were they thinkin'? And you could tell Tom Jackson was about beat his ass every week that they were on there. If you have old tape of Rush on the NFL Primetime, just peep how pissed and perturbed T-Jack looks EVERYTIME RACIST LIMBAUGH SPEAKS. It's HILARIOUS!

Again, there are lots of us who love Donovan. I for one was ecstatic the Eagles drafted Donovan instead of Ricky (and I have my old website backed up to prove it). Hell, they already had Duce Staley at the time. One of my friends was a QB in that draft and I still thought Donovan was the best of the bunch. It remains laughable to me (in a "Thank You God" sort of way) that he was drafted after Tim Couch.

It's looking more and more like the Eagles fans who don't love him yet will come around in 3 weeks. Look at Tony Dungy a few years ago or Tom Coughlin early last season. Winning the big one changes everything.

Rock on steelers!
Bring on the ratbirds. I'm tired of Ray lewis, Terrell"buggseye"Suggs,
and Bart Scott talking shit like everyone is supposed to be afraid of
them. The ravens are good but i think they should know by now the steelers
don't back down from them. It will be a hard fought game but i feel if
the steelers execute and no turnovers especially from big ben the steelers
can win that game.

Just want to add I think it will be Baltimore playing Philly in 3 weeks.

Baltimore is turning over the ball less and getting more turnovers on the other side. The offense of Baltimore puts up more points with less yards. I just think that it comes down to one thing; the coin flip. In that Pittsburgh weather, you want to be playing with the wind in the 4th quarter.

As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I would like nothing more to see McNabb end up somewhere else. Having to play him twice a year, damn. You saw the record AlexE put up.

McNabb knows only how to win. You know after a bad year like last year, he was gonna bounce back. You knew after that benching earlier this year, he was gonna bounce back. The only thing was, I thought this year it was too little too late. Nope, it wasn't.

That is extremely laughable!! Can you imagine the outcry if the Birds had in fact drafted Ricky or Timmy and Donovan had gone somewhere else and won a Super Bowl or three by now? Somewhere, in an alternate universe, there are bizzaro Philly fans jumping off of roofs.....

No thanks for the memories, July!

I got so mad that I stopped watching. Of all days Jake decides to fuck up the most.....he did it on his birthday. This Superbowl isn't shaping up the way I want it to. I guess now I'm just hoping to see McNabb win a SB ring.....other than that I don't really care who else is in there. My team isn't.

jseven said:

I concur.

jseven said:

This is exactly Tony Romo's problem. Dude ain't won shit and doesn't get upset, riled up, pissed off, or mad as hell when they lose. That's a problem when you're supposed to be a leader and need to motivate your teammates. His attitude is like I hate to say it but Jerry needs to get another QB and if Philly won't ack right he should get Donovan.

The majority of Eagels fans here in Philly are grateful for McNabb, sure there are a few fools here who aren't but I don't consider them true fans. Any Philly fan worth a shit knows how important McNabb is to our success, that myth about us hating him here in Philly is more bullshit national media talk i.e. "Phlly Fans Boo Anything".....

Abdul said:

You're probably right that its more perception than reality, but the one thing that would correct that perception is for more Philly fans to come out in support of him, especially when the ESPNs and FoxSports are raving about how Donovan is about to get run out of town...

Abdul said:

Maybe the fans don't have enough of a voice but the perception outside of Philly is that he's not well liked. It may be due to the media but still that's how it looks.

Abdul said:

If they don't want him.....I'll take him in Chicago. ASAP.

At least you won here

phunkdaddy said:

I thought sports critics talking about San Diego being 2-0 in Pittsburgh during the play offs was a stupid stat to use. First off all 2 is not a big number, now if it was 5-0 then thats something else. Second look at those two wins, first time in 83 with Dan Fouts (Dan Fouts, 70's/80's QB), and the second win was 13 years ago (Big deal). Dam stupid stat to bring up.

oh, c'mon..they had to talk about something......
