Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ The OFFICIAL Philadelphia Eagles Thread, Week 4 vs. The Bucs talk starts on pg 27

[baseballguy601]

According to Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN.

I'll take it considering I'm wondering if they will make the playoffs!

40: AFC Championship
Gene's AFC title game pick
 
New England vs. Indianapolis*.

All I ask is that we're not subjected once again to that Salvador Dali-like cell phone commercial with Manning, the one in which he's frantically running around some hotel or apartment hallway, sees Marvin Harrison surrounded by Philly cops, I mean, dolphins, and then some kid appears and says, "Clark." What the kid ought to say is, "Beat the Chargers at home this time, will you?"

(*If Manning's knee isn't right this season, then San Diego plays the Pats.)


41: NFC Championship
Gene's NFC title game pick
 
Philadelphia vs. Green Bay.

Rodgers isn't Favre -- and he doesn't have to be to get the Packers this far. He just can't get hurt or go all Eli Manning (by that I mean Manning circa Nov. 25, 2008 to Dec. 23, 2008, when Eli might have been one of the five worst quarterbacks on the planet). I have more faith in the Packers as a whole than I do in Rodgers, but I have more faith in Rodgers than I do in DeSean Jackson.

And, no, I've got nothing against the Cowboys, but I do think Dallas could struggle more than you -- or Jerry Jones -- expect. I know the chalk says go with Dallas, but I'm taking the educated flyer on the Eagles.


42: NFC Championship -- Part II

Who ends up with the Lombardi Trophy? Brady and the Patriots.
If the Buccaneers win the NFC -- and it's not out of the question -- they would become the first team to play a Super Bowl in their own stadium.

I'm just looking out for you, come bar bet time.


43: Super Bowl XLIII
Philadelphia vs. New England.

None of this matters if McNabb is McHurt, or if Brady's mysterious foot injury forces him out of the lineup for any extended period of time (say, longer than a minute), or if David Tyree is traded to the Eagles.

Not exactly interested in another Super Bowl vs. New England... but if the Giants could win... we can definitely win!

I think they'll be pretty good. I don't know about Super Bowl-good though.

[baseballguy601]

I'm sure people said the same thing about the Giants last year...

[degibson84]

only if McNabb can stay healthy

[baseballguy601]

only if McNabb can stay healthy

yeah that is something of concern.

It's ok. I'm a Kolb fan

[ffman]

If McNabb and Westbrook can both have good years, there is a chance.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Repeat.

When has Westbrook NOT had a good year?

I have learned not to listen to ESPNs predictions, they are always off it seems.

[chopinalex]

I heard they are going as guests of the Dallas Cowboys..the Cowboys brought them luxury suite seats so they could watch Romo tear up the AFC opponent

Really? I am on the other side of the fence. Seems like they are always right (though probablly off about the Eagles this go around).

Haha that's funny!

And there is no way the Cowgirls make. Not with Romo as their QB.

I honestly believe that the Eagles are going to be one of the best teams in the NFC and they should be able to win their division. People are picking the Cowboys to do well because the say that they have a lot of talent, but the Eagles have just as much if not more talent then the Cowboys. However, I will not predict them to go to the Super Bowl because I just want to play it week to week for now.

The Cowboys will be good. They won a bunch of games last year, and I believe they are better this year. With that said, so are the Eagles.

Last time I checked Romo did better than McNabb last year? And that Dallas had Philly beat in Almost every offensive and defensive position?
QB- Romo>McNabb
RB- Marion Barber<Westbrook
WR's Dal>Phi
OL Dal>Phi
Kicker Folk>Akers
FB Dal Phi ( even )
TE- Dal > Phi
Punter Dal > Phi ( McBrier was best in NFL )
Def Dal > Phi

Romo is the A-rod of the NFL. Any team he is on will never win it all. He's like a disease. I feel the same about McNabb actually ....but that's beside the point! I'll take Akers over Folk, though he is getting old and running out of years. I also like the Eagles defense, which has become younger over the past couple years.
The Eagles will have a much better season this year.

depends which ones you listen to.

last year one of the beat writers for Dallas predicted the Giants winning the Super Bowl this year the same guy predicted the Browns going but not winning i can't remember who he had winning.

i hope he is right but with the schedule the Browns have i don't see it happening

[baseballguy601]

So true! You can't say 'I don't trust ESPN'. You have to look at who is writing the article.

[dd316]

Philly teams suffer from inconsistency every year.

But anyway... go Eagles!

the writers are almost always wrong you must listen to the guys who played
