How many times does Wentz / Foles throw to wide open guys during the game? They have simplified things, yet made them more difficult to cover. dominate on defense .... they’ll win next week and head to the super bowl I think it depends on if the Vikings from first half yesterday or second half (less last few seconds) shows up.

thebluefood Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Now that I live in Pennsylvania the last thing I need are the Eagles going to another Super Bowl. If the Vikings defense can keep Drew Brees in check (for the most part), I really hope they can do the same to Nick Foles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 One game. One game to take away a lifetime of pain. Should the Eagles beat New England? No. Can the Eagles beat New England? Yes. I will take it with absolutely no regrets. The Eagles have went from potentially being the greatest team in modern NFL history to potentially being the unquestioned best story in NFL history with the resurgence of Nick “Big Dick” Foles.

pointyfootball Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I had zero faith in them winning two playoff games, so now I'm being a good fan and believing. If they do it, I'm traveling up to stand on Broad street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 While I think the Patriots should win, I wouldn't be shocked to see the Eagles finally really make us Skins fans look like chumps. After all, since 1992, they've had some great years, even made it to a SB. What have we done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make sense. Because we ain't done **** since our last SB win (yes, 2005 and 07 and 12 were fun and exciting) compared to the Eagles as an organization. They're going to SB with a guy they DUMPED who is replacing their star QB in the middle of the season. Every time our QB went down, we lost the whole postseason) And 3-1 can swiftly become 3-3 in terms of SB wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the club we used to beat our rival fanbase with is taken away from us, I think it's pretty clear you have to go to something else. Meaning for all of our "empty trophy case" if the Eagles win, we won't have that anymore. Because we haven't had much for 26 years. It hasn't been Cleveland bad, don't get me wrong, but it's been disappointing at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The Browns and Redskins have both missed the playoffs 20 times since 1993. We're only not as bad as the Browns because they didn't even have a team for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins have been treading water the last several years finishing around .500, and have work to do to improve that, but no, they are not down there with the Browns. Right now, anyway.

SkinsFTW Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 0 11 wins seasons in the past 26 years. Since 1991. In comparison the Patriots have won 11 in 8 straight and 12 of the past 14 seasons. The've won 14 or more 5 times since 2003. We've won 10 3 times since 1991. Pretty pathetic. Even the Browns have won 11 once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy was talking about the Browns going 1-31 the past two seasons and I remember the Lions going 2-30 in 2008-09 at the tail end of a dreadful decade for them. In the eight seasons since, the Lions have actually won a combined 11 more games than the Skins and have one more playoff appearance......and just fired their coaches after he had winning seasons three out of his four years. If the Skins lose Cousins, part of me really would like to see him go to the Browns to see how they'll do with him and those draft choices.

Westbrook36 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 What does this game mean to me? I’ve been playing this game for over 30 years. I have never seen ultimate winning. 2004 was supposed to be the year. It wasn’t and what seems like yesterday has been close to 15 years. Years have passed, the Eagles had some ok years, one playoff run where they came within a game of the SB (I attended), yet recently went over 8 years without even a playoff victory. Life goes on and while other things have filled the continual pain of never achieving true sports happiness, my desire to witness the Eagles win it all has never waned — if anything, the hunger has increased. In a week I will be on a plane to Phoenix to watch the Superbowl with my best friend who could never bring himself back to the Philly area after the 2009 NFCCG we went to. I am convinced he is the only person on earth I’d want to share a victory with while also being ok to commiserate with if there is a loss. I don’t care if you think they will lose. There is better than a 50/50 chance they will. However, I currently have the next best thing to a SB win......hope. One win and everything changes. Literally my entire life. Should it be this important? No. Is it? Yes. i don’t know how many more climbs I have left in me. This year has taken its toll. To lose this week will be devastating and I’m unsure if I can get up and do it again next year..... To be continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause if that's the case you'll have missed the game. Anyway, watching the SuperBowl together with your first grindr date sounds like a good time. Enjoy it!

hail2skins Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Westy, what day you flying to Phoenix? If its before Sunday, you and your buddy might as well just make the four-hour drive from there to Vegas and engage in some Super Bowl madness there!
