Peregrine Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yeah when I saw that I just wondered how he could honestly say that? Doesnt he get time to prepare comments for that? All I could think of was "Im pretty sure the Eagles cant make the playoffs". Kind of defeats the whole purpose of that segment, intended to point out which playoff team is considered most dangerous right now, when he says something like that.

six4g Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I think Mort and Andy Reid are distant cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I hate to play the Eagles. They are a thorn in our side. That said, hell NO...they are not the scariest team to face in the playoffs. Give me a break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidernat Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Some you are pathetic. Would you feel better if they had said the Redskins? What ESPN talking heads have to say has no bearing on what happens on the field. Give it up already and pull for your team without letting them irk you because they aren't fans of our team.

Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Mort IMO is one of the best. This is humble opinion, which i certainly dont agree with. But, hes personally one of the best i got a chance to talk football with him once, and it might of been the best 30 mins of my life. I absolutely agree....before people start thinking he is "hating" on us, I asked him before the Bears game what he thought of us and TC and he felt we would make a run into the playoffs.

I thought that was clear when I created this thread. The Eagles were eliminated last week so it was a stupid statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isle-hawg Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 They asked this IDIOT on SportsCenter what team in the NFC does he think most teams don't want to face in the playoffs and he says the EAGLES???He claimed that from talking to most teams in the NFC they were saying that they are GRATEFUL the Eagles are not in the playoffs. Damm that was a goofy comment Well the Eagles did take out the one team standing between us and the postseason that was beyond our control. And he was the only ESPN dude to pick us this week. So maybe he is on to something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsince72 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Personally, i hope we stay under the radar. If it was all "Washington, Washington, Washington!" in the news, teams(including Dallas, Seattle, Tampa, Green Bay, and NY) would spend much more time studying our film. Not that they will not do their homework but we don't need people screaming about Portis coming on late or highlighting our right side of the o line. Let the commentators talk about Romo sits to pee and Favre for the next 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooblakas Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yeah, I know the ESPN NFL Gameday Crew (Berman, Keyshawn, TJ, Ditka, & Emmitt) picked the Vikings to beat the Skins. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! (Laughs) They really hate us. Swami (Berman) Sez Vikings 21-20 during 2 minute drill last Saturday? DREAM ON! I DON'T THINK SO. How bout Skins 32-21! TAKE THAT, SWAMI!

Rooblakas Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 To NFLAnalyzer, Yeah, I edited out my quotes again. Sorry about that.

shallyshal Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 The Eagles are a team that can beat anyone in the league that is for sure they had the patriots on the ropes until feeley threw that dumb interception. maybe with mcnabb the outcome is different ? but for sure, westbrook is right up there with LT as the most feared offensive player other than a qb..

NFLAnalyzer Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Seriously, do you guys watch ESPN just so you can complain about it????

NFLAnalyzer Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 What's this thread about? Why should he be fired? Chris Mortenson was asked on Sportscenter tonight at 6pm what NFC team does he think is the most scary to face in the playoffs this season and he said the EAGLES. Which would was ODD because the Eagles are not going to be in the playoffs. Shouldn't he have known that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 He's still one of, if not the best, analyst on ESPN. He's known for actually having an opinion and not circle jerking to whoever is the current media darling. I disagree with him, but I respect his opinion.

TODD Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 ESPN is sooner or later going to have to deal with the fact that we're going to be in the playoffs and they are going to have to pay attention to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
