>>Spearhead>> Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Should we just hope that McPhili takes it all this year so that they will immediately start the downward spiral that all the latest SB champs take these days? The East is going to be tough enough over the next few years, wouldn't it be nice to not have them stay good? Isn't everybody tired of watching them McChoke in the NFC Championship game EVERY year?? Our division record is sooo bad the last few years, and the Cardinals are in Phoenix now, Coach! No more automatic 2 division Ws in our column every year. I know somebody's got a Randall Cunningham or Andre Waters jersey in the back of the closet- go ahead and break it out...:shot: :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Gibbs changes everything. I say make sure everyone is at full stregnth next year so when we take them on, there is no mistake who the best is. Thats my kinda football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I think it will be more difficult for the Redskins to sneak up and win 10 or 11 games in 2004 because the East will be stronger. Dallas benefited in 2003 from the lack of competitiveness of the Giants and Redskins as well as the early funk the Eagles found themselves in. I don't see a repeat of that. Philly may come down a notch but Dallas will be active in free agency and will improve. The Giants will improve. The Redskins CAN take a leap in 2004, I am just not sure how much of a leap is realistic to expect. Is it possible a Patriots-like 2001 miracle season after 5-11 in 2000 is in the offing? On the other hand would 9-7 and the chance for a wildcard be a more realistic goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPare Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I think that I mentioned my wish in another post: that they get to the SB, and then get blown out. Then just sit back and wait for the lunkhead Eagles fans to push Reid out of a job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowghost Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The only way I ever want to see the Eagles win is if it helps the Skins, since this won't, I hope Carolina pounds them. :eaglesuck :eaglesuck :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsknsfan Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Yeah....what Lowghost said! I can't stand the Eagles myself and would rather root for an X-Redskin to knock the feathers off them birds! :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmythehair Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I agree with lowghost, unless it helps the Skins their is no way I can pull for the eagles. Even when it helps the Skins for the eagles to win I will pull for them but it hurts to. It's like popping a joint back into place it hurts but has to be done. I am hoping to see them choke again.

NASMTrainer Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I don't EVER want to see the Eagles win a Super Bowl, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see them go and then get blastd by Indy or the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displaced Fan Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 If Green Bay can get to McNabb, as much as they did, than it could be a long day for the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Can't pull for the Eagles unless it directly helps the Skins or unless they are playing Dallas. No exceptions. I'm up in Philly right now ... was here during the game on Sunday. It was a blast! Couldn't believe the 4th and 26. People went nuts, but that's understandable. By the end of the game it was no secret to those around me that I was a Skin fan and was NOT pulling for the Eagles, but by then I had been hanging out with them for a few hours so I had a pass.

The Agent Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The Eagles aren't one of those teams that I love to hate, that spot is reserved for Dallas, Jets, Giants and Dolphins. The Eagles I'd classify as one of those teams that I find boring to watch on t.v. Indeed, unless someone like the Packers, Chiefs or another big play team is playing them, you catch me watching a Detroit - Eagles game......and this upcoming weekend my eyes will be on Pats-Colts, one of those teams will be the SB champs, not that Panthers that one by a fluke field goal or the Eagles who barely scraped by.

clubisyohankovic Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Although I could never bring myself to "root" for the Eagles, Giants, or Cowboys, it's generally more fun when the NFC East is a strong division. Quite a moral dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's what I am hoping for. If Shermen had some balls and went for the 4th and inches instead of punting the ball in the last game, we would be talking about Green Bay instead of the iggles. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I don't see how winning the Super Bowl this year makes the Eagles worse next year... NO! GO Jake Dellhomme, GO Steve Smith, GO Julius Peppers, GO Panthers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleSteve Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Originally posted by MAPTASTIC I don't see how winning the Super Bowl this year makes the Eagles worse next year... Look what it did to the Bucs. Couldn't have happened to a better bunch. Winning does breed complacency if it isn't handled well. Losing two championship games in a row has kept the Eagles hungry. If they can hold Carolina to 17 points or less, they'll win. The Panthers' front four are excellent, but McNabb had a nice afternoon against their secondary. And if James Thrash is able to hurt you, you aren't that good. Finally, the Eagles may have their complete secondary back. They've only played a few games together this season. Favre's two TD's were over Sheldon Brown. If Vincent was in there and healthy, those plays may never have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panthro Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Funny how the Eagles have come to be as much as a rivalry with the Skins as the Cowgirls. Didn't use to be as bad when I was a kid. Was it the whole Buddy Ryan thing that changed fans' hearts or is it just the accumulative factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggerid Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The way I have always approached it is 1) A worse draft pick the farther they get in the playoffs 2) A tougher schedule(supposedly - I always think we get the toughest schedule) 3) They're not Dallas so have at it!
