DaddyTorgo · 01-23-2005, 05:09 PM

gametime. i'd love to sit here and post, but then I won't be able to watch. And I'd rather watch. So I'll catch up with y'all after the game.

edit: why are the announcers saying Owens will be back for the SB? I thought tk said that was basically impossible???

tucker rocky · 01-23-2005, 05:09 PM

I like Freddy Mitchell's hairstyle, what a combo.

Also, I think anyone who is thinking that the Patriots will destroy Philly is deluding themselves. The Patriots and Steelers are both very good teams, but I don't think either of them are that much better than the Eagles that they are guaranteed to win.

cthomer5000 · 01-23-2005, 05:13 PM

what's the deal with the title belt inthe upper right?

Yeah, when your coach gets hypothermia, then let's see how overcome with joy you are.

Congrats. The better team won this one.

As far as the "house money" comment, I got the impression that it was a response to Donovan's absurd comment that the pressure was on the Falcons this week, rather than the Eagles. Based on what I've seen of Mora, I seriously doubt that was an expression of his overall approach to the game. Did you see him throw down his headset and stomp on it? That guy's a fireball.

JAG · 01-23-2005, 05:14 PM

Kudos to the Eagles for their regular season and playoff play. It's not since the '91 Redskins team that I've seen one NFC team just completely dominate all others in the conference.

Dutch · 01-23-2005, 05:16 PM

Title Belt = Rocky

As James Brown pointed out, "Yo Adrian! We made it!"

Between Vick's braids, Duckett and McNabb's beards, and whatever the heck that is on Mitchell's head, there was some UGLY hair on display today.

I'm sorry.. thats still not a statement that any head coach can make.. it sounds complacent, and not something you wanna try and explain to your players after a practice..

i'm sure mora jr had a 2 way conversation with his dad.. his dad was like "son, throw something, you look too happy to be losing"

Eaglesfan27 · 01-23-2005, 05:20 PM

I like McNabb's answer to the question of if the pressure is off him. He responded that it wasn't and nothing less than the Super Bowl win would be good enough to paraphrase him.

Well, first of all, get his name right. Second, that ain't the first time he's stomped his headset this year. The guy is that firey.

Cringer · 01-23-2005, 05:22 PM

Brian Dawkins needs to relax for a moment and enjoy this.....I am worried he is gonna blow a fuse or something....

It's funny. My first thought when I saw them pour the Gatorade on Reid was, "He is going to become hypothermic." Still a great site to see

In this case, I agree, unless he really thought we were the better team, which it didn't look like to me.

Catch the dadgum ball, Jenkins.

couldn't agree with you more, they simply contained Vick all day, and made him throw the football.

Celeval · 01-23-2005, 05:27 PM

Is it this usual for 10-year olds to sing the Anthem? A Pennsylvania thing?

Seriously, that just caught me as odd. :-D

SirFozzie · 01-23-2005, 05:27 PM

Well.. what time is it?

GAME TIME.

The only thing I have to say is.. whoever comes out of this one, win it all.

It's time.. to do it to it.

After seeing that interview, I personally like Dawkins' style. What a leader.

Swaggs · 01-23-2005, 05:30 PM

I can't wait any longer!!!

I'm going to have to run laps around the house if they don't start up soon!

Make it a PA sweep!

Lemme see here ...
Today, Vick had 133 passing, 26 rushing on 4 carries

In the first 14 games (prior to clinching the division) ...
That's his lowest rushing yarding since the season opener
That's his 2nd fewest carries (only 2 against Oakland)
That's his lowest total offense of the season (since the opener)

It looked much more like a product of the Eagles defense than the weather, but the result is the same -- if Vick doesn't do Vick-like things, the chances of a mediocre offense (and an abysmal O-Line) producing a win are very very slim.

In other words, if he can't run he just is not a good enough QB to lead an offense....

That's funny, I got up from a siesta and saw that they were interviewing McNabb. Good sign! But my wife who was watching the game said that the Falcons coach was acting like an asshole so she has now put them on her 'hate' list.

Hence, the comparisons to Kordell Stewart (except that Stewart needed stationary receivers).

I'm glad we don't have to talk anymore about this until July. Too much for one season.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-23-2005, 05:41 PM

Not a good start for Ben or the Steelers

kingfc22 · 01-23-2005, 05:42 PM

Oops.

Cringer · 01-23-2005, 05:43 PM

Well, the defense stopped the Pats, I guess thats good.

kingfc22 · 01-23-2005, 05:44 PM

"Can an opposing kicker make a long FG?" What kind of quesiton is that with Vinatieri kicking.

cthomer5000 · 01-23-2005, 05:52 PM

they stuffed the hell out of that run.

kingfc22 · 01-23-2005, 05:53 PM

Denied. I would have punted and pinned them back.

Dr. Sak · 01-23-2005, 05:54 PM

I think everyone in the stands and watching on TV knew that Bettis was getting the ball up the middle. You cant be that predictable.

cthomer5000 · 01-23-2005, 05:55 PM

why in the world did they run into the hole the guard just pulled out of?

JAG · 01-23-2005, 05:55 PM

Cringer · 01-23-2005, 05:56 PM

That pass was just crazy, great throw!

kingfc22 · 01-23-2005, 05:56 PM

Woot!!! Bring on the Eagles.

Ok, maybe a bit premature, but I just get the feeling that the Pats are out to destroy the Steelers for ending their winning streak earlier this season.

Icy · 01-23-2005, 05:57 PM

WOW was that Tom Brady or P.Manning?

temley06 · 01-23-2005, 05:58 PM

The Pats are to tough for the Steelers.

Ragone · 01-23-2005, 05:58 PM

That was alot better catch then a Throw..

Go Deion Branch!

cthomer5000 · 01-23-2005, 05:58 PM

It's not over yet, but it sure ain't looking good.

SirFozzie · 01-23-2005, 05:58 PM

it's still early. All it is a good start. Gotta play 60 minutes..
