Is it me or does Reid sounds like he has asthma during his press conferences. I thought he was going to pass out. He is such a fat...

Seriously overweight people breathe like that.

Why does everyone always kiss the Eagles ***?

If they play a bad game and then follow that up with a good game, everyone forgets about the bad game. But when the Boys do the same, people harp on the bad performance and overlook the good one?!?!?

I'll never understand...The Eagles are suddenly more impressive even though they've lost to a) the Cowboys once already and b) the Raiders.............I have no idea why that team always seems to get the benefit of the doubt

The key to beating the Eagles is to stop their big plays to Jackson and Macklin.

If you force the Eagles into 10-12 play drives, they will more likely than not stop themselves. They may get a couple of scores, but most of the time you will get them to punt.

Get them in a lot of 3rd and 1's and you're almost guaranteed to win. :laugh2:

Because of their playoff success. They may not have won a Super Bowl, but they have made it to 5 NFC Championship games. Right or wrong, that earns them a lot of goodwill among the pundits.

And our lack of playoff success and December failures earn us no such goodwill among the same pundits. We have to earn it, starting Sunday.

There's a possibility they could be playing against backup QBs when they face the Falcons and Giants (assuming Gomer's foot gets worse and they shut him down).

Speak for yourself. I'd much rather have that game meaningless.

Even if they have nothing to play for, Jerry (or Wade) might make them play full tilt, so as to avoid going into the post-season on a down note. Sort of like that Giant-Patriot finale in 2007, although ruining the Pats' perfect season probably had more to do with Coughlin's decision.

Um, so did we. He's also worlds better than the backups in NY and maybe Atl.

Campbell and that offense did not put 24 point on us. We did just get by but it had nothing to do with the play of campbell

It'd be awesome to have the final Eagles game be for the winner in the NFC East. Even better if the loser stays home again.

Are you that eager to see Dallas go home early again? :laugh2:

Eagles lose to Denver Philly fans cheer Dawkins. Also watch the Atlanta game, Eagles lose that one too. As far as the Cowboys if Saints beat N.E. tonight the Saints will lose a game and that could be to the Cowboys. I dont like this Giants game for the Cowboys. I get a little nervous when everything looks too good for a win. Cowboys have 5 games left and will go 3 and 2. Eagle will go 2 and 3.

I would love for Denver and Atlanta to beat the Eagles.

Just so their organization can think long and hard about just how ****ing stupid they are.
