We didn't hear too much from him after week one until his team won a game and we lost one.

True but Big D is closing the gap quickly and they can start having some sleepless nights when they play us....

An Ealges fan hear at work was trying to say that since we barely beat the Niners after a Monday night game with a short week of preparation at their stadium and the Eagles beat them handily at home, that meant the Eagles were way better. I think it will be interesting to see how we play the the Raiders at Oakland after the Eagles barely beat them at home.

No apology necessary Mr CF72. You see , technically I made no direct association with your grammar. In fact I curtiously placed the words inside of a sentence to preclude any : .

Well Pheonix, you can live in that Shakespearean world if you want. i choose to live on this planet, in this NFL, where players and team win with whatever edge they can get. That my friend is the real world. Do you see unicorns in your world? I here they're quite a site.]

Sir, if you can see me in a Shakepearean worldon another planet, being unrealistic and seeing unicorns, then you go ahead and lose that "so-called" faith -- I don't need that kind of faith in me.

By the way, I like unicorns!

I got no problem with beating a team that has its stars injured and not playing. A W is A W is A W.

I can see this will go nowhere with you. But, you dont have to see it my way, or the otherway around. I will respect how you feel. We have 2 weeks to find out how this will all play out. I know you are respected by some, and have been here a long time. Posting at will. Sometimes your posts are a bit insightful. Other times quite HOMERISH. To be honest, I always feel a hint of a condescending nature. So, I will quite responding to your posts as well as any other non-Cowboy fan. Not that you really care, but it will do my heart good,

If were not up to it so be it I think we are but if not, it will show us where we need to get better. The Niners/Commanders games highlighted some safety issues that we need to fix. I live in Tucson and the U of A is going against all these top 25 college teams and you can see them getting better because of the increased competition, and their playing some pretty close games.

nothing will set off the t.o. drama faster than either iggles backup throwing him the ball.

Fair enough. See you then.

I do not think McNabb is the best QB in the NFL but he is still a very good QB. But even as much as I hate the Eagles I totally respect how tuff McNabb is and how is playin badly hurt for the team to keep winning. McNabb is a big time warrior and mad props to him.


Oh and RoyDestroy. You might wanna get a new sig. If you got to see the 9er-Cowboy game you would see Bledsoe aint a statue.

first of all, I think the chest bruise is a "created" ongoing injury that gives that jabroni an excuse next time a big game is on the line and he starts to lose his breath again.


remember a couple of years ago when espn made a big deal about McNever's offseason workouts, as if he was the next jerry rice or walter payton. Whatever. if his offseason workout is so great, then why does he lose it at the end of the game?


Anyways, even with saying this, I would prefer the game Oct 9th to at least start out with both teams at "full strength". Whatever Doomsday does to McNever, T/O, and co. once the game starts happens. Plus the scariest eagle out there right now is westbrook IMO.


I can't wait for that game! I will be there.

first we gotta deal with randy moss!

 

[dallasblue05]

I hope the E-girls are 100% healthy when we play them.

Let's go toe to toe and see who has what.

I like your point, but I dont exactly agree at this point. I dont really care how we beat them at this point, as long as there is a "W" at the end of the game........for now, I'd rather play them hurt, because I dont know if we are completely ready for them yet......I know it'd be a great game, but if there's any question, mcnasty being hurt helps a lot, and I'll take it!!!!!

Believe it or not, there were reports from local sports radio here that the Eagles were seriously considering playing McNabb for the Chiefs game, then resting him against the Cowboys because they have a BYE the following week (two consecutive weeks of rest). They really do understimate our team.

The sig is a joke..got a sense of humor???

 

[Verdict]

Alright I'll bite on this one ...

While my response is directed toward all of your post, I'd like to pin-point on "I don't want to sit here for a second and believe any fan that would actually be upset."

McNabb's potential to agitate his exisiting injury in the groin/chest are concerns that all Eagle fans have (classy or otherwise). Here's the difference, I don't have to be upset that an opponent player is injured to know what's appropriately stated or not. It takes just as much effort to say something encouraging than it does to say something disparagingly.

For example, if Bledsoe comes up lame in a game, what difference would it make for me to say ...I really wish his injury is not damaging enough to take him out of the game?
None! I choose to lean toward the positive because ...what goes around ...!
Besides, my statement is not going to make that injury any less/more severe anyway, so why not say the right thing.

Here's the difficult part. I realize that there are very classy Cowboy, Skins, Giants, and Eagles fans out there. But as such, there's the other element lurking too. It's difficult to defend against "the other elements" and not collaterally hit the class -- it's a delicate balance. So when I see the "cream of the crop," I let them know! Sometimes my hands get dirty trying to defend against the rift-raft.

Otherwise, I'll mix it up with you, because it's supposed to be fun, not hate! Even towards Cowboy fans

I believe everyone has the right to freedom of speech, and their own opinion. In my humble opinion, this politically correct stuff has gone WAY too far. I think it is entirely appropriate for a poster to say that he doesn't mind facing the Eagles at less than 100%.

I would guess that a full 90% of this board was pleased by the misery faced by the Eagles this past offseason with Owens' antics, the issues with Westbrook, et al. I will include myself in that category.

While I doubt most fans would wish injury upon a player that is life threatening, or causes permanent injury to a player I am sure that most fans WOULD be happy that IF a player was going to be injured, they would be happy it is an opponents' player rather than his own team, and that if an impact player on another team was going to be out of commission for a week, well then it might as well be the week we play them. To say otherwise, is, in most instances a fallacy.

I will carry it a step further, that, if most Cowboys fans were truthful, if a team HAD to have a player be injured that 80+ percent would say that they would choose an Eagles player be injured over most other teams based on the fact that the fans of YOUR team, the Eagles, cheered while M. Irvin lay motionless on the ground, POSSIBLY paralyzed. That was REALLY classless.

I respect the fact that many of you say you really want to face the Eagles at 100%. I also respect the fact that many posters have the fortitude to buck political correctness and say they would be pleased to face the Eagles at less than 100%. I fully support posters right to advocate both positions.

Our founding fathers fought and DIED for, among other things, the right to freedom of speech. Do not surrender that right for any reason, for any purpose, no matter the rationale.

Ok, I am off my soapbox now.
