No one Owned the Eagles in the 2005 Regular Season!

[austintodallas]

You're right Phoenix, the Eagles were not owned by the Cowboys last season...they were completely and utterly PWNED!

 

[superpunk]

By the time McNabb went down, the Eagles had lost to the Cowboys twice, and the Commanders once. In the first Boys game, they were lucky to score a single TD. They had barely beaten the Raiders at home, needing a David Akers field goal late to take the lead. They needed a miracle to beat the Chargers, and were completely dominated by the Broncos.

And they had a losing record.

Owned. While relatively healthy.

injuries are a part of the game Phoenix-talon...thats like saying your two wins over Dallas in 2004 don't count for anything because julius was hurt the first game, dan campbell was out for the season, terry glenn was lost for the year, etc. so you're wins dont count for anything because WE weren't at full strength...i could say that when you blew us out on MNF in 04' that it wasn't fair because we had nate jones and jacques reeves starting at CB in their rookie seasons covering Terrell Owens...injuries are a part of the NFL and regards to the 33-10 whooping last year, that's as close as full strength as it was for your team last year. i can't recall any major injuries from the week 5 W for Dallas

Simply not true ...perhaps a healhy second team Eagles squad!

Guess again, So Crates.

Ignorance truly is bliss.
Your team was swept by the entire division last year. That's as "owned" as you can get. You were blanked 42-0 by the Seahawks in a disgusting display on Monday Night Football.

The Cowboys called off the dogs after shredding your defense en route to a 33-10 shellacking. The Eagles were fortunate to win the games that they did last season. But keep drinking that green Kool-Aid of yours.

There's what you choose to see, and then there's reality.

You're stIll not realizing that beating down an injured team is nothing to hang your hat on. I'm saying match a healthy Eagles team against a health NFCE team and let's see what happens. I'm not certain any of the games played against us were a true measurement of our abilities.

I'm also saying that if the same happens this year (and your teams are all better than they were in 2005; perportedly), then I'd be convinced that the NFCE has improved.

That doesn't help our point out any.

We lost to the Raiders. The Eagles won.
You could argue we needed a miracle to beat the Chargers as well.

And we also lost to the Broncos (though, we weren't dominated)

Do you even watch the games you're trying to talk about?

Please enlighten us as to what key players the Eagles were missing during that game in which they were owned all day long.

Who were the Eagles missing in the first Dallas game?

McNabb? No.

Dawkins? No.

Fraley? No.

Owens? No.

Kearse? No.

Runyan? No.

Trotter? No.

Sheppard? No.

Brown? No.

Thomas? No.

Westbrook? No.

Who is the missing "injured" player that would have made a difference?

Todd Pinkston?

Let's see....

We moved to a 3-4.

We lost our starting ILB (Dat), starting SOLB (Al), starting LT (Flozell), OLB (Kalen), Henry for a couple of games, Jones for a couple of games, Rivera played hurt, Ferguson/Spears started the season hurt, etc.

We had injuries too, throughout the season.

Because in a 3-4, who really needs starting LB'ers?

The Eagles were healthy in Game 1. Check your facts.

And again, you can believe what you like - that's your right. But reality paints a distinctly different picture.

 

[Vintage]

Kind of like when the NFC East was terrible, sans you guys....

The Eagles got an easy ride from 2000-2004, right?

Or does that not apply....?

Pheonix Talon, please explain.

Um....the point is that the Eagles, while healthy, were getting rocked. These are all games that came while they were healthy. It absolutely does help the point, if you recall the OP correctly.

And I don't think a stand at the 7 yard line can be considered a miracle, in the same vein that blocking a kick, having it bounce into your arms, and returning it for a TD.

Otherwise, the Raiders needed a miracle to beat us.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

Don't you mean Rocket Science?

To own a team is not a one year thing.
It's beating them year after year. Not necessarily a sweep every year, but 3 out of every 4 games.
Like we own the Commanders. Yes the swept us last year, but that's what 3 of the last 17. Buddy Ryan's Eagles owned the Cowboys, even though they had the best defense, and we were just horrible, but for years they beat us. But now it's turning back to when the Cowboys owned the Eagles from from 70 until mid 80's.

There's credence in your words. Again, no one in the NFCE owns the Eagles! And I'm surprised one of your statisticians haven't stepped forward ...you may learn something different than you expected from the last 5 years teams have played in our division.

Using the same logic as some have ...do the Skins own the Cowboys?

 

[MossBurner]

The Eagles will be better in 2006 than last year if McNugget stays healthy. That being said, they were the worst team in the division last season (with & w/out McNabb) and will be the worst team in the division this season.

 

[superpunk]

Who is the missing "injured" player that would have made a difference?

Todd Pinkston?

Jerome McDougle. Homey.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

ok PT, noone owns the Eagles


now go away

 

[superpunk]

Using the same logic as some have ...do the Skins own the Cowboys?

Is your OP about 2005, or history?

If it's about history, the Cowboys own life.

But, it's about 2005. And EVERYONE owned the Eagles. Deal with it, and pray that Reid learns how to call a legit game.

 

[Waffle]

Come on P-T. You are better than this. The premise of this thread is just silly. I remember watching the Eagles get destroyed so badly by Seattle on Monday Night Football that I ACTUALLY felt sorry for Philly for the first time in my life. It was so much of an "owning", that the stands at the Linc were empty by the start of the 3rd Quarter. If that game doesn't count as an "owning," then nothing does.

wned: wned: wned: wned:

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

Someone show this fool footage of game one in Texas Stadium. That my friend is an *** whooopin.
Owned is not a harsh enough word for what happened that day.

Someone tell this guy I'm no fool for wanting to give me team an even chance. Someone tell this person that there are clips of *** whooopins that have occurred throughout 2000 - 2004. Someone tell this poster that he doesn't have to sling out names to make his point! And finally, someone tell this fan that one *** whooopin does not ownership make!

 

[Alexander]

Come on P-T. You are better than this.

Since when?
