No one Owned the Eagles in the 2005 Regular Season!

[Vintage]

That ...I cannot deny ...but not owned! Now how many "pwned!!!" equal an ownership?

You do know that pwn=own?

Pwned=owned?

...While relatively healthy.

Is that like being a little pregnant? Listen, we had injuries throughout our team even before McNabb. And don't forget about other disruptions that plagued the lockerroom!

If your suggestiong the T.O. disruption, then, that just proves that your coach, organizaton, and team is mentally weak!

Nah.

It's mostly just the QB.

Before you spout off nonsense like this post, please at least try to have your facts straight. You obviously don't know what you're talking about and then when called on it, you try to change the "rules" of your original post tio fit your foolish contention.

Like I said.....Someone (nods in PT's direction) didn't think their original post all the way through.

Back to the drawing board.

injuries are a part of the game Phoenix-talon...thats like saying your two wins over Dallas in 2004 don't count ...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

This is probably the second most logical comment in the thred ...yours is a fair argument. But it doesn't rule out that one season doesn't dictate ownership.

Injuries are sometimes unavoidable. But when key players (qbs, WR, playmakers in general) are taken down due to injury you don't use that as a measurement to determine the opponents strengths.

Let me give you an analogy ...when one team "upsets" a better team (a team that is expected to win over another because of previous performances, meetings, etc), you can't use that upset as a barometer to determine dominance.

The Classic " I can't be wrong post". Love it! Defending the worst team in the NFCE on an oppossing teams site. CLASSIC!

Being owned it subjective. Most people consider losing 33-10 being owned in that game. If you are using "owned" over several seasons, you should have specified that in your opening post and defined what you believe "being owned" is to you.

Maybe if you continue with this garbage, we'll all forget what the original post said, no?

Reflecting back to 2005, I can't honestly accept that anyone in the NFCE actually owned the Philadelphia Eagles! Oh, just about everyone beat us up, slap us, spanked us and beat us down pretty bad -- but you don't own us!

I guess you could argue that owning equates to the scroe board, or sweeping us at your house and at the Linc. However, my interpretation of "owning" goes beyond winning numbers on a score board. In my view, owning a team is a mentality; it's an expectation that two healthy teams met on the grid iron, both evenly matched ...mano-e-mano, your "A" team against our "A" team.

Of course I expect resistence about my perspective. But if your best is injured, you have to send in a replacement, but you don't have expectations that they will perform at the exact same level as your best.

Then they'll be those who'll say ..."a win is a win!" "we got the W," or our team was just a better team! And you know what ...it's absolutely correct! I'm not trying to say that you didn't have better teams in 2005, I'm just saying that you didn't play the best that the Philadelphia Eagles have to offer.

But owning us is something that no one did in 2005. The Cowboys, Commanders & Giants got an easy ride on the 2005 NFCE Regular Season. That said, even in 2005, the way through to the NFCE Championship playoffs came through the Eagles; remember that game where if we won the Cowboys would have made the playoffs ...but the Skins tweaked out (even injured, we gave them a game) a victory.

So, I say to you that aside from what the Skins did in the FA, TO, and anyone else ...the road to the 2006 NFCE Championship playoffs is through a
healthy Philadelphia Eagles!

We're your real test to determine just how tough the NFC-East has really become in the last two years.

All proved bogus, since both the Cowboys and the Commanders played a full strength Eagles team.

Keep those wheels spinning, PT. Just try to prepare a little better next time. We understand. Sometimes things sound alot better in your head, than they do when in print.

That's because some things were meant to stay in your head. Just ssomething to keep in mind.

 

[Vintage]

My question to PT is, what is the point of this thread?

Seriously?

What the frick is the point in making this thread? You have no point whatsoever at any juncture of this arguement. Yet, you continue on, like you actually have a point.

Stop.

Re-read your first post.

Realize how stupid it was.

Cut your losses.

This really is a stupid, stupid thread.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

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)

Dayam good points. Those are games that could have placed you guys Into the playoffs.

Well done Superpunk!

You have clearly demonstrated that the post's author does not understand the very post that he himself created!

You should try to make sense with your posts rather than just throwing stuff out there.

Trust me, I am not trying to dig up excuses for us. The only reason I brought up our injuries too, was bec. you were using them to defend your team. My point was, we were injured to.

Last year we were a 9-7 team. Not a "playoff team if we had a kicker" or a "10-6 team had we played the last game like we cared" or a "unlucky 9-7 team that the Commanders lucked out in sweeping us."

At the end of the day, one thing matters. We were a 9-7 team. It doesn't matter how we got there. We were a 9-7 team.

Same applies to you. Last year, you were a 6-10 team. That's all that matters.

PT does not understand that what is in his head right now is "fear"! It's in the back of his head and he does not know it, that is why he makes these kinds of posts, to convince himself, or anyone else that will listen, that it was alright to be everyones whipping boy last year!

The guy is hurting, bigtime, and I kinda DON'T feel sorry for him...because that window is closing little by little each year as the other teams in the NFCE grow a little stronger...

There are no more easy games like the 4 or so years that the Eaglets thought they were so good...there is no more 15 minute scrambles from McSlob, there are no more, just no more, not anymore....!

Therapy works wonders...or, perhaps he can chow down on some of those shrooms that the iceberg poster munches on?

Actually, reading it again, I think I understand the purpose of the thread.

To instigate.

Someone said it earlier, "The classic I can't be wrong" post. I'd add a caveat - it's the classic "I can't be wrong, because I didn't actually say anything - but I'll defend it because I feel like aggravating a few Boys fans" thread.

Eh, we bought it. Whatever.

 

[Vintage]

How is their window closing?

They have a good OL, with youth at ever position EITHER starting OR eventually going to start.

They have a nice DL rotation with youth.

LB is an area of concern.

Their secondary is pretty young.

As is RB. McNabb is 30. WR's aren't great....


If anything, our window is closing. Bledsoe, Glenn, and Owens are getting up there. We don't have any youth OL that look like eventual replacements at LT, RG. Kosier is an unknown, shaky center play.....

Actually, instigate implies a motive and a motive usually involves deep thought.

I doubt it.
