Man, my tongue bout snapped out just saying that and my fingers broke typing it........

Anybody out there rooting for the stinking Beagles this weekend to beat the Giants and help "THE" Boys out? I am, don't like it, but I am. Was just curious what you all thought.

I'm am as well. Is that a noon/1 PM game?

Go Eagles!

Even when the Eagles were running away with the NFC East, they still had problems with Collins and Barber. The Giants defense started off a little slow, but they've looked like world beaters the last 3 or 4 games. Both teams are trying to bounce back from very bad losses. Its a toss-up, but the Giants are the favorite for good reason.

Go Raiders!

The Commanders are undefeated at home this year. If the Commanders D makes Chis Simms look like Payton Manning, what are they going to make Kerry Collins look like? The Raiders have a bad defense, and I expect the Commanders to move the ball pretty easily. If the Raiders can come up with some takeaways, they'll have a shot.

Yeah, gotta root for Oakland, NO DOUBT. I really think that the Raiders can win, so that wouldn't surprise me at all.

The tougher game is the Giants-Philly game, for obvious reasons. I HATE the eaGALS, so I want them buried and OUT of the playoffs no matter what... BUT as a Cowboy fan, I HAVE to hope the Giants lose, since we are tied with them for 1st and still have to play the G-Men in NJ.

The Cowboys MUST take care of business FIRST and beat the Lions... another should win game that means it's a MUST-WIN game. If we can beat the Lions and the eaGALS beat the Giants we are now 1 full game up on the Giants with the tiebreaker, plus it give the Giants another Division loss.

The eaGALS would still be 3 games behind us with 6 to go, so that is still a good distance - although with the eaGALS NEVER let down your guard... hopefully they will lose a couple more games and knock themselves out of the playoffs. I don't think that McMahon will make the eaGALS much better and will still have inconsistant play for the rest of the season.

We shall see... keep winning Cowboys!!!

GO COWBOYS!!!

At this point in the season and with NFC East champsionship/playoff seed on the line, I always root in whichever way helps the Cowboys. If I gotta root for Eagles, Giants and even the hated Commanders or any other team, I do it with my love for the Cowboys ALWAYS FIRST in mind. So this weekend, my favorite teams are the Eagles & Raiders along with who ever is playing Seattle & Carolina. I think (hope) we win the division but have concerned about being first/second seed so we can a buy. With Seattle & Carolina one up in wins against us, we need them to drop a game now & we win against the Lions. That would leave us all with the same record. Worry about who needs to lose/win next week.

I have a dislike for all other NFL teams except Dallas. I hate the other NFC East teams, and it all depends on that season in regards to how I root for them. Philly won't drop 4 in a row, IMO. They just need to run the damn ball. They showed they can get it done. Go Birds this week.

I don't hate the Giants at all but I wouldn't mind if they lost this weekend as it helps us big time. Even if they beat the Eagles, all is good as it basically buries the Eagles.

Think of it this way, either way we win.

I say go Eagles, Raiders, 49ers. But who to root for between the 7-2 Panthers and the 6-3 Bears? Help me figure it out. My first thought is Bears.

Sorry guys i cant fathom myself rooting for the e-girls. The midgets will blow them away. No mcflabb, no owens, and a defense that sucks on the road, plus the midgets will be a little pissed off at losing to the viqueens. Save you energy, rooting for philty is a lost cause.

Watch out what you wish for my friends...The Eagles may not be dead by a longshot...their schedule is as easy the rest of the year as ours is difficult...add a non-injured quarterback who doesnt throw 4th quarter interceptions...the Fecals may be down but they are not out yet...let the Giants put the golden spike through their hearts while they are down...

I want to see the Giants lose this game but I can't sit there and cheer for the eagles. Just want to see the giants come up short on the score board.

Myself I'm just cheering for the Giants to lose not for Philly to win. LOL

That's how i do it.

I don't think there's any way the Eagles win though. Talk about a team in tumoil.

I agree but then there was no way the Vikes should have beaten the G-Men either.

It's like trying to decide between a broken left arm or broken right arm...
