McNabb could very well be out of shape, and I don't think his mobility will be the same until the beginning of next season at the earliest. I don't exactly know what I expect from him if he does start in 2 weeks, but I guaruntee he won't be the McNabb from weeks 1-10 of this season...and Besides, A.J. has lead them to victory each and every game he's started (the missed field goal last week was Akers' fault, not his).

I still have to disagree. You have one of the best QB's in the league, and even if he isn't 100% or even he is a bit rusty, he is still way better than A.J on any day. A.J hasn't led us to victory, he's been solid, I have to give him that, but it's our defense and special teams that have won games for us. Plus A.J only played one quality team, and he lost, so that says it right there. And if for some reason Donovan can't play, I would start even Koy over A.J...Koy is a much better QB also and if any back-up plays, it will be Koy anyway. But, I saw McNabb running and throwing on the field the other day on T.V, and if he is just somewhat mobile, he's playing...that's why we pay him the big bucks.

But what if the team plays horribly under McNabb. McNabb can not win the entire game by himself. Although he does deserve his starting job back, it's not his fault he got injured. It's quite a tough situation if you ask me.

Well if the team plays horribly then they will lose no matter who is behind center. You can't go into the playoffs planning for your team to play badly. Plus, if you look at what the Eagleas have done over the last 6 weeks with their 3rd string QB, they are the best TEAM in football.

You are right but a win is a win. On the day I become an adult we new yorkers are faced with the prospects of an all new york super bowl. Great.

LOL!!! Maybe the Jets, but the Giants just blew their load against the Eagles who had one of their worst games of the season (Akers missd from 35, need I say more?) I'll be HIGHLY surprised to see them win their first playoff game. Even if they do amnd they come to the Vet, it won't be a close game. Eagles will win BIG. Feel free to quote me on any of what I've said.

The packers won't win on the road in the second round.

Steelers V Raiders
Bucks V Eagles

Eagles V Raiders

Raiders win it all.

It might be and Eagles vs. Raiders Super Bowl, and the funny thing is that in 1980 the only time the Eagles went to the super bowl they played the Raiders but lost 27 to 10.

Professor S · 12-31-2002, 11:08 AM

I agree with Stonecutter's picks except for the last one. Eagles will win IF they make it and i honesty don't fear anyone when their coming to the Vet. The Packers and Bucs worry me a little if we had played them at their place, but now that the Eagles have home field they better turn it on.

BTW, I bunked out for Eagles tickets and got NONE. There were 10,000 people camped out beside the Vet in a shanty town. People were burning police barricades for heat and chopp3ed down trees to burn. Absolute CHAOS. But tons of fun.

oh,yes win BIG!

The Eagles haven't beat anybody in a while and as soon as they faced a good team they lost.

Professor S · 01-02-2003, 08:45 AM

I believe they won 5 of their last six which included a playoff team if I'm not mistraken. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The Eagles are the best team in football right now. Their record says it all. The Giants playe for their playoff LIVES on Saturday and still had to depend on Akers missing a 35 yarder for a team that was already guaranteed a bye.

Thats one GREAT team there, yeppers. Giants = 1 and DONE.

No, but please go on to talk about how bad the 12-4 NFC leading Eagles are a bad team, I find it FUNNY.

Nobody said the Eagles were a bad team.But they are not the best team in the league.They played a better game against the Giants Saturday?The only thing was the fumbles and i believe a touchdown or two was taken back.Not sure.

The Germanator · 01-02-2003, 04:52 PM

Yeah, but our defense gave up some ridiculous amount of yards, 400 some, which is unheard of for our defense...it was clearly one of the poorer games that we have played all year, so yeah...well, we'll see what happens in the 2nd round IF the Giants get there...

Trowser · 01-02-2003, 04:55 PM

We'll see.Reports are that McNabb will play in the Eagles 1st playoff game...

The Germanator · 01-02-2003, 11:44 PM

Yeah, McNabb saidd that there is "no doubt" that he will be ready and play, and considering he played a whole game with a broken ankle based on his words...he'll play.

Bond · 01-04-2003, 08:56 PM

OH MY GOD. THAT BALL HIT A ****ING FALCONS PLAYER. WHO THE HELL ARE THESE REFEREES, ****ING IDIOTS?

OH BOY, THE ****ING REFEREES TOLD SHERMAN IT WAS NOT A REVIEWABLE CALL, WHEN IT IN FACT IT WAS. TOTAL ****ING MORONS.

01-04-2003, 09:54 PM

Packers are really whipping some ass there bond, well at least they just got 7. On a side note I really love listing to Larivee on the WTMJ call.

I don't want the packers to win, but I really wish they'd make a game out of this.

Bond · 01-04-2003, 10:09 PM

Glenn
Green
Driver
Brown

Those are 4 key players, all lost today. Not counting our countless other injures. No way we can get anywhere with all these injures.

Oh joy, another horrible call by our All-Star official crew.

01-04-2003, 10:49 PM

Well, I just turned it off after that incomplete pass on 4th down. I will admit the pack got screwed on that last one.
