He was obviously trying to get a rise out of people w/ his trashtalking - I was simply giving it to him. I dont know why you feel the need to be mediator.

And you have to think about the fans who travel hours to go to other cities for games. Many of those are the diehard fans who booze up the way there - and you know how drunk dudes do.

The same thing goes for Red Wing/Blues fans at Blackhawk games - I dont say "fock red wing fans" because of the busload that drives down to humiliate themselves.

Great game, the better team definitely took the trophy home Kind of upsetting to see bad play calling, bad passing, and turnovers against a team that 100% capitalizes on those sorts of problems. But, there is still next year, I look forward to next season, hopefully the NFC teams get better as a whole

cheers to you philly fans on here for being good sports

Can't be mad. The eagles beat themselves, and the Pats played solid - easy win for them IMO. I really like the team Reid has built the past few years, they are getting better and better, the future can only bring better things hopefully

Well that was a good game one of the best/closest super bowl I've seen in my lifetime. McNabb choked plain and simple, he caused too many turnovers they should've won that game. Not to worry the key players on the eagles are locked up for the next few years so we'll be back count on that Freddie Mitchell stinks, Todd Pinkston stinks they should trade both those losers. At least they played a respectable game and kept it closer than some people here thought it was gonna be a blowout, maybe the eagles will get a little more respect next year probably not though everyone loves to hate philly teams

[Warthog]

the game wasn't as close as the score indicated imo. did anyone ever *honestly* feel, at any point, that philly had a chance? certainly not i. pats had it under control. but philly played tough and the final score was closer than i would have thought.

After Phillys first TD when they were up 7-0 I wasn't so sure, NE was having a tough time getting anything going, and TO had stepped up and made some key plays, along with all the NE penalties. Once NE was up 10 in the fourth I thought it was pretty much over, although a successful onside kick could've changed that game....Philly (as well as NE) has a kicker that can knock one in from the 45 Yd Line.

and removed his head from his ass. Nice clock management Donovan.....

McNabb officially cost Philly the Super Bowl, anyone who wants to say otherwise is just skirting around calling out the real issue.

I totally agree!! Donovan should of took control of his team at the end of the game. Poor clock management all falls on his hands. Also, he was never comfortable the entire game. He constantly had an "OH SH!T what do I do now" look on him. Also I don't care how many yards you get, 4 picks negate everything!!!

Just think Philly fans, if things hold to course, you could be looking at a losing season next year!!!

Donovan's passing yards are severly overrated for the game. The man had to have that many, because he had to throw 51 times....because Philly has NO RUNNING BACK. Westbrook is a good football player, but not a good all around RB. He cannot pound the ball like a Dillon/Martin/Alexander/Holmes/etc.etc. If Philly was in the AFC they would have been battling for a division title and playoff spot because they can't run the ball.

Philly needs to find a workhourse back. IMO it may be wise for them to trade for Ricky Williams playing rights. Maybe that would spark him to come back...and then imagine Philly. Anyways, aside from that, they need to get a true RB and perhaps move Westbrook to WR. One of the Philly coaches believes Westbrook could be a top WR in the league if that was his only position to play. They could also then dump that douchebag homo Mitchell, and the ***** Pinkston.

He choked big time looked like a rookie QB out there a few times, they should've brought in coy detmer the last quarter. If they didnt have 4 turnovers the game was in their hands, turnovers cost you football games. They need to make some trades and get a decent RB, westbrook should move to WR, trade pinkston/mitchell/buckhalter/c lewis

Slim chance at that happening unless everyone get injured, the key players are signed to long term deals for the next few years.

Exactly. In fact, if they were in any other division in the NFC, the same would hold true. They get to play Dallas, the Giants. and Washington 2 times each. Now tell me those 6 games are not gimme's. Did anyone notice that those three teams all finished 6-10, and except for the Giants making it to the Superbowl a few years ago, those teams have sucked for quite some time now.

thats what me and my dad discussed most of the game, that if you give philly a power running back, they will be amazing instead of just good enough to beat nfc people.

time management like i said killed them, at one point the center was telling everyone to get on the line and mcnabb called them back to the huddle

philly should have been up at least by 14 at halftime. and they shouldnt have had to kick an onside kick if they had a hurry up offense. me and my dad were just plain shocked (but thankful) at the way philly played the end of the game

all i know is eugene wilson needs to stop getting hurt late in superbowls, thats how carolina came back last year and why dexter reed had to try and cover guys this time.

i dont know why everyone is criticizing pinkston, he had some of the best catches of the game before he got hurt. looked like he pulled a hamstring or something, any official word on that?

those arent gimmes, dallas and the giants were playing very well there for a while. dallas will be good once they get a QB, but the giants wont be good for a couple years till they get rid of or stop pushing mannind

Rodney Harrison broke his arm last year and played with it. Yesterday was Wilson. I haven't heard reports, but seeing it happened I guessed it was a broken humorous (arm bone that gos from elbow to shoulder). Forgot who he was trying to tackle, but the Eagle guys knee hit directly on the middle section of that bone.

They ARE gimmes...your playing well argument is no good.

Here are Dallas' 6 wins...
Cleveland - barely (19-12)
Washington - barely (21-18)
Detroit
Chicago
Seattle - barely (43-39) and if I recall, Hasselbeck lost the game for Seattle here.
Washington - again barely (13-10)

Washington's wins...
Tampa Bay
Chicago barely (13-10)
Detroit
Giants
49ers
Minnesota barely the last game of the season

Giants wins...
Washington
Cleveland
Green Bay
Dallas
Minnesota
Dallas

So as you can see, the teams that these "Eagles divisional rivals" played and won against were not exactly powerhouses, thus reinforcing my "Gimme's" point, also re-reinforcing that the Eagles anywhere else but in their division aren't 13-3 and best in the NFC.

It's a long off season, anything can happen. I'm sure Carolina fans felt the same way after their Superbowl loss. But look what happened.

Also, I think its a guarantee that the NFC East will get better next season. To many good coaches there for it not to happen.

[TJ95GAGT]

As long as the eagles are running the west coast offense they wont have a RB that pounds the ball like Dillon. It doesnt go with that offense, the short passes and screens act as thier running game. The clock management is the coaches fault not the QB's, they call the plays. Hes not the offensive coordinator. But I think McNabb should have over ruled the coaches and called 2 or 3 plays per huddle, it really isnt hard. But there is no question that the INT's are what lost the game, he freakin stared at the reciever the whole route the one pass.

[kse73]

Well they had a much better showing than the AFC powerhouses (colts/steelers). Im not saying that the NFC is competitive by any means....but if McNabb was on, this would be a different discussion right now.
