I'm happy the Phillies World Series Win didn't soften any Philly fans. Let's face facts, the "D" spotted the offense 7 points in the 1st qtr.of whuck Philly had the ball 1:59. Same thing every week. Slow offensive start and burn out the "D". 5 four and outs and a pick doesn't exactly help a defense. Possesion 39 to 21 is not exactly good for offense or "D". Andy calling 2 running plays to end the game is the same stupid play calling he tried against Da Bears. Oh did I mention the "O" was 27% on 3rd down conversions. This "O" does not hit the ground running, they start out very slowly, burn out the "D" and then pour it on for a quarter. All is not lost and I still have faith we can pull out of this but the "O" needs to come out firing and adjust when necessary.

10+ years of AR isnt as bad as 20+ of jerry sloan out in utah with no hardware. just a crybaby owner who shows all his loyalty to a horrible coach who no one wants to play for, who wont ever change philosophy and thinks he is who people are paying money to see. screw the fans if the owner has no balls.

we lost cuz of our defense .. WHY ? because we ran the same EXACT scheme as the redskins .. we took out their best WR and only had 7 and sometimes 6 to defend the run .. And just like we got gashed by portis we got killed by the run this time too .. WE DID NOT LEARN OUR MISTAKES AND WE DID NOT ADJUST.. and thats why we lost

I believe that the best way to vent frustration is to join eagle forum. That is all. I could not even sleep tonight. Obviously, tonight is a different game because we are against defending champion. It is hard to sleep.

One more thing- for ChinaEagle- Watch you parents die while waiting for a SB. Realize that YOU may not live long enough to see a SB win. Being bitter and jaded is, in a way, a great Eagles legacy. We love our team even though they break our hearts. We're like Charlie Brown, always trying to kick the football that Lucy holds.. But I'm waxing poetic. Goodnight.

I'm suprised that BLUECHUMP hasn't showed up tonight in one of his many guises. Probably grounded...

Well, as usual, I'm kinda drunk. So I will sign off. PlasmaTV, my advice to you is to have a hot toddy and try to relax. And avoid SportsCenter till at least Thursday.

I know we have a chance sccmy...the prob is like everyone's been saying, the season led to this game...it was a very very important game, which could have easily made all the rest enjoyable to watch...now we have to look at every game as a Must win..and it's not fun when they're all must wins...because now , the only one i'll enjoy in the regular season, is the last one vs dallas IF..and only IF..we've won all games from here to there...that's a long time to wait for a game to finally enjoy again, and it may not even happen..so yea, there is still hope, but the mood is somber for most passionate eagle fans because we know what this night meant..and the way they lost it, is pretty much unacceptable.

Falcon is still too young. This is too early to say that they will be the superbowl team. Michael Turner is on the show so far. But Matt Ryan lacks of experiences, he is not like Tom Brady. So, falcon can be the playoff contender but not the SB team.

Our 2 first rounders should be worth at least 3 2nd rounders, a conditional 3rd rounder, and one scrap heap player from another bottomdwelling team.

PlasmaTV- it doesn't matter when Crabtree gets out. We will undoubtedly trade out of the 1st rund and never get a shot at him, anyway.

I am surprised at most eagle fans' reactions. Seem to me, we were worse than the dolphin last year. We cannot do that. Think about phillies. Who thought they get the world series, but they have hearts to prove it. We do have the chance because we do have the chance to meet Giant, redskin, cowboys. This is not over. By the way, AR and #5 will stay in the team in 2009 at least. There is no way that they will leave soon. They will not be fired. Period.

Damn right. WE spend a fortune on tickets and merchandise. WE stay up late to watch these primetime games. (They only run primetime so they can sell more advertising) The Ddeclaration of Independence was signed not far from the Linc, and one of the keys parts of that document was that we not only have the right, but the responsibility to keep our leaders accountable.We, thae fans, keep the NFL in business. And I say to you, our owner owes us better.

I'll say this just to get off of the Eagles for a second... The Falcons are the next big thing. Give it a few years, and they will be a SB team.

Wee, I brought up the idea of a fan revolt. Do I get a cookie? Or maybe I could pick a draft pick for us! Sure I would do better than AR has previous years... Lol.*** Can someone answer my question on when Crabtree gets out of college for the draft? I honestly forgot. :-\

if I am the AR, I will try to get Davenport from steelers. If we want to go to playoff, this is the shot. There is no reason to feel disappointed about that. We got the tough schedule, and the giant is on the same boat. We need the addition.

I am right there with you D_engle...I've had a love/hate feeling for reid, we were 5/11 in 99, 11/5 in 2000, and winning record ever since until just recently, for so long is was getting better every year, and 05 was supposed to be that year, but..well..injuries maybe..we made excuses, they said it tonight, we're all healthy...we could have/should have made a statement...we did...a statement that we need BIG CHANGE, and I like the Idea of a Fan's revolt like in cleveland...they even started brady quinn because they were afraid the fans wouldn't have andersons back..LOL...that's the kind of FANPOWER we need...we're the reason they make the money they do in the first place, I think we should have some say...maybe not playcalling...LOL though that was an entertaining Idea

Gotta Kinda agree with ChinaEagle... We probably should not use our "power running" Game with one time out and two minutes to move 60 yds for a TD. Poor Westbrook. He's gotta be hurtin.

i dont know guys. i figure if we're going to suck, let's just lose the games where it won't hurt as much say if we get further into the playoffs. it took me four months to get over that loss to the pats. even still, its hard to look back on it and wondering about the possibilities. see it as you may, this team is finished. the players are old, and if they were gonna get ANYTHING, it would have to be this year. eagles were in control of their own destiny..or maybe the Man up stairs just said no? either way, we didn't win. had we won, it'd feel like we didn't deserve it and best believe we'd have gotten more disappointments up in the season. the sports channel says we have the third toughest schedule...we have ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM for errors or losses. hope the redskins or dallas knock each other off, and the panthers to start losing games to even think a wildcard. this team doesnt excite me...this loss drained all that optimism and faith and high hopes i had all week. i'll have to endure an earfull all week with redskins fans saying we suck as usual followed by a really cute EXPENSIVE eagles jacket i just bought that seems funny to wear now since people will be laughing deep down thinking "THE LOSER TEAM." sad morning for all of phillys faithful. im off to bed fellas...this was a tough one, i didnt say we HAD to win but in all honesty, we dont have it in us, as ive found out tonight, to win a SB this year. mcnabb still got 120000 tonight, im still paid a salary less than 2 thirds of that in a year, and while i find it hard to go to sleep, im sure he's sound asleep thinking about chunky campbells soup and a fat hoagie tomorrow without a darn thing in the world to care about. season over guys...i wont be watching football until 2009 when hes out, reids out, and new players in who can bring SOMETHING here. goodnight guuys

I want to go to bed, to angry to do it though. Cooling down a bit... But angry as all hell... I think we need to look at the positives from this game instead of the negatives.*** The excellent playing from Mike Patterson. The excellent play from D-Jack. The fade pass being successful again. 2 for 2 so far... Umm... Umm... We scored 31 points? Sorry I'm lost from there.

And a couple more 3 reciever sets with a deep ball to #10 coulda opened a running lane or two..

for dbm517:
Trust me, I know about the history about the eagle. The only quaterback fits your definition will be Manning Brothers and Tom Brady.
As for Eli manning, he stood up at the superbowl at the last minute. No one will think that when he made 4 interceptions last year against Vicking. He fits into your definition because he led the Giant to beat the superbowl.
Regardless of #5, he did not even lead us come from behide in the 4th quater, especially in SB and in 3 NFC championship games.He deserves the shot tonight in that situation. We should not run under two minutes. Look at Eli manning. during the playoff, Giant let running back to be a hero, so he step aside. When it comes down the stretch, he got the shot to beat patriot. Mcnabb deserves that chance regardless of what it had happened. if we want the return, we need to take the risk.
As for the SB against Pats. We did make great come back after reaching 30 yards line down 10 points after TO got the the ball. However, in that game, AR made many too aggressive calls, and #5 followed his order. Then, he screwed up. I believe, we should run the ball after TO made that reception. anyway, we lost because there are some plays we should run the ball. But tonight, we should put the ball into Mcnabb's hands.
Period.
