If you have been an Eagles fan for any amount of time you should know they have the power to play down to any team. And their defense dominated the game just as much as GB's did. And what killed the Eagles, which has been their problem for like 15 years, is special teams, and should come as 0 surprise.

BTW I'm a pack fan living in Philadelphia... so don't complain about your weekend... I have no friends ATM.

God, I swear you are just making stuff up to piss me off. First off they are the most consistent team in the NFL in the past 7 years, having won their division 6 out of 7. Their defense dominated the game much more than GB's did, although you and the commentators must have been watching a different game. 3 of GB's 4 scoring drives: 0yds TD, -1yd FG, 12yds FG. They had one - yes, one - drive.

The Eagles got away from the run as Andy Reid always does with McNabb out there and their special teams lost the game for them.

The Eagles special teams has been their strong point for years under Harbaugh. Vai Sikahema? He was one of the best punt returners ever. Westbrook beat the Giants 3 years ago with a punt return. Akers is a mainstay, the punting was fine. Reno Mahe was 3rd last yr in yds/return for punts and 2nd the year before. And he fumbled 1 punt in two years. God, you're making me insane with random shots that don't make sense.



Die.

I can't argue with any of these points.

I also told girl who likes me that I loved her the other day, so I believe if anyone has questionable moral standing it's me moreso than any girl I bang.

One question.

Did she throw herself in front of a train immediately after this took place?

While this nickname is new, I prefer to call him Thor.

You realize you're talking about a span where the Patriots have won their division in 6 of the last 7 and also, you know, won the Super Bowl a few times.

There is literally no coming back from this one folks!

THIS FIGHT IS OVER!

I realize the point...a social thread for those of us that prefer strat...I just didn't find the particular line of conversation interesting (as it's a topic well-covered by General->Football) and thus neglected to keep up with it. Before I knew it, the thing's 30 pages long, and I've been a little too lazy to dig through NFL discussion for potential nuggets.

I agree that the NFL discussion is boring.

But only because no one is talking about the Steelers.

Patriots suck. Fuck that obese coach and his never ending supply of cutoff hoodies. Fuck Tom Brady and his never ending supply of supermodels. Fuck that mangina Randy Moss. And Fuck that roid head Rodney Harrison.

I am trying to avoid talking about the greatest franchise or the greatest dynasty in NFL history. And we all know who that is.

I am going to pretend you never typed that.

I'm not a Patriots fan at all, but disparging comments about Tom Brady = blasphemy.

Why in God's name does he DO that? Doesn't anyone ever tell him how awful it looks? Seriously.

That's one of the advantages of being on top of the world...who gives a crap how awful you look?

If you want to attack Bill for anything, attack him for being a cheater, which he obviously is.

is it disparging to say that I hope he get's hit by a semi on the way to the abortion clinic?

A worse fate would be to trade him to the Bucs.

Please.

he doesn't cheat. He does bend the rules from time to time but thats what a coach gets paid for.





o come on that homeless look is hot.


I hope Big Ben rides a motorcycle without a helmet and crashes into a wall... o wait that was last year.

touche

he didn't crash into a wall he crashed into a car and smacked his head on it's windshield.

Dec 9th baby Dec 9th

want to put a wager on it PM me. Stars money?

Nothing to see here folks keep it moving.

ewwwwwww double post

sure HU4ROLLZ

also I want the pts

lol i don't think you want to do that as my stars "roll" is now around $300, I have a feeling yours is a little larger. If you do want to play a SNG for rolls let me know.

Ask stupidkid I suck at heads up.

k i will keep that in mind

what do u think the line would be if that game was Sunday at Foxboro?

I would say Steelers +4.5

If they played it this week at Foxboro, it would be +5.5-6, I think, and that is taking into account the Steelers' dominant win.

Please excuse the interuption but I have a poll in Gen poker that is going to be fun, ok it will be lame but whatever.


My gen pop thread

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming

I dunno really, I haven't looked to closely at the Steelers this season. Seems like things are going alright though. But the Patriots looked really good last Sunday. I would say they would give up no more than a touchdown to the Steelers, but there is a lot of season between now and then.

I got my numbers wrong about this absurd quote earlier. I used this site:

http://www.hickoksports.com/history/profoo...ions.shtml#1998

I assumed the years referred to the when the Super Bowl took place ((i.e., 2006 would refer to the 2005-2006 season), but it actually refers to when the season started.

Regardless, Patriots still have won their division as many times and won three Super Bowls and my Bucs have as many playoff appearances plus a Super Bowl win in the last decade.

Eagles are legends in the deluded minds of their fans, only!

I voted I don't care but maybe i just don't get it

Its going to be a fun season

Will address this idiocy upon my return from class.

I think calling my penis Thor should catch on. So you guys talk amongst yourselves about that while I'm at class.

while I do agree what ur saying about the Stinky Eagles

you can't seriously be comparing the TB Buc to them can you?

If you jocks don't stop the sports talk I'll be forced to post pictures of fantasy miniatures to return us to the proper nerdiness balance.

Irony


NFL Determines Pats Violated RulesNFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets' coaches, according to league sources.



NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.



Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents.



The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone.



NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Tuesday that no official decision has been made and that the club has not been notified.



The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.



Goodell is expected to have a decision no later than Friday but that is not set in stone.

sorry i just hate the Pats back to our regular discussions for me

I hate to say this but I might have to become a tourney donkey....

I am so much better at them than cash games.

I have played 70 low limit SNG's of various types and luckboxed my way to a 130% ROI

I'm seriously saying they've been no more successful than my awful Bucs in the last decade despite Mr. Eagles-Most-Consistent claim.

I almost don't want to defend my team and just enjoy this beer and watch The Last Samurai in peace. But I might be forced to....

Philadelphia Eagles:

2000: 11-5 2001: 11-5 2002: 12-4 2003: 12-4 2004: 13-3 2005: 6-10 2006: 10-6

Overall Regular Season: 75-37

Playoffs: 8-6

Combined: 83-43

New England Patriots:

2000: 5-11 2001: 11-5 2002: 9-7 2003: 14-2 2004: 14-2 2005: 10-6 2006: 12-4

Overall Regular Season: 75-37

Playoffs: 12-2

Combined: 87-39

They have 4 more wins. What's more impressive (to Eagles fan) is that they have played the same amount of games even though the Eagles are supposed to be choke artists. How are they not the most consistent team in the league when they have played the same amount of games including playoffs as this (without argument) New England Patriots dynasty?

The Patriots missed the playoffs twice over this same run, the Eagles only once. Their missed playoffs was when they suspended TO for the season and Mcnabb was out for the yr.

No other team has played near this amount of games over this time period, Colts are close.

Shut up about Bucs now.

I know I'm gonna hear 0 Super Bowls but what does that have to do with consistency?

Hahahha. Thank you David. Naismith is being a RT and I'm being an Acid Knight.

Edit: if that's a girl she's hot.

Ahhh, thank you. I was lost before, but now I'm sure you'll come out on top.

Yeah. Were I a miniature dwarf, I'd hit it.

To change the subject, due mainly to the absurdity of T's claims...

I just got back from seeing the movie, "Shoot 'Em Up". Holy crap, if you like violent, fun movies, go see this immediately. Is one of the best gratuitously violent movies I've seen ever.

I get credit for the hot dwarf. Well me and the mini sculptor for Reaper.

Wait. You guys made these? Dorkiest. Marriage. Ever.

Does anything exciting ever happen to either of you?

Not every day. Dave was shot not long ago. That was pretty exciting. I've had more quantity of lesser excitements in my life. We do have a dorky marriage, though.

I was j/k, we knew Dave was shot and that's the weak joke I was trying to make. And you're kind of a big deal in Off Topic so that's exciting.

I knew the irony was intentional.

And yeah, exciting is overrated.

Sorry, I can be pretty thick in the head sometimes.

Heehee

I'd like to point out that you arguing that the Eagles are almost as good as the Pats is NUTS since the Patriots have won 3 super bowls in that time. THREE. Hooray for Eagles fans that they are consistently getting to the brink and falling just short of where they are ultimately trying to go.
