Yeah, well the Eagles have won without Correll Buckhalter, Terrell Owens, Shawn Andrews, Jon Ritchie, and a handful of others... plus Chad Lewis will be out of this game. Injuries are part of the game.

I think the Eagles are hungrier more than ever. And as someone else said, Eagles fans are the best in the NFL. That's why people hate them.

Eagles will pull it off... the Pats are a solid team but I think the Eagles have just enough to pull this one off. Defensively, they're a lot like Miami but even better and Miami's D gave the Pats fits. The key is pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. The defense will carry them and the offense will create mismatches with Westbrook.

The Eagles are undefeated when Westbrook has over 100 total yards.

And don't think we don't relish the fact that everyone hates us.

Eagles fans are the best fans in the NFL, period.

ok ill give you guys credit, you support your team, and you support them well. but, after reading countless horror stories of verbal and physical abuse from fans of eagles opposition who went to games in philly, i lose a lot of respect for eagles fans. It's one thing to tease an opposing fans, give them a hard time and all, but its still a game. No fan of any team should ever have to fear for their personal safety when going to a game, at any venue.

both teams have had momentum all year... but that pats loss to the dolphins hurt. if the dolphins can beat them, ANYONE can beat them.

the eagles are riding one of the best entries into the playoffs they have had in a long time. maybe since 83... when they lost to los angeles in the sb.

the scary thing about the pats is that they completely change their gameplan depending on what team they are playing. however, phila is a different team without TO. we know that. with TO back... its a whole different ballgame. their defensive backfield is strong (even their backups), but against TO, big-time wrestling belt wearing Freddy Mitchell, and a pumped up Chad Lewis... they will get passed allover. their bigtime playmakers arent there... they are on the sidelines. at least, thats where they have been the past few weeks.

they smothered burress and ward... but remember, DMC is no rookie QB. he has the ability to run if he needs to. NE has not played against a good rushing QB since... hell, they havent this season... he is playing unlike he has before. i dont see him throwing 3 easy pickles like ben did. he has a much stronger O line... TO coming back will only boost their momentum and spirits.

double TO they will find mitchell. surely, TO will be able to go over anyone if they 1:1 him. and the way westbrook has been stepping up... man. its gonna be tough to set a defensive gameplan to stop that. for any team...

the pats are a "complete" team, but they lack serious depth, especially on D. if you go and say that their depleted DB corps can handle the depth of the offense phila has, i would have to go against it.

TO, pinkston, mitchell, lewis, chad lewis, lj smith, westbrook, mahe, etc... surely one of them will be open for a few big plays. and at this point in the season, phila has a stronger d. they stopped vick, daunte, moss, etc. i think they can stop brady and dillion.

i really think Phila will bring home the Vince.

regardless, it is shaping up to be one of the best superbowls in recent years. truely the best teams from each conference... lets have some FUN!!11

btw neufuse - didnt mean to hijack your thread... i was gonna make the official thread out of the first superbowl related post i saw. yours was the one. :D

No, People hate them because a good majority of Eagle fans are jackasses. Present company plesantly excluded, however. I've never seen anyone else's fans cheer when a player on the other team gets injured.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your post. I thought you were referring to BOOGSoftball's foolish statement that claims "a good majority of Eagle fans are jackasses."

Anyway, I agree with what you said. I live about an hour away from Philly and I love the city. Philly fans, like myself, are very passionate about their teams and expect wins.

Meh...talking to Tox about that right this moment. That dirt was from the other foot. Watch it all again, his leg that is in question never moved as if it was altered by anything...the leg, the toe, nothing. You pop up dirt, the foot at least needs to flex a bit. But like Tox, I Tivo'ed it, and over and over and over...the path of the foot and leg don't seem to be altered.

But they counted it cause they couldn't tell for 100% that it was not a TD.

i thought the dirt was from the other foot too at first, but i coulda sworn it came after that foot hit the ground. and even still, it looked like the toe at least touched a blade of grass...

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
