Forget it. Andy Reid invented football and he knows better than you and me and anybody else in the entire universe who has the temerity to suggest there's no substitute for a strong running game.Elfdart wrote:McNabb is done for the year with a blown ACL. Eagles management should buy, beg, draft, kidnap or do whatever the fuck it takes to get an every down back. Number Five shouldn't have been the main rushing threat and now he can't be.
Three NFC championship losses, a Super Bowl loss, last year's fiasco, and now another debacle of a season in the making. McNabb should have at least two rings by now: we would have kicked the shit out of the Raiders in 2002 and we were better than the Tampa Bay team that beat us at the Vet, and the Patriots were practically giving away the game in 2005 and the Birds didn't take it.This has to be the most criminal misuse of a team loaded with talent since the Houston Oilers of 1987-1994 or the Patriots of 1976-1980.

But holy SHIT!!! HOLD ON TO THE FUCKING BALL!! I almost had a fucking heart attack. 
there's only 1 reason I'm in the mood to throw this link up: victory! 35-27.
It started as soon as the game was over. Hugh Douglas and Steve Martarano in particular were incredulous after the game.RedImperator wrote:Three NFC championship losses, a Super Bowl loss, last year's fiasco, and now another debacle of a season in the making.

Don't think the fans in Philly don't know this. After today, the Eagles have lost the benefit of the doubt. WIP is going to be a weeklong endless loop of "fire Reid", and while intellectually I know that's a stupid idea, emotionally it's resonating pretty powerfully.
) and every other play a Charger defender was being carted off the field. I thought they were literally going to run out of defensive players. Rivers throwing a Pick Six hurt like hell, too. But somehow they hung in there and Tomlinson scored 4 TDs -the Donkeys were toast. Serves 'em right for wearing blue jerseys and blue pants, an abomination that was punished.
I think they had those jerseys back when T.O. was still playing for them. I think more than a few teams were going for the "bad ass black" (it'll make the team more agressive and we'll sell more stuff to ganbangers) look. I think these days more teams would rather try to sell throwback stuff which a wider variety of people will buy than the gang banger stuff.Elfdart wrote: Speaking of shitty attire, why the fuck are the Eagles wearing black jerseys? To try to edge in on the gangbanger market now that wearing Raiders garb says "I'M A WASHED-UP PUSSY"? They looked like shit and played that way, too. Tennessee went back to baby blue, like when they were in Houston, resurrected the spirit of the glory days of Bum Phillips (i.e. winning despite having NO quarterback) and pasted the gangbanger wannabes. The gods of football will not be mocked. Fuck with the traditions of the game and they will smite you.
Eagles ShopLosman is finally learning (or being allowed) to scamper around a bit. I finally made a dive on 3rd and short to get the down instead of another fucking blown pass and ran for another 1st. It was good to see him move a little.Falkenhayn wrote:A game winning drive in the last minute thirty by JP Losman?
I was as suprised as anyone else.
Tsyroc is correct. The Eagles have had the black jersey since at least the last two seasons and possible several before, if I remember right.Elfdart wrote:Speaking of shitty attire, why the fuck are the Eagles wearing black jerseys?

Should have said so,but I watched from start to finish. When DJ didn't go for it on 4th and 4, my coat was on and I was one foot out the door.Kuja wrote:Losman is finally learning (or being allowed) to scamper around a bit.

And Evans had a fucking field day.
) played like soft wet vaginas and even a flat Jacksonville team pummeled them. This may have been due to the head coach wearing a suit and tie on the sidelines. Very old school. The football gods overlooked the abomination of solid colored uniforms because of that. Of course it also had something to do with the Giants being such a crap team whose best players are injured and can't play. Hooah! Since I've been old enough to watch Chargers football [I'm 21] this is probably the 2nd best time to be a Chargers fan.Elfdart wrote:As a Charger fan, I would like to thank the New Jersey Giants for giving us the rights to Philip Rivers and Shawn Merriman in exchange for She-li Manning. Been great doing business with ya!
Literally pejorative, but I like to go a step further and use it as an adjective: "you Ryan Leafed that throw!" [which can really mean one of many things, to include over throwing a wide-open receiver down the middle or throwing a rocket on a flat-pass

Why am I laughing? Because I'm talking about Peyton Manning, not Eli. The Giants suck and after Tiki retires after this season the Giants, with thier new coach, will put all thier hopes and dreams on lil' Manning's shoulders and he just doesn't have it like Peyton does.The only reason they are playing that way is because they keep spotting teams 21. Martyball is still alive, you'll see.Elfdart wrote:I was a kid during the Air Coryell days and it was the most fun I ever had watching football, though the current bunch is closing in fast. It was the antithesis of Martyball and very similar to the way the team is playing right now.
I remember that too, well, all the playoff and Super Bowl memories are kinda clouding it up, but I remember.Elfdart wrote:The Niners make it all the way to .500 and their fans are already talking smack.
I remember when we used to be that way. Any season of .500 or better, or any season with a win over the Raitards was the best to be hoped for.
