While the Eagles don't have a true no. 1, when you can get the ball to 8 diferent receivers it tends to dampen the impact. Never mind the growing shift towards the run represents a titanic shift in Eagles offense.havokeff wrote:Same QB. Same running back. Mostly same offensive line. Still nobody wide recievers, and if you say Desean Jackson, I will say T.O., and they choked in the SB with him. Same Head coach. Same offensive system.
The SB is a different tiger, so let's not go into that.
Oh piss off, different doesn't mean just people on the field. Different includes an attitude, an outlook, a feeling. I realize that I'm using an intangible, but this really isn't the same team.havokeff wrote: Same Defensive leader in FS Dawkins. Same Defensive coordinator. Same defensive scheme. I will give you that the rest of the difference has changed for the most part, but to say this is a different Team is fucking ridiculous.
The only bandwagon I'm on is your mom's Hav, don't you fucking dare accuse me of that.havokeff wrote: If someone is drinking the Kool-Aide, which apparently is bandwagon flavored, it certainly isn't me.
Nice theatrics, but you didn't pay attention to my argument. My argument wasn't that the Eagles simply Beat the Cards on Thanksgiving, they fucking destroyed them. Those 4 games you listed? Lost by a total of 14 points. Thanksgiving? 28.havokeff wrote: So you are saying that I can't say a team is the same as they used to be in citing their loses in big games so I think they will lose again in a big game, and you respond with... This team already beat a team so they will win again? Nice, retard.
But lets play this game any way...
To answer your question, The Cardinals lost.
Allow me to retort.
Baltimore lost to Tennessee in the regular season.
Arizona lost to Carolina in the regular season.
Philadelphia lost to New York in the regular season.
San Diego lost to Indianapolis in the regular season.
Oops there goes your point.
I am not saying simply because they beat them once they will win, I am however saying the Eagles are on a roll right now and during that streak look what they did to the Cards once already. If I liked playoff systems decided by arbitrary record comparisions, I'd watch college football.
Eagles had a short week too in fairness, and while home field advantage counts for something, but 28 points? That's a rather large gap, don't you think?CmdrWilkens wrote: You mean when Arizona had a short week, flew to the east coast and then lost? Lets see, Arizona has:

That's a fair point, but this isn't baseball we're talking about.CmdrWilkens wrote: 3) No need to fly
Dunno, Boldin is a big question mark and that casts a rather large shadow. Eagles are pretty healthy themselves so both squads should be at realtively full strength.CmdrWilkens wrote: 4) All their players should be healthy by then
To be terribly honest, I really don't understand the confidence everyone is displaying with the Cardinals. They're obviously not a bad football team, but really people aren't giving the Eagles any credit.CmdrWilkens wrote: So yeah I'm going with Cardinals over Eagles.
