And the Eagles defense is going to make Brady look like Big Ben

that's all well + good but can't you see which way the wind's blowing?

the patriots are going to mug them

at least Philly fans have 2 weeks to convince themselves this game will be competitive. enjoy it while it lasts Eagle fans and prepare to be outclassed in 2 weeks

No convincing needed

i knew this would happen

guess it wouldn't be much fun if philly fans could look at this matchup objectively. i hope TO does play because it's not going to matter and that will end up being a lousy excuse

That's the point I am looking at it that way. I never said the Eagles were the better team in fact I have been giving the Pats props all year. I just feel as though the Eagles don't get a lot of respect as a good team because of A. their 3 past loss's ans B. because of a weak conference. If you throw them out and look at the teams and look at the coaching these teams are similiar except styles.

I'll give the Eagles credit for making it this far. The Eagles defense WILL post a big challenge for us. Grimmace is absolutely right about the blitzing, as that is what they're notorious for doing. Westbrook performed very well yesterday, and I think the Eagles will use him a lot. Pinkston is probably going to be McNabb's primary weapon. However, the long bombs he throws will likely be intercepted based on Samuel's performance.
As for Pats offense, Brady and Dillon know what they need to do. Dillon wants a ring so fucking badly, I can sense it. We have to be fast, smart, and hold onto the ball long enough to run the clock.
As for my SB pick, it's an honest pick. I could be from Timbuktu and still pick the Patriots. Read what the experts have to say on nfl.com. I predict the score will be in the 20's for both teams.
The Patriots are trying to turn their franchise into a dynasty. The Eagles are trying to win their first SB appearance in 24 years. THIS WILL BE ONE HELL OF A GAME.

You're absolutely right - they don't get the credit they should (by myself included here) because of the weak NFC this year. They're better than they need to be to win that conference but because the competition is so weak no one sees it. It's like being the strongest person in a group of invalids. No one really knows how strong you truly are because it didn't take that much to win that title.

I'll totally agree with you there. I don't like it how people just assume it. If they were merely just a product of the weak NFC this year then they would just be getting by but their number are very good

if the pats hadn't just put a 41 spot on a 16-1 Steeler team in their house maybe i'd be giving philly more of a chance

Deion Branch is going to get knocked into 2025 by Dawk-flex if he goes deep over the middle. In every big game, Dawkins knocks out someone.

Anyway, this has been the healthiest the eagles have ever been on defense. JJ will have the defense prepared. If McNabb can limit the turnovers (which the Pats feast off of), it will be a close game.

Boston fan: We are TOTALLY more envious of New York than anyplace else.

Philly fan: Fuck that shit. Nobody envies New York like we do. We ARE the poor man's New York.

Boston fan: Ah you shittin me? We've been playing second fiddle to New York for the last hundred years.

Philly fan: Oh, cry me a fucking river. Your Red Sox fucking WON this year, and you're still trying to tell me that you envy New York more than we do? We've got fucking nothing in this shitburg but a stinky river and an expansive ghetto. At least your town has some culture of it's own and some character.

Boston fan: WE'VE got character? What about you guys with your Ben Franklin and Declaration of Independence and shit? Plus your city's like twice the size of ours, and therefore much more like New York.

Philly fan: Blow me. You're the ones with culture, with all them colleges and shit. Have you ever seen the fucking neighborhoods OUR good colleges are in? It's fucking Baghdad. They make the neighborhood around Columbia University look like Greenwich.

seriously... Dawk-flex?? this is supposed to be an intimidating nickname?

try this one.... Rodney Harrison

I was afraid of the Colts
Then I was some what confident against the Steelers

now I just laugh at the Eagles... This is going to be like the World Series... a great win but not as exciting due to it being a blowout
