Is it the Patriots or Eagles?

Neither team has a loss. Both teams are led by experienced quarterbacks and a strong defense. Both teams have great NFL minds calling the shots on the sidelines. That leads to one question.

? Elaborate? In before the Eagles Bitchers?

ding, ding ding. we have a winner! i was going with bashing, but bitchers work just as well.

but the patriots are the best team right now. i'm a rabid eagles fan, but i'm smart enough to admit this. until (and right now, if) the patriots lose, they are clearly #1.

but all the "my team will kick your team's ass" stuff on here gets rather silly, and not the good board silly. insert "dad" for "team" in the last sentence, and you get what those people sound like - little, whiny kids.

Who gives a shit about this now? The real keys are winning the divsion, and playing in January. If your team does that, then they're the shiznit.

Once Peyton "P-Money" Manning gets his 1st Super Bowl, he'll win a couple more and be an "all-time great".

ditto

id say that new england is better right now, but at this point its all just guesses

New England is the best team in football until they lose. Period. End of discussion.

new england is the best b/c they won so many straight...eagles are playing better football right now though.

New England (18-0) vs Philadelphia (18-0) in the superbowl.

i want it so bad...

Word

Let the Boston-Philly feud begin.

And the Pats are the best team in the league until they lose a game. Even then, they may still be the best.

Also, I find it interesting that the Steelers ending both the Pats and Eagles streaks is leading. Someone is sure going to like that.

steelers ending both streaks...very interesting....

i think the pats have proven themselves to be better...eagles just can't get it done...but we'll have to see what this year brings...

That someone is ME.

someone is eventually going to beat both of them but i think the key is both getting into the super bowl. if one of them doesn't make it then we'll never really know who is the best team this year but clearly the pats are the better organization overall when it comes down to the sense of team, focus, handling of pressure, and coaching. here's hoping for 3 out of 4.

No. Not you. Just Billy.

Boy, there are so many PHI fans on this board. But I gotta go w the Pats. Sorry, guys. No sarcasm.


The one game I did think you guys would loose was the Balt game. I figured it'ld be no prob. But now Pit is crazy suprise good, and Jamal is a criminal suspended. I am hopeful the Ravens shall be your demise.

Because, your team is playing too well. OUrs is playing average. Boller is becoming what he should have been before. Phillly;s overated, and Philles fans must hate the O's after the 83 World Series. TO is a child, Lewis is a "grown up". RAvens already been to Abe Lincoln Field, and are gonna win there Sunday.

Philly fans are drunks.

Its true! Its true!


Oh and Deion Sanders, Ray Lewis, Ed Hartwell, Jon Ogden (who u'all l miss), Kelly Gregg, Will Demps, jamal (ur lucky) lewis, BJ Sams, and Matt (who else is gonna be a RAven Pro Boller?!) Stover are reasons why we should win.

I love being the underdog- I win so much more money when i'm right!






Fascinating.

no u dont. theres nothing worst than your favorite team making it all the way to the super bowl (or the finals) and then lose. take it from a laker fan u better hope new england does not make it to the super bowl

New England - undefeated AND defending Super Bowl champs.
