by the way, about 40 minutes to what would have been game time and i have maybe 3 inches of snow at my place. :x
Bunch of pussies.
the idea of 40,000 to 60,000 trying to get out of the parking lots at midnight last night is what caused the cancellation. there would have been about 6-8 inches of new snow on the ground by the time the game was over. if you were in philly for the spectrum shows you might remember those parking lots can suck getting out of normally. it would have been a disaster trying to get those fans out in that weather and since a good portion of eagle fans (no offense jaegs) are neanderthal's already well you can imagine...
that being said the game should have been played. very surprised it wasn't. kind of annoyed to cause what else was i going to do on a snowy sunday night but drink and watch football? drinking and watching poker wasn't the same.

neanderthals who even wear jerseys to the game . it is, like, so unsophisticated, 81. you have, like, no idea.
I'm not upset about the game being postponed Im pissed its moved to Tuesday
They have bounced the Eagles around all year with their start times...its friggin annoying
This week was changed again now its a 4:15pm game
yeah. they could play this at 6 and move the mnf game back a half hour or something. i'm more pissed about that than not playing last night either.
sucks its a 4:15 game next week too. i was looking forward to getting my drink on early and getting out of there while it's still light out. i think we've only had two 1pm home games this year. the eagles are now america's team.

not to get into this again but come on now Jaegs you know i'm not far wrong - a good portion are like that.
you're an easy target dude. i'm only kidding.
don't be so naive. fans are the same everywhere.
not everywhere but surely the northeast they are all the same. i totally agree the game would be better tonight. and why still late tomorrow? start it at 7:00 or 7:30. got to win both though. not getting a bye i think is the difference, at least in my mind, from going to super bowl and possibly early out. not getting a bye would probably lead to having to beat Green Bay or the Giants at home , at Chicago and at Altanta - tough road. After 2 games in 6 days we are going to need the week off as well. birds end up with 2 seed i think super bowl is ours for the taking.

and you wonder why i was so bent out of shape after that bears game.
if we do get the 2 seed, wouldn't shock me to see the championship game at the linc. one game at a time though...
F all of it. Want that bye more than anything. Again, sucks with this short week now. But it's good for me because I may be snagging somebody's tix because they can't go on Tuesday. Sucks for him!
funny, I just pulled this move off today. It's gonna be cold as shit tomorrow night
You guys realize the Birds are just going to choke in the playoffs? That's their MO afterall.
at least the eagles get to the playoffs...unlike the shitty seahawks
I like how you take comfort in just making the playoffs.
the eagles haven't won the big one yet, but now that mcnabb is gone their chances have improved. they have been one of the most successful franchises in the NFL during the last decade.

Bastard is back to going now. The bastard. What an Indian Giver.
Also saw 'Inside Job' last night. Jeff Lurie's going to win an Oscar and a Lombardi this year. :thumbup:
man you love those WIP host's huh? like i said the last time you posted a reid slop fest, we get these articles every year about him around this time. he's a damn good coach and doing a real good job this year. let's just hope we get an article like this in late january or february finally.
so weird that there is a game tonight. you wake up on a tuesday morning after watching some mnf and your mind is starting to think about next sunday. kinda forgot about tonight. gotta be odd if you're a player right about now too.

I didn't even know that guy was on 610 until you told me. Some of those stats can't be ignored. He is among the leaders in playoff wins in NFL history. That's pretty impressive.
I feel like dog shit. Got a bad cold and a fever. I never get sick. Might be backing out of the game tonight. I can't be sick for new years eve.

i believe we had a discussion on rueben frank in the phils thread over the summer actually.
my opinion of reid over 12 years doesn't change in one season. he's a damn good coach, no doubt.

I always assumed you weren't too bright reading your posts. Not to observant either. I've always been a Steelers fan. Still want to compare stats?
playoffs?! i think we end up with the 2 seed. here's the playoff scenarios:
Q: Can the Eagles still earn the top seed in the NFC?
A: Yes, but it's a longshot. There are two scenarios. The first one requires four things to happen:
1. Eagles beat Vikings and Cowboys.
2. Saints lose to Bucs in Week 17.
3. Falcons lose to Panthers in Week 17.
4. Bears lose to Packers in Week 17.
In this scenario, the Eagles and Falcons both finish at 12-4, and the Eagles get the tiebreak since they beat Atlanta earlier this season.
The second scenario plays out if the Bears beat the Packers and create a three-way tie of 12-4 teams (Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia). If that happens, the Eagles would FIRST need three things to happen:
1. Eagles beat Vikings and Cowboys.
2. Saints lose to Bucs in Week 17.
3. Falcons lose to Panthers in Week 17.
However, even if those three things happen, the Eagles ARE NOT guaranteed the top spot.
The head-to-head tiebreak would be irrelevant because the Falcons and Bears didn't play each other. Conference win-loss percentage is the next step, but all three teams would be 9-3 against the NFC.
Next up would be win-loss percentage in common games, but there needs to be a minimum of four common games between the three teams, which there are not.
And so it would come down to strength of victory - a tiebreak that cannot yet be determined because Week 17 has to play out. In other words, you'd take the combined win-loss records of the teams that the Eagles, Bears and Falcons each beat this season. The team with lowest opponents' win-percentage gets bounced, and the other two teams run through the set of tiebreakers again.
I know, it's confusing. My head almost exploded this morning trying to figure it out. Basically, you want to root for teams the Eagles have beaten this season to win in Week 17. And you want to root for teams the Bears and Falcons have beaten this season to lose in Week 17.
Now would be a good time to mention that both the above scenarios count on the 2-13 Panthers beating the Falcons. In other words, you probably just wasted three minutes of your life. But people have been asking about those scenarios, so I provided them.
It's important to note here that if the Saints, Falcons, Eagles and Bears all finish 12-4, the Saints get the one-seed, the Bears get the two-seed, the Eagles get the three-seed and the Falcons get the fifth-seed (as the top wild card). I originally had this scenario incorrect in my post earlier this week. Thanks to those who pointed out the error.
Q: How do the Eagles earn the two-seed?
A: This one's easy. Two things need to happen:
1. Eagles beat Vikings and Cowboys.
2. Bears lose to Packers.
That's the only scenario. Both Eagles-Cowboys and Packers-Bears are 4:15 starts so the Birds won't know if their game against Dallas has meaning or not beforehand. The Packers-Bears game is in Green Bay, where the Packers are 6-1 this season.
Q: What's the worst the Eagles can finish?
A: The three-seed, which ensures them at least a home playoff game in the wild-card round. The top four seeds go to division winners, and the Birds cannot finish with a worse record than the NFC West winner.
Q: If the Eagles are the three-seed, who are their potential first-round opponents?
A: It comes down to three: the Packers, Giants or Bucs.
The Eagles cannot under any circumstance face the Saints in the wild-card round because New Orleans can finish no lower than the No. 5 seed.
Whichever team out of the Packers, Giants and Bucs makes the playoffs will be the No. 6 seed.
If the Giants get in, they will face the Eagles in the first round. The Giants need to beat the Redskins and get a Packers loss against the Bears to get in.
The Packers control their fate, needing only a win against Chicago to get in.
And the Bucs need to beat the Saints, while also having the Giants and Packers lose.
Yeah, that's a huuuge longshot. I still feel confident about the 2 seed though. I think Green Bay's about to get sizzling hot and I'd rather not see them as a 3 seed. GB beats Chi town, we win against Dallas(and tonight barring anything ridiculous), and I'll feel better.

Thanks GB...now take out the Bears
