i'm all for starting foles this week to see how he does in a big spot. i just want to temper the enthusiasm until we see it continue on a weekly basis. you're right, this is an incredibly small sample size.

that said, if he beats the cowboys this week, this town will go nuts for him.

I'm enthused for 2 reasons, winning and TDs over FGs. I don't care who the QB is if those keep happening.

i hear you...i just think people need to be realistic. he's not bobby hoying or aj feeley...but he's also not the 2nd coming of joe montana either. there is not a good track record of 3rd round picks developing into elite, franchise level quarterbacks. he's looked good in 6 quarters of football so far. if he gets the opportunity and continues this over a good stretch of games, then we can get a little nuts. time will tell. good start, though--definitely.

seems like everyone is always on either end of the spectrum when it comes to this stuff.

We don't have too many choices at QB right now. What would you propose we do at that position right now?

yeah, that didn't make a lot of sense.

Foles was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Didn't Kolb win one or two of those?

**The above is a statement of fact, not an endorsement of the player**

Edit - Kolb won 2. Here's the list,

All-time Eagles QB Player of the Week awards: Donovan 8, Randall 4, VIck 3, Kolb 2, McMahon 1, Hoying 1, Foles 1

I propose we don't mock a guy who has 2 super bowl rings and two super bowl mvp's, one of which came just two years ago. or in case you lost count that is 2 more rings than our franchise and 2 more mvp's than every eagle player combined. but hey that's just me.

Lighten up Francis. So you're telling me that "Manning Face" isn't funny to you? You're right, because I posted that gif it takes away all of his career accomplishments.

pjhawks is a weirdo

mcmahon won that once? had to have been that browns game in 91 when they came back from down 20 or something to win. even though they didn't make the playoffs, that was such a fun season. all time great defense.

my opinion: Vick is too slow in his check-downs, takes too long to make decisions. he knows that he can always scramble and just run for it. The rest of the offense can't do their job properly, always worrying about Vick taking off and needing to protect him for way too long each play. As a result they get low production play-to-play and have to rely on making big plays too often.

The Eagles had the same issues with Cunningham - fun to watch, but in the end they weren't able to win consistently enough.

So it makes sense to me that one of the first things Reid did in KC is to get a reliable QB - one that doesn't take unnecessary chances, makes good decisions and is part of an efficient offense. With Alex Smith he has that.

So I think Foles is a better option.

not really, I guess I have a higher standard of comedy than that.

or maybe i'm just not a dick. I just never understood trash talking, especially in a town where our teams have mostly sucked over the years. it just wasted breath and effort. sports eventually knocks everyone down so why take shots at someone who is down? especially someone who has reached heights twice that all 4 of our teams have only gotten to once in 30 years. never felt the need to do it on the field and surely don't feel the need to do it on the internet. and if that makes me weird in your eyes I gotta say I don't give a fuck

You put players on the Eagles down all the time. How is this any different?

because that's my team. it's like your brothers or sisters. i can pick on them, but i don't want or let someone outside the family or close friends do that.

and i criticize eagles players performances, i don't put them down for how they look. big difference.

The look on his face is performance based. You're allowed to have an opinion and so am I. You do realize that all comedy is making fun of something or someone? I didn't say he sucked. I didn't create it. I just enjoyed it. If I offended you, I apologize. Let's get back on track here and rip on our brothers and sisters

i don't get offended that easily so no need to apologize to me. we disagree which is fine. I've stated my reasons why.

and back on track it's going to take at least 35 points and probably more to win this week. I don't have a good feeling about this game. I think it could get ugly. although after 8 straight home losses this team is due to win one.

This thread is awesome. I still think we all should have a beer in the parking lot next week. :corn:

trash talking? it's gif of funny faces he makes. yes, getting bent out of shape over something as minor as this absolutely makes you a weirdo.

and here's you taking a shot at him a year after he won his first super bowl:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=121800&p=3297744&hilit=+eli#p3297744

my oh my! saying a super bowl champion quarterback gets frightened and panic's like a little girl because of a little pressure is really offensive. and, quite frankly, it's sexist. i am appalled.

i would take eli as my quarterback in a second, just like i would have taken tom coughlin over andy fucking reid in a nano second. doesn't mean we can't take shots at them every now and then. it's what fans do.

The Juggler

and by the way--the match ups favor the eagles this week. that is one banged up cowboys squad.

murray
ratliff
ware
spencer

all out. these are their best players.

i like the birds this week.
