Ok and thanks. I guess I don't see us pounding our chests like you outsiders do. I personally don't think we're the best team to ever play the game but we've got a shot to win this year.

Some more than others. And honestly, nothing really wrong with it. Isn't that what being a fan is? But, on the flip side, those same folks have to be more willing to take it than they apparently are. And isn't THAT what sports are all about.

yeah- me. but i didn't call them a "crappy" team. i called them a good team who would eventually struggle once their schedule got tougher. they finished 2-5 cliff.

I am aware. Just pointing out that the same argument was made

Anyways, carry on, this is golden

Shouldn't you be polishing your rings right about now?

Aaaaaaaanyway, I need suggestions for somewhere in the city to host people to dole out fantasy money and watch the game. Xfinity was on the list, but do not wanna be that crammed at 7pm.

Ready, go.

No, literally, it punched me in the face from behind and kicked me again in said face while I was out for the count.

I apologize, that's outside of the city.

I prefer Uncle's thank you very much.

first off Happy New Years fuckers.

nice to see I've been away for awhile and you guys haven't really changed without me here.

I said let's wait to review Chip's and the season until it was done and so I'll gladly eat a little crow. Chip and the boys got it done. Doesn't matter what circumstances as far as who you played, how bad your division is, breaks you got, questionable coaching decisions, or how healthy your team stayed all season winning a division title is a great accomplishment in the NFL (for every team not just the Birds). I'll give Chip his due at this time for this regular season (even if some of you guys wanted it after 8 or 9 games). 1st regular season for Chip turned out great but it's time for the next step.

I don't agree with the sentiment that whatever happens from here is gravy. regular season obviously ended in a great accomplishment and losing Saturday won't take away from that but you only get so many chances in the NFL playoffs. it's really difficult to make it. like life where you have to take advantage of opportunities this is another for this franchise. just because this team won this year doesn't mean they will automatically come back next year as well. Home playoff game and a favorite against a team that is significantly worse on the road vs. home losing Saturday night will be a disappointment regardless of whatever expectations some had back in August.

as of Wednesday night Eagles only home team to sell out this weekend. NFL blackout rules are fucking archaic though. makes zero sense from a marketing standpoint to blackout a game where less casual fans would be more inclined to watch. it's 2014 for crying out loud. time to put those blackout rules out to pasture. hell I actually think the NFL should be televising every game each weekend (which they almost do with anyway with the Red Zone).

offense really needs to execute much better in this game than the Cowboys game. I think it is going to take at least 24 to win this game.

If you are going to be in the 1st weekend there is no better time than playing Saturday night at 8:00. it's the perfect night and time for a playoff game in my opinion.

yet another new wrinkle to offense last week: the sweep--

LeSean McCoy is the NFC offensive player of the month

Posted by Josh Alper on January 2, 2014, 10:26 AM EST

The Eagles are getting ready for the first playoff game of the Chip Kelly era, but Thursday brings an opportunity to look back at the past performance of one of their offensive stars.

Running back LeSean McCoy has been named the NFC offensive player of the month for December. McCoy ran for 598 yards and two touchdowns on 101 carries and added another score on one of his 18 catches to help the Eagles close the season with a 4-1 record and the NFC East title.

McCoy finished the year as the league’s leading rusher, picking up 1,607 yards on 314 carries. Those are both career highs as Kelly gave the ball to McCoy early and often this season, which makes for a sharp contrast to the criticisms that Andy Reid heard in Philly for his often sparing use of McCoy.

McCoy is the first Eagles running back to take home the monthly honor and he takes the prize home a month after quarterback Nick Foles was recognized for his play in November. Those back-to-back awards go a long way toward explaining how the Eagles were able to go from 3-5 to a playoff spot

That and this:

Oakland
GB w/o Rodgers
Washington
Arizona - nice one
Detroit
Minny
Chicago with Cutler
Dallas

(Vs. NE, Denver, KC and the mighty Giants and Cowboys in the first half)

Funny how the offense took off in the 2nd half of the season against the 4 worst and 6 of the 8 worst scoring Defenses in the league. Cause or effect?

Though, McCoy is awesome.

I have a large umbrella for all this rain your bringing down on me.

We could've lost to those teams and then what you be saying?

Show me how every other playoff team ended the season, I don't have time and don't feel like looking.

Agreed. I understand you play who you play and can't control that. All you can do is win. I was only trying to point out that there are reasons for going 7-1 in the 2nd half of the season and having 2 offensive players of the month.

Though I do think it's funny they are favorites on the sole prospect that NO sucks on the road. Issue is- note who THEY played on the road in the 2nd half (Carolina - 2nd best scoring D, St. Louis - 13th, Seattle 1st, Atlanta 27th). The one inexplicable one is 17 pts at Atlanta even though it's an indoor stadium, but 1) they won the game and 2) it was a short week.
