    nope...that was me...and like I said back then and I'll repeat now...I love my birds and I bleed green but Andy and McNabb need to go if they werent going to change their stubborn ways...this is the team that SHOULD be shown every week...Andy finally seemed to listen a tad and look what happens with a change of philosophy...McNabb still needs to go at the end of the season but for now lets ride whatever we have...oh...and like I said back then...I wasnt going to nor did I ever really mean I would stop watching..I'm a sucker for my Birds

    I think Westbrook getting healthier is the reason the team is playing better and why there are running the ball better. and even a few weeks ago I don't think they were ever as bad as people tried to make them out to be. the fact is their division is brutal and they would probably win the other 3 NFC divisions. and to be honest, as good as the birds were today the Giants were just dreadful. but we will take it. still think they are coming up short but at least that awful Cleveland Monday night game next week has some meaning.

    agreed...but Buck could run the ball too...they said during the game that Andy Reid looked at ways coaches like Parcells and Gibbs ran their offenses and changed a bit of his philosophy...lets hope that calculates into a playoff and possibly a super bowl run this year

    and weren't you one of the couple of guys on here a few weeks ago saying you were done with this team and weren't going to watch any more? I guess the neers are coming back out. Not trying to be a dick or anything, just find it funny how everyone loves this team again.

    um, no.

    not trying to be a dick or anything but get your facts right before you attempt, wrongly so, to call somebody out.

    st joes sucks.

    lol....seriously as great as it is to see us back in the mix, it still makes me angry that we lost all those close games we should have won. and i still say that if we dont get in the playoffs, 10 wins or not, reid must be fired. there is no reason that this team needed to wait until december to play good, balanced football.

    Now this is a big if, but if the Eagles can beat the Giants Sunday, they control their playoff destiny. Because if they win out the Cowboys will not win all 3 of their upcoming games against the Steelers, Giants and Ravens.

    That would make the game the last week of the season a winner goes to the playoffs loser goes home game home against Dallas at the Linc.

    Well - the "if" came true. And Dallas just lost to the Steelers.

    The Eagles now virtually control their own destiny to make the last playoff spot. If they win out, all the help they need is for the Falcons to lose one of their next two games - either to the Bucs at home or the Viks on the road. If that happens, the Birds make the post season.

    that is correct. that saints win was HUGE for us today. it doesnt even matter if the skins win tonight so long as we beat them ourselves.

    none. doesn't matter though. if we win out, we will be 10-5-1 (and have 3 division wins). if we win out, all we need is for atlanta (8-5) to lose one more game.
    arizona won their division so they dont belong in this conversation.
    tampa or carolina (both 9-3) will win their division or take the first wild card spot.
    minnesota (8-5) is in the driver's seat to win the north.
    none of the other teams remaining (bears 7-6, cowboys 8-5, skins 7-5) can win more than 10 games either (assuming we win out). so if we do win out, we'll be a half game ahead of them and in the playoffs thanks to our tie.

    in your other post you mentioned its a big "if" to say "if the eagles win out." is it? we have a dreadful browns team coming to town next week on monday night. then we go to dc to play a skins team that is freefalling at this point. then we have the cowboys at the linc in basically a playoff game to get into the playoffs, and we all know how Big Game Tony plays in big games.

    all that said, yeah, i like our chances.

    because of the eagles tie against cincinnati there are no possible tie-breakers unless some of those teams themselves get a tie in the next few weeks. if they win at least 2 they will be either up a half game or down a half game.

    i sold them. but partly because i am unemployed and need cash! but not once did i say i would never watch them. so, no, your facts are incorrect.

    i think it will be more like 80-65. GO NOVA!

    yes that is going to be a great game i think. I actually like Nova in that one. I've seen Texas a few times, still trying to find a point guard - stuck between having Abrams play the point or shooting guard. Should be a fun one to watch though.

    to get back on topic - fully understand selling tickets for financial reasons especially in this brutal economy - it's just frustrating sometimes to see how this town gets so high and so low with this team. when they win everyone thinks they are going to win out and role in the playoffs, when they lose its the end of the world. it's somewhere in the middle with this team. hopefully they can win out and make the playoffs because there isn't anyone they can't play with. going to be brutal if they come up a half game short knowing the sucked against Cincy and the Bears.
