another good win for the birds. i was expecting a close one and that's what we had.
the defense has got to play better. but you have to cut them a little slack due to all the injuries. they did clamp down in the 2nd half though.
another come back win the 4th quarter by d mac. he looked really sharp down the stretch. maclin and big play jason avant came up huge yet again.
hopefully d jack and celek will not miss too much time.
i heard someone say this on the radio on the drive home and i think it fits: this team really resembles the '01 eagles. they really have rebuilt right under our noses without getting really awful. lots of young players making significant contributions. the big difference is that the offense is carrying this team will the d carried that one. and, obviously, we have a more seasoned and mature 5....which is only a good thing.
7-4 and the #1 wildcard seed if the playoffs ended today. right about where i expected them to be. looks like they have have caught a big break with matty ice and turner banged up for next week as well...

get to the playoffs and anything can happen.
Avant has been great as a 3rd receiver this year. he goes down the middle and flat out catches the ball - very few drops by him. can now understand why Celek couldn't catch yesterday - he was terrible for that one stretch in the 3rd quarter but I guess the hand played a part in that.
win the next 2 and you are pretty much a lock for the playoffs.

even if they split the next two, i think we win the last 3 and that last game will be for the division....
dallas has the giants, san diego (drink it in) and the saints before losing to us on january 3rd. i smell a division crown...
let's go people! all aboard the late season push.
if i gotta drive this train i'll do it. let's go! giddy up! c'mon!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
No Ryan and Turner is out
Any word on D-Jax and Celek ?
celek is supposed to play. i would bet jackson will miss this week.
what i originally had down as a loss has turned into a must win with ryan and turner both out...regardless of if jackson plays. they need this one now.
it will be interesting to see the crowd's reaction to vick too.
It was done just in case you all lost that way you'd be able to blame an idiotic coach for putting you in a hole. Instead you win and are easily going to the playoffs b/c the rest of the NFC East sucks.
yup it's luck we are 7-4 and looking good for the playoffs
Huh? I never said you were lucky...marginally good in a weak division perhaps, but the Eagles really haven't been lucky this season.
so still no hype about this team yet? :think: :think:
Meh. Ya never know what can happen. Atlanta's got Redman going, and Turner out so we better win.
I think we see a lot of Vick this week - not just because he's in the ATL, but because we're down to 3 WR's and they're going to need more offensive options.
I think there's numerous reasons why people aren't excited about the Eagles right now. First being they are right about where they should be maybe a game less even(oak). Secondly people have seen this story many of times before and know the ending already(d-mac chokes in the clutch) and Reids poor clock management costs us another game we should have won. Next is they haven't exactly looked impressive in there last couple of wins, barely beating chicago and a beat up skins team was harder then it should have been. I understand we have injuries as well but we have so much talent on this roster that we should be 8-3 or 9-2. I feel that once this team beats a good team in a meaningful game then people might have a little more faith,but right now talking to friends and others NO ONE believes this season will be any different. I'm still hopeful that we can get hot and actually run the table,time will tell. GO BIRDS!!!!
hell, I'm still excited about this team! I love my team, and I love an underdog...I feel like so many people have wiped their hands clean of the Birds and are already counting them out...screw that!!
I'm also excited that I'm in Hawaii...and Sunday is my birthday...AND the game will start at 800am for me!!!!!!!!

You pretty much summed up my feelings
Wouldn't be shocked if they tank or shocked if they ran the table
Make the playoffs and see what happens !!

now if they can only get healthy...
Young talent is nice but a new coach and qb in the near future might be the answer. Im rooting this team on don't get me wrong but far from excited right now. Im still screaming every sunday at the tv and ill always be supportive but im just alot more realistic now.

well you aint gonna get a new coach as they are most likely extending him for another 3 or 4 years so... this is the realitiy, like it or not. and donny is still a top 10 qb. so i don't want to make a change there if we don't have to.
but look, our o line is starting to jell at the right time. winston justice, god bless him, is actually turning into a serviceable right tackle. we have more overall weapons on offense than at anytime in the reid/mcnabb era (yes, more than 2004)....if the defense can get healthy, we can make some noise down the stretch and in the playoffs....playoffs?!?!
with that said----next year, with stu back in the middle, witherspoon on the weakside, and hopefully a new pass rushing beast on the other side of trent cole...i really think we could be a dominant team. this year's team reminds me a lot of the '01 team in that we have so many young guys contributing and the team's moving in the right direction...

i'm sure there are some on here dissapointed we did not win by 50 points today. :roll: but, another solid win for the birds.
i'm really liking the balanced attack. leonard weaver is an absolute beast.
the defense keeps getting better and better.
and for all of you saying "yeah yeah yeah....they haven't beat anyone"......i encourage you to open your eyes and take a good look around the nfl this year. the team we should have dismantled last week? yeah, they took the saints to overtime. the pathetic raiders team that we lost to? yeah, they beat the defending champions in their own backyard. this is the nfl in 2009. there are about 2 or 3 great teams and bunch of other teams a notch below who, if recent history is any indicator, have a great shot once the playoffs start.
this team is clearly moving in the right direction. wouldn't surprise me if we won out. realisitically i see us at 11-5 with a division crown and hosting a playoff game for the first time in 3 years.
confidence levels are high. all aboard ladies and gentlemen. this train's leaving soon.....
Great game defensivly! Offense should have put more points on the board. they were in the red zone like 4 times and only came away with one touchdown and 2 field goals.

you were done with this team a few weeks ago weren't you? 8-4 looks pretty good. not the best team right now but playing pretty well even though banged up. Hopefully get a bit healthier on defense and going to be a tough out the rest of the way. Beat the Giants and Cowboys and division is ours.
I would never give up on the eagles. And i wouldnt be suprised if they went on a run like last year. But i do think its time for change and there are many good coaches sitting out there at the moment. Andy Reid is a damn good coach but his way wins games not titles. D-Mac is the greatest Eagles qb ever but he wins games not titles. And i know u have to win games to even sniff a title but its the same story with the same ending. I will root for this team like they are 9-0 but in my opinion think that even if they make a run and make it to the superbowl next year change is needed.
No never gave up u have the wrong person buddy. nice try though. I might believe that these 2 can't win us a superbowl but never ever gave up. And just because i think they can't win us a bowl dosen't mean I'm right.

never have i understand the age old argument of "you cannot win a championship with so and so."
if that's what you believe, then what's the point in watching anyway if you are so convinced the ultimate goal will never happen? makes no sense to me.

the defense has got to play better. but you have to cut them a little slack due to all the injuries. they did clamp down in the 2nd half though.
another come back win the 4th quarter by d mac. he looked really sharp down the stretch. maclin and big play jason avant came up huge yet again.
hopefully d jack and celek will not miss too much time.

7-4 and the #1 wildcard seed if the playoffs ended today. right about where i expected them to be. looks like they have have caught a big break with matty ice and turner banged up for next week as well...
