    they certainly had their deficiencies in the red zone and gave up way too many points. but despite all the injuries and personnel changes they finished 12th in overall total defense and 3rd in takeaways.

    But weren't they last in red zone defense or close to it? I think that is what killed them. I don't put too much stock in stats though. Look at what happened in Seattle to the #4 defense on Saturday. Everyone out there thought that Seattle was a pushover, except my lucky friend who pocketed some major cash on them..

    The Birds certainly turned in a good season after all the injuries this year!

    could be worse...we could be giant or cowboy fans.

    What's so bad about being a Cowboys fan? At least our team's year was decided by week 9 so they didnt get our hopes up and then not show up for a playoff game!

    Not to mention, we have the #9 pick in the draft and will most likely be looking into Asomugha.

    No shit! I just never saw that coming. I kept telling my buddy that he was crazy. He had Pitt (Panthers) and Seattle on a parlay..

    Edit: Straight up on Seattle!

    hahaha...are you seriously trying to rationalize that your pathetic 6-10 season was somewhat on par with a 10-6 division champion's? :lol::lol: (by the way--how did the eagles not show up? they had the ball in their hands with a chance to win it right at the end :? )

    i will assume you are joking here. congrats on the 9th pick though. i have full confidence jerry jones will screw it up somehow.

    I was and supposedly Jerry is giving Garrett the final say on decisions, right? :o That will be interesting to see him try and change the way he has been doing things forever..

    But seriously, it doesn't matter that you won the division. What does that get you if you tank the first game in the playoffs. I hate when fans (Cowboys included) wear their division champs gear all year long. Drives me nuts.

    wearing division champion gear is pretty pathetic dude.

    it's nothing new to win the division and be in the playoffs around here. expectations were lower in august but everyone is pretty disappointed today. beats the hell out of 6-10 though :lol:

    kolber news:

    As the regular season wound down, and it became increasingly clear that several NFL franchises would be upgrading their quarterback depth chart this offseason, Philadelphia Eagles QB Kevin Kolb emerged as a potential solution. Though Kolb showed some warts during limited action this season, he seems like a better option than anything some teams have returning for 2011. The main issue was whether the Eagles would be willing to deal Kolb -- given Michael Vick's penchant for not sliding, and generally taking big hits -- and at what price. [Editor's note: ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter wrote recently that the Eagles likely won't budge from their demand of two first-round picks].

    While the Eagles' stance may or may not have changed following the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Kolb has upped his rhetoric. Though he played the good teammate during the season, accepting his role behind Vick, Kolb now says that if he's not brought back in 2011 as the starter, he doesn't want to be brought back at all, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

    It wouldn't appear that many teams would be willing to pay the Eagles' hefty price of two first-rounders for Kolb. Moreover, unless and until there's a new collective bargaining agreement, no trades involving players can occur; therefore, teams that want to trade for Kolb will have to wait until there's a new CBA, and if it's after the draft, 2012 (and beyond) picks would be involved. Since the Eagles and the team acquiring Kolb wouldn't know the status of their future pick(s), this makes a trade trickier.

    Of the teams looking for a new QB, the most desperate appear to be the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans. But again, until the new CBA, Kolb will be staying put.

    so jaegs if this isn't neanderthal behavior than what would call it? not saying it doesn't happen other places because surely it does but this is the type of behavior i refer to when describing eagles fans as i do. i understand yelling and stuff at fans in other jerseys but vandalism of their cars, pathetic. it's hard to argue with my assessment of eagle fans.

    do you have any personal basis for this comment or do you just take what the national media tells you and run with it? plenty of incidents happen everywhere in the nfl, including a cleveland browns fan tackling a 9 year old this year. i was just putting this story out there because i've had discussions on here with jaegs about eagles fans and why i have no interest in actually attending an eagles game as long as they are on tv. i personally don't see eagles fans being any different than most other nfl stadiums, especially in the northeast.

    Again, season exceeded expectations. Just a shame there's a chance that there won't be any football next season and everything's up in the air again.
    Must be nice to have such low expectations.

    Personally I expect the Steelers to win the Super Bowl every year or I'm disappointed. (well I guess I didn't expect them to even make the playoffs this year so my expectations are really not much better, but now that they're in they'll probably lose to the Pats.)

    How about them Seahawks. ;)

    Like I've said before, we are assholes, and I'm glad that it's a shame that visiting fans can't come here. Stay the fuck out.

    They didn't show up against Minnesota though when they could have been playing for a bye.

    do you really expect me or any rational person to condone that kind of behaviour? believe it or not this kind of stuff happens in other cities too. are you going to start knocking philly fans for throwing snowballs at santa clause next? you sound like someone in the national media man.

    also, i'm not sure exactly what you think of me, but i can assure you i'm not in the demographic it sounds like you think i am.

    :?

    edit--my side window was smashed off while i was at the halloween pj show in '09. those damn neanderthal pearl jam fans :x :x :lol:
