NewbieJr 541 Posted January 12, 2009 I have to go back to work, but I'm sure NewbieJr will be around to continue the discussion. Because he has no job. This is true, but I have somewhere to be this afternoon. Right now, I have to go upstairs and get my cute on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted January 12, 2009 McNabb is arguably the best qb in eagles history, but I don't think he's really made much of a reputation for being "clutch". He's come up big in some moments, but there's been some unpleasantness as well. While this may be true, Joe Montana (widely believed to be the best clutch QB ever) has seven playoff losses. I don't remember anyone saying he choked in any of those. None of McNabb's five playoff losses ever came with him being as big of a favorite as Brady's loss to the Giants last year. That was a monumental choke job. I'm pretty sure people still consider him to be a pretty clutch QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Next Generation 10 Posted January 12, 2009 The problem is that faggity McNabb has never gotten over it. He constants whines about it in interviews, as recently as last year. The fans booed me. No, you lunkhead, they were booing management. Dammit, McNabb has a head full of pudding. What a mook. Troy Aikman said it best yesterday after Mr. Glass picked up the phone trying to be funny, "I don't know what goes through that guy's head sometimes..." McNabb is arguably the best qb in eagles history, but I don't think he's really made much of a reputation for being "clutch". He's come up big in some moments, but there's been some unpleasantness as well. Agreed on all points quoted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillybear 366 Posted January 12, 2009 Parity pushed Carolina, Titans, Giants, Atlanta, Minnesota to all those meaningless, useless Wins during the season.....where are these "above average teams" ? If the Eagles are average (like you say), how do we refer to the teams that didn't make the playoffs ? There are 26 teams watching the Final Four, 4 out of 26. In short, you're either an idiot, not understanding the definition of "average", or you're incredibly biased/twisted in your comments......either way, do us a favor and stop posting as we're all getting dumber. The best teams don't always make the playoffs. Plenty of average teams make it, while New England sits at home. The best teams don't always advance. Sigh. I forbid you from reading any more of my posts and demand that you put me on ignore. If I find out that you read another brilliant word that I posted, there will be trouble.

Carolina, no. Atlanta, no. NY, no. Dallas, no. Minnesota, no. GB, no. Bears, no. These teams ALL had their chances this year and all failed....in one form or another.

KSB2424 3,148 Posted January 12, 2009 Lets face it, the Eagles are playing okay right now but let's not get carried away. They dismantled an underachieving Wade Phillips let Cowboy team. Beat a Minny team lead by Tavaris Jackson, and beat a Giants team that has not been any good since Plaxico fired a bullet in his leg. In other words Philly has had the road cleared for them to suceed. Good for them, but even a blind squirrel finds nut every once in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the Eagles beat the Vikings and the Giants in the last two weeks, it can be argued they were the better team on those weekends. Can we say the Eagles are better than those other teams? Don't be silly. As you said, "right now". Are the Eagles better than Carolina or Atlanta right now? No. But that is speculative. The more important point is that you have no grounds on how to argue that the Eagles are BETTER than those teams right now without the Eagles actually playing them.

In other words Philly has had the road cleared for them to suceed. Good for them, but even a blind squirrel finds nut every once in a while. Other than the games in the middle of the year when Romo was out, Dallas wasn't considered to be underacheiving. In fact, they started playing very well around Thanksgiving and beat the Giants the week before the Eagles game. After the 44-6 ass-whooping, suddenly the Cowboys were quitters and underacheivers. The Vikings, admittedly, were a weak playoff team, but the game was on teh troad in a dome. Not the easiest of circumstances. They then beat the defending world champs in their house for the second time in five weeks. As for Burress, I'd gladly give New York Plaxico in exchange for a 100% healthy Westbrook. You can try to minimize it as much as you want, but the Eagles are playing awesome football right now. They've won 6 of 7, with 5 of the 6 coming against playoff football teams. They are doing it the right way, too, with great defense, and mistake free leadership on offense. The Tampa Bay loss to get them in was 100% luck. The rest has been good old fashioned ass-kicking at its finest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why we use brackets....it's a process of elimination down to the last team standing, ie. the team that DIDN'T LOSE. or for this year 2008, Eagles and Cardinals. ALL the others LOST.

OD99 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Who cares what the stats are? Just like the "algebra" of winning in a bracket system can be subjective stats can be subjective as well. Just a quick example...NYG avg 5.0 yds per play BUT how much did they average when they absofockinglutely required 1 or 2 yards to keep drives alive? I would say they averaged about 1 yd when it really mattered...they got the 4th down conversion early (still had to settle for a FG) and were shut down after that. The NYG had every reason to win that game yesterday - brilliant opening kick return, fantastic D that limited the Eagles to ~ 15yds in the first half (before final drive) but the Eagles TEAM played better. Special teams did it when it counted, the D was amazing and the run game did just enough as the game wore on to make the TOP fairly even...great effort by the Eagles team all around.

mighty_thor 115 Posted January 12, 2009 McNabb literally choked on his own vomit in the biggest game of his life. He has benefitted by playing with a strong team in a weak conference over the past 7 or 8 years. He is almost better off losing to the Cardinals in a shoot out than making it to the super bowl this year. Because whatever NFC team makes it to the Super Bowl is going to get eaten alive by the defense of the Ravens or Steelers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted January 12, 2009 here are the stats that matter: 7/14 - Eagles 3rd down conversions 3/13 - Giants 3rd down conversions 2/5 - Eagles redzone effeciency 0/3 - Giants redzone effeciency and the only stat that really matters: 23 - 11 Anything else is just trying to delude ones self into thinking that their team did better than it really did. The bottom line it that the Eagles got into the endzone 2 times and the Giants got there none.

McNabb has had one of the worst collections of receivers in the NFL his entire career, with no running game to help ease the D off (Westy is great but the Eagles of the past haven't the kept D honest against the run, with our without Westy) yet he consistently makes plays, doesn't turn the ball over and more than anything else, he helps his TEAM WIN. 5th NFC Conference Championship game in 8 years is ASTOUNDINGLY IMPRESSIVE, no matter how the haters want to colour it.

Ask Big Ben..the Eagles literally knocked him out of the game in Week 3. Eagles only had 9 sacks that game and held the Steelers to 6 points. I wouldn't be soo quick to say how great the AFC is.

jgcrawfish 232 Posted January 12, 2009 A team can also have a bunch of drives, some of them long ones, which inflate their stats but end up with a whopping 9 pts of offense: New York Giants (12-4-0) 1st Quarter Start Time Time Poss Drive Began # of Plays Net Yards Result 15:00 5:01 PHI 35 9 31 Field Goal 07:43 0:13 NYG 13 1 0 Interception 05:58 4:00 NYG 21 6 14 Punt 00:03 1:45 NYG 36 4 14 Punt 2nd Quarter Start Time Time Poss Drive Began # of Plays Net Yards Result 12:34 3:41 NYG 32 8 40 Missed FG 03:58 2:25 NYG 20 7 63 Field Goal 3rd Quarter Start Time Time Poss Drive Began # of Plays Net Yards Result 14:08 1:35 PHI 33 5 16 Field Goal 07:45 3:25 NYG 31 7 40 Missed FG 4th Quarter Start Time Time Poss Drive Began # of Plays Net Yards Result 14:56 2:27 NYG 24 5 20 Downs 10:22 3:54 NYG 11 7 37 Downs 03:58 0:43 NYG 27 3 23 Interception 02:04 1:06 NYG 21 4 19 Fumble I'll take "Teams Who Kicked the Other Teams Ass Despite Having Lesser Stats" for $500 Alex!

GhostofMeanMachine99 1 Posted January 12, 2009 Hasselbeck is 3x the QB McNabb is when it comes to playoff times. While Hasselbeck is constantly credited with carrying Seattle on his back in playoff games, I have never, not once, never, never, never heard anyone praise McNabb for winning a game for the Eagles. Except for Eagle fans. Typically, it's "well, if McNabb didn't play so poorly, the Eagles might have won." Funniest thing I've ever read. Like laugh out loud funny. Funny as in ridiculous.
