!!!YEAH!!!

With a 3rd string QB......WIN!!! You would not believe how frigid it was pounding beers in the parking lot....but then finally getting into the VET and watching the game we all warmed up. My last Eagles game at the VET was a good one,....sigh, no more 700 level antics! I am sure the Cowgirls(and the rest of the NFL) think that our new stadium will be less rowdy then good ole' Veterans Stadium but I sincerely doubt it!! Philly fans are Philly fans no matter where we are watchin games.

arbn keep the Cuban Honey's for yourself, I got my own stash coming in from Western PA. As for the game props to the Eagles for not losing. What was there 9 total turnovers? Feeley didn't lose the game and that's all that counts. The defense stepped up and won the game for the Birds. Warner, I'm afraid, is done. I think his throwing hand will never heal properly. And are you saying that box seat Philly fans are just as rowdy as the bleacher fans? I can't believe that.

GO RAIDERS!!! Brown 1,000 receptions,Rice 14 1,000 yd seasons. Gannon ties record for 300 yd games in 1 season with 4 games left. He will break the record. I have to admit the jets defence looked pretty good the 1st half. But in the third quarter after brown got 1,000 receptions and the next pass to Rice for a TD. That was when the momentum went to the Raiders and never went back.They also pretty much didnt let the Jets run. Good game! Except for the penalties. I guess Ive gotten used to those. Not bad for a bunch of old Men!! Hehehe Mag

Farve is pretty damn good. I think if you werent in a weak division things might be a little different for the Packers this season. Not to say they wouldnt be contenders. But they get to play the teams in their Div 2 times each. Those other teams really arent very good. How would you like to play Chargers or Denver a couple of times each. Just my opinion. Mag

Mag the Chiefs may be 6-6, but I would not leave them out of the mix of tough teams to play in AFC West..........they still get a second shot at San Diego, Denver and Oakland (last game of season and could decide AFC West)

Charlie, sorry for leaving your team out of the mix. They still are tough. I hope the Chiefs take care of Denver & SD. Just wanna warn You though, no Mercy when we meet! Mag

Mag,

When Chiefs and Raiders play, the records and past do not mean anything, except TENSE RIVALRY and hard fought game!!! Chiefs have lost in last minutes and in overtime due to weakness of defense and while they are weak on defense, they are among youngest in league on defense!!! They will eventually come around.

What they do have is best offensive line in NFL, and some of the best offensive weapons in league....Priest Holmes and Tony Gonzalez for example!!!! Will be a great game and KC should also be 7-5 or 8-4 right now, but we will see how they handle the final four games. Losing to Seahawks was a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Chiefs and maybe the NFL Super Bowl champion come from the AFC West!!!!

Oh, and congrats to Raiders on last nite's victory and their continuing dominance of Monday Night Football. I also believe Bret Farve, ex Univ of Southern Mississiippi great, is the very best player in NFL!!!!

Mag, has Favre been in a weak division for the last 10 years?? Brett has come to work everyday for the last 10 years...while playing the game's most vulnerable position. That is his most impressive static.

I agree but dont forget its a team sport. Farve is awesome but cant do it alone. Gannon is awesome too. But without Rice,Brown,Porter & especially our offencive line which is awesome, Its hard to be a great QB. Mag

Charlie I agree with your point that rivalries change the game & make it more competitive even if the won/loss records are different. I hope the chiefs put up a good fight against the Raiders. It makes victory that much sweeter for who ever wins it. I think the Raiders offence is one of the most potent when they are in sync. Penalties hurt us though. Get rid of the penalties and not to many teams can beat the Raiders. On defence we need charles woodson to stay healthy. He seems to get hurt easily lately. Im keeping my fingers crossed. Go Raiders!! Mag

Making his team great, is what makes a QB great. For example, McNabb. The eagles have a talented team, yes. However, they lack the big names such as Rice, Brown, etc. But the greatness of McNabb forces the others to step up and play at his level.

When it comes down to the playoffs...records mean nothing. Who has how many 1000 yard games? Who's thrown for 300 yards how many times in a season? Who cares. Who wins when it counts? That's all that matters.

Let's stop this trash talking until we have some reason to talk. It's only a few weeks away. Then we can make fun of the Raiders for falling apart again 🙂 Woooo!

i.am.steve, Boy you sure seem to be all hyped up about my post. What trash talking? Facts talking is what it is not speculation. I never said that that made a difference in the playoffs. And one other thing. You couldnt have picked a worse example of Mcnabb. who hasnt played for 2 weeks and they havent lost so dont say he is the reason.A 3rd stringer won it for them this week. That means his teamates are stepping up and taking care of business. Mello out dude. You remind me of me when I get a little excited. Mag

I am joking Magnafide. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. I am neither excited nor upset. I am having a good time on the forum, as should you.

And by the way...McNabb tore teams up on his own while he was playing. His running game was unstoppable. I mean come on now, the man played an entire game on a broken ankle and you couldn't stop him. He was/is a GREAT example.

And yes, his team has stepped it up.

i.am.steve. Hey its sometimes hard for me to tell who is just having fun & who is just starting an argument just for the sake of arguing. I appreciate you posting your intentions. I just wanna have fun too! McNabb did show great guts playing hurt. I think you underestimate the rest of your team though. Your team hasnt skipped a beat even without McNabb.A buddy of mine is a big eagles fan and told me that your 3rd stringer is better than Depner! Good Luck. Mag

McNabb is the man. I followed him through all four years at the 'CUSE and he dazzled me then and he continues to dazzle me now. I knew Philly would come to love DNabb he has a great work ethic and he loves the game. I had the pleasure to attend some Orange (Syracuse) practices and he would just go off. I do agree that how McNabb goes so goe the Eagles but as long as the back-ups play within their own game and the defense plays as good as they are they will continue to win. People doubted Koy Detmer, I know his size is a facture but he's got a lot of heart and he his a decent QB. At Colorado I think he lost maybe 4 games in his 2 years of starting QB. He was probably the best passing QB in Colorado history. McNabb is the best QB in SU history. He is the MAN. But then what do I know, when I talk smack it's not football or NFL related.
