Philly vs. Arizona-Good sign, bad sign or sign of danger?

Paintrain · 01-11-2009, 06:14 PM

Since we beat both NFC Championship teams does that mean

A. It's a good sign meaning we're right there with the best in the conference?

B. It's a bad sign meaning we may have as much talent to play with those teams but for some reason we're still not good enough to consistently compete?

C. It's a sign of danger because the front office will think that we're this close to being a Super Bowl team.

What do you think?

It means nothing.

"ass much talent" Nice

I think it's a good sign that we can compete with the best of the conference, but it could also serve as a wake up call that we're this close but also this far away. Either way, it shouldn't (I hope) affect our plans

All it means is anything can happen in the playoffs.

Yup , the Eagles beat the Giants today now the #1,2,and 3 seed of the NFC are all out which bows well fro the AFC.We were out played but more important we were out coached today AR beat Coughlin all the way around the board.I'll be rooting for the Steelers becuase McNabb is so classless I just can't root for him.

The QB sneak call was horrible. You've got Jacobs back there and you run Eli over Jacobs??

Why the hate for McNabb??

I wouldn't even say you were outplayed. It seems like this past few weeks that the Eagles have caught teams on their worst games of the season. I swear the Cardinals better freaking take it to them.

Malcolm. It's obvious you hate the Eagles as most Skins fans do or should but I have to agree with Giantone. The Giants were out played. You can't take it away from the Eagles. There Defence has stepped up. Asanti Samuels. Dawkins and the rest have brought this team back and forced other teams to play their worst football IMO.

I think if any team caught teams on a bad day, it was the Giants. Not taking it away from them as they are a great team. But, not as good as the Eagles.
And certainly not as good as last years NE team.
Sorry to add fuel to the fire. But that's the way I see it

But then again I've been called a closet Eagles fan. (Complements of Giantone) Not true of course.

I pick letter C. I would like to think they would say it means nothing we still have goals we need to accomplish, but I truely think the powers that be will sit back and look at who was in the final games especially the NFC play off game and say ...." We beat both teams so we can't be that far off. I don't think the Skins would have had a chance with any of the AFC teams who were in the playoffs. Baltimore beat us, Pittsburge beat us, I have no doubt San Diego would have beaten us, Miami is the only question.

Theres a big difference in playing ok at the begining of the season and getting stronger and playing great at the begining and getting weaker until you suck.

DynamiteRave · 01-11-2009, 08:21 PM

It means the Eagles better choke next week because if I have to hear Philly people talk about how the Eagles are such a great team, and they knew they were gonna do it all along and (enter some random bullshit taunt here), I think I might lose my mind.

Although if it's a Ravens v. Eagles super bowl (which would be pretty interesting to see) if the Eagles lose, I'd love rubbing it in all the Eagles fans faces.

Why turn the fact that we SWEPT PHILLY and BEAT ARIZONA a negative?
