Playoff Push

[JLee9718]

When Jason Taylor was injured, we had a good run defense. Now that he's playing, we can't seem to stop anyone. Whatever we gave up for Jason was way too much, but that's what we've always done. By the way, we didn't let the Cowboys score but 14 points in the second game, so we should have won that one. Now we have to find a way to beat the Giants this week.

Lets talk about a team that won't make it ....lol....the Eagles. Someone told me that after McNoodle got benched he cheared and clapped when the opposing team intersepted the ball. Did anyone else see this also?

I saw it. Kobb threw a pick and the camera went to McNabb...standing with his jacket on, applauding.

What a jerk.

What a jerk.

That highlight was talked about last night on ESPN (or maybe CBS) and McNabb was cheering on Kolb (i.e., the "we'll be alright, we'll get them next time refrain), not clapping like an a-hole.

While I agree McNabb wasn't cheering for the Kolb INT, he was standing there offering no encouragement most of the time, and was even caught on camera yawning a few times, sulking around with his head down.

Yawning? Really? I'm sorry Donovan, is the demise of you, your team, and your coach boring you? I'm tired of him.

Yes, Donovan has never shown himself to be an a-hole before.

You a closet Eagles fan?

Donovan has shown the world that he isn't the same QB that he was a few years ago, didn't know games could end in ties, and may be a little sensitive to criticism, but, to my knowledge, he's never acted like an a-hole in public.

I'm not Eagles fan by any means, but I have respect for Reid and McNabb, notwithstanding whatever shortcomings they may each have.

Indeed. I've grown to hate McNabb strictly because of his general success as the starting QB for a team I hate, but the fact is that he's pretty much been a stand-up guy since he's been in this league. You could probably count with one hand the number of players in the NFL who would actually go so far as to deliberately applaud their own team's misfortune in a game, and McNabb is not one of those players. C'mon.

Never mind it's on the NFL network where the coach names McNoodle to start. It shows Cobb throwing an interseption and McNoodle clapping afterward but it looks more like he is just clapping and shaking his head like "man we can't catch a break."

I think, though, if one thing is clear, it's that: beat the Giants, and we're pretty much in the playoffs.

With the defense being #3 overall and #1 in the NFC. I feel good about their chances of getting in the playoffs and making some noise. However, the offense must pick up there end.

A good team is going to be kept out of the playoffs. We're competing with Carolina, Tampa, Atlanta, and Dallas for the last two playoff spots. Right now, I'd say we have a 50-50 shot of making the playoffs.

A lot of those other teams i.e. NO, ATL, TAM and CAR will be knocking each other off. Also, I would not be surprised if SEA beats DAL this Thanksgiving.

I wouldn't count out the Saints yet either. They seem to be getting hot at the right time. Brees was amazing last night.

Good point. All in all, I'm pretty damn happy with the season. I'd like to see our offense improve, but we're a very respectable team and I only see things getting better as Zorn, Campbell and our young receivers continue to develop. But, we've got a tough road to hoe if we want to make the postseason.
