Good point, I didn't say it wasn't. Btw. Haynesworth rulz and you aren't allowed to jump on the bandwagon.

Other than a being a big win, on the road in Philly, where the defense looked much improved against one of the NFL's better offenses, where we got some good contributions from relatively new players, which pulled us into a lead for the division, this game was meaningless.

Yeah, by that time I was really suprised to see Kyle try to plug BBanks in by any means.

He is all yours. I am told his crotch is the best seat on the wagon...I hope you called shotgun on it.

Nice talk, Russ...

You talked about the people who said this was all luck and were completely negative (although I can't help but think about you defending Saden's Goat thread 5 minutes after we beat Dallas).

At the end of the day, I am with you. If you win a game that puts you in first place, it is a big game. My 3 year old could figure that out.

Well I must have missed that from SCP but I'm not sure he's thinking rationally tonight. He was so convinced all week we were going to lose, a Redskins W is probably messing with his head.

Apart from a Super Bowl win, I think its fine and good to have civilized discussions (even after a win) on where the team struggled and calling them out on it. I think that can be done while still appreciating/enjoying a win. And those like me, the "blind kool-aid drinkers" are capable of noticing our faults and where we need to improve.

It's all the "Oh my God, we're totally going to lose the game now" posts after a 7 yard gain on 2nd and 14 for the Eagles at their own 19 yard line trailing by two TDs late in the 4th that make no sense to me. I'm going to kind of call someone out here. I've seen a couple of games with someone here. And he couldn't be a nicer guy. But watching a game with him... I wanted to jump off the roof of a high-rise then fire a bullet in my mouth. It just took all the fun out of watching football.

Too distracted by Cutlers bad game and concussion.

I meant it didn't mean much in the sense of evaluating the "power" of this team. All this game showed is that we're more "powerful" than the Eagles, but only everrrrr so slightly. Both teams seem rather mediocre(Iggles with Kolb, that is.), and we've done NOTHING to show that we're better than mediocre.

Also, geniuses, here's the dude who really said this game was meaningless.

Just remember Pockets. The lease for the bandwagon is under my name. It would be in yours but you kept yelling at all the damn salespeople, and now we're left with a two person bandwagon

Now that's just crazy talk.

It's really nice to be acknowledged when you're a genius. That's very nice of you SCP. I wish more people on this board had your kindness and maturity.

All of our opponents so far haven't shown themselves to be world beaters, and we haven't stomped them like clearly superior teams should(Like the Jets did to the Bills today). It's either a nail biter or in the case of the Rams, a blowout for them.

Love the sarcasm, but it's obvious people are conveniently pointing fingers at me for calling the game "meaningless" when it's someone else.
