Just wondering if McNabb has checked himself into a hospital with a "concussion" too this morning :)

No frogtard, Philly didn't even try.  The defense doesn't prevent you from running a wide array of plays, they prevent you from gaining yards.  The fact that an offense is one dimensional makes it easier for the defense.

Really... how many times did the Eagles even try to thrown down field?  5 step drop to throw to Duece at the line of scrimage... only to be tackled by the linebacker that's been shadowing him since late in the 1st quarter for a 2 yard gain.  Oooo... let's get tricky and have Duece stand out by the sideline and catch a pass at the line of scrimage... only to be immediately tackled by the same linebacker.

Wanna run?  How many times do you recall seeing Philly's running back run straight up the middle, 1 yard right into a blob of linemen.  Hell... half the time he wasn't even tackled, he just stopped cause there was no place left to go.  Hardly any pitches and attempts to do an end-around.  So few that I can't really remember any.

It was the most cowardly offense I've seen ran in a long time.

What happened when the raiders tried to pass downfield on the bucs. Besides a few garbage time TD's they dug themselves a hole from int's returned for TD's. Keep talking down the bucs defence. Its funny.

Well, sure, everyone does. I back up the Washington State Cougars when they're playing, except when they play Washington University.  But, did you wear a Buccs cap or shirt around for the years they sucked? No? Then you're a BAND_WAGON_JUMPER :)

Yeah, just ribbing ya. ;)  I'm still a Seachicken fan, but I rarely attend games these days due to family life (which includes usually includes 1 Seahawk game a year)

Joe was playing way over his head. I still wouldn't count on good, consistent fantasy numbers.

hey eagler did you hear anything about a rocket launch last night. I was driving home right after the game over the bay bridge and saw something launch from the direction of the cape.  Huge flame across the sky, then 2 boosters broke off as you could see it accend into space.

Not talking down the bucs defense at all.  Just not using it as an excuse for what the Eagle's did last night.

If they'd thrown down the middle or out to the sidelines and dug themselves a hole at least they would have been trying.  Risk nothing, lose nothing but gain nothing offense is the coward's way out.  

You need to learn a little more about the game froggy.  Learn the difference between the defense stopping someone and the offense not even trying.

Wow Rip... did you just say that you learn about football through osmosis?  Hard to argue with that one... especially coming from someone that lives in Seattle and calls the Huskies "Washington University".

oh...
