View Full Version : Will the Eagles EVER win a super bowl?
Halcyon 11-01-2006, 07:43 PM Granted, I live in the SF Bay area around Niner and Raider fans my whole life. As I grew up, I realized I never really cared for either team, essentially because it was like band-wagoning. I started watching Cunningham and White and the rest of the Eagles back in 1995 and decided I liked the direction they were going.
I've been an Eagles fan ever since. I learned about the disheartening SUPER BOWL loss back in 1980 with Jaworski and the crew and then again with McNabb. Of course, I think they won maybe a super bowl or championship or two back when the NFL first started but I am not sure off hand.
Question to Eagles fans: Do you think we can do it? Sometime in my lifetime? Or do you think we had our chance and McNabb is just not going to do it for us?
And did anyone else wanna punch Andy Reid in the face after hearing we were gonna pick up T.O. (Totally wOrthless?) from the Niners?
thosefnguys 11-01-2006, 08:39 PM Sorry, Halcyon, but you're SOL for awhile.
It's not that McNabb isn't good enough, b/c Lord knows he is. But a really good QB [I hesitate on the adjective "great"] can't lead a team on his own. Chemistry is also a HUGE part, and unfortunately, that Cancer-stick known as TO came in and basically ripped your team to shreds. There was a division amongst your team itself, those for McNabb, and those for TO.
Going to the SuperBowl is really, for even decent teams, a "once in a decade" shot. And after the team was eviscerated, you guys are done for awhile. I'd like to think McNabb could go again [as he is a fellow Chicagoan], but I seriously doubt it. What you have is a Flutie. Really Good QB, who had a shot, but extraneous factors fucked him.

That's exactly why I wanted to punch Andy Reid in the face when I heard TO was coming. I saw how he dismantled the teamwork of the niners and said, oh shit... just when they were coming together as a team and playing really well. They made it to the championship a couple of years in a row WITHOUT him. Now they can barely win regular season games. I'm glad TO is in dallas, couldn't have happened to a better bunch of assholes... good luck Dallas fans!
You're gonna find out first hand what the niners and eagles know really well. Let him rip your QB a few times and complain to the rest of the team about how he never gets the ball, and then if he gets no sympathy from the locker room, he gets on TV and ESPN and runs his fucking mouth. That does WONDERS for your team morale!

thosefnguys 11-02-2006, 02:23 PM 2 years ago, though, TO may have held the spotlight and started the cancer, but you have to give him credit that he did propel the eagles ino the spotlight. He just wreaked havoc and left the team in shambles when he was done. I think Andy reid bringing him in was a good decision for that year, but he needed to be cut immediately thereafter.

I disagree, as I pointed out before, the team had already been to the championship twice BEFORE TO showed up. I will give you this though. I think having TO on the team helped them reach the Super Bowl, not because of his talent, but because of the confidence of him being ON the team. Everyone knows he is a talented motherfucker! I just wish he'd spend half the time he does running his mouth on playing football.... He'd be breaking records left and right!
He is a cancer, I've never seen a player waste so much talent!
The Eagles didn't NEED him to be in the spotlight, but he did help their confidence. And when all is said and done, he left the team in FAR worse shape then they were in before. It's like they have to start ALL over and learn how to play as a team, and re-learn how to trust McNabb again!
timdawg6 11-02-2006, 05:15 PM You guys had the chance in the life time to win a superbowl, but your QB started throwing up and Your Coach has no concept of Time management, you guys will never win with Andy Reid

I hate to admit it, but I think you're right. If we had a coach like Dennis Green, maybe.
I've been calling for Reid's resignation since the super bowl fiasco.
The problem I have with T.O though really was, everyone SAW what happened. Everyone SAW McNabb choked. But it was his FIRST super bowl appearance! How many people have choked the first time in the big game?! Everyone SAW it, the Eagles fans KNEW it, but this asshole T.O. had to get on NATIONAL TELEVISION and SAY it!
That's fucked up, I don't care who you are or what team you're on, don't get on national television after losing the biggest game in the season and BASH the captain of your team. Utter garbage, T.O. is utter garbage.
jerryjr99 11-02-2006, 05:43 PM I would have to say they will NEVER
Hey Now MoFo 11-02-2006, 06:10 PM Not just the Eagles, but any major sports team in this city. The last championship was by the Sixers in 83. I was 5 years old and can not remember it. Every year passes and we just keep waiting.
lampkinsr 11-02-2006, 08:06 PM Looks like if they don't do it by next year, they will probably start going through a rebuilding phase with a new quarterback and/or coaching staff. I don't see them winning the big one anytime soon.

I doubt McNabb is going anywhere, he's still a very good quarterback and he is slowly re-earning the trust of his teammates back. Andy Reid however may be looking for a job soon. He hasn't been able to do it, EVER. He's come close, but he can't close the deal.
Finolizard 11-03-2006, 01:55 AM Andy Ried should atleast fire that fucking game chart of his... You can only try to script the first drive or 2 after that make adjustments, try watching the fucking game... Andy has completely pissed me off the last couple of games... If the Bucs can win a fucking superbowl in my lifetime, I know the Eagles can... And as for T.O. he can rot in hell, that shit sucking dirtbag.

YYYEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! That's what I'm fucking talking about! How about a few changes to the goddamn chart!!! Let's try a few flea flickers or something! Let's pull out some of those wacked out fucking plays no one talks about! Let's do something to keep everyone on their fucking toes, not the same boring plays over and over, it's no wonder every defense picks up on them the second half!!
The eagles are the KINGS of winning the first half and then NOT changeing their fucking play schedule so that the opposing defense gets them timed down and then they LOSE THE SECOND HALF!!
How about winning the fist half and then changing the fucking play book so we can win a fucking second half one of these days! ARGH Damn you Andy Reid!
Fuck the Eagles!! I hate the fans, I hate the city, I hate Donovan McScab!!!!! The fans dont know shit about football, the city smells like shit,and the dirtbags living there are literally pieces of shits walking around with nothing to do .No objective in life whatsoever!

lobdsterarms 11-03-2006, 10:20 PM the eagles suck.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!
studhub 11-03-2006, 10:58 PM They had there best teams in 02-04. Gonna be a while before they are that good again.
Everybody thought this about Denver at one time, too. This current team is unlikely to even make a bowl at this point I imagine, but they will rebuild like everybod else and while it will hurt (just ask Packers fans) they'll have their shot again.
