		<description><![CDATA[WOW!!! Talk about real hate and jealousy.  Not just &quot;lucky,&quot; but &quot;RIDICULOUSLY LUCKY&quot; at that.  I really, really do wish the Eagles would someday be &quot;lucky&quot; enough to have a QB that can really make some plays, some wide receivers that can, not only catch, but also make some plays, some special teams players that can, not only cover, but also cause the opponent to fumble.... heck let&#039;s wish that the Eagles someday are lucky enough to have a team that plays AND NOT TALK to the point that they actually win it all.

I&#039;m sorry but Super Bowl wins, unfortunately for you, don&#039;t come with asterisk to note things such as &quot;Brady didn&#039;t have enough time to stage a comeback so the Giants won&quot; or &quot;Giants are SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS because the Eagles did not even make the playoffs.&quot;

You do make a very good case at making yourself look like a sore loser though!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WHYYYYY!!  WHHYYY after last season would ANY EAGLE EVER TALK TO THE PRESS AGAIN????  No matter what they say, good, bad, indifferent, it will be a controversy and picked apart to the point of insanity.  VY made one stupid comment in passing, and hes a BACKUP and the entire season was branded on those comments. 

Even though Trent is RIGHT.....for those of you who disagree, the eagles were 5-1 in the division, and considering the Giants were a couple of RIDICULOUSLY LUCKY plays away from not making the playoffs, let alone the superbowl (They are officially the luckiest team on the planet)  The Eagles were inches away.....so were A LOT of other teams....so don&#039;t bother giving the Philly (or national) media what they want.  

After the &quot;Dream-Team&quot;  BS that went on last year, I would call for a media blackout if I were the Eagles.  NOTHING they say will ever go well for them, the press hates Reid&#039;s answers (or lack thereof) anyway, just don&#039;t bother with the press and go play ball.]]></description>

Who’s the leader in that locker room??? Michael Vick?? Enough said!!

Which is one of the reasons the Eagles have a very good chance of making it into the playoffs and hopefully win the Superbowl.  Now what&#039;s your point??]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess we&#039;re never going to hear the end of &quot;woulda,&quot; coulda,&quot; and &quot;shoulda&#039;s&quot; until next years Super Bowl champ is crowned.  What Cole said is nothing new, but like someone mentioned here, these types of comments lend themselves to ridicule and scrutiny easily.

You can see that most posts here, from Eagles fans, no doubt, include the word IF.  I understand that that somehow makes people feel better at the end of the day.... IF only they won one more game and had a better record than the Cowboys and the Giants then they WOULDA been the ones who COULDA beat Atlanta, Green Bay, San Fransisco and then New England for the title.  IF only they didn&#039;t call themselves Dream Team before even a game was played.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, the same applies to every team.  Heck, Rolle just couldn&#039;t shut his yap all season long.

But I have been saying it all along, in my opinion, of course, American Football is the only sports out there that is the total team sports.  You can have a Hall Of Fame caliber QB but if you don&#039;t have a good O line, a good receiving corps, and a decent running back, you&#039;re essentially a mediocre QB.  Let&#039;s not even discuss defense.  And again, this applies to every single team.

Bottom line, there is 16 weeks in the season.  Not plenty, specially if you dig yourself in a hole.  That is exactly what the Eagles did, and unfortunately, for them and their fans, hard as they did, and even as they climbed themselves out, it was just a tad late.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I try to focus more on my team, and not to hate on other teams, but sometimes I cannot resist, and give the Giants credit for finding a way, but damn that was one of the worst played SB&#039;s  ever.  If the Eagles had gotten in the playoffs, do not tell me they could n&#039;t have won it all, that was some piss poor football by the Pats, especially the D, and the dropped passes. The Giants made some plays, and less mistakes, simple as that, hats off to them.  Without Eli, no chance. I thought he had  some lucky breaks in 97, but Eli really showed me something the past few  yrs., tough, poised, and  clutch. Next year the Byrds could be a great team, but I&#039;ve seen and heard that too many times, show me. But I&#039;ll still be here, whether it happens next year or 20 yrs from now, (if I&#039;m still alive) such is the life of a  true Byrds phan.]]></description>

Vick is the most overrated player in the nfl. Ever since the Giants put the blue print out on him late last year any decent defense has been able to rattle him. They have a great running back in Shady and that’s about it, the rest of the team is overrated. Decent talent but not championship material. Had they made it Green Bay would’ve ended their playoff run 1st round
______________________________________________________________________

The Giants put the &quot;blue print&quot; out on the Eagles , well I guess that explains how  the Eagles kicked the Giants behind once this year and twice last season, including that miraclous comeback at the Meadowlands, yeah they put the blue pring out there alright, funny thing is the Redskins kicked their behinds too.   Fact is had the Eagles won just one more game this season, we wouldn&#039;t be having a conversation about the Giants.  

Just last year this time you folks were saying the same thing about Eli that you are now saying about Vick.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the Giants won the superbowl they should make the playoffs next year right . Wrong the rest if the teams in the NFC east know Eli can&#039;t take pressure up the middle, and if the storyline didn&#039;t call for Eli to play In Peyton&#039;s house they wouldn&#039;t have had a chance to be in that situation. But hey they won even though the referees were trying to give Brady the game . Take that Mr. Goodell now next year let&#039;s see you get the Giants back to the playoffs anything else will be un civilized.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, if backup QB John Skelton doesn&#039;t drive the length of the field in the final 3 minutes of the 4th Q and throw a TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald, the Eagles win the game, the division at 9-7, and host the Atlanta Falcons in the 1st round of the playoffs, instead of the Giants doing so.

Coulda woulda shoulda. 

This is a game of inches, and this season, the Eagles were a day late, a dollar short, and more than a few inches away from glory.  Dream team... HA! 

Giants won and did it to Brady again.  So great.]]></description>

I&#039;m sorry but after being deemed the &quot;Dream Team&quot; and with expectations of winning around 13 games this season 8-8 sucks. And yeah they sucked most of the year. What did they start out at? 1-4? The Eagles were awful! Desean Jackson completely disappeared. Vick couldn&#039;t stay healthy for anything. The only good thing about the Eagles this year was Lesean Mccoy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They werent inches away from anything.  You are what your record says you are.  They were 8-8 and didnt win their division or make the playoffs.  The Eagles and their fans are always living in the future (which is understandable, since they have no past worth speaking about) 

I would like to think they will be better in 2012, but the NFC east plays the NFC south next year.  All in all, the Falcons, Saints, Panthers and Bucs are way tougher than the 49ers, Seahawks, Rams and Cardinals.  They will also get Detroit (and Arizona too but who cares)  Oh, lets not forget the AFC north. That means they have the Ravens, Steelers and Bengals too (lets ignore Cleveland for now)  Throw in their 4 games vs Dallas and NY and thats a very challenging schedule.  8 Games against 2011 playoff teams? Inches aint gonna cut it Cole]]></description>
