Hey Sharpshooter.......Really no one is talkin' about T.O. up in these parts. If he was able to play, then OK.......He's not able to play so Reid and Co. is making due with what is available. We still got the FREAK on the defensive side along with Jeremiah Trotter and 3 ProBowlers in the Secondary. Gotta love Dawkins, I'm sure Vick is still feelin' the hit from Dawkins from 2 years ago! As good as T.O. is, I believe Westbrook is the key for the "Iggles". As Westbrook goes, so go the "Birds"......
Anybody listen to Rush Limbaugh??? He was trying to be a sportscaster around 3 o'clock today, and he was recalling the last time the "Eggles" won a
championship. Which according to him was in a snowstorm in 1958. I thought it was 1960, but if Rush said it, Then it is correct.
Eagles-27points/ 2 FG's,/7pts because of the Eagles defense will cause a turnover and score, or hand the ball back to the offense for a quickie from the Atlanta 30 yd line/ and 2 TD's from the offense.
Atlanta-16 points, one lucky TD and three FG's. If I'm wrong about the Atlanta final score, sue me! But, Atlanta will lose because they turned the ball over one or two times too many.
The Eagles are going to the Super Bowl, I am sure.
I hope the eagles don't, but right now I'm pulling for the steelers-falcons super bowl. I can't stand the pat's with Tom Brady, and the Eagles, nothing against them, but I just would like to see the spur in the Panther's fans side when the falcons go to the big game.............Jaguars will be there next year, or pretty darn close
A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia's era of domination and, by
1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That
year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach,
Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a
trade with the Los Angeles Rams. In just three years, Shaw gave
Philadelphia another championship. Behind Van Brocklin's expert
on-the-field leadership, the Eagles won the Eastern division with
a 10-2 record and then defeated the Green Bay Packers 17-13 for
the NFL championship. Bednarik saved the day for the Eagles with
an open field tackle of Green Bay's Jimmy Taylor on the game's
final play.
The Eagles fell just a half-game short of another NFL Eastern
conference championship in 1961 but didn't reach the playoffs
again for 18 years until 1978, their third season under coach
Dick Vermeil.
The Iggles need to get past the "We were this close"syndrome. Philly can't wait another 24 years until they get a Championship!
When they DO WIN.... I hope the masses in the city don't do anything to embarass themselves. Ya know like starting fires and destroying cars all in the name of exhuberance.
See my point? Some people thought Rush always spoke the Gospel truth; but when I hear him making major mistakes on the radio, I have to bust him down.
I was trying to effectively use sarcasm, but I guess it backfired.
Reever, what I meant was that IF or WHEN the Eagles lose either in the NFC Championship game or the Superbowl then the T.O talk will begin. I never expected the "City of Brotherly Love" to start downplaying their current roster's chances with out Owens. Of course your boys are going pump themselves up especially since a lot of people think that they are going to lose this week much less the Superbowl. If they get to the Superbowl the Patriots are going to beat them anyway then it'll be another hurdle for you guys to jump. So when the Eagles lose, either tomorrow or 2 weeks from now in the Superbowl, then everyone across the nation will be asking themselves what would could have been if Terrell Owens had been in the line up. It's inevitable.

Sorry 'bout that! I didn't recognize the sarcasm. Lots of people would make the same statement that you did, but honestly believe it. I feel the same way about him that you do. I saw a chance, I got the CORRECT facts and busted his chops.
