Come back to reality your Freshness, we would most definately be relying on our running game alot more when you have an on the ground threat like Bush.
Yeah I'm pushing for a Quincy Carter signing. I can not go the rest of this season (no matter how many games are left) watching Detmer run the offense.

Lets just ride the rest of this season out, get some quality players in the draft and call it a year. We'll be back next season and so will a HEALTHY McNabb, it's all good really. And let the hating begin!
That Seahawks game was just painful to watch. I just watched part of the third quarter. First play, we fumble it and they recover it for a touchdown. This season is over.

That was a pretty good game. We played well, but Jay Feely just put us away at the end. Still an overall good game. So now that we pretty much aren't going to the playoffs, who should we seek in free agency/draft in the offseason?
Eric Moulds a free agent this off season. Next years starting wide outs Eric Moulds and Dwayne Jarret (USC) with Reggie Brown in the slot. Would be great to see.
Alright this lounge has been dead so time to start talking Eagles draft. Overwhelming favorite I am hearing right now around the state is Santana Holmes WR. Other names I have heard have been AJ Hawk (should we trade up), Chad Greenway, some defensive ends, Lendel White, and Deangelo Williams if he is there when we pick. For some reason the Eagles feel a need to bring in another back.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that too BKS..but we'll prolly go WR and draft Holmes since it doesn't look like Jarrett is gonna declare.
i was just talking to my friend from PA yesterday, and he said that he wouldnt be surprised to see us trade up and draft aj hawk. i think its a possibility since we traded up to get mcdougle and andrews in previous drafts. although for now it looks like we were better off not trading at all. lol. anyways, i went to the eagles website yesterday and registered at their forums to see what they were thinking. most of them think we will draft an offensive linemen or defensive linemen. what do you think? i personally think we are good at OT but we definetly need some help on our defensive line because we got absolutely no pressure on the QB all season. btw, matt mcoy is a bust. mark my words.

Eagles Update! <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Eagles will have to wait a few more days, but it appears as if their first big free-agent signing of the off-season is going to be <font color=""Red"">LeCharles Bentley</font>, the Pro Bowl center from the New Orleans Saints. According to a source close to the center, Bentley's interest in joining the Eagles is so strong that only the delay in the free-agency period prevented the move from happening today. Free-agent signings were supposed to start today, but the NFL moved the date back to Monday in the slim hope that it can still negotiate an extension of the collective bargaining agreement with the players' union. It has been no secret that the Eagles' primary goal this off-season is to improve on both the offensive and defensive lines. There had been speculation recently that they might try to sign New York Jets center <font color=""Red"">Kevin Mawae </font>if he was released as part of a salary-cap purge. Mawae, a 12-year veteran, actually was released yesterday, but it makes far more sense for the Eagles to sign Bentley, who is only 26 years old and presumably just moving into the prime of his career. The Eagles certainly have the salary-cap room needed to make Bentley the kind of offer that would lure him to Philadelphia. Bentley was a second-round pick by the Saints in 2002. After playing center at Ohio State, he excelled at guard during his first two seasons with the Saints. He was Sports Illustrated's offensive rookie of the year in 2002 and earned a spot on the NFC Pro Bowl roster in his second season. Bentley moved back to center in 2004 and made the Pro Bowl at that position this season. His impending arrival is likely to be bad news for Hank Fraley, who had been the Eagles' starting center since the 2001 season, when he took over for an injured Bubba Miller. Fraley started all but one game from 2001 through the midway point of last season when he suffered a torn rotator cuff in a loss at Washington. Fraley, 28, was scheduled to make $650,000 in 2006, which is the final year of his contract. Jamaal Jackson took over as the starter from Fraley, and he will likely remain with the team in a backup role at center and possibly even as a candidate to compete for a starting job at guard. It is still not clear what the remainder of the Eagles' offensive line will look like in 2006. Left tackle Tra Thomas, coming off back surgery, will have to prove he is healthy, and last year's starting left guard, Artis Hicks, is not a lock to retain that job. There are still rumblings that the Eagles will make a run at Seattle's <font color=""red"">Steve Hutchinson</font>, who is considered by many to be the top guard in the league. The Seahawks placed the transition tag on Hutchinson last week, which means they can match any offer from another team. </div> link: http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/brea...ws/14004579.htm <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font color=""red"">It now looks like the Eagles and Terrell Owens will part ways before March 11th and the big cut may come as soon as Monday.</font> The Eagles had been trying to trade Owens, but with the labor deadlock between NFL players and owners, it seems unlikely there were any takers. And with the free agency period starting money, the Eagles are expected to use money previously earmarked for Owens, to sign a big-name free agent. The sudden labor strife also puts Owens' future in limbo. Teams may have from $10 million to $15 million less to spend on salaries after the labor breakdown prevented a salary-cap increase. In November, Owens career with the Eagles effectively ended when he refused to apologize to quarterback Donovan McNabb and he lost an arbitration case on Thanksgiving Eve. Arbitrator Richard Bloch ruled the Philadelphia Eagles were justified in suspending Owens for four games, and then deactivating him for the season, because of Owens' behavior. In Bloch's 38-page finding, he details the confrontation between Owens and head coach Andy Reid and McNabb, and finds that Reid had the right to suspend Owens for the good of his team. "(Reid) properly exercised his inherent discretion to conclude that, on balance, the team would be better protected and better off by practicing and fielding a team that did not include Mr. Owens," said Bloch. "The problem -- a continuing one -- was almost entirely off-field, and the response properly dealt with that reality." Bloch also found that Owens and agent Drew Rosenhaus campaigned to disrupt the team as a ploy to get Owens a new contract or his release.</div> link: http://www.nbc10.com/sports/7622601/detail.html <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font color=""red"">The Eagles plan to sign free agent quarterback Jeff Garcia and release backup quarterbacks Koy Detmer and Mike McMahon</font>, Comcast SportsNet reported last night quoting team sources.
