<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BrianWestbrook)</div><div class='quotemain'>Well we really didn't have Westbrook, he still had bruised ribs and he was getting over a chest contusion. Plus that game was just a mistake, I could tell from the start that the Eagles had totally underestimated the Steelers, so we'll see. And yes BF1, that's exactly what I believe would happen. It would be real tough to stop that offense, but their defense isn't going to shut ours down either. That would be a fun game to watch if your a fan of offense</div> If the Eagles are going into games against teams that are 6-1, a week after that team ended the longest winning streak in NFL history, and they still are underestimating the opponent, then Andy Reid should be fired and all the players should be ejected from the league....So the Steelers defense isnt going to shut down the Eagles offense? I guess allowing 3 pts isnt good enough to be considered a "shut down"....
You honestly think the steelers are that good to shut the eagles down to 3 points? I guarantee you if the Eagles do play the Steelers in the super bowl, it will be a totally different game. Just look at the changes made in our defense the week after playing the Steelers. We changed our starting DT's, and bumped out Nate Wayne and bumped in Trotter. Plus, the 2 games before the Steelers game, you could tell that the Eagles weren't playing at 100%. Slacking off big time against teams they should've been killing. You'll probably just say I'm saying that because I'm from Philly, but it just looked like they weren't ready for the game. It is pretty hard to motivate a team after they've just won 7 straight games, especially an NFL team. If you don't agree with me, whatever, but from experience I don't think the Eagles were prepared enough. Last thing, the defense really didn't shut down the Eagles offense. The Steelers offense did. They kept them off the field. The Eagles offense was on the field for 18 minutes compared to the steelers 42. I give the Steelers credit, but we'll see what happens next time
Read my tag line, it is particularly appropriate in this case..... They must of been good enough in week 8 because they did just that.... So you admit they are capable of playing bad football, good, get with the rest of the Eagles fans and tell them.... I reiterate, if they werent ready for that game under those circumstances than they are in big trouble Championship teams do not become complacent by minor successes, thats the difference between the Patriots(true winners) and the Eagles(consumate underachievers) I didnt realize you were an experienced NFL coach Are the Eagles petitioning the league to disallow the Steelers offense to play if they meet again? Thats even more dominating than the score indicated
Ok I gotta ask since I havent been around for very long, how come people have such a strong opinion more towards the disliking side of the spectrum when it comes to the "Eagles fans"?
Yo Beef. I am sick and tired of people saying how big that Steelers game was. It wasn't, it was out 3rd straight AFC game and it was a week before a big MNF Dallas game. If there is any games that EAgles can afford to lose, it's the AFC games. You are missing the point big time. The goal of the season is to dominate your division, and your conference. Out of conference games come dead last. I think that's part of the reason why ever since Andy Reid has been the coach we have always played out worst football against the AFC. I believe he puts 10X's more time into NFC teams then AFC, and that's how it should be. look at this, our record since 2000 NFC 44-12 AFC 12-7 So, it's no shocking that we lost to the Steelers. When it comes to the Super Bowl though, we'll come ready to play.
What a surprise, the game the Eagles lose is the game the Eagles fan says doesnt matter.....Do the NFC title games matter? There may be a reason that the Eagles have those records in conference play, the NFC sucks, half the teams in the NFC are on multigame losing streaks.....I cant wait to hear the reasons this weeks Packers loss doesnt matter, "We already clinched the division, we were hungover from that celebration".... <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>So, it's no shocking that we lost to the Steelers.

Beef you shoudl have known that loss doesnt count, it is like TO blowing up on the sideline doesnt count, or his complaining bout not getting nuf catches after blowout win doesnt count. Only good things count. Everyone knows championships are measured in the number of 2nd round playoff wins.
The Beef and BearsFan1, otherwise know as Ace and Gary (seen SNL?) I love to see you two offering your "expertise" in any teams forum. Job well done by both of you this year bashing anything an Eagle fan says, rather true or not. If an Eagles fan "the sky is blue today", you two would be quick to point out that it was also blue in the 1998 regular season game where the Eagles lost to Cleveland and Ty Detmer was the QB. Does it get tiring bashing the Eagles and not looking at your own squad? Just curious....

No fact to disprove any point made. Just another personal attack.
I never thought I would see the day when Dawk Vader would be the voice of reason for a group of fans, but he is....more than any of the other Eagles fans, he keeps their successes in prospective until the season is over....my little baby's all grown up, and his growns up and his growns up and his growns up.....
Everyone says we only like our players, and you call us idiots. You under-rate what the Eagles have accomplished in the past years, and your under-rating what they're doing this year. Then, after we lose to the Steelers, everyone jumps on their balls. You say Eagles fans can't back up anything with facts, when half of your arguments are "of course you hear that from a philly fan." I've been here for a few weeks, and I'm already sick of it. When your team dominates their conference like the Eagles do, I'm sure you'd be praising your team like we do. As for your responses beef... I was speaking of in general, not just then. The Eagles didn't look like the Eagles at all, and I don't think the Steelers are good enough to do what they did in Week 8 again. Bottom line, and if I have to wait to the Super Bowl to prove you wrong, thats fine. Yes, I said they are capable of playing bad football. Every team is, you can't be invincible in this league. Great solution, Andy Reid only just tied the franchise record for most wins by a coach. Since they weren't ready for an AFC game, that was away, we should fire him and his staff. Let's fire him, I mean he only did win 66 games as a head coach in 6 years. Patriots are true winners? Yea they did amazing 2 years ago. 9-7, that's awesome. True winners, Super bowl, then not making the playoffs the year after. That's a true winner right there. Yes, they've won 2 super bowls and three years, and that's amazing, but so is what the Eagles did. The team is consistently doing better, and I think we should've went last year. I'm dissapointed, and it sucks, but hey it happens. First year we got to the NFCCG we were underdogs, then we got home field advantage and lost. The third I believe was a fluke, but I forgot my arguements don't matter. I won't even say anything about the 3rd NFCCG coughbrokenribscough. Forgot to add this, since 2000, no team has more wins than the Eagles (46). Beef, you really took what I had to say the wrong way. My experience wasn't NFL, it was from playing football all my life. Their are times when a team doesn't play up to their potential, simple football fact. I made a point praising the Steelers offense, and you just gave me a dumbass response. Real good, I thought the Eagles fans were the dumb ones It is, which is why we were held to 3 points. Which is what I said, their offense dominated the game. Not much you can do, but we've improved our defense since then. That was the point I was trying to make, but I guess it didn't matter since I'm from Philly

Sorry but there's no way that the Eagles can win the Super Bowl, their Offense is nothing against good Defenses, and their Defense can't stop a team like the Colts passing Game. "They blitz so much that it becomes predictable" Mortansen. The eagles can't win the super bowl, and it's not like they got anything new this season other than Gay Boy T.O., they're not gonna beat teams like the Colts, or the Pats, or the Steelers. Enough said!
