Can You Say Eagles To The Super Bowl

If the NFC picture ends up as it stands right now, I guess I'm throwing my lot in with the bears. It'll be an AFC champion anyways this year.

He was just running out the clock, wasn’t he? Or are you talking about something else?

No, the clock had gone 0 well enough before Jackson pulled this typical stunt of his. He's done this a number of times - gets to the end zone and does something stupid. He's been burned a few times, dropping the ball before he's crossed the line and having it knocked out as he as showboating. That's his M.O., and he still doesn't get it. If I were an opposing player (or even his teammate) I'd deck this guy and take the 15 yards! They even have a tape of him from high school pulling this stuff. He says he was trying to make sure the clock was done, but he's only covering for himself.
 
It is generally agreed that Jackson is one of the most despised players in the NFL.

Except, of course, in Philadelphia.
 
Fox News has shown that DeShaun Jackson's touchdown should have been negated. As he approached the goal line, several Eagles players surged forward from the sidelines. As Jackson suddenly turned to run along the goal line, several of them spilled onto the field. With "Too many players on the field," the touchdown should have been negated.

However, the Giants' coach had also run onto the field to yell at his punter, so it's possible that the penalties would have canceled out.

No it won’t—it’ll be the Bears.
 
Yesterday, December 26, 2010, the Philadelphia Eagles clinched their division.

We're going to the play-offs!
 
Oh as much as I dislike saying this, I don't believe anyone is getting past New England. :shocked!
 
I really hate the NFC options this year. usually, if my team isn't in the playoffs (alive but need a lot of help; but plagued with like 10 starters on IR), I generally do not root for another team. I root AGAINST other teams.

I hate atlanta I hate new orleans I hate philidelphia I hate the rams.
I hate the patriots and I hate the steelers.

I'll be "okay" if the superbowl doesnt have any of those teams in it.
 
Ouch. In the first Tuesday NFL game since 1946, the vikings beat the Eagles 24-14. The eagles will have the #3 spit in the play-offs. This Sunday's game is the last one of the regular season, and it will not affect anything.
 
It isn’t really an official Super Bowl unless the Cardinals are in it.

Don’t worry—they’ll be back next year.

Will anything be back next year? This is my fear - the dreaded lock-out. The Lions finally look like they're headed in the right direction, and there could be no NFL football. Can you imagine fall with no NFL? NO NFL!!!

As a season ticket holder (actually 2 with my son) I so want that 18 game season and only have to pay full price for 1 pre-season garbage game! Come on owners and PA! Make it happen! But whatever, don't take away my NFL and Fantasy Football!

Replacement players! (Were you around when they had a strike and used replacement players?)
 
Bring back the USFL! The Philadelphia Stars won the national championship.

Yes, I remember that fiasco! No replacement players! While it would be nice to see some of these pre-madanna's kicked to the curb and replaced, it really makes a bad thing worse. It just becomes a bad joke. I'm hoping this is all posturing, and the two sides will come to their senses. The NFL can take a stoppage better than any other league, because... it's the NFL, but it wouldn't be pretty. And with Tom Brady as one of my fantasy keepers, I don't know how many of these premier seasons I can get out of him.

Well, the Michigan Panthers won the first championship! Michigan 24 - Philadelphia 22. :yes The Detroit market really jumped on board when the USFL arrived and we had actual professional football in the area. I have a Panthers jacket I tried to sell on eBay a few times, but I got no takers. :bigfrown They had a sweet logo and uniforms! :thumbsup

The USFL should have stayed in the spring and not tried to go head-to-head with the NFL - at least for a while more.
 
Mike, you are correct. The Michigan Panthers won the first year, and the Philadelphia Stars won the second year, and then the USFL disbanded.

They should have used MY IDEA. Divide the US into areas according to population. The team from each area can ONLY accept players who have lived in that area for at least fifteen years. Period. No exceptions.
 
The replacement player thing didn’t work out so well, now that you mention it, but what was the alternative?
