Go Eagles!

It was a rough opening day but we came out on top. Hope it's not indicative of the rest of the season. Go Birds!

Why is the Hulk saddled with that terrible jersey??? :innocent

Sorry, you're in my division...Good luck to the Eagles, though. (uncrosses fingers)

Ugh let me guess a Giants fan?

ChrisMC · September 11, 2012, 07:23:05 PM

Yeah, sorry. Well, not really. :) SB46 champs!

Grats on that superbowl. You must hate the fact that the Eagles have won seven of the last eight games they played against your team. ;)

ChrisMC · September 12, 2012, 02:14:02 PM

I do, trust me. But at least we have a QB who doesn't puke on the field at the SB!! :P

At least we can be united in our hatred of the Cowboys, right?? What do you think about the Eagles owner saying Andy Reid's job is on the line if Philly goes 8-8? Seems like a crap move to me, saying that publicly.

Wow I must have missed that. Was that before or after Andy Reid's son died? I imagine before. McNabb was ultimately a disappointment but he did give us some exciting games and alot of post season play.

It was after, which makes it much more douchey. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8320620/philadelphia-eagles-owner-re-evaluate-coach-andy-reid-season

I kind of like Jeffrey Lurie, he's never really done wrong by the team and seems willing to do what it takes to give us the tools needed for a winning football team. Maybe he felt Andy needed the motivation to focus on the team and his job even through the personal crisis he is going through. Lurie also is at the forefront of spearheading efforts to make the Eagles stadium 100% self sustaining through a combination of solar panels, wind turbines, and on-site generators. This sets a great example in my opinion and it's nice to see a sports team owner take an interest in something other than a Superbowl ring or his own bank account.

And quite frankly, even considering all Andy Reid has done for the Eagles, he still hasn't pulled the trigger on that Superbowl win. He's got the longest tenure of any head coach in football right now, and still hasn't led us all the way. Maybe Lurie is right and it's time for a change.

I'm not disagreeing with his motivations, it's saying it in public. Andy Reid has done great things for that team, they used to be awful. He deserves to have that conversation is private. Praise in public, punish in private.

We will have to have a fun bet for the next Giants/Eagles game.

Jobydrone · September 13, 2012, 03:19:27 PM

Agreed, even though he's saying what everyone's thinking you're right. As for the bet, 7 and 1 since 2008? I'll take those odds!

ChrisMC · September 13, 2012, 03:37:30 PM

Ha, OK. Week 4, 9/30 Sunday Night Football! Should be a good one, love the divisional games.

Jobydrone · September 18, 2012, 07:11:51 PM

My suggestion is the loser has to post the winning team's fight song in the shout box every day for a week ;)

Btw first place baby!!!

ChrisMC · September 19, 2012, 03:22:17 AM

Yeah, yeah. And you have a cream puff game this weekend, whether or not they beat the Patriots. That's a fair bet!

Oops, was I wrong. This is a big game on Sunday! What a crazy day yesterday was in the league.
