    Crap, you guys lost one freaking game. Geez, you act like there are all sorts of horrible problems going on with this team when they've been one of the hottest teams in the league the last 5 weeks. All of a sudden the Eagles have a bad game, and the sky is falling? Give me a break man. The COwboys are a very good team this year and just went out there and played better than them for the 2nd time this season. Maybe it's a bad match up for the Eagles, I don't know but there isn't near as many problems with this team as you're suggesting.

    They might lose again next week though because the Cowboys are playing very hot as well right now and they've beaten Philly twice, so it isn't looking good for them. I'd hardly act like the Eagles have that many problems though.

    You do realize that you just replied to a post created 10-21-09 when the Eagles were 3-2 after just losing to the Raiders, right? This crap was not created after last week like you think.

    Oh, I was about to say. You never know with certain Eagles fans though. They can be kind of coo coo at times. Not all Eagles fans, but a good amount of them. I like the Eagles and respect their organization a lot.

    well for someone who thinks he has all the answers he missed a hell of a lot.

    first did you take notice to when this thread was posted ?

    next, you didn't even answer one of the questions i proposed.

    lastly - you may programed to accept failure year after year i but i am not nor are many in this fanbase. many of those coo coo fans you speak of have every right to be pissed off at this team. different strokes for different folks i guess.

    Well I wasn't trying to take a shot at all Eagles fans. I respect many of them, but I also can't stand many as well and just about every Eagles fan I have ever talked to would agree with that.

    I don't think you have a clue about what I would accept or would not. I hate failure and I'm a Texans fan. I'm forced to deal with it. You should be glad that you are at least around some fans on your side of the country that actually do expect to have success than some of the fans down here that are ecstatic to be having an under achieving winning season at 9-7.

    The Eagles have been a damn good organization this decade. Reid has ran a very tight ship and has dealt very well with adversity and injuries about as well as any coach could. The Eagles have had injuries all season long and dealt with them very well. They have all decade actually. You guys are in the playoffs once again and were also in the NFC championship game again last season and went on a tear to get there. With all of the injuries and this young WR core and backfield that Philly has, I don't see why you don't expect them to have a bad game every now and then against a very good Dallas team right now that's playing really hit. Hell, the Cowboys just gave NO's their first loss a few weeks ago. I didn't see any NO fans acting like their team is failing and dying.

    The Eagles are just fine right now. They usually know how to bounce back from bad losses if history means anything. Reid will have his team prepared for their match up against the Cowboys.

    i think you miss the point texx.

    getting to and losing NFCC games isn't good enough. especially when we seem to lose the same way over & over again. now while the dopey fans will just yell out reid sucks, mcnabb sucks the vast majority of us realize that both have won a ton of games and deserve a ton of the credit for the success we have had over this decade the fact remains that they continue to fail by not winning it all when they have had so many chances.

    the fact is this year's team has not beaten a playoff team but there's no excuse for sunday's game, i don't care how good the cowboys are playing, just like there was no excuse for the cowboys folding in last year's final regular season game.

    btw - you didn't see any saints fans acting this way ? really ? you didn't hear the undeniable booing in their final home games including the dallas game ? to the point that a player ripped into them because they were to him, too tough on them ?

    don't get me wrong, i appreciate an outsiders point of view, one that isn't filled with frustration but you as outsider have to take into consideration our angst.

    we aren't all like the super genius on this that thinks vick is the 2nd coming of christ.

    Fair enough I can appreciate the passion and the "we're better than what we're seeing" attitude, but the Eagles have had a ton of bad injuries all season from the O line and D line to their WR's to their dynamic play maker in Westbrook to their franchise QB as well. I just think the Eagles have had a pretty good season considering all of that. Not to mention having to play with such young WR's right now where they're all getting injured here and there. Plus the Eagles lost their heart and soul of their defense in Dawkins.

    It's hard to make it to the big dance and the Eagles did make it there once at least and almost won but they had to play a dynasty team that went to 4 SB's this decade and that was the only real season that Mcnabb ever had any weapons at WR.

    I just think that the Eagles organization makes some of the best off season moves from year to year and I admire the way that they don't put up with any crap from diva players either. They seem to be a very well ran team and that's big reason why they've been to the post season as many years as they have even with many of the injuries they've encountered.

    A Saints fan hacked and basically burnted down Cowboy-Forum. It had to be completely re-built from scratch. Every post/thread prior to that game is gone
