Madden curse - Donovan McNabb

[bagobonez]

So on that note, who do you guys want to be on the Madden cover next year?

Shaun Alexander. That bastard has single handedly killed me twice this year.

No, I think the Eagles miss the playoffs this year... Their remaining schedule is as follows:

Dallas
at NY Giants
Green Bay
Seattle
NY Giants
at St. Louis
at Arizona
Washington

I think, AT BEST, they win 3 of those games... Putting them at 7-9... And 7-9 isn't going to get you a wildcard....

What a homer you are.

I think you meant "AT WORST", they win 3 of those games. You really think the Eagles have a shot of losing against GB at home? or losing to Arizona? Or only winning one more of those 4 other home games (they're 3-0 at home this year)?

Man...I used to have respect for your posts. First, you wrongly accuse me of "fervently" hyping the SF defense (ROFL!) and now this.

no sir, I believe you are the homer

You say that the eagles at worst win 3 games? well who do you think they beat? I'll give you ARI and GB, but who else? you really think they're good enough to beat the Seahawks, Rams, Giants (twice), Cowboys, or Redskins?? thats a pretty tough schedule.

and the home argument is invalid as well. They play at home against every team in the NFC East (they're currently 0-2 against the NFC East) and they face the leader of the NFC West as well. Like I said, I'll give you GB, but but the way they've been playing they got slim chances of beating the others. They may be 3-0 at home, but two of those came in weeks 2 and 3 (when McNabb wasn't feeling the effects of his injury as much as now and Owens wasn't bitchin as much) agaisnt San Fran and Oak, and the other W was a fluke against the Chargers (the blocked FG)

I agree with Pliindsey, not because I'm a Cowboys fan, but because of the way the Eagles have been struggling and their tough remaining schedule

Id have to agree.....BH you are the homer my friend. While I believe the Eagles may win 4 of their remaining games, PL was not in the wrong and not a total homer in his post. They have a rough schedule and from how they have been playing so far its hard to believe they will do much better than PL predicted.
Dont take a post from him that aggrivated you before and use in you explination here.

has anyone bothered to look at the giants schedule? that ain't easy either.

Yea, the division games are hard, but we have to see how it plays out. considering the eagles track record, it isn't homerism to err on the side of them righting the ship.

Unfortunately Eli will be on the cover next year. Not because I want him to be... just because I think he will. Please don't put LT on the cover...

[eaglesrule]

i think peyton or brady are a tad overdue to be honest.

[bwagner112]

Well Rackers of course

[theimitator]

not that I believe in this sort of thing, mind you, but it is starting to really take shape...Donovan's out vs Giants...

I think his struggles are more related to the "T.O. curse"

Ah yes, but you forget that TO was on the cover of ESPN 2K5 last year. It isn't the TO curse, but the monopoly curse coming back to doubly bite McNabb in the ass along with the Madden curse.

[eaglesrule]

maybe it is the "curse" because typically the players on it, have gone fairly deep into the post-season and played more games?

at any rate, never say die eagles fans. I won't give up till the math says they are done.

I am guessing it is time for peyton or shaun alexander.

I will pray to all of my Gods that it is one of the Mannings. (Preferably Peyton)
