i also played in cold games, because you had to, but given the choice i would never play in GreenBay for a career location. Augustus point is that BretFavre superstar never made the move to escape GreenBay in a day an age where players of his caliber via free agency can easily have jumped ship--that was remarkable. But the big change now is they keep the fields from freezing over and they have power heat blowers at the benches and all that "wimpy" stuff(vbg). For me the grimness wasn't so much the cold but that one was playing on virtual concrete. My eagles are getting stuffed by the better team. It will be another loooong painful year waiting for next year. We are cursed---this year Emmons and Westbrook out for season just before playoffs hurt a lot. Patriots will beat Panthers, but they would have beat Eagles also, and worse. So Eagles go into next year with the best record over 4 years and zilch to show for it. Eagles are only the 2nd team to lose three conferences championship games in a row---the other, the dallas Cowboys, 1980-1981. Eagles will now carry the Choker Team Label, in the NFL; though it be not fair---they will get it the label put on them anyway. They will likely lose all their free agaents except Emmons( who they MUST sign Emmons--they lose Emmons, this team goes downhill) Ike Reece , at 225pounds was simply incapable of filling Emmons shoes. New stat--Eagles the first EVER in the history of football to lose 2t conference championships in a row with Home field advantage. McNabb has said he WANTS Terrell Owens on his team--Eagles better DO IT! Eagles in not signing Taylor,Duce and Vincent; must use money--- The greatest disappointment of this game--The Offensive Line!! Can the Eagles go for the fourth try to get to Super Bowl? They hopefully will have Grasmanis, Burgess, Green, Emmons,Mayberry, Thomas and Westbrook coming back revved and ready. Priorities: surprise and resign Vincent--a pray he has a healthy season and sign Terrell Owens(the mere fact the McNabb says he would WANT T.O., McNabb is saying GIVE ME a Killer receiver--PLEEEESE!!!) Eagles can NOT go farther without a killer receiver--three years of FAILURE proves that. I want Owens and Mitchell to be 1 and 2 next year. i would look to trade Chad Lewis and Thrash for draft picks(if they can get a 3 and 4 in return. of the final 4 teams this year i see both the Packers and Panthers as better than us at this point in time. Did we miss Westbrook??? I have come to suspect that Westbrook is something very special---his ability to stay healthy may determine the future of the Eagles. When a players abscence on the field screams out--you know he is excellent--we missed Westbrook dearly. The Eagles STILL have the base to become a great team but time is running out. P.S. Would i scream if Eagles signed Sapp and Owens? Nope:) |
