Is there any sizzle for an Eagles Bengals game?

PrintIt appears that no one cares about the Eagles Bengals game this weekend. At least not here in Philly. The local writers haven't talked about it much this week. The message boards aren't talking about it... The blogs are light on it.
The question is why?
Has the hangover from the Giants game overshadowed the game?
Is it because it's against a team with no real rivalry or history with us?
Have fans given up?
Is it because their most famous and unlikeable player has been entirely complimentary to us this week?
Whatever the reason, we've got a football game coming up this weekend. There's only 16 of these things and we've got to do our best to enjoy every one of them. So I'm opening it up to you. Why is this a big game? Why do you care about it? Why are you excited?
Let's get hyped here!

I sort of hate games like this. I’ll watch it, and probably drink beer, but it’s hard to care as much.
If they win…eh, it’s the Bengals.
If they lose, then we can probably put a fork in ’em.
The best possible outcome is “meh”, and the worst possible outcome is disaster.
I sort of felt this way about the SF, Atlanta (which was disrespecting them on my part) and Seattle games, too. If the Eagles won, they were suppossed to win, it still didn’t show us that they could beat a good team or catch up to their NFC East rivals.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
Blah...
I almost lost the taste of the Phillies winning a championship after watching the Eagles last weekend. It’s hard to get excited when you know they’ll just squeak by Cinni with a mediocre performance (as crappy as the Bengals are). Even if we blow Cinni out at the end of the day we’re still 0-3 in our division.
The contemplation of what the Eagles do to fix the team going down the road is a more thoughtful topic. And whether or not that can be done this season.
i care cause there are only 16 games a season, and i intend to enjoy every one of them. also, i kinda see the eagles coming out pissed off and looking to take out their anger on somoene.

yeah. with our luck that will result in them running some pissed off death to all franken-reverse… the result of which will be a three stoogies style colision between Westbrook, McNabb and Jackson where all three of them break both legs and an arm… fuck me stupid already
World F*ckin' Champions, indeed...
wait until the 3rd offensive play, then get back to us on that point
World F*ckin' Champions, indeed...
Why is nobody talking about it?
I for one have such a bad Eagles hangover that I am having trouble getting out of bed, let alone care about a god awful Cincy squad.
I’m just glad that we’re playing Cincy this week and not Baltimore…
knowing the eagles luck it will be T.J. Houshmandzadeh -and chad johnsons best game of both there careers……
i was about to jump off of wachovia center but one of akers’ kicks smacked me right in the face and knocked me backwards…
I’m not even excited for it
a) It’s a game we SHOULD win
b) Playoff hopes are so far away it’s hard to get pumped.. I was so pumped for the Giants game..
Exactly. A loss to the 1-8 Bengals, while hanging on to our playoff lives, is unfathomable. By all means, it is a game we definitely should win. I looked forward to the showdown with the Giants for weeks. That loss really left me deflated. At this point, I am almost afraid to get too excited about the Eagles, as I just can’t handle these close losses for much longer.

I'll be there
I bought a cheap flight on Southwest and club seats below face value. I’m hyped.
See you there
I’ll be in section 114 wearing a Donnie Mac jersey with my old man in his Hugh Douglas. Look for us there. Anyone else coming down from Michigan looking for a ride?
i still got a hangover too
it sucks…I’m not really that excited. The only thing I’m excited about is that it is a game they should win
