PrintThere are three early games of interest to Eagles fans today. If these games go our way, the game against Dallas at 4 is essentially a play in game for the postseason.
Oakland @ Tampa Bay - Tampa must lose this game for the Eagles to have a shot at the postseason.
Giants @ Vikings/Chicago @ Houston - Either the Vikings or the Bears need to lose one of these games. If both win, the Eagles will be eliminated. Both games for these teams are tougher than the Tampa game.

random question
was there another incident aside from the booing at the draft whereas philly fans booed mcnabb as he was announced? I know philly is not the easiest town to play in but its weird to me that just because 10 people booed him at the draft espn portrays it as we all have always hated him
by yourmomsacowboysfan on Dec 28, 2008 1:28 PM EST reply actions
they make seem as though all philly fans were at the draft booing him i feel
by yourmomsacowboysfan on Dec 28, 2008 1:29 PM EST up reply actions
It was the Dirty Thirty on draft day
I mean, they have booed everyone on the team at times when they have played poorly.
We booed Kolb too

What would really piss me off is if the Raiders actually beat the Bucs but the Vikings beat the Gints because the Giants wanted to rest thier starters. Im gettin mad just thinking about that scenario/
i'm starting to worry about that scenario.
The bears are pullin away
And the Giants look like they could care less

I dont believe the giants will lose
the vikings are just garbage but the giants need to score cause their starters are done after the 3rd

as far as the defense i do not kno. Eli is and key offensive players… who that is aside from eli i am not sure. But boss is already out along with Jacobs so there is not much left on their O.

WOO HOO Raiders! Why am I even hoping though? Doesn’t the world have to blow up for us to even have a chance?
no
but things can line up before our game even starts
by GreenInBaltimore on Dec 28, 2008 1:47 PM EST up reply actions
God
I feel so bad for them. No one deserves that.*
- Exceptions include Dallas, Washington and New York.
ONE MORE REASON TO HATE THE FRIGGIN GINATS
we may have a better chance of Houston coming from 10 down
Cant imagine the Giants play their starters in the second half

Yes he is getting the job, and hopefully next year Seattle can be more committed to the run.
Seattle, the world's worst sports city.
what is this “run” you speak of?
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
