Incredibly poor display on both sides of the ball. Eagles down 24-6 in a pretty embarrassing effort. Credit to Warner though, he's killing us.

I can't think
of whether I’ve ever seen Jim Johnson get outplayed in the chess game this badly. Of course, it helps that Warner seems to know exactly what to do on each blitz and the Iggles cover guys are playing fifteen yards off the ball.
All of the inconsistency
of this season coming home to roost today.
Sigh.
DUH?
3rd and 14 on your own thirty and you take a timeout when im sure Arizona would have took one to get the ball back. Then when they have the ball on 3rd and 14, we take a timeout?

Now we get to hear from the all the Arizona "fans"...
…that can’t name a player on the team besides the stars.
andy reid
He has an offensive coord. and an def coordinator, but he cannot manage this game. He’s a good GM, but maybe the worst coach in the NFL.
What a fucking disgrace this team has been. Oh and if I was Andy, I would bench Donovan right now for his disgraceful performance along with everyone on that defense.
- Defense my ass.
Shut Up..... Kolb Sucks
Yeah lets bring in Kolb who has not done shit his whole career
Believe in the power of the beard...................................except howard eskins'
The point was about the disgraceful performance, and I did say to bench everyone on that defense too. This is a disgrace plain and simple.

We took Ellie Manning out of the super bowl picture…
I SWEAR IF I HEAR ONE MORE FIRE REID COMMENT…. YOU GUYS ARE RIDICULOUS… GRUDEN LOST HIS LAST 4 GAMES THIS YEAR TO MISS THE PLAYOFFS…
we’re getting outcoached but that doesnt mean there is a better alternative available

No – the defense couldn’t stop the cardinals in the first half – the cardinals schemed better offensively than the eagles did defensively in the first half – jonsons defense got shredded

not really.
we’re LUCKY to have 6 points on that board. it would be way worse had jackson not stripped the ball.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Its our fucking offense
The defense made this season. Right now, this defense isn’t doing shit and our offense sucks so fucking much that we’re not going to be able to pull through.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
my point is the offense hasn't pulled it's weight at all this season
maybe 2-3 games. Otherwise it’s our defense that’s doing all the damage and our offense “does enough” so we don’t lose.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Players That need to GO
Greg Lewis
Lorenzo Booker
LJ Smith
Sean Considine
Any Others?
Believe in the power of the beard...................................except howard eskins'
they;ve figured out our blitz...
they obviously have come up with a game plan for dealing with the blitx. I hope to god they make adjustments in this half to deal with warners quick passes.
Penalty flag ... What a play by McNabb to stay alive!
All for naught. Penalty on Klecko.
Keep in mind who the announcers are – they kind of suck in general

SHIT! SACK, Wilson, AZ ball.
Dammit Donnie, hold onto the ball!
There goes that drive
I’d have to say that if Arizona puts any points on the board here it could really be over guys.
nail in coffin
Im going to watch a DVD
Bye
Believe in the power of the beard...................................except howard eskins'
McNabb never saw him coming.
Wilson got to him untouched.
AZ looks like we did during the first game
And we look like them. Shudder.
This just isn't right.
AZ doesn’t belong in the Superbowl. Maybe I’m still sleeping?
For all the SHIT mcnabb talks about philly fans not appreciating him
He sure missed about 10 fucking throws that could’ve made things alittle different.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
3rd and 9.. overthrew Boldin
We get ball back. Let’s make some noise.
IF THEY CUT MCNABB AND KOLB IS NOT THE ANSWER
and they spend the next ten trying to find the answer at quarterback you will appreciate this era more.
IAMLEGEND
appreciate the era of having 5 opportunites to get a ring?
and not getting one? that’s torture… you dont know if kolb is the answer or not, no one does.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Yo Adrienne...
Incomplete to LJ, Smith defending, almost picked.
I gotta admit… Celek has played well. not much athleticism but he’s catching anything that comes his way
With the way the defense has been playing – don’t matter much where they start :)

Great
So we can watch the Steelers/Ravens pound the Cards and troll on their boards in 2 weeks. Great.
The coaching staff was outclassed in the first half – dug too deep of a hole – the defense gassed itself trying to get back into the game – both sides of the ball the cards bitchslapped the eagles in the first half

This is the truth about this season.
We made the playoffs in a complete fluke, the likes of which will not be seen for another 20 years. This is the first worthwhile postseason since 2004 – and may well be the last one for a similar stretch. The first four years of success were largely with Rhodes-era personnel. This organization just cannot win the big games, they will never win the big games. Getting to the NFC championship ONCE in the last four years is not success by any means; I would like to see the person who would not trade all 5 appearances(and 4 losses) for one lombardi trophy. Truly disgusting.
1 out of 32 teams wins the super bowl each year – 1 out of 16 makes the nfc championship game

Being out in California and not having DirecTV – I still think they had a pretty good season and I hope they don’t cave into the vocal minority and they do bring back Reid and McNabb
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 6:42 PM EST reply actions
Oh Ried and McNabb are going back
Without McNabb, final score 35-0. This offense was all McNabb. I am really surprised in Westy. It was like he was not even at the game
Who wants to play Leapfrog with Trent?
Well they did not run a screen
not counting the one to celek they didnt run one until they ran that one to buck & he has not been healthy enough these past few months
They are obviously going to bring back both
Let’s say the team goes to 3 more NFC champs(inexplicably), like they did in 2001-4, is that satisfying to you?
I’m satsified now – but then again – i’m a philadephia sports fan – just not an eagles fan – and have been for almost 30 years – so I have lower expectations :)

Yes – I know it’s a football town – then a hockey town – then a baseball town and then a basketball (pro) town – and my two primary teams are phillies and sixers :)
But it’s also a fan base that i’ve always been baffled by that suffers (i think) from some sort of rocky complex it needs to get over.

We still kicked Cowgirl ass, Gnat ass, and even beat the Steelers. GO STEELERS now, bring it home to PA!
Nope – flag on the play – you can not root for the eagles and the steelers – violation of the rules of fandom

No – sorry – I’d rather see Baltimore win then those Pittsburghians get another title – it’s just how it works – you can’t root for Philadelphia AND Pittsburgh – it’s a violation of the core of the universe

Sorry guys I can't be satisfied
Getting to the CG isn’t an accomplishment. Getting there 5 in 8 years is to a degree but not coming out with a ring is an absolute failure. How can we even talk shit to Cowboys or Giants fans? They have rings, we have CG failures…4 of them.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
In the last 4 years when have all the key players been 100% healthy for 100% of the season?
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 6:49 PM EST up reply actions
Find me a single team that satisfies that criterion in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Injuries are NOT an excuse
When the injuries are to either Westbrook or McNabb – I think they are – this team can’t win a title without them 100% healthy – it’s just a fact
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 6:52 PM EST up reply actions
We have a mostly young team
We will be in the playoffs next year if we stay healthy and keep all our people.
Disappointing loss but we fought hard. Next year we win it all.
"When I have the ball, I experiment." #5
Secondary isn’t that young…and they still need a WR threat that’s real and westbrook will not last forever

The WR tweak isn’t small and it’s been needed for YEARS

C’mon…stop acting like the offense cost us the game. You just love to hate McNabb and play the oh-so-old # 1 WIDE RECEIVER card.
Regarding the Eagles/Mets comparison and What needs to be done.
The Eagles are not the Mets. They are worse. At least the Mets go out and spend money on their holes. We’ve needed a Short yardage back since the beginning of the Championship runs. We need a Number 1 receiver, Jackson and Curtis are both slot receivers. I’m convinced if we still had T.O we would have a ring by now. This formula just is not working and its been that way since the McNabb era. Get rid of LJ Smith and make Celek the starting TE. We lose the same game every year and can anyone name the last time McNabb drove us down the field in the closing minutes of a game? This goes back to the superbowl with the shitty time management. I’m sorry to say but Dawkins is done, Reid and Morninwheg should be on their way out and McNabb is a tossup. He would be the MVP of this league if he had a decent RUNNING GAME.
Eagle Fans......
Although I love to hate your team ever since the Miracle in the Meadowlands, gotta give your team props. I know it sucks for you guys to lose today but, you had a GREAT run. I still think the NFC East is the best, & most competitive, division in football, even though we all fell short of the Super Bowl. See you guys next year!! Good luck & God Bless.
18-1, oops!!!!!!!
All You McNabb Haters...Now's your time to shine...
Our “D” gave up 32 points and played like PUSSIES
Akers kicked like he never played before in his life
Curtis drops a PERFECTLY THROWN ball…
I’m surprised someone didn’t BLAME mcnabb for not covering fitzgerald better
I can’t wait to read the news blogs and papers tomorrow…
You are doing the same thing you complain about in the post – crying about a storyline that isnt there. No one is stringing up mcnabb here.
Some people are calling out McNabb like the eagles LOST the game on that last drive (the 2 minute one – not the last play one) – without acknowledging the come back or the many other factors that led to the loss :)
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 6:55 PM EST up reply actions
Well I think they have a valid point – Mcnabb has never come back on that final drive and led the team down the field to victory, and by god hes certainly had plenty of chances.
Except that if the defense showed up early – or the refs made the right calls – or akers didn’t suck – there are a lot of ‘points’ at which this game turned – and even that last drive – it’s not mcnabbs fault that the receiver got tripped and the ref ignored the call…
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 6:58 PM EST up reply actions
he didnt' get tripped!
dammit! curtis dropped the ball – it was PERFECTLY thrown
by damonmoore43 on Jan 18, 2009 6:59 PM EST up reply actions
Everyone, including Troy Aikman thinks it was pass interference – you don’t.
You seem to think I’m blaming McNabb – I’m not – do you make money off McNabbs Q rating or something?
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 7:00 PM EST up reply actions
you can complain about those things in every football game man…thats the sport. It is very telling that mcnabb has never triumphed over all of those factors but other great quarterbacks have(manning brady for example)
This sounds a lot like the RISP debate in baseball…small sample size just begs to be called up here
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 7:02 PM EST up reply actions
it's not pass interference...
no one is implying that you blamed mcnabb for the pass interference…
but it’s on CURTIS
thats the point of the post – it’s on curtis — got nothing to do with mcnabb – the throw was on target…
it aint about the REFS or AIkman – no one but curtis and the ball
by damonmoore43 on Jan 18, 2009 7:04 PM EST up reply actions
And no one said the throw wasn’t on target – I’m not sure why you’re freaking out over things people aren’t saying
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 7:05 PM EST up reply actions
jemagee -
all i have been saying – is that curtis has to catch the ball – that’s it
give it a rest with the ’reply’s’ – i didnt say your blaming mcnabb
all i said for the 100th time is that curtis has to catch that ball with the game on the line
by damonmoore43 on Jan 18, 2009 7:06 PM EST up reply actions
Unlike the other QBs in the NFL who only make perfect passes every time they throw the ball
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 6:55 PM EST up reply actions
oh yea, i forgot to mention that Westbrook gets a pass again!
YAYY! westbrook can’t be criticized because poor westbrook was hurt again…
running game was non-existent for the postseason
warner would be out of the league if he had to throw to curtis, baskett and jackson all season….
fitzgerald, boldin and breaston have single handedly extended his career
by damonmoore43 on Jan 18, 2009 6:55 PM EST up reply actions
McNabb single-handedly kept the EAGLES in this game...
we should have been blown out
YES. He did miss 4 throws….he completely missed them. 4!
If Curtis catches the ball, no one says SH*T.
McNabb put the team on his back with NO RUNNING GAME TO SPEAK OF.
but he will be mauled tomorrow….MAULED
Can’t know what story line the talentless hacks of the philadelphia media are going to choose to write about

people are just irrational on this board
no run game
no D
a missed FG
and you want to blame #5?
no wonder the national media hates philly fans
by damonmoore43 on Jan 18, 2009 7:01 PM EST up reply actions
It seems like you’re the one being irrational as most people aren’t blaming McNabb – yet you seem to think they are.

We were playing with House money-We should be proud of our Eagles
We had a 5% chance on week 16 to make the playoffs.
Not bad for 5%… we were two minutes away from the Superbowl.
Like Brian said, too bad the game is 60 minutes.
Well
Fitz is a beast. We didn’t adjust to him in time and we didn’t run well. It really is that simple.
Not here trolling
Any news on John Runyon?

A Cowboy fan who is glad you lost, hope Runyon is OK

Did anyone else think that 4th quarter TD to 10 was a dead ball before he threw it? The lines just seemed to have let up and I was sure there was some flag down until they flashed touchdown on the screen.
I did notice that it seemed like the offensive line did such a great job that both sides of the lines just sort of gave up knowing McNabb was ‘free and clear’ for now :)
I thought it was just great blocking

What happened with Runyan?
Defending Big D: A Dallas Stars blog: easy to use, free to join.
MGM was really annoying!!!
OMG, really I know that I shouldn’t start a post out like that but it is the only thing I can think of. The MGM was full of Cards fans. Last week it was full of Eagles fans!!! Well. it went really bad and I don’t have the time to write what I really feel.
Well I won a bunch last week and lost a third of that today. I can’t really fathom why we couldn’t stop the run of the Cards when we stopped AD and the Giants.?? Does anyone know??
Well Dmoney played great for a quarter and our d was terrible most of the day.
I’ll hit you guys up next year… I hope we can sign some more impact players and that Dawk and Thomas come back….
It’s been great fighting over trival shit for the last year… Love yous guys…. LATE!!!!
EAGLES 1/10!!!!!!!!!
I’m curios – any word on why Boldin tried to take out his offensive coordinator late in the game?
by jemagee on Jan 18, 2009 7:10 PM EST reply actions
Runyan
He recovered that fumble today. Played hurt all season.
