PrintHey guys what's up? I have a lot of free time on my hands actually right now as i don't have school tomorrow or Friday....lucky me! Anyways, I was looking around on yahoo for news about the Eagles, and basically just the NFL in general. One of the articles i found however, astounded me....
It's a big article about basically almost every single team in the NFL and some of the players and whatnot....notes, tidbits, little bits of information. However, if you read the paragraph about the Giants and the Eagles at the end (the author doesn't mention the Eagles anywhere else in the article stupid fool >=( lol anyways whining ceased), you'll see comments about Desean Jackson being probably the most explosive player in the NFL (HELL YES BABY THATS MY BOY), and a comment about Jeremy Maclin as a nice 3rd wide receiver option. The comment about Donovan McNabb was the one that astounded me though. Here's his words.....
"Donovan McNabb(notes) has been up and down this season, but his astronomical 151.9 QB rating at home easily leads the NFL."
151.9 QB RATING AT HOME SO FAR....
Even through two games, he has an ASTOUNDING QB rating of 151.9 at home during his two starts at home this season. I thought for sure this was a sham....but I checked out his ratings at nfl.com and it's legit...he really does have a rating of 151.9 (i calculated it myself). He had a near-perfect rating of 157.2 versus Tampa Bay and 146.7 versus Giants. To me, that is something worth noting. That is unbelievably amazing, better than what you can say for anyone else. Even with only two games, it's really rare to post ratings like that. Against Tampa Bay is not too much of a surprise, but against the division rival Giants, it's something that is noteworthy. Of course he hasn't been consistent as mentioned, but we don't know yet if this is pure luck or not. I think you guys might have thought about this and might have known about this too, but I just had the urge to post it. If you didn't know, well here you go =).... Anyways, in my opinion, I think of this astounding statistic like this....
Once is an accident....
Twice is a coincidence...
Three times is a trend...
Let us see how Donovan performs against Dallas come Sunday Night. If it's anything like a reenactment of 44-6 or an offensive juggernaut blowout against Dallas, then you can say with some certainty that Donovan is definitely having one of the best seasons of his career so far....
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??

I wouldn't call it mind blowing stats
He’s played Tampa and NYG. Let’s just hope he can keep the high level of play consistent.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
i was watching sportscenter talk about the the big showdown this week
and their were saying that romo deserves to be in MVP talk. they also mentioned mcnabb should be but they talked about romo more (i really don’t know why, but whatever). Also if you go on espn you can see that its mentioned in a few articles (along with an espn article by MOSLEY saying desean jackson is the most dangerous player in the nfl)
a rating above 100 with 9tds and 1 interception is noteworthy NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE PLAYING, but its a long season
Weapon X eats babies for breakfast.
The Cowboy fans over at Blogging the Boys
aren’t sure if they’d even rank Brees as a better QB than Romo.

It gets better
2 guys are now arguing that Miles Austin is not only stronger, but also faster than DeSean Jackson!

umm..no?
I am a constant figure at BtB…and no one in their right mind is going to question that Brees is currently a better, more talented QB than Romo. Brees is playing an absolutely lights out, unrivaled game right now. Neither Romo, McNabb and certainly not Eli have anything on Brees right now…statistically and evidently the only guy even in the same conversation right now is Peyton Manning.
Don’t lump us all in the idiots on our blog. They exist everywhere…even here.
Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game as a head coach..he has lost 4 home playoff games.
His longest tenure as head coach was 3 years.
Only once did his record as a HC improve from one year to the next (by 1 game)

fair enough
they do exist here too. Having not been over at BtB often I admittedly am unsure of consensus opinion or retard.
"What did it feel like? That collision, I didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."- Sheldon Brown on his pounding of Reggie Bush in the '06 Playoffs
Actually, in review
that opinion is shared by Aussie_Cowboy who originated the argument, Bishop West who furthers it by crediting Brees’ success to his WRs, the red scare who credits Brees’ success almost completely to his receivers, and finally Terry who goes on to say Romo’s #s are almost as good.
Sorry for not thinking that was consensus, that’s 4 guys right there…
If only New Orleans had a QB like Romo, their WRs wouldn’t have to work so hard to catch poorly thrown balls!

Haha
The New Orleans’ receivers are nice, but Brees is what makes that offense, and theyre passing game so ridiculously good.
Without his deadly accuracy and field awareness, I bet we wouldn’t even know most of their wrs names.

Is it consensus opinion or just rogue
that Miles Austin is both stronger and faster than DeSean Jackson?
I made the point that they’re both explosive, but for different reasons. You can’t touch Jackson and you can’t tackle Austin. Cowboy fans jumped all over to me to argue that you can’t touch Austin too because he’s even faster than Jackson.
That’s ridiculous!!!

I don't know why people bother talking with those buffoons over at BtB
The grand majority of them are morons who clearly know nothing about football. As for the rest, they’re still Cowboys fans, which means there’s a mutation in there somewhere.

Yeah, but
Romo’s November #s are really good. In fact, every November Cowboy fans are ready to vote Romo into the hall of fame, until his typical December meltdown

And you guys complain
about Cowboy’s fans bringing up Superbowl?
I assume you are trying to rub it in or talk trash? I was simplying making the comment that things have been much more evenly matched since Romo became our starter.
But that was very, very clever of you, you get a gold star for the day.
It's actually my point you nit
It gets annoying, doesn’t it?
And, not to mention, 44-6 happened within the last thirteen years!
Gold Stars
…make great toilet paper.
Thanks for stoppin’ by y’all.
Its less that we complain about you bringing up Super Bowls and more that we’re tired of the Cowboys living on faded glory. Your team has been pretty good in the regular season recently, but collapse in December and the playoffs pretty consistently. In a lot of ways, the 44-6 game was kind of indicative of how a lot of people, not just Eagles fans, look at Tony Romo. Great in October and November, terrible in December.
And like others have already said, your Super Bowls were years ago. 44-6 was less than a year ago and it was a game that the Cowboys absolutely needed to get to the playoffs and yet they rolled over and died.
Let the beasting begin.

Every November
I get to hear from Cowboy fans how AWESOME Romo is…and every December he melts down…
Of course they’re all high on Romo, it’s November.

My point is that
it had nothing to do with mine or the post I responed to. That is all. The poster said McNabb was 11-6 and 7-2 at home vs the Cowboys and I said Romo was 2-2 vs. McNabb.That is all, but thanks for the history lesson.
And last season has no more to do with this season than 2 years ago, or 5 years or the history of the NFL. We all know how much changes year to year in the NFL and even from week to week.
In regards to this..
TB and NYG (the version Philly faced last week) are two of the worst secondaries you can possibly face.
There is no doubt McNabb is playing some good ball right now..but he still has struggled with accuracy at points and has been shaky against a consistent pass rush at times. If he comes out against Dallas and hits his windows and is able to deal with an improving pass rush then the QB rating will mean something… not saying it isn’t there..but the two games sample against two miserable secondaries isn’t enough for me to drink the cool-aid.
Dallas’ secondary is much improved from last season but still lacks the ability to truly shut anyone down. There should be opportunities for big plays as well as some good chew em up drives. If McNabb can get time in the pocket via good protection/play action then he will probably put up good numbers on Sunday night as well…
Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game as a head coach..he has lost 4 home playoff games.
His longest tenure as head coach was 3 years.

One thing I've noticed
perusing the BGN site and being a regular on BTB is that these Eagles’ fans are not lacking in any confidence whatsoever. I don’t know if it’s false bravado or real or what, but it gets a little unseemly at times. At least the fans at BTB are a little more realistic and don’t think the Cowboys are goiung to win every game, or make wild excuses for the games they lost.
The Eagles have had a great front office for a decade and a fantastic defense, and McNabb is inching closer to the NFL HOF. And no doubt that the Eagles have pretty much owned Dallas since 2000. But really, you guys aren’t even the Buffalo Bills of the NFC. I admire the confidence, but how about a little humility now and then.
Should be a great game on Sunday night!
If you follow this sight alot
Most eagles fans on this sight are really bipolar, we get a good win and we can take on anyone… which is the state we are in now.
After a bad loss to the raiders, a lot of people were unsure if we could even beat the redskins.
After a bad win(if thats a thing) against the raiders most fans weren’t that confident that we could beat the giants.
Now that we are looking like who we thought we were, confidence is high.
Seriously?
At least the fans at BTB are a little more realistic and don’t think the Cowboys are goiung to win every game, or make wild excuses for the games they lost.
No offense but every team has people like this and from my personal experience, the Cowboys have the most skewed perception of reality every year when it comes to their team (at least for the last 13 yrs). I’m not saying you are that guy but if you want to catagorize us then you really have to look at your fanbase which is fulllll of homers.
Consider it positive thinking but a lot of us think we have a good chance of beating the Cowboys based on our progression, it being a home game, the fact that McNabb might of found his nitch for the season, our offense is crazy good, our OLine is finally playing together, our secondary continues to pick off the ball, and the use of our TE/FB is scary. It is not necessarily discrediting your team. You guys look stronger than you did last year but no matter how you look at it – a division game is gonna be tough.
It should be a good game regardless.

Cowboys fans are clearly the most delusional fans out there. I go over to BTB just to get some laughs because of the ludicrous shit I read over there. So many of you still think the Cowboys are “America’ s Team” when nobody calls them that in the country. “Romo is the best QB in the division”, when he never won a playoff game and is the King of Choke. Seriously, Cowboys fans are painfully idiotic and most of you are front runners because of the 5 super bowls from ancient history. Don’t give me that " we are unrealistic" bullshit. We expect greatness every year because our team is great and yours is pathetic.

Someone on BtB said 'I don't think it'll be as close as the Eagles hope'
I laughed so hard a blood vessel burst.
Username: the red scare
I think our secondary can hang with Philly’s receivers, our front 7 can get after McNabb and stop the run, and our offense can move the ball on anybody.
I don’t think this will be a blowout, but I have a feeling it’s not going to be as close as Iggles fans think.
What a collection of uneducated, uninformed idiots.
Their secondary can hang with Philly’s receivers? Maybe at the line of scrimmage, standing still.
Their front seven can stop Brian Westbrook? Their front seven can’t stop CADILLAC WILLIAMS.
Their offense can move the ball on anybody? Not Denver. And, save Miles Austin, not Kansas City, either.
It’s just such a crock of shit. This isn’t even delusional; this is mentally incapable of any reason.
Just keep thinking
that the Eagles will walk onto the field and win easily.
You are so right, the Eagles blow the Cowboys away and we stand no chance in any facet of the game. I predict something along the lines of 56-0. Dallas should just forfit and stay home, save the plane fare.
Congratulations on your impending Superbowl victory, it is just a matter of time.
So you're gonna handpick one quote from hundreds of posts that give the Eagles respect?
Username: gee-roj
I honestly think that Philly will win this Sunday too…
…and will be pleasantly surprised if it works out differently. Really more than anything, (baring key injuries) it’s the home field advantage that will come into play.
EVERY blog has dumb “we’ll blow everyone out” homers, I can’t stand it when people like you lump everyone into that same category.
I remember when he took that name. DeSean is Better Than Asante.

Dispite what most people think
Donovan is having a great year statistically, Here are his numbers
Completion percent: 60.2%
Yards: 1,008
Yards per attempt: 7.6
TDs: 9
Ints: 1
QB Ratting: 103.2
Rush Yards: 74
Rush Average: 5.3
Rush TD: 1
Fumbles Lost: 1
All this and he has only played four and a half games. That putts him on pace to have 3024 yards and 27 TDs with only 4 interceptions.
Let's get it.
I was really hoping this would be the year he hit 4,000 yards.

I’ve said it before. Other than McNabb being the Eagles quarterback, I really want him to do well just because of all the shit he’s taken in his career. If, God forbid, he does leave the Eagles and go to a non-NFC East team, I would root for him to win a ring there. Naturally, I want him to win a ring here, but I want him to just get a ring in his career.
I think if he gets the ring, he’ll be HoF material. Until he gets the ring though, he’s only Hall of Very Good.
Let the beasting begin.

thats what I say man
I always root for McNabb after all the stuff he has been through(Boo’d at the draft, Rush Limbaugh, in my opinion never getting enough credit for what he has done here). As far as the Hall of Fame goes I agree with you as well, but Jim Kelly is in the Hall of Fame and McNabb’s numbers are better than his already and they both have similar post season careers to this point.
Let's get it.
Hey now
McNabb’s only 32. He’s still got time.
I personally think he’ll last in an Eagles uni until 34. That’s three seasons, including the remainder of this year. Two-plus more years of what we have right now is something I’ll take in regards to nabbing that elusive ring.
+1 Million
Fuck the haters.
The man is a class act and a model professional athlete yet he is soooo overly judged for no real reason.
Plus, McNabb has done more with less than any other QB that I can think of in recent memory. I’d like to see someone else try and get production out of the likes of Todd Stinkston and Jimmy Trash.
I really hope he can win the big one..as an Eagle so that the critics can Finally be silenced…

Race Card Playing?
You mean defending himself against political figures such as Rush Limbaugh when they make racial allegations for no other purpose but to garnish some extra attention…
Blaming losses on who? If anything the majority of any late game meltdown or would be comeback attempt should be placed on poor play calling and time management. Obviously McNabb has blame for poor throws, but McHaters always like to throw 100% the blame on him which just isn’t true.
Hurt ribs, sports hernia, playing hurt referring to i believe 2 or 3 years ago…let’s throw the ball 50+ times and see if he can last the whole season..which obviously he didn’t, and then balance the offense with Garcia and make the playoffs…that’s just poor playcalling. Ever notice how the playcalling has always shifted when McNabb was injured. Now, we’re finally seeing what a balanced McNabb lead offense can do.
And whiner?…guy threw 4 tds on a broken fucking ankle. Give me a break. At the very least come back with some valid arguments like dirt balls or not hitting receivers in stride as much as he should which he definitely does not.
