The Linc - LeSean McCoy Picks The Giants Over Patriots

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - FEBRUARY 01:  LeSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles speaks at the podium during a press conference for the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Year in the Super Bowl XLVI Media Center at the J.W. Marriott Indianapolis on February 1, 2012 in Indianapolis, Indiana.  (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

LeSean McCoy begrudgingly picks Giants - NFC East Blog - ESPN
"I'm going to be honest," McCoy said, smiling a wan smile. "I really want the Patriots to win. But I feel like the Giants are probably going to win."

Sam Donnellon: Birds' Castillo in no-win situation
As bad as it was to be Juan Castillo last season - and only the calloused among us didn't feel for the guy - this season is an absolute no-win for him. If the Eagles' defense turns around, he will get little credit for it, even if he should. If it bombs again, he will likely be out of a job along with his boss.

Bob Ford: Sitting out another Super Bowl, Reid talks just tinkering
You don't want to hear this, and if you are reading a newspaper, feel free to throw it. If you are reading on a computer or tablet, it's better to just click on something else, maybe the 20 Hottest Professional Bowlers. In any case, you don't want to hear it, but the Eagles had horrendously bad luck when it came to turnovers in 2011. Balls bounced off someone's foot and went the wrong way. Passes glanced off helmets and shoulder pads and took the exact path - the only path - into a defender's hands. It added up. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg rubbed his forehead midway through the season and said, "We've had some strange ones."

The view on what to do about DeSean depends largely on what your personal view of his future is.

Didinger: Doubts still remain about Castillo
Eagles players may insist keeping Juan Castillo was the right move, but saying the status quo was the best option is a lot of spin, says Ray Didinger.

DeSean Jackson is Eagles' next priority | The News Journal | delawareonline.com
The Eagles’ options with Jackson range from letting him walk in free agency to retaining him for one year under the franchise tag, which would pay him close to $9.5 million in 2012. They could also use the tag to buy more time for negotiations, but the Eagles and Jackson have been down the negotiation road before and still haven’t made strides.

well said Shady

Well said.

Nobody else cares that he said DeSean wants to be back? I realize that’s a what-else-can-he-say situation about another guy’s contract but I’m encouraged that they want to keep the band together.

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.

Agree. Because the universe hates Eagles and their fans.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

Its utterly frustrating. Its even more so when you think that of the last 4 years of playoffs that Philly teams were in, something like 80% of the champions beat Philly on the way to winning. Ugh.

2011 New York Giants- Worst NFC Champs Ever

Look back at the History. McNabb threw 3 picks in 2 of the 3 NFC championship games, and the Superbowl. The NFC game he didn’t throw 3 picks in, against the Rams, he had two turnovers.

I actually dislike Brady more than I dislike the Giants.

is that wrong? The way I see it is we have beat up the Giants 7 out of the past 8 times or something, and Brady and company beat us in the big show by cheating. Some things are unforgivable.

come on fellas...

Watch the superbowl and enjoy the product on the field. That eagles/patriots superbowl was a good game until mcpukeypants went “full romo”. I watched that game and was going for the eagles….i was happy for my friends, who are mostly birds fans.

I'll be with a bunch of Giants fans

So long as they’re decent to me, we usually are with each other – the exception being that miracle pt 2 were they shat on me all game until it happened. I’ll be happy for them, but Fuck the Giants and antrelle(Sp) Rolle.

Yeah. Maybe the show’s funny (I’ve never seen it but comedy central’s been advertising the hell out of it) and in general I accept that BGN is now covered w/ads, but that one’s just unpleasant.

Wtf is up with this half naked dude on the sides

I hope they lose in a heartbreaker final play fumble or get blown away.

i hate the eagles.

But I respect the eagles because everyone hates the cowboys. Haha yes this is coming from a giant fans. But anyway.. I feel like the only way the eagles get better is with reid out and a healthy qb

I did not read the article, but why does donnellon think castillo won’t get credit if the eagles defense improves a lot and is good next year? I will certainly give him a ton of credit. Especially after seeing their improvement at the end of the year.

by PhilsForever on Feb 2, 2012 7:02 PM EST reply actions  

if you want to know what Donnellon thinks

Read the article.

It’s mind-bendingly stupid, and I agree with you and not him in that if the defense is better, we’d gladly give Castillo credit. It’s really not a groundbreaking piece, just suggests that we’ll give credit to the new draft picks & Bowles. And then meanders into a place where Michael Vick won’t be able to stay healthy because he’s 6-feet tall. Yep, really.

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring it Home for Jerome.
