Aw, Tish, you know you'd have been back in here heaping scorn and disdain on your team if they'd lost. Poor Packers.

Nah, Fanny. I'd just be disappointed. I only talk smack about other teams. Heehee.

THANK YOU EAGLES there is nothing that I wanted more than to watch the Packers lose, and what a fitting way for them to lose, good old Favre throwing an interception. And who says Farve is worthless, he helped his team lose. Way to go Philly.

Well, all 4 of the teams I was rooting for lost this weekend, however all 4 games were close and played pretty well. I'd consider all 4 play off quality. While I was rooting for the Packers, I'd like ot say congratulations to all Eagles fans--they played better when it counted, and made fewer mistakes--or fewer mistakes that had a big affect. I look forward to next week's 2 games--if this week's showings are any indication, we should see some good football.

That was one ugly interception Favre threw. Being a Patriots fan who remembers Bledsoe's "blue" period, I thought I'd seen them all, but that was a classic. To throw the ball down field in overtime, without looking, where no receiver exists and have two defenders playing "paper, rock, scissors" to see which one gets to intercept it, is the stuff of legend. I bet Bledsoe's sitting at home, trying to come up with a way of topping it next year. I'd also like to give a hats off to the Packer's defensive coordinator. It's not easy to have the game won if you can just stop your opponent from making a 4th and 26 and come up with a defensive scheme on the spur of the moment that gives up 27. First, you have to allow a receiver to get that far downfield and then you have to instruct your secondary to stare off into the crowd until the ball's been caught. I guess the idea of playing the entire secondary and most of the linebackers deep and forcing McNabb to throw underneath seemed a little unsporting.

It was very sad seeing Brett end his season with such an unseemly brain fart. On the other hand the Eagles are a sometimes exciting team and Donovan and his Scottish cousin Steve will be interesting to watch next week.

An unseemly brain fart. No wonder you and I were once married, Wink.

It just might make your little heart go pitter patter, Adven, to know that , on the View today (yes that hour long bastion of all things female!) two male guests firmly predicted that the New England Pats would have no trouble winning their game next week (against the Colts, is it??) Two of the hosts had extremely knowledgeable family members making predictions...Elizabeth's husband and Merediths young son. PS:It might help to note that Elizabeth's husband is a QB for the Washington Redskins

Ok, since my cutie Farve is out of it (part of what makes him exciting is those wild passes, but they also get him in trouble), I guess I'll have to root for the Colts. They were good enough to cream my team (the Broncos) and I hate hearing overconficence that the Pats will have no trouble against them... so Go Colts! Yuck. There's actually no one left to cheer on. All my favorites are out of it. Glad to see KC out of it though. *evil grin*

Jan, now that Joe Gibbs is in Washington, it might be safe to say taht Elisabeth's husband WAS a QB for the Washington team. LOL.

Thanks, Jan. I don't normally watch The View - too much chance of me getting in touch with my femimine side - but if two males ( they could be cadavers for all I care), predicted the Patriots, then I can only assume they are truly enlightened souls who know what they are talking about. Had they picked the Colts, of course, I would have questioned not only their expertise, but their ancestry.

LOL Tish and Adven Is he a bad QB, Tish? I don't know him at all but, since he just got signed this year I think, I am assuming he is 3rd or 4th or 5th string or something like that?

Jan, he was their starting QB down the homestretch this season...I don't think they won any games under his stewardship, but if they did, it was purely accidental. Now let me be fair: the offensive line in Washington is/was terrible and the QBs were getting so beaten up, it was astonishing. One QB refused to rejoin the team because he didn't want to go through the lack of protection. It would be that Tim Hasselbeck is the next Joe Montana, but one could never tell. He did not have the tools around him to succeed. My guess is that he is a below average professional QB (he had been dropped from the *practice squad* of the Eagles last season), but, given the right system and the right coaching, he might eventually be OK.

just fyi - ramsey did win one- against the giants - he was 1 and 6, while Ramsey was 4 and 7 when looking i found this cool article that came out today and this was a part of it
Quote:Gibbs keeps no clocks in the coaches' offices. Moral of the story: You work until you get the job done. "It's like Las Vegas,'' his offensive line coach, Joe Bugel, said. "Time doesn't matter.'' (Not to pick on Steve Spurrier, who is such an easy target these days, but my favorite story of the Spurrier regime is that one of his assistants saw newly signed quarterback Tim Hasselbeck in the office one Tuesday, an off-day, at 4 in the afternoon studying tape. The assistant said: "What are you doing in here? It's your day off! Get out of here.'' Hasselbeck, sadly, obeyed, even though he realized he was going to be playing soon, and he knew next-to-nothing about the offense. Instead of studying six more hours so he would know his stuff when practice began the next day, Hasselbeck left the office. That would've never happened under Gibbs.)

Agreed Adven. Old habits die blah, blah, blah. Had to come up with something to make you take notice since you seem on the verge of assembling quite a Pats fan base (stacked with females or with stacked females). I'm thinking if this keeps up I may have to ask the court to increase my alimony or at least force you to cease and desist from recruiting unsuspecting females into your harem. You're damn lucky Mr. Brady is so freaking cute or you'd be up that proverbial creek. But then again you're used to using those big feet of yours to get you wherever you want to go.

Well, Wink, Granny and I are battling for the hearts and souls of the fence sitters. She is using the shameless tactic of being pleasant and sporting. My only choice was to be sneaky and underhanded. It's a role unfamiliar to me, but I'm doing by best.

10 Signs God Exists...and He's an Eagles Fan Philly.Com 1. Brian Westbrook's 84-yard punt return with just over a minute to play against the Giants. 2. Three words: Rush. Limbaugh. OxyContin. 3. Mike Sherman deciding to punt on fourth-and-inches. 4. Something on Page One other than the bug story. (Note: This is a personal sign for Mayor Street, only.) 5. BYO hoagies. 6. 4th and 26. [altered by Tisha: too parochial for non-Philadelphians to understand] 7. Six cars torched in Linc parking lot on Sunday, no injuries and not a drop of beer lost. 8. The Eagles cheerleaders... on cold days. 9. Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb holding hands. 10. Now we get to play Charlotte.

Everybody is talking about that 4th and 26! It will go down in football lore like the Buffalo Bills come from behind victory in the playoffs years ago. What was that point deficit again? Wasn't it over 30?? That was great football this weekend. Congrats to the teams that won! And better luck next year to those that didn't. Everyone fought well! I really enjoyed the games.

Can I call 'em or what?! Greg Robinson just resigned as defensive coordinator for the Chiefs. I thought it would have happened on Sunday, though, so I was off a bit.
