Eagles fall to Cardinals in NFC title game

The Eagles have half the equation right. Only half. They've been to the playoffs seven times in the last nine seasons, and five of those times reached the NFC Championship Game.

Fly Eagles Fly
On the road to Misery
Fly Eagles Fly
Can Mcnabb & Andy Reid

There is NO more excuse to keep these idiots

Fire the gruesome twosome (Reid/McNabb)... we'll collect the peices later.

[Flyers Fan]

Good season Eagles!

You did the best you could, just came up a little short yesterday after making up from a bad 1st half. The weird thing is that I don't have any hate towards the Cardinals so I can only wish the best for them in their first Superbowl and beat those Steelers. For you Steeler fans, I hope your secondary is ready to go because you're about to face one He!! of a passing attack.

Good luck to both teams in the Superbowl!

I suppose you have a better option at QB in line? You think Kolb would have thown 3 TD's and 300+ passing yards? McNabb played quite well yesterday other than a couple bad passes.

Here we go already!! FIRE someone, Trade someone.....were you saying that Saturday? You people and bandwagon "FRONTRUNNERS", those guys played their hearts out and came up short to a better team. Except it and hope they get better for next season.

McNabb is pathetic!!!!!!!!
The guy cannot hit a receiver in the chest who is ten yards from him. The entire game would have been different if he did not screw up several easy passes in the first half.

He is the reason the birds will never win the big one, or even get there.

Maybe he should have picked up the cardinals phone and called his agent.

Who are the MAROONS now??????

I think it is great that we have ONE MORE YEAR THE EAGLES ARE RINGLESS!!! Thanks for the entertainment from the CITY OF LOSERS!!!!

Every cloud has a silver lining - look on the bright side; at least now we can be sure that downtown Philly won't be looted and burned.

I heard McNabb was getting MVP
(Most Vomit Projected) during a game. He may be good, even great, in regular season, but if you can't handle the playoffs RETIRE. These lame praises every year about how many post seasons he got us to, but HE CAN'T DELIVER WHEN IT COUNTS!!!

Geez. If the Beagles could have made it to the big game 2 or 3 more times and won a couple of them, they would go down as one of the great football teams of all time. I gues that is just not their lot in life. Oh well, chin up, stiff upper lip and all that sort of thing. At least the Phillies won.

guess, sorry about the spelling.

The Eagles will never win the big games with this group and they are not getting any younger. They would do well to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. The Giants, Cowboys and Redskins have multiple Super Bowl victories in their back pockets while the Eagles have nothing but years of futility. It is actually pathetic.

I like how people conveniently ignore the dropped passes by receivers and a poor defensive effort by jim johnson's boys. Don't just put blame on McNabb. If he wans't with this team they wouldn't even have sniffed the playoffs this year.
It would be nice if for once the Eagles front office got McNabb a playmaking WR.

The Eagles should have prayed to Barack Obama for guidance and wisdom. Had they done so, they would have won.

What about the inauguration day ceremonies for Barack Almighty?

[Curious Questioner]

I have done some serious jabbing and taunting over the past few days. Unfortunately, it's all over. Honestly, I thought they were going to win this game. Oh well.

Now, for the fans who are calling for Reid and McNabb to be axed, a few thoughts.

Look at McNabb's stats for the season before you make your declarations of "heads should roll". Did he blow a few passes yesterday? Sure. Unfortunately, there were two in a row in their last drive. However, what QB doesn't blow a few passes here and there. Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely not a McBadd fan. I don't think he's franchise material. But, he doesn't deserve to be fire based upon his overall performance this season. Now, his leadership and motivational skills are another story. Look there for his problems.

Reid: He's taken the Eagles pretty far in his career. Again, look at the record.

So, what do I think is the problem? In a word, Philthadelphia. I say load up the trucks and get out of Dodge. This stinking, filthy excuse for a city has nothing to offer any more.

Personally, I think the entire NFL needs an overhaul. It once was a TEAM game. I know you Eagles fans hate the Cowboys. But, look at them and other great teams from the 70's. Staubach, Griese, Dawson, Plunkett, Unitas, Starr, never went in the endzone and did some ridiculous dance or dunked the football over the goal posts. The game has been hijacked by TV producers, PR guys, agents and big advertising dollars. I say zero tolerance on steroids and any criminal behavior.

Remember, our kids watch these meatheads. There is no way a linemen become 300 pounds naturally.

The NFL needs a serious leader who will kick A__ and take names.

[Curious Questioner]

Holy cow! They censored part of that post. I put initials for Public Relations in front of the word "guys". I didn't know that was an offensive abbreviation!!

Time to clean house in professional sports and division college sports. Stop the NFL from using the NCAA as it's little developmental league. If they want that let them start their own developmental league like baseball.

[What the Crap]

I think the biggest problem with the eagles is that everyone complains about the performance and then goes out and buys another sweatshirt, hat, bumper sticker, whatever. This team has a habitual problem of letting their fans down. They say that they are busted up and then return to their million dollar homes. Everyone makes excuses for them, well the D did not perform, the O missed some passes, don't blame it on McNabb and Reid. Yeah, Well guess what, McNabb is the one with the ball and Reid is the guy calling the plays. This bullcrap about the Defense not showing up yesterday, Try playing 40 minutes a game for 7 weeks because Saint Donovan and Saint Andy can't manage a clock.

Yes we don't have a better option in Philly for QB or Head Coach, Which is why I have decided to say SCREW YOU PHILADELPHIA EAGLES! I am becoming a Lions fan, they at least are bad all the time, and aren't the Cowboys.

[dying allentown]

you can't say P R in Allentown....or Por k Cho p for that matter

[Go Big Blue]

HAHA, losers yet again. What a failure of an organization.

They didn't belong in the championship game anyway.
