Not surprising, though, to see that you're still making excuses for Fat Andy and McNabb.




Really hate to diss a fellow Birds fan ... but you CLEARLY don't have the mentality of a winner...


:mad: you can disagree with a birds fan but instead of calling declan out it is better to prove your point through examples...

Thx Lori. It's all gravy, baby. I used to live with a guy like that, my dad. Dogged the franchise every chance he got. Booth is probably one of those crumb bum fans that STILL hated on em after we beat the Giants to go to the 5th NFCCG in 8 years. Peckerheads like that arent worth my taint flakes. Fugaze fans.

While I would have rather seen a Superbowl victory last year... Beating the Giants sure made my year!!

Of course I wouldve loved a ring last year, but only 1 team every year gets to hold that distinction. If we keep putting ourselves in position to excel in this league, we're going to break through. I could then die, the day after the parade, a happy man. (not exactly)

You're getting troll'd.

So THAT'S what they look like? Got it.




Why couldnt Asante have just held on to that throw by Eli to lock up the SB?

Shatter my hopes and dreams gently, Matt. :D

Mike, just cause I like you. I will spare you the photo's of the other 2 rings.

All kidding aside, I think both teams have a big shot of getting to the big game this year. It still amazes me that the Birds let the Cards march right down the field in the NFC title game (but I would be lying if I didn't say I was happy about it.) People want to bash D Mac, but he did enough to get his team to the dance last year, it was the vaunted defense who s.hit the bed.

EXACTLY, my thoughts as well.

Going into that game, if you would've told me that the O would score 25 and we still lose, I wouldve sent you on a psychiatrist hunt. The D was outplayed and outschemed in the first half, and downright embarrased on the Cards' game-winning drive. But in many eyes, that is somehow DMac's fault.

Don only takes the heat because he's the captain of the ship.

Forgot to thank you for sparing me on the rings, and agreed on this years assessment of our team's chances. I really can't wait until we square off.

Exactly, MaTH716


Coughlin and Manning got the job done in what ... their third or fourth season together.


Reid and McNabb have come up empty in TEN tries now ... and these so-called Birds 'fans' like declansharbor seem more than willing to give them another decade.



Unbelievable…

declansharbor 04-28-2009 03:24 PM

Yea, because head coach/QB combo's are the sole reason teams win rings. :rolleyes:


and btw, my left nut carries more fandom than you ever will.




Let me know when your done Tarzan'ing off of Carroll's pubes.

That was an absolute team victory/run. They big performances from the offense, defense and specials teams. The coaching staff did a great job and a few breaks went there way to.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I think D Mac is an absolute warrior. He plays hard, to win every week and until now he hasn't had the weapons to throw to. The one year he had a reciever (T.O.) they went to the Super Bowl. I also think Andy Reid gets a bit conservitive in big games. They both have had tremendous runs in Philly and should be applauded. But now there are no more of excuses, they need to win now. It's not acceptable to be a bridemaid anymore, it's time to be the bride. But unfortunately for them they play in maybe the most competitive division in the leauge. It will definately be exciting and when the smoke clears there is a good chance that one of the two teams is there representing the NFC. Hopefully it's the team in Blue and I'm not talking about the Cowgirls. ;)

Yes and the frkkn Alabama lineman that did not even go to combines
and weighs as much as two trucks got drafted in the top 5. What did
he show at the combines? Its the upside. Nicks has better than average
speed for his size
, and his speed will improve when he loses weight.

He can go up and catch balls in traffic. The trend is towards larger
receivers as CB's get smaller and faster. If they try putting a safety on
him he is strong enough to get off the line. I see nothing wrong with the pick
at all. They wanted a Burress type. The got the body type that can
develop into one. Who were you looking for?

Hilarious. Hakeem Nicks, 6'1" 212 lbs. Plaxico Burress, 6'5" 232 lbs. Yeah, same player. I wasn't looking for anyone, I'm not a Giant fan, but Nicks is the best player in this draft? He's the definition of a possession receiver. That's not what Burress was. Burress was a dominant player.

What the hell are you reading?
Where on God's green earth did I type the bolded?

Did you ever watch the kid play, ever? He played with a
poor QB on a team that relied on D and running. Nicks was the
one guy on the team that made a difference. There are a lot of
tall guys that are not strong enough to go get the ball in the air.
Nicks is very strong, I dont care what he is listed at. I watched
him go up between people on very poorly thrown balls and jump
while off balance and catch the ball while getting punished.

Who did you want? And I am not a Giants fan either, the kid can
play. How can you say he its a bad pick unless you got someone better.
If he develops, he will be a very good receiver. Its not fair
to compare him to guys like Crabtree and Macklin. They constantly
had plays run for them. They were on teams that put the ball in the
air every play. Nicks forced NC to throw the ball his way
because they could not do much else, especially later in the season.

I did not say he is Plexiglass, they want someone more like him.
Who else were you going in this draft to fit that bill? Giants had
a good year off. They got Canty, their D is set. They did a good job
in the offseason imo. They should win the East, they improved their
team considering that Plexiglass was done with them.

Steven H. Crist. King Glorious said Nicks was the best player in the draft, which was why I responded. And of course you butted in with a bunch of long-winded nonsense. Yes, I've seen him play. He's a decent receiver. I really don't care what kind of offense he played in, he's not great at anything and he wouldn't have been so highly regarded if it weren't for a huge Gator Bowl. You compared him to Burress, which is absurd.

BS.
He was already considered a top reciever. And comparing
and equating are two very diff. things. A comparison does
not mean equality. Stop with the
weaseling. The Giants made a good pick with the receivers
that were left. If you have another, present please.

Please give me the rules about following up assessments
(butting in a thread that was off limits) in the moderator's handbook
and I will attempt to follow the mandates.

Holy crap. For the last time, I wasn't saying Nicks sucks, I was saying that it's freaking batshit ridiculous to call him the best player in the draft. Stop following me.
