Preseason has just started and the real deal starts in four weeks. Who's everyone's early pick for the Super Bowl and who's already rooting for the first pick in the draft next year( Dolphin's fans, I'm talking to you.)

Super Bowl Pats vs. Bucs
Biggest suprise team Bills
Biggest Disappoinment Dolphins and Falcons ( Vick won't last the year)
Worst team Chargers
MVP Peyton Manning ( my heart says Brady, but my mind says otherwise)

I'm a Packers fan, so I hope they have another good year. If Favre stays healthy, they should be fine.

I have to agree with your choice for MVP, but I can't predict much else. I didn't really follow the off season.

Sorry I really only follow the Redskins... but on that note... I'm curious to see what Gibbs has done to the team...

Hmmmm.....

I also have an emotional dilemna.

My heart says Bengals in super bowl...but I know that's not going to happen. This year. Maybe next.

If Edge stays healthy....Colts vs. The Eagles

As much as I hate the eagles, kearse and Owens added to the team, plus the return of Jeremiah Trotter. I can't see the eagles not making at least the NFC title.

Biggest disappointment: Dallas and Kansas City
Testaverde is just not going to cut it, in my opinion, and KC is going to have an overconfident slip.

Surprises: Broncos and Falcons

I have to say the Broncos are looking good offensively, and if they can gel on defense together, they might go pretty far. And the Falcons, because i think IF Vick stays healthy, and he might, he can take them back to the playoffs. I think he'll stand in the pocket more, and this will make his scrambling even more effective.

MVP: Again...if Vick stays healthy, or, Mcnabb. Because Mcnabb now has an offense that can't be stopped. Maybe Owens, if ge makes the impact that's expected. Manning is a good choice, especially with the new rules emphasis, meaning that he can pretty much pick apart a defense now.

I think that the Eagles could still be a major force in the NFC (though I may have clouded judgement since one of our former QBs is with the Eagles now.)

dissapointment: falcons(they arnt shit without vick)
worst team: redskins
MVP: steve McNAIR

The regular season is going to have to start soon or I'm going to wear out the eye on my PS2 playing Madden 2005.

If Edge stays healthy....Colts vs. The Eagles


You rawk :D That's my favorite teams. I'd love that and hate it at the same time. I'd have to flip a coin to decide who to root for :P

I'm hoping Terrell Owens makes a big impact with the Eagles. It's about time they got McNabb a real receiver to pass to. If Jevon Kearse stays healthy, their defense should be improved as well. I was so mad when they let Hugh Douglas go a couple seasons ago. Finally they bring in someone capable of filling his shoes.

The Colts have all the weapons as usual on offense, it's just up to the defense to get better. Especially in the secondary.

Hey Coach what QB would that be on the Eagles? Blake or Hall? Detmer has been there a while, so I'm gonna guess he's not it.

I think it will be a Pats-Eagles Superbowl where the Pats will (obviously) come out on top :)

ugh.. egles... blahhhhh they stole javon kerse... :D titans and carolina..:D

I really don't care, just as long as the Panthers are in the Superbowl again this year, it will all be great! :D

I really don't care, just as long as the Panthers are in the Superbowl again this year, it will all be great! :D

Being a Pats fan, this is going to sound odd but I want the Panthers again. That had to be one of the greatest Super Bowls ever and if they met up again the results could be the other way with your Cats coming out on top.

I actually sat thru the "NFL Yearbook" about the Panthers on ESPN yesterday. That team has my total respect and I hope the O-line holds up because I think that will be the stumbling block for them. I'm only picking the Bucs to take the NFC because they got rid of the cancers on their team(Sapp and ME-shawn) but that whole conference is one big crap shoot.

A Pats and Panthers rematch would be sweet. Let's cross our fingers.

Yes i know! It was the best superbowl I had ever seen! I loved it... i just hope that the panthers actually take it home this year. I would love it! :)

GO PANTHERS!!!

hmmm....

I think I'm the only Bengal fan on the face of the earth. :p

I though last years super bowl was great. It started out...boring, but as soon as Janet's b00b popped out, the super bowl rocked. Best ending since the Titans and Rams(...ughh....I hate the rams...)

oh wait....



wasn't there some commercials too?

The sad thing is that the bar I was watching it in, no one noticed the "wardrobe malfunction". We were all getting drinks or food and it's not like they had someone good playing at halftime like Evanescence so we weren't paying attention. I didn't find out until the next morning and I had to check out the tape.....in slow-motion.....repeatedly..... :p

HAHA! Yeah, i recorded the superbowl last year, cause of course my favorite team was playing! :p
But after it was over, my dad told me to rewind it so he could watch the half-time show again. PERV!!! :rolleyes: :D

oh well... lol...

And lord, it that the only thing people remember about last years superbowl??? :rolleyes: :D


No. My favorite team won so that's what I remember the most.






Janet's boob comes second.

And a fine second it was :D

On a different note, is it possible for the Dolphin's to lose anymore players before the season starts? Not that I'm complaining because I have a natural hatred for the Phins but even I feel a little sorry for them.

I'm a panthers fan but i don't see them returning to the superbowl.

The playoffs? maybe. it really depends on whether or not tampa bay gets their shit together this year.


After going 1-15 two years ago, it was great to finally see the panthers put together an awesome season. The superbowl rocked, btw. One of the best that i've seen.

And a fine second it was :D

Heh, no kidding. I knew Williams retired and David Boston is out for the year...now I see they've lost Chris Akins and Shawn Wooden. They're going to have to field a team of replacement players soon :eek:

They sent a letter to Williams demanding he return to play for them or repay 8 million dollars he was already paid. I hope he didn't spend it all on marijuana :D

As much as I hate to say it. I think the Eagles will represent the NFC this year. Too much talent not to finally break through, and Andy Reid is a very good coach.

The AFC , well Peyton and his weapons will come close, and I think they will find just enought defense this year to get past The very capable Patriots.


Biggest dissappointment: Dallas and Tampa
Biggest Surprises: Houston And Washington

MVP: Peyton Manning
(favorite team: Redskins)

Biggest Surprises: Houston And Washington

I could possibly see Houston making the playoffs this year. They've been improving over the last couple of seasons.

I could possibly see Houston making the playoffs this year. They've been improving over the last couple of seasons.

I have a feeling they will too. They've actually had a pretty decent defense that has continued to improve each season, and now I think the offense is beginning to catch up. I think their running back Domanick Davis could have a big year, and silence the critics. Provided he stays healthy of course.

Well, after the beatdown my Pats took, preseason or not, it looks like the Bengals might be good this year.

I don't think I've said that phrase in 15 years.

Well, after the beatdown my Pats took, preseason or not, it looks like the Bengals might be good this year.

I don't think I've said that phrase in 15 years. they've also been steadily improving over the past two years. They were what, 8-8 last year? And had chances at a wildcard spot?

And they've got Carson Palmer getting ready for pro. They could be a force to be reckoned with in a couple years.

Well, after the beatdown my Pats took, preseason or not, it looks like the Bengals might be good this year.

I don't think I've said that phrase in 15 years.

I wouldn't worry too much about how a team performs in the preseason. Remember the Bills always sucked ass in the preseason but went to three straight superbowls. They lost of course, but they still got there :)

That's four straight Super Bowls. I'm reminded all the time by my wife, her family, my dad, my grandmother and half my crew at work that they went to four in a row. It's funny now because my Pats actually got it right the last two times they went.

True story, six months after the first Bills SB loss, my dad ran into Scott "wide right" Norwood in downtown Fredonia (old training camp site) at a hot dog stand. My dad, in his lack of common sense goes up to him and asks if he is Scott Norwood. When he says, "Yes." My dad, puts his arm around him and says,"I'm sorry, if that kick was only 18 inches more to the left."

As if poor Norwood hadn't heard that about a thousand friggin' times before. :(

That's four straight Super Bowls. I'm reminded all the time by my wife, her family, my dad, my grandmother and half my crew at work that they went to four in a row. It's funny now because my Pats actually got it right the last two times they went.


Doh, that's right...four :P I'm not a Bills fan at all. I was so sick of seing them make the SB every year. I guess we probably won't have to worry about a run like that again for a while though ;)

I'm a huge Bronco's fan and am excited about the upcoming year. They haven't had this good of a team since the Super Bowl years. I wish good luck to all the other NFL teams in trying to throw against John Lynch & Champ Bailey.

I could possibly see Houston making the playoffs this year. They've been improving over the last couple of seasons.

Maybe if they didn't have the Colts in their division...

With the Bills losing two QB's and Lawyer Milloy along with their RB's battling, are the Pats going to even have any competition in the AFC east?

Not likely. It's hard to imagine the Jets being a threat and well Miami pretty much would need a pull off a miracle with the losses they've had.

I just read on ESPN.com that Hugh Douglas has re-joined the Eagles. That makes me happy :D

cowboys all the way there gonna go un notcied.

Titans to do even better than last year and go all the way to the superbowl

Less than 32 hours to kickoff.....and I have to work that night. :(
Honestly, my Pats do better when I'm at work ( 5-0 the last 2 years)

Packers had a bad preseason, but everything will be alright for the first match. I'm not worrying!!

Boy, did we escape by the skin of our teeth. Still, a win is a win. GO PATRIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im surprised no one has revived this for the playoffs.

So in the NFC Championship its going to be the Eagles vs the Falcons,(the dirty bird game) and in the AFC it will be the Steelers vs the Patriots.

Predictions:
NFC game- Falcons. Vick is a madman.

AFC game- (this is the Super Bowl in my oponion) Gotta go w/ the Pats. After what they did to Indy last week, I dont see anyone beating them.


Super Bowl- Pats vs Falcons.

The Pats will repeat.

I disagree. The Eagles showed that they are in fact a Super Bowl team, even without Owens, who I hear will be back for the Super Bowl *when* the Eagles make it. :p Reid is an amazing coach, and sees what his team is capable of, and so have so many other teams.

Now the Patriots definitely have a shot, now that Pittsburgh barely scraped by their defeat over the Jets.

My prediction is New England and Philly. Yes, I am biased to the Eagles (obviously, look at my avatar) but I think they'll be able to handle the Falcons.

3 reasons I think this:

1. The last time the Eagles were in the Super Bowl was 1982. The year I was born. This is the first year in a LONG time that I've been this much into football, which means that out of all the years I've been alive, the Eagles were saving their Super Bowl Championship for me to appreciate and enjoy it 110%. (lol :p)

2. The Boston Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 80 some odd years, why stop there with the teams that always slacked off right before they got the title?

3. Reggie White, wherever he is, will pull the proverbial strings neccasary for us to make it this year.

So, as much as I was saying it was going to be a Pennsylvania Super Bowl, I have changed my opinion to New England and Philly. Yep. That's what it's going to be.

Let's go Patriots!! clap-clap clap-clap-clap

http://www.nflfanstore.com/patriots/patriotshe.gif


I'm peeved that the Jets lost last weekend. I'd rather the Pats play the Jets because I KNOW that they can beat them. However, the Pats vs. the Steelers game should be awesome.

I'm still pissed that the Packers lost. At least I was hoping for the Jets to do something good, but that didn't happen. I'm expecting a Steelers/Eagles superbowl.

There was a joke circulating about the Jets kicker who missed those two field goals...

Apparently he attempted to commit suicide twice. The first time he was short and the second time he was wide left....I didn't find that funny :(

Yeah... that's REALLY not funny. I don't like that. I'm TOTALLY rooting for the Steelers here. Both my parents are HUGE Steelers fans, and somehow managed to make me a fan too. And now I live in Pittsburgh, soo...

LET'S GO BLACK AND GOLD!!!

I'm going for the Patriots. They are my home team, after all. And, they are the favorites to win the game, even if the Steeler's have home field advantage. They stomped over the Colts, the top scoring team in the NFL, thus proving that they can win against the best offenses. And also, they have Corey Dillon for the game this time.

So go Patriots! They can score as a team, win as a team, and play as a team.

Since my Panthers didn't even make it into the playoffs, I'm gonna have to go with Pittsburgh vs. Phily super bowl. I think that Pittsburgh is going to barely beat New England, and Phily will squeak out a win against Atlanta. I think Pittsburgh is going to end up taking home the trophy.

I have a dream guys...and it's the Black and Orange playing the Silver and Blue...Bengals vs. Lions...

...until that day, I will root for the Eagles...that is...until they face Michael Vick. I love Vick. The Falcons are amazing. I've never seen a team with so much speed. Rossum is ridiculous, Dunn is finally showing what I knew he could do, and Vick is a damn amusement park...Falcon's vs. Steelers, with Falcons taking it home.

I'm so pissed that the chargers and the packers lost their game. :confused:
I don't know if I'm going to try to see the Superbowl this year . Because here in France it will be 2 o' clock of the morning, I guess ... :(
If I can watch it I will choose my team at that moment.

I don't know but I think we will maybe see Patriots vs Falcons at the superbowl. And I will go for the Patriots !!! :)

[By the way does someone play at this game on playstation : NFL Street ... I love that game !!! I can't stop to play at it since I've got it for christmas ! :D ]

Falcons 10 Eagles 14. halftime.

good game so far. I still think the Falcons will pull it off.
Watch out for Michael!

we're Going To The Superbowl!!!!!!

It is the third quarter of the AFC game. Aaaaaannnnd..... the score is:

Patriots- 24
Steelers- 3

WOOT WOOT PATRIOTS! :D

Edit: As of 9:45 PM today, the Patriots advance to the Superbowl for the third time in four years.

Final score: Patriots 41 Steelers 27.

GO PATS!!!

Next: Superbowl game Feb 6th
New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles

we're Going To The Superbowl!!!!!!

Krissie, I was so happy when the Eagles won! :D

I don't even live in Philidalphia, but they are my favorite team! ;)

Props to Phillie.
They shut down Vick.

They deserve to be in the big game. Although, I dont see them beating the Pats....

Although, I dont see them beating the Pats....

As much as I love the Eagles, I don't think they will, either.

*Hides* I'm going to get killed for that! ^ ... =/

Stupid Pats won again :( I really hope the Eagles can give them a nice little beating.

I don't know...I think the Eagles can and will beat the Pats. They just have too many weapons, especially if TO comes back. He's definetely the best receiver in the game, and one of my favorite players too. And if the Eagles defense keeps up what they've been doing...no way NE can beat them. They have something to prove, NE is just trying to stay where they are. It's a lot easier to knock someone off the mountain than it is to stay on top. I hope Philly wins anyway. I like Dillon, but I don't like anyone else on NE. Brady is boring. He's the Tim Duncan of football. *yawn*

Yahoo!

An NFL thread on Evboard!

Congrats to the AFC Champion Pats, and the NFC Champion Eagles!

Patriots proved why they're the best team in the NFL while the Eagles have something to prove making their first Superbowl in 25 years.

I will say this. Do not count out the Eagles.

They will obviously be the underdog, but it's going to be a knockdown dragout fight. Neither team will win this game easily. I for one would be shocked if that did happen.

If the Pats win though, I think it's pretty safe to call it a dynasty.

I'm going for the Eagles, I guess , since my team is already out.

Stupid Pats won again :( I really hope the Eagles can give them a nice little beating.

I noticed that most people don't like the Pats for one reason... because they're good. :rolleyes:


I'm wearing my Pats shirt to school today. Woo hoo!!!!! :D

we're Going To The Superbowl!!!!!!

Hell Yeah. I'm so happy :D :D

I've been rooting for McNabb ever since I used to see him play up at the dome at Syracuse University. I still remember the day he got drafted by the Eagles and all the Philly fans booed because they wanted Ricky Williams. I think they're pretty happy with that draft pick now ;D

The Pats are an extremely good team though (obviously), so it's definitely going to be a tough game. Belichick comes up with some genius defensive schemes. Just ask Peyton Manning ;)

Andy Reid's a fantastic coach as well though and usually has some tricks up his sleeve, so it should be a good one. I can't wait =)

I don't find them that good. I watched them 3 times this year, the opening week end and the last 2 games. Those last 2 games were easily the most boring games I watched all year.

I noticed that most people don't like the Pats for one reason... because they're good. :rolleyes:


I'm wearing my Pats shirt to school today. Woo hoo!!!!! :D

hehe, I love me Pats. I would've worn my pats jersey..but there is no school...

I got a kick out of this article, especially the text I have bolded.

A son proves, and lets his mom reprove

By Stephen A. Smith

Inquirer Columnist

They say the anxiety was witnessed only in the huddle, that Donovan McNabb was otherwise a stoic, cool tactician of the highest order. Before the game, as he was warming up. During the game's early moments, as the chores of orchestrating Andy Reid's schemes conflicted with what he would later term "unparalleled adrenaline."

But as the game waned and the clock ticked, with victory and celebration as imminent as the confetti that filled the air, it appeared that tears began flowing from the eyes of a young man affectionately known as "No. 5," signifying the end of an era he had never asked to be a part of to begin with.

In the eyes of America, the marketing geniuses who manipulate them and 67,717 frenzied fanatics who bought into the hype hook, line and sinker, the names Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick would take center stage in yesterday's NFC championship game instead of a man named Doug Williams.

Who would run better, pass better, and lead his team to a Super Bowl?

Or as McNabb's mother, Wilma, eloquently put it: "No one was desirous that a black quarterback be successful."

It happened anyway, courtesy of McNabb, who picked apart the Falcons with such precision that it made you ponder how Vick was ever mentioned in the same breath.

McNabb completed 17 of 26 passes for 180 yards, throwing two touchdowns to Chad Lewis. He rushed 10 times for 32 yards, proving Vick wasn't the only one with wheels worth fearing. Time and again, McNabb approached the line of scrimmage, viewed the scenery, then tossed one clutch pass after another, nullifying any attempt that would leave this encounter in doubt.

And so it goes, McNabb is heading to the Super Bowl - the first black quarterback since Williams did so with the Washington Redskins in 1988.

"There's no relief for me," McNabb said. "I'll have relief after the Super Bowl. I set a goal to win a Super Bowl, and that's where I'm going with it. We're not done."

McNabb may not be, but the rest of us should be. Particularly with the Rush Limbaughs of the world.

Let McNabb wax politically correct all he wants. Let him talk about his offensive line, his teammates, and winning one for a city devoid of any recent championship hardware.

Yesterday was about erasing demons, even the ones that weren't put there by McNabb himself. McNabb never dreamed of a football novice like Limbaugh using him as political fodder, sullying his name in a quest to indict others. And if McNabb wasn't interested in addressing the impact of Limbaugh's silly words from October 2003, the likelihood is that McNabb wasn't because there was no need to.

He has plenty of loved ones willing to do so for him.

Especially on days like yesterday, when all the effort, pain and misery culminates with a joy that few will experience.

"Right now, this win, finally reaching the Super Bowl, brings back history," Wilma McNabb explained. "I think about my mother and father and the things they went through. Living in the South, accomplishing all the things they accomplished after enduring so much. I thought we had gotten through some things. Then the Rush Limbaughs of the world pop up with their black/white issues, and it takes me back to a place I'd thought we had left behind a long time ago.

"I'm just so proud of Donovan, because he did have something to prove. Since he's been in the NFL, he's always had to prove something. Some people don't have to prove anything. They just get out on the field. They just have to win one playoff game and then they become MVP. But we have to just keep on keeping on. We have to be perfect and still get better. Sometimes it's awful to think of. Then there's moments like this."

Super moments. Moments that took 24 years, including three excruciating NFC title games so demoralizing that some people stopped believing.

"We know a lot of people turned their backs on us," McNabb said. "They just didn't have the confidence we'd be able to do it. I think we answered a lot of questions, a lot of critics. So maybe people will be happy about the Philadelphia Eagles again, maybe not. But as you can see, we're not worried about it."

Finally, we can all see why.

A Super Bowl is scheduled in two weeks. And the Eagles are playing in it.

Wow. It wasn't more than what, five years ago that Steve McNair, a black quarterback led the Titans to the Super Bowl (http://www.superbowl.com/history/recaps/game/sbxxxiv)? You'd think a guy like Stephen A. Smith, as arrogant as he is, with his "know it all" attitude wouldn't have overlooked that little tidbit. Ooops ;)

They did the same exact thing last night on Fox before the game was over.

I think what they mean is actually lead them to victory.

But yeah, that's a HUMONGOUS mistake if leading them to the Super Bowl game is what they meant.

They actually missed it during the game yesterday. I remember them talking about McNabb being the second one. I guess the Titans aren't important!

But yeah, that's a HUMONGOUS mistake if leading them to the Super Bowl game is what they meant.

That's definitely what Stephen A. Smith meant, so yeh, big goof on his part. I didn't hear the quote last night during the game though. However even if they meant "first QB to win since Doug Williams" as you suggested, that would still be a goof, unless they were looking into the future of course :)

Edit: BTW, that 2000 Super Bowl between the Titans and Rams was awesome and will always be remembered as the game were the Titans came up just one yard short. Shame on Smith and apparently the folks from FOX for overlooking it :P

Pats all the way baby!! WOOOHOOOO!!

I noticed that most people don't like the Pats for one reason... because they're good. :rolleyes:


I'm wearing my Pats shirt to school today. Woo hoo!!!!! :D
It's cause we got MAD SKILLS! :D

In all honesty, I know what you mean. Many people don't like the Pats because they keep winning and they find that boring after a while. They all find the most thrill in seeing their team lose and then bounce back from that loss to win. But the Pats did that... I just don't know!

I wish I had thought of wearing my Pats jersey or shirt to school today. But... I didn't think about it. I just grabbed whatever was in the laundry basket and went on my way to class.

Yay for the Pats!

Well, I'm not a huge Pats fan, but I don't dislike them. I'm tired of seeing them in the Super Bowl for the same reason I'm tired of always seeing the Yankees in the playoffs, it just gets boring to me to see one team win all the time. Of course, this leads me to support some of the biggest underdogs in sports (Chicago Cubs, along with the Carolina Panthers (not so much underdogs anymore) and Cincinnati Bengals). :(

It's cause we got MAD SKILLS! :D

!

I don't hate the Pats because they keep winning, I hate them because they are boring to watch. Like I pointed out earlier, if anyone watches NBA, they are the Spurs of the NFL, with Brady/Tim Duncan aka Mr. Snore at qb. I like the Falcons because of Vick. He's exciting. I like the Eagles because of TO and Mcnabb, because they are exciting. And yet they always seem to win too. Of course, I'm also the biggest fans of the Bengals and the Lions, so....

I will watch the Pats and hate them less because of Corey Dillon though. He was a monster in Cincinnati, and no one even knew who he was. It's nice to see him finally get his due. I'll be rooting for him to run well in the game. I just want the Eagles to win it this year, because I love TO, and honestly...McNabb deserves to win. After all that shit he went through, with the whole Draft fiasco and the fans booing him, and losing 3 straight championship games in a row...it's his time. And if you think I'm just going for them because I like to see people bounce back...I was a huge 49er fan during their dynasty, and always went for Dallas in the Super Bowls in the early nineties too, so I do like my winnng teams. I just don't like New England. I didn't like them when they sucked, and I don't like them now. I'm not a bandwagon guy. I like individual players, the Lions, and the Bengals...being a Bengal and a Lion fan is definetely the OPPOSITE of being a bandwagon guy,lol. :p

Like them or not, the Pats are the best team. There a complete team.

I dont see anyway the Eagles can win. New england held the #1 scoring offense to 3 points, and they scored 41 against the #1 defense.

Sorry Phillie...

I'm so getting tired of people saying that the 'Eagles' will loose just because they haven't been in the Superbowl forever. I think that is a in correct statement. Just because a team hasn't been in the Superbowl in years, doesn't mean they aren't going to win. That's illogical to say that, really. That has no effect over the team. Well, maybe some if you want to get too technical. Techincal like saying the Teamates would be realizing that this is their first Superbowl in a long time, and they want to finally prove themselves.

However, I think if the Eagles don't win, they have already proven themselves. Just for the fact of reaching so far, is proof enough for me. The Die hard fans don't need them to win the Super Bowl. Would we like them to? Yes, of course, who wouldn't? But, we love them no matter what. Not because they are winning, but because that's OUR team.

Some people have also been saying that the Eagles are going to loose because they didn't win the other, previous Super Bowl they were in. Well, did they ever stop to think that maybe the Eagles weren't ready? I mean, I'm not trying to offend anyone, but they weren't ready. If they were ready, they would have won.

People have also been saying that the Pats are BETTER then the Eagles. Well, if they were better, they wouldn't need to compete against another team would they? The would have already won, and wouldn't have to compete against another team to prove they are the best. I hope the makes sense..

I'm so getting tired of people saying that the 'Eagles' will loose just because they haven't been in the Superbowl forever.I never said that. read my previous post.

I wasn't reffering specifically to you. Sorry if you thought I was. I was reffering to people at my School, and to people I have talked to. Sorry, for not specifying.


That does not make sense.

Let me try to word this, differnet. People that I have overheard keep saying that the Patriots are better then the Eagles. Neither team is better, and I don't think that can be proven. Yes, if you win the Superbowl, you are CONSIDERED the 'best team', for that time. However, some people are just so cocky and think that the Patriots are the best team, no matter what you say. So, I think if they are the 'best' team ever, then they should be in the Superbowl every year. They should be winning it, too.

That might have not made sense, either. If it didn't this time, I'll drop it, because I'm obviously not getting my point across or not wording it right. Again, I wasn't reffering to you, either. I was talking about people in general.

Thats there oponion if they think there better. just like you think the eagles are better. And it WILL be proven on Super bowl Sunday who is the best team.

No. you ARE the best team for that time.

First of all, I never said they were the best team "ever." And anyone who says that are morons.
But they have obviously been the best team in the last couple years. you
CANNOT argue with 2 Super bowl wins in the last 3years. And if they win on Sunday that will be 3 rings in 4 years. Can you say modern day dynasty?

And I will say this again: They only gave up 3 POINTS to the LEADING scoring team in the league against Indy.
Then they scored 41 POINTS against the #1 DEFENSE.

Philly has there work cut out for them.
