NFL season 2004 - Page 8 - EvBoard

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).

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 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.

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..

That does not make sense.

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.

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.

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.
