Football: It can't come soon enough

[pattentank24]

The word is BITTERSWEET Guys
I got the first part of my wish
but both teams were outplayed

Falcons-
The best thing I can say is this is not a typical 1 Hit wonder team as it's been in the past
We have a foundation to build on
Blank-will get whatever it takes to win
Mckay-Can Draft any player any Round and still find a few Gems who will turn into Pro Bowl Players
Mora-I've never seen a coach more passionate about not reaching the Super Bowl and who's willing to alienate the media just to please the hardcore fans in Atlanta who hate the National Media's perception of a 1-MAN TEAM.
I 'm gonna miss him not Pissing off the Comedy Central,Entertainment Tonight joke reporters at Super Bowl Media Day with his "Bunker Mentality"
The Expectations for this franchise have never been higher!

-Vick must solve the "Mush Rush" Phil,TB,Ari, all employed to slow down the Falcon rushing attack
By learning to make quick decesions and having WR'S who find a way to get open
-Signing a big free agent WR,will do no Good if Vick doesn't become more accurate
-Resign Rod Coleman without Rod, Patrick KERNEY does not go to the Pro Bowl
-Make an effort to sign OL Walter Jones to solidify the improving young Atl O-line

Steelers-
AAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHH
15-1 AND WE LAID A Egg 2 weeks in a row
What happened to the Steelers D 41 pts all on play fakes
and yet I have so much for respect NE I realize I'm watching possably the greatest run In NFL history
and they kept playing with my emotions 24-3 24-10,Cowler pusses out and kicks a meanigless field goal on 4TH/G from the 4 and what does NE do drives 55 yrds Vinnitari FG
YOU STILL NEED 2 SCORES EITHER WAY
Ben(wearing my Ben Jersey today) makes 3 terriable throws with NO Pressure on him
He's a Rookie,I know but it still Hurt
Plax dissapoints me,by complaing about not getting the ball enough after he drops 2 Key throws and gets beat by Cb he's 6 inches TALLER THAN

-Bettis does he Retire?
-Plax has he talked his way out of Pitt
-The Pressure to finish in AFC Championship games Cower 1-4 IN THEM
-Ben how does he respond in the off season did he just hit a wall or is mental toughness a question now?

After all this I still live and die for these teams and see more + than - ahead for both
Just no need to drive to Jacksonville Now
and no T-shirts or hats to add to the collection
at least this year.....

Proud the 2 best teams are on their way there's no question in my mind
and I salute all the well-behaved die-hard eagles fans wh suffered,and believe you will give the Cyborg(NE,they don't make mistakes) a great game,but I still hate the stupid
WILL T.O. PLAY Questions
Chris Mortenson said on the show today "
Much like Steve Smith's inj. in CAR. it took 5 mths for him to get healthy,TO won't be ready in 7 weeks with the same type injury but everyone will cover it anyway

I didn't expect either team to be here the begining of the season and the Steelers hurts more just because the chance was much stronger and you have to finish the job when your 15-1 and they would have Crushed either Phi/ATL later but it gives me a new goal
ATL AND PITT IN THE SUPER BOWL NOT JUST CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY



AGHHHHHHHHHH
NO ESPN
NO NFL NETWORK
NO SPORTSTALK RADIO (except my show of course)
for the next 2 weeks

Good Luck anyway Proud,you'll need it

[Proud]

thanks. i don't expect a win by any means, but it's nice to finally get over the hump after walking away from the tv in misery three years in a row (if the eagles lose the super bowl, it'll hurt, but i got what i wanted for now). all four teams in the championship games had great coaches all around, no questions asked... i think the problem for pittsburgh was ben's thumb (no matter what anybody says), and the problem for atlanta was just not being able to get points on the board and make the big play.

if randy moss can actually play without being a jerk, he'd be a good acquisition for the falcons. the falcs have a very bright future ahead... but some of the pressure's gotta be taken off vick. a team can't ask for the qb to consider running every play.

[Proud]

Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory...
Fight, Eagles Fight...
Score a touchdown 1,2,3...
Hit em' low, hit em' high, and watch our Eagles Fly...
Fly, Eagles fly, on the road to victory!
E A G L E S - Eagles!

[Proud]

well, i knew there was a decent chance we'd lose... about the same as we'd win... and we lost. a lot of crappy two minute drill handling there. i don't really know what to say, other than that i don't feel too bad because, seeing how i never saw my team win a championship growing up, i don't know what i've lost for sure. i feel bad for all the fans out there who were let down. it's tough. the eagles are just as good of a team as the patriots are. that's just how the ball bounces...

so congrats to the pats, and back to life as usual.

do i feel bad? yeah. i'll probably feel worse tomorrow. but life will go on. i guess i've got things in life to look forward to soon, though i can't think of them right now.

[stratman19]

YES! PATS WIN!!!

Sorry Proud, I know you wanted a different result...there's more to life than football anyway.

[Proud]

i'm well aware. football's more of a distraction... except for the fact that, you know, it's millions of people rooting for one team, and it's one of the few things that bring people together. so for the sake of the best fans in the nation, yeah, i wanted the eagles to win.

i'll get a handle on this life thing eventually, but it's just that i tend to lose a lot of these things. i'll win something someday! i promise!

[maarts]

Well done Pats...I did pick them to win but I held my fingers crossed for an Eagles victory. Just too many mistakes...

[rockkid]

Yeah Patriots!!!!

Here’s a link for the “pulled” Budweiser ad.

Funny stuff.

[tuneschick]

Boo New England!

I was really pulling for a Philly win. I can't stand the Pats (esp. Brady and Bruschi, cocky bastards), and always have a soft spot for the underdog anyway. Too many mistakes made though, and McNabb just seemed to get too flustered near the end. Every time they got a break, they screwed it up.

Good game, right down to the wire though - which is better than anything.

[Proud]

i hate to say it, but the eagles might have... quit near the end. owens played SO hard... he busted his butt off, and you can tell that if this wasn't the super bowl, he probably wouldn't be playing. he risked destroying himself for the rest of his life just to attempt to lift the lombardi trophy. but where was everyone else?

i like mcnabb and i like reid, but they HAVE to become better leaders and better in tight situations like these, or they'll never win the super bowl. they've now rightfully 'earned' the stigma of being chokers in big games. i'm not going to say "wait 'til next year" (we've been saying that for, what? 24 years? please. that term's for losers who can't live with the fact that they... well... lose), but opportunities might come by in the future and they have to play and coach like everything's on the line, because... guess what... it IS! SO many fans put themselves into debt to go down to jacksonville, many of 'em not even being able to afford tickets... and this is what we get in return? quitting in the last five minutes (yes, i know about the td)? reid said some neat statement about wishing he could bring all the fans to the stadium, and i think he has a lot of love for us, but... c'mon man, it's a 60 minute game, let's call some plays and get in the two minute offense. no huddle!

i'm not upset with them over the loss. it's been a great year and all. but i think they may have quit, and that's worse than any loss when you give it your all.

[Philemon]

WOAH ! A Tunes' sighting ... !!

Where have you been ... ??

[Philemon]

The Bud's *pulled* commercial
will make its way in the public eye
one way or the other ...

I smell a rat !!

[luke]

Stupid fucking Patriots. I didn't think that there was any way that the Eagles were gonna win, so in a way it's almost bittersweet that they put up such a fight. I had no hope for them, but then they built me up and shot me down...

[pattentank24]

Sorry Proud(but they were happy-to- be- there- and played like it)

I swear New England is not Human they're a Cyborg they don't make mistakes(even Brady's fumble the Refs messed up the call),the game played out about what I expected

I think the dismantling of the Steelers was much more impressive and was their most defining win of this past season.

They tease every single opponent into believing their 1 play away from competing at the Pat's Level

Philly was just another victim of the greatest dynasty in the sense of the word-TEAM (not Talent) in my entire lifetime of watching football

Charlie Weis adjustments with the screen pass were the difference in the game x/o's wise

and Philly couldn't play a perfect game so they lost

and as a Steeler fan I hate to say it but NE isn't done yet
2005
-Bad Boy Bill has to prove he can win without his cordinators
-GOING FOR THE ALL TIME RECORD of 4 in 5 yrs
-Brady will take less money to remain a PAT
-and HERE'S just a thought

Randy Moss to NE?
lots of draft picks to trade a veteran WINNNING atmospehere
The ablity to demand his respect if he gets out of line
Remember Corey Dillon was a Cancer,look what happened when Players control the clubhouse,not Indviduals

[rockysigman]

The Patriots neither want nor need Randy Moss. They already have one of the best recieving cores in the league. I don't see why they'd give up their future in draft picks in order to work on something that doesn't need improving.
