The Eagles suck, and yet they somehow beat the Giants, the best team in the NFC East. Insane.

    I’m just happy the Detroit Lions are still on track for the record books. They tried again to pull victory from the gluttonous maw of defeat, but again came up with their well-deserved unblemished perfection.

    Detroit accomplished something when it didn’t even let the Vikings be like the Vikings, though I’m sure those Vikes are waiting for the first round of the playoffs to let their true selves out.

    Gotta give you hope come playoff time, eh? If Jason/Clinton get hot, who knows?

    The Eagles dominated the Giants on both sides of the ball.

    As a Giants fan, I am disappointed. But, it’s hard to bring your A game every week. The Giants had won six straight games against teams with winning records.

    The Eagles do not suck. They had some close losses this year. McNabb has, at times, played like he had too much Robitussin.

    If you look up suck in the football dictionary, it says “see Bengals.”

    Uh, you’re an Washington Redskins fan and you’re saying the Eagles suck, Ollie?

    Whenever Joe Gibbs has a passing thought about getting back in the NFL, he glances at the ‘Skins ghastly football games and lies down and waits for the madness to go away. “Holy Jesus in a Prius,” Joe softly mutters to himself, “Why did I ever go back?”

    The Redskins are the lucky winners of the late Pete Rozelle’s rigged lottery called “parity”. They’re good enough to beat teams worse than they are, but lose to the good ones. However, because the sport is fixed, they get to hang around longer than they should and stumble into the playoffs before they’re promptly destroyed.

    All the Washington redskins need is a laugh track.

    Joe Gibbs had more playoff appearances in his second round in the NFL than the Eagles did.

    I’m not gonna pretend that this year’s Redskins are the 1980s Redskins, but they’ve been better than the Eagles the last few years.

    Joe Gibbs had more playoff appearances in his second round in the NFL than the Eagles did.

    In his second stint as head coach of the Redskins, 2004 through 2007, Gibbs was 30-34. They made the playoffs twice, played a total of three playoff games and went 1-2.

    In the same four seasons, the Eagles were 37-27. They made the playoffs twice, played a total of five games and went 3-2.

    You only get to say that because you don’t live near Oakland. When it domes to absolute suck, it’s hard to match the Jaguars and the Raiders for mailing it in.

    The ‘Niners, my team, suck , but at least they’re men about it and try pretty hard. And Singletary just got another win out of these guys.

    I stand corrected. Eagles still suck. Where are their Superbowl rings, YEAH! :)

    Gee, Ollie, why don’t you stick your tongue out and sputter, “Nyaah, nyaah, nyaah, you stink!” while you’re at it?

    Still, you’re correct about the Redskins winning The Big Game and the Eagles remaining ringless. Still, I hope you bask in the warm glow of those fond memories because it’s not happening again for a l-o-o-o-n-g time.

    At least, not until Joe Gibbs’ head is in a glass jar on Futurama.

    Shouldn’t that be in the entire NFC, not just the east?

    Oliver this is WAR!

    The Eagles do NOT suck. They are my favorite all time group and Hotel California is MY ALL TIME FAVORITE hit!

    The Eagles don’t suck as much as Dallas. Keep it in perspective, OW.
