That is kind of cheezy, dont you think? I will have to get a few pictures of signs around here to show you how TRUE fans of the EAGLES do it. Grant or Cal.....I was in Philly Sat. night and Sun. night and didnt see the psfs building showing their support.....do you know what I am talking about? There are quite a few cool shows being put on around our way.......did either of you see the new exit on rt. 42 in Deptford? The fresh embankment for the new exit was a huge (100 feet or so long) "GO EAGLES" banner......(now snow covered).

Officially, The countdown is on.....6 1/2 days till the sweet smell of FROZEN TEARS overpowers the smell of pine trees and woodburning stoves, all over New England........GO EAGLES!!!!!!

Call me the cheesesteak bookie, still waiting on a bet.......Glenn

Grant · 01-31-2005, 09:04 AM

Can't make up my mind on this game.

Sure, the heart says the Birds. The brain, however...

Anyway...things to contemplate: Eagles vs. 3-4 defense = scary. But if they don't cough up the ball, they can certainly win it. Lots of stupid drive-killing penalties this season. Can't have any of that in the big game. Not worried about the Eagles' D vs. Pats O...But the 3-4 has me concerned. Eagles are 9-0 after two weeks' rest. Pats are in their third bowl in four years. Too many intangibles.

How's the ice?

Nero Gatto · 01-31-2005, 10:34 AM

I checked out TVGuide.com last week and saw that FOX had the game offered in HD on channel 725 on Adelphia in the Moultonboro area. I just went out and splurged on a new LCD TV for a party I'm having. Called up and got HD installed from Adelphia. I guess I should have checked the channel lineup on Adelphia's web site first because it appears now that they don't offer FOXHD up here after all. They carry ABCHD, NBCHD, and CBSHD, but no FOXHD.

NonVoting Taxpayer · 01-31-2005, 08:41 PM

For all you Eagles fans, look at their schedule. Who have they beat this year? They played in the weekest division in years. So they beat the Giants (twice), Vikings (twice), Ravens, Lions, Bears, Panthers, Browns, Dallas, and the Redskins (also twice). Most of those teams didn't even finish the year at 500, in fact, most won 6 or less games this year. They lost to St Louis, Cincinnatti and Pittsburg, all teams at 500 or above. Nothing aginst the Eagles but if they were in the AFC, they also might be 500. Not as if they played Indy, Buffalo, NY Jets, Broncos, Jaguars or the Chargers. Hope it's at least a close game.

glennsteely · 02-01-2005, 07:09 AM

HEY, NON VOTING TAXPAYER......FOUL!!!! The losses to the Rams and Bengals were in "who cares" games. Pittsburg just whooped us, good day for them, bad one for us......If you want to comment on football, just make sure you get it right.......In the game with the Rams, they score first and we march right back and score on a 89 yard, 3 play drive.....with the starters in. That is the last time you see them until the divisional play-off game vs. the Vikings. The whole time, I am calling the fat man (Andy "cheesesteak" Reid) every name in the book for starting them. Why take a chance with the starters, when the game means nothing and we have a serious chance for a superbowl at stake......I was very happy with his decision to take everyone out and give up those 2 games. Yes, I will admit the NFC was weak this year, but the EAGLES stood out by so much in the league.......they werent just the #1 seed, they were absolutely dominating, in all aspects of the word......the offense was strong and pretty consistant all year and the defense improved in all of the last 10 games (stats) Last year, we had what the experts called the 2nd hardest schedule in football....they wound up 12 and 4 in the regular season.....what could get worse in this football team? We stood only to get better this year, with the long term contracts, draft picks and, of course the addition of T.O. who without a doubt, is one of the best recievers to ever play the game......how is it that this year we are so under rated? It is time for everyone to respect Philly as a team that has come so far as to be the team that has the best chance of beating your beloved Pats.....And beat them, they will.......T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O.!!!!!!!

NonVoting Taxpayer · 02-01-2005, 08:42 AM

You may be right. That's why they play the game. We from New England know how the lack of respect feels. Even after two super bowl wins, people are finally starting to think they are for real.

SIKSUKR · 02-01-2005, 09:20 AM

How in the world is Glenstelly ever going to eat all the crow he is dishing out.I'll bet even his mouth isn't big enough to swallow the amount of trash talking he has done.He represents everything the Patriots don't have on their team and never will.That's why they are winners.Unfortuanatly for the Eagles they have boneheads on their team that run their mouths and hurt themselves by adding more fuel to an already potent bonfire called the New England Patriots.Glenstelly's supposed "Best receiver of all time" T.O.,Is very good but would NEVER EVER be on the SUPERBOWL CHAMPION Patriots.Don't you people get it yet?This is a TEAM game.It's not all about "ME" as certain athletes would have you think.I can't wait till todays media day to see what else guys like Freddie Mitchel spew out of their mouths.Please dump more fuel on the fire all you people who have not gotten it yet.It will make a victory all the sweeter.

Freddie is Freddie, take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Like Donovan McNabb said, if someone needs the other team to make stupid comments to get more motivation for the game, then they shouldn't be playing in the game. The game is motivation enough.

Tired of Waiting · 02-01-2005, 01:45 PM

I'm a Pats fan and think they will win this thing. However:

All the talk about them beating the Stealers, Colts etc etc..... Does the team with the name Dolphins mean anything? I am a believer that "any" professional team can beat any other Professional team at any given time. I hope that's not what happenes here that the lesser Eagles beat the better Pats. But it could happen!!

With that said:

GO PATS, Pats 34 Eagles 16 That way I'll win the pool as well.

I'm afraid you don't get away that easy. Your curse has only lasted for three years. We put up with 86. The Eagles are just now entering the second phase of "The Curse" where they follow the Bills to three more losing efforts at the big game if that are that lucky.

glennsteely · 02-02-2005, 07:18 AM

A true fan that defends his team to the very end.......and loves to talk trash, you are alright in my book Nero.

On another note, Welcome to the forum.

And on another note still, come sunday it will be welcome to the terror dome. The mad scientist (Jim Johnson) is looking at Brady, the heart and soul of the Pats, as the threat to stop. As you know, we have a very capable pass rush, and I believe during the regular season we were tied for the most sacks in the NFL ( I am not certain though) but we have to be leading that stat. in the post season. This, compounded by the fact that the Pats are playing a hungry, talented, young and strong team will be the demise of the so called "die - nasty" you are looking for. You guys seem to think that you dont have to recoginze the EAGLES as a threat, and that is step two in the Pats downfall. Underestimation. The EAGLES did not come this far, this year, to flop. They are a more mature team, with big post season experience, and a ton of underestimated talent. Put it all together and what does it spell?

E.A.G.L.E.S. EAGLES!!!!! Come on, you know you want to say it!! Say it. It is that simple, put your mind at ease, and root for the team, that deep down inside you know will win. Say it, say, "GO EAGLES!!" Now doesnt that feel better? Scream it at the top of your lungs!!!! Put on your green, silver and white #5 jersey and loose your voice during the game.....it will be well worth it.

Nero Gatto · 02-02-2005, 09:16 AM

Thanks for the welcome, it's good to be here. I've been sitting on the sidelines watching for years. Just decided it was time to get off the bench and onto the field.

As for the Pats, you are correct that I would defend them to the end. I had faith that didn't quite pay off in 85, although I had to admit it was a long shot even then. I knew we could win in 96 and I'm still convinced we could have had it not been for the distractions that The Tuna introduced before the game. I screamed at the TV all day long before XXXIV because I knew we would beat the Rams and nobody on the tube could see the light. This year I stood beside them, admittedly with some trepidation, as they overcame the "best offense" then the "best defense" in the league, in consecutive weeks. Now, however, it not so much at matter of standing by my team as it is common sense. I think that this will be a boring game. I have no doubt that the Pats will, uncharacteristically, be in complete control for the entire game. It won't even be close. You could double the spread and the Pats would still cover. Considering the vast difference in the level of competition between the NFC and AFC this year, this game will be like watching the varsity squad take on the freshman. I will think of you the rest of your fans as I watch the Pats dismantle your boys. I will feel your pain. I felt it for years, so I know it well. Now is our time, but maybe, if you keep the faith, you'll see a champion in your lifetime. Unfortunately for you it won't be this year, or even next. We have a ways to go first. Brady will own 5 rings before he's done. One more this Sunday and at least two more over the next four years to five years.

Good luck. Your gonna need it.

PROPELLER · 02-02-2005, 12:30 PM

I have been standing by watching but had to jump in. Glenn, you think the Pats underestimate the Eagles? If thats what you think you are sorely mistaken. The Pats never underestimate any opponent. You do not seem to understand that that is the key to Belichicks & the Pats success. It is also the down fall of all their opponents including the Raiders, the Rams, the Colts, the Steelers, the Panthers etc. The Pats have been underestimated at every turn & now the Eagles (T.O., Mitchell & company) are doing the same. Thats ok & its ok with the Pats, thats the way they like it & thats when they are most dangerous.

Have you noticed that there has never been any trash talking from the Pats since Belichick took the helm & there still isn't even with all their success. Last night on the Best Dam Sports Show, Givens & Branch (who are they?) were interviewed & they named the entire Eagles secondary because they KNOW their opponent & are prepared for them & respect them. The Pats are the most prepared team in the NFL.

Nobody can guarantee a win in the NFL these days. Any team can beat any other team on any given Sunday. I will guarantee one thing though. THE EAGLES WILL KNOW ALL THE PATS NAMES ON SUNDAY.

From Dawkins to Owens, Simon & McNabb....
Westbrook and Hugh Douglas, will make the Pats sad.....
Levins and G. Lewis and "Toe Biz" that's Akers....
Even Stinkson, (I mean Pinkston) is one of our shakers....
We Have JR Reed, he can make people miss....
but miss he will not, if his name is Mike Lewis....
And dont forget Adams, he's been playing real good.....
and look out for Trotter, when he starts chopping wood.....
Sheppard and Brown are getting their kicks.....
just thinking about Mitchell, on 4th and 26.....

From the Link, to Center City, the Liberty Bell to Penns Landing....
right here, right now, our team is outstanding......
From Fishtown to Kensington, Northeast to Northwest.....
we root for the team that we think is the best......

Since I was a boy, I loved this team......
along with many others, that have shared this dream....
We have watched and we've waited as years have gone by.....
only to sing the song again......

It is countdown time now.....2 and 1/2 days untill our two teams meet on the gridiron to determine who will be crowned Superbowl Champions......I can hardly wait......GO EAGLES!!!

A special thanks to the WEBMASTER for allowing this fun.

Good luck to all, and a prayer for the players, that they may all get home safe to their families, after the game, with no injuries. Signing off until game time, (and I know alot of you are thankful for this) Glenn Steely

Skipper of the Sea Que · 02-05-2005, 12:18 PM

I've gotta go with the PATS. They are our New England team. I'm not a football addict but do enjoy the bowl games and some of the show surrounding the game. It's the game that introduced us to the concept of Costume and Wardrobe Malfunction.

When I was Senior Broadcast Engineer for WHDH radio 850 we became the flagship station for the Patriots (early '80s). After network difficulties with the 1st game they asked me to be the Technical Director for the Patriots Radio Network (note the old logo from my Pats jacket). That was fun. And then there are other pleasant distractions

involved with the game (note the more recent autographed picture).

Any Forum users plan to be on the little known and used Lake Winnipesaukee Chat room during the game? Winnie CHAT room (you may want to activate a pop-up blocker)

Good luck to the PATS and safe celebration to all.

SS,

Sorry for the late answer but I had putter problems.

All fixed now.

As for the "meaningless game". I'm not sure about that. When they lost they were in the run for home field advantage in the playoffs. To loose a game at that time of the year could be meaningless if it doesn't cost you anything. But at the time home field advantage was still in question. But it's all behind us now and the next year is in the dreaming stage.

SIKSUKR · 02-08-2005, 10:00 AM

Actually TOW,I thought Pittsburg had already clinched the home field advantage by the Miami game,but I just checked and I was wrong.If NE beat Miami that Monday,Pittsburg would have clinched the following week.But I do think it was a wake-up call nonetheless.Doesn't matter now but Can you say Threepeat?? WHERE'S GLENNSTEELY? SS

Thanks for going back and checking. Takes a big person to do that and then post they may have been in error. As you said it doesn't matter now, and yes I can say, or at least dream THREEPEAT.

YA, where is GLENNSTEELY???

It does take awhile to prepare one's self to eat CROW though.

glennsteely · 02-08-2005, 06:59 PM

I was out of town for my sisters wedding for bowl weekend, I am a man and I give respect where respect is due.....Congratulations to the Patriots and their fan basis....The Patriots were the better team on Sunday. It was a close one and I know you guys were sweating (just a little maybe?) But the real saying in Pro Football is "good teams find ways to win" and a very good team did just that. You guys are a classy bunch, first, I had to watch the game with a bunch of giants and jets fans, since my sister lives in North Jersey, and 2nd, today, my first day back at work since the game I had to deal with a whole bunch of Eagles Haters......but the place where I talked the most smack......you all respond with class......just a reminder to self of why I love New Hampshire so much.

So, I am here to claim what is mine....an extra large slice of humble pie with a side order of crow, rare, au jus, if you would not mind.......

I guess I will go choke on my cheesesteak and long for a lobster roll, and like Chris said........WE WILL SEE YOU IN DETROIT.

We should save that for next year.

Now, back to posting on the lake, and everything that will keep me from being dehydrated from tear loss........see you all in other threads.

Tired of Waiting · 02-09-2005, 01:53 PM

Glenn,

Class, pure class.

Now as for the humbel pie, it goes well with icecream. The crow however can be tough so stew it for a while and it'll go down easier. Will you be dinning at a Lakes region area where we can join you?

to watch that is.

As for next year, you really want the pats again

It would be a great rematch I'm thinking.

Thanks for your posts in this thread. Like you said this forum was a place where the fans spoke of the teams. games, players, each other without all the true trash talk. It was fun posting with you and all the others. I only hope we can do it again.

Who have they beat this year? They played in the weekest division in years. So they beat the Giants (twice), Vikings (twice), Ravens, Lions, Bears, Panthers, Browns, Dallas, and the Redskins (also twice). Most of those teams didn't even finish the year at 500, in fact, most won 6 or less games this year. They lost to St Louis, Cincinnatti and Pittsburg, all teams at 500 or above. Nothing aginst the Eagles but if they were in the AFC, they also might be 500. Not as if they played Indy, Buffalo, NY Jets, Broncos, Jaguars or the Chargers. Hope it's at least a close game.

HEY, NON VOTING TAXPAYER......FOUL!!!! The losses to the Rams and Bengals were in "who cares" games. Pittsburg just whooped us, good day for them, bad one for us......If you want to comment on football, just make sure you get it right.......In the game with the Rams, they score first and we march right back and score on a 89 yard, 3 play drive.....with the starters in. That is the last time you see them until the divisional play-off game vs. the Vikings. The whole time, I am calling the fat man (Andy "cheesesteak" Reid) every name in the book for starting them. Why take a chance with the starters, when the game means nothing and we have a serious chance for a superbowl at stake......I was very happy with his decision to take everyone out and give up those 2 games. Yes, I will admit the NFC was weak this year, but the EAGLES stood out by so much in the league.......they werent just the #1 seed, they were absolutely dominating, in all aspects of the word......the offense was strong and pretty consistant all year and the defense improved in all of the last 10 games (stats) Last year, we had what the experts called the 2nd hardest schedule in football....they wound up 12 and 4 in the regular season.....what could get worse in this football team? We stood only to get better this year, with the long term contracts, draft picks and, of course the addition of T.O. who without a doubt, is one of the best recievers to ever play the game......how is it that this year we are so under rated? It is time for everyone to respect Philly as a team that has come so far as to be the team that has the best chance of beating your beloved Pats.....And beat them, they will.......T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O. T.O.!!!!!!! Attached Images __________________ You have to go out on a limb sometimes, cause that is where the fruit is.

We from New England know how the lack of respect feels. Even after two super bowl wins, people are finally starting to think they are for real.

However: All the talk about them beating the Stealers, Colts etc etc..... Does the team with the name Dolphins mean anything? I am a believer that "any" professional team can beat any other Professional team at any given time. I hope that's not what happenes here that the lesser Eagles beat the better Pats. But it could happen!! With that said: GO PATS, Pats 34 Eagles 16 That way I'll win the pool as well. ToW

A true fan that defends his team to the very end.......and loves to talk trash, you are alright in my book Nero. On another note, Welcome to the forum. And on another note still, come sunday it will be welcome to the terror dome. The mad scientist (Jim Johnson) is looking at Brady, the heart and soul of the Pats, as the threat to stop. As you know, we have a very capable pass rush, and I believe during the regular season we were tied for the most sacks in the NFL ( I am not certain though) but we have to be leading that stat. in the post season. This, compounded by the fact that the Pats are playing a hungry, talented, young and strong team will be the demise of the so called "die - nasty" you are looking for. You guys seem to think that you dont have to recoginze the EAGLES as a threat, and that is step two in the Pats downfall. Underestimation. The EAGLES did not come this far, this year, to flop. They are a more mature team, with big post season experience, and a ton of underestimated talent. Put it all together and what does it spell? E.A.G.L.E.S. EAGLES!!!!! Come on, you know you want to say it!! Say it. It is that simple, put your mind at ease, and root for the team, that deep down inside you know will win. Say it, say, "GO EAGLES!!" Now doesnt that feel better? Scream it at the top of your lungs!!!! Put on your green, silver and white #5 jersey and loose your voice during the game.....it will be well worth it. __________________ You have to go out on a limb sometimes, cause that is where the fruit is.

I've been sitting on the sidelines watching for years. Just decided it was time to get off the bench and onto the field. As for the Pats, you are correct that I would defend them to the end. I had faith that didn't quite pay off in 85, although I had to admit it was a long shot even then. I knew we could win in 96 and I'm still convinced we could have had it not been for the distractions that The Tuna introduced before the game. I screamed at the TV all day long before XXXIV because I knew we would beat the Rams and nobody on the tube could see the light. This year I stood beside them, admittedly with some trepidation, as they overcame the "best offense" then the "best defense" in the league, in consecutive weeks. Now, however, it not so much at matter of standing by my team as it is common sense. I think that this will be a boring game. I have no doubt that the Pats will, uncharacteristically, be in complete control for the entire game. It won't even be close. You could double the spread and the Pats would still cover. Considering the vast difference in the level of competition between the NFC and AFC this year, this game will be like watching the varsity squad take on the freshman. I will think of you the rest of your fans as I watch the Pats dismantle your boys. I will feel your pain. I felt it for years, so I know it well. Now is our time, but maybe, if you keep the faith, you'll see a champion in your lifetime. Unfortunately for you it won't be this year, or even next. We have a ways to go first. Brady will own 5 rings before he's done. One more this Sunday and at least two more over the next four years to five years. Good luck. Your gonna need it. __________________ Nero Gatto

Glenn, you think the Pats underestimate the Eagles? If thats what you think you are sorely mistaken. The Pats never underestimate any opponent. You do not seem to understand that that is the key to Belichicks & the Pats success. It is also the down fall of all their opponents including the Raiders, the Rams, the Colts, the Steelers, the Panthers etc. The Pats have been underestimated at every turn & now the Eagles (T.O., Mitchell & company) are doing the same. Thats ok & its ok with the Pats, thats the way they like it & thats when they are most dangerous. Have you noticed that there has never been any trash talking from the Pats since Belichick took the helm & there still isn't even with all their success. Last night on the Best Dam Sports Show, Givens & Branch (who are they?) were interviewed & they named the entire Eagles secondary because they KNOW their opponent & are prepared for them & respect them. The Pats are the most prepared team in the NFL. Nobody can guarantee a win in the NFL these days. Any team can beat any other team on any given Sunday. I will guarantee one thing though. THE EAGLES WILL KNOW ALL THE PATS NAMES ON SUNDAY.

We Have JR Reed, he can make people miss.... but miss he will not, if his name is Mike Lewis.... And dont forget Adams, he's been playing real good..... and look out for Trotter, when he starts chopping wood..... Sheppard and Brown are getting their kicks..... just thinking about Mitchell, on 4th and 26..... From the Link, to Center City, the Liberty Bell to Penns Landing.... right here, right now, our team is outstanding...... From Fishtown to Kensington, Northeast to Northwest..... we root for the team that we think is the best...... Since I was a boy, I loved this team...... along with many others, that have shared this dream.... We have watched and we've waited as years have gone by..... only to sing the song again......

There will be thousands of fans heading over to Philly to get their spots laid out for the Victory Parade!! How observant of you..... "I will purchase the Red Sox World Series last out ball from Mienkewicz on ebay, and promptly throw it into the Delaware River during the EAGLES Victory Parade" (EAGLES fan e-mail forwarded to me.) It is countdown time now.....2 and 1/2 days untill our two teams meet on the gridiron to determine who will be crowned Superbowl Champions......I can hardly wait......GO EAGLES!!! A special thanks to the WEBMASTER for allowing this fun. Good luck to all, and a prayer for the players, that they may all get home safe to their families, after the game, with no injuries.

They are our New England team. I'm not a football addict but do enjoy the bowl games and some of the show surrounding the game. It's the game that introduced us to the concept of Costume and Wardrobe Malfunction. When I was Senior Broadcast Engineer for WHDH radio 850 we became the flagship station for the Patriots (early '80s). After network difficulties with the 1st game they asked me to be the Technical Director for the Patriots Radio Network (note the old logo from my Pats jacket). That was fun. And then there are other pleasant distractions involved with the game (note the more recent autographed picture). Any Forum users plan to be on the little known and used Lake Winnipesaukee Chat room during the game? Winnie CHAT room (you may want to activate a pop-up blocker) Good luck to the PATS and safe celebration to all. Attached Images __________________ Amateur HAM Radio What is it? You'll be surprised.

I was out of town for my sisters wedding for bowl weekend, I am a man and I give respect where respect is due.....Congratulations to the Patriots and their fan basis....The Patriots were the better team on Sunday. It was a close one and I know you guys were sweating (just a little maybe?) But the real saying in Pro Football is "good teams find ways to win" and a very good team did just that. You guys are a classy bunch, first, I had to watch the game with a bunch of giants and jets fans, since my sister lives in North Jersey, and 2nd, today, my first day back at work since the game I had to deal with a whole bunch of Eagles Haters......but the place where I talked the most smack......you all respond with class......just a reminder to self of why I love New Hampshire so much. So, I am here to claim what is mine....an extra large slice of humble pie with a side order of crow, rare, au jus, if you would not mind....... I guess I will go choke on my cheesesteak and long for a lobster roll, and like Chris said........WE WILL SEE YOU IN DETROIT. We should save that for next year. Now, back to posting on the lake, and everything that will keep me from being dehydrated from tear loss........see you all in other threads.

The crow however can be tough so stew it for a while and it'll go down easier. Will you be dinning at a Lakes region area where we can join you? to watch that is. As for next year, you really want the pats again It would be a great rematch I'm thinking. Thanks for your posts in this thread.
