You get to erase one of the four teams left in the NFL playoffs --

[TopesJunkie]

Which one is it?

It can't be the Eagles. They're the team of DESTINY!

Therefore, I'll eliminate the Panthers.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Eagles...there's no destiny there. Just a stupid coaching mistake

Sorry.

[GregorStocks]

2. Eagles.

They beat the packers. Thus, DIE!!!!
Also, Pats. They are my home team, therefore DIE!!!!

[TopesJunkie]

4. Hey, now. You only get to eliminate one team --

Why would you eliminate your home team?

[GregorStocks]

6. I hate all my home teams.

I also love the Yankees and hate the Red Sox.
And don't care about anything else.

[TopesJunkie]

7. Are you a transplant?

[GregorStocks]

11. Nope, just a weirdo.

[beawr]

3. The Colts

I hate Irsay, I hate the Colts, I'm from Maryland although I was born in Indiana (if Gary counts as Indiana)

[TopesJunkie]

5. An understandable choice, then --

Of course, I hope you don't root for the Ravens. If that's the case, it's far less understandable.

[beawr]

10. No, I am a Redskins Fan

I was a Colts Fan that was happy to see the 'Skins do well when Balt. didn't. Never got very excited about the Ravens, even when they won the Super Bowl. I was pretty pissed off about Cleveland losing the Browns, I was afraid that the Packers were next. Although, aren't the Packers actually owned by the town of Green Bay?

[TopesJunkie]

14. Something like that --

It's a nonprofit org, I believe. And the papers forming it state that it can't leave Green Bay.

[LynneSin]

8. Eagles are not the "team of destiny"

The "Team of Destiny" is heading back to Wisconsin to catch the rest of the playoffs.

We're just a scrappy team of fighers who know how to pull out the victory each time!!! We have a great coach, a class-act for a QB, a great tandem of rushers and receivers and one of the top kickers in the league.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Who is going to be beaten next week.

Carolina is the better team.

[tom_paine]

23. Dream on, Mrs. Grumpy

I'm not saying it's impossible for the Eagles to lose, nor am I saying they have the NFC Championship locked up. Certainly a repeat of last year is not impossible, but I think it is very unlikely that Carolina will win.

Not impossible, just very unlikely.

Though I can certainly understand why you are so grumpy today, Mrs. Grumpy.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Ha! :) But Philly is being overestimated. I think this SuperBowl is

going to surprise everyone and be a match up between the Colts and the Panthers. No room for Philly. They have had an extremely lucky season.

[TopesJunkie]

25. Oh, it's impossible! Destiny's Eagles will SOAR!

Carolina can't fight destiny.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. Carolina will beat the Eagles...no destiny involved. I, a Packer fan

don't believe in destiny.

[TopesJunkie]

28. Belief is not necessary. Destiny's Eagles will reign regardless --

Destiny doesn't need believers. It's self-esteem is intact. It knows it's power, and it will carry the Eagles upward and onward!

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Really, I almost stroked out yesterday and don't want the same thing

to happen to you. ;). I think it's Carolina's year. The Philly's just don't have enough. :shrug:

[TopesJunkie]

30. They've got all they need --

Destiny showed itself on 4th and 26, and it will be there again when the Panthers go to Philly.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Injuries...and that's a reality.

sorry. :shrug: But I know how you feel. I really thought the Packers were going to win. With a different coach, they would have.

[TopesJunkie]

33. Injuries Schminjuries --

Nothing can stop Destiny's Eagles. NOTHING!

Nobody named DelHomme (or whatever) will ever quarterback in the Super Bowl. I'm sure there's some Patriot Act passage that forbids it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Super Bowl is his...to lose...to the Colts. It's Peyton's year. And he

really deserves it. I can't even be mad about that. :hi:

[TopesJunkie]

36. I like Tony Dungy, and would love to see him get there --

I don't see the Colts getting past New England's D, however. B-)

[MrSlayer]

37. Wow, you sound bitter MrsGrumpy.

We're better than Carolina, we already beat them once, just as we beat you guys twice. I would have rooted for the Packers had they beat us yesterday. You always want the team that defeats you in the playoffs to go all the way (Except the Cowgirls), it's sort of a moral victory. "At least we lost to the champs." Now you're going to be upset again next week. Come on board, fly with us. Carolina has no history and their fans don't even care about their team.

[TopesJunkie]

39. Even I have to ask, "Where's the bitterness?"

Sorry, I know she doesn't understand the Eagles are THE team of Destiny, but I don't see any bitterness on her part.

[MrSlayer]

40. Carolina's better, we're lucky, etc.

Sounds bitter to me. We went 12-4 and got the number one seed for a reason. We are the best team in the NFC. It just sickens me that people don't give us the respect we deserve.

[HuckleB]

41. Me thinks you imagined it. Big, big time.

Your posts are far more bitter than MrsGrumpy's.

[MrSlayer]

43. In general or just about the Eagles?

I'm feeling introspective, help me out. MrsGrumble is the only member I sort of know personally, we're friendly rivals.

[HuckleB]

44. I'm referring to this thread only.

[MrSlayer]

45. You know what? I see your point.

I'm bitter for not getting recognition, she's being salty. A completely different thing.

[TopesJunkie]

12. Sorry, you don't convert a 4th and 26 unless you've got DESTINY!

The Eagles are all about DESTINY. Just because a couple of goofy sports writers misplaced things upon the Packers, doesn't change that. The Eagles have been chosen by the universe. You can deny it, but you can't change it. Destiny sings on Eagles wings.

[LynneSin]

16. No, you convert 4th & 26th because you have McNabb

Who is our leader.

Destiny sucks big ones. I had to listen to that dumb phrase all last week when the critics said that Green Bay would win because they are a "Team of Destiny".

As an Eagle fan, we would prefer that dumb phrase NOT be used describing our team. It's a term used for LOSERS - which the Eagles are not!!!!

[TopesJunkie]

17. Aww. Sorry to hear that you don't like Destiny's fate --

McNabb or not, 4th and 26 conversions don't happen to teams that don't have DESTINY on their side.

Sorry to say it, but the Eagles are true team of Destiny. They are the epitome of DESTINY!

Destiny, it is an Eagle.

[LynneSin]

18. Destiny is heading back to Green Bay

Everyone in the Philly area agrees: That nickname is the "Kiss of Death" for the playoffs.

[TopesJunkie]

19. The Packers left Destiny in Philadelphia --

Enjoy it while you can!

[Redbear]

13. Pats

Have a recent championship.

Would love to see McNabb or Manning get a ring.

[Mrs. Venation]

15. Panthers

I'd like to see the Eagles win the Super Bowl, but it's a purely emotional reaction to Rush Lamebrain's comments about Donovan McNabb.

[Wonco_the_Sane]

20. Anyone see "Destiny turns on the radio"?

Seahawk fan here. (thanks packers for killing us TWICE :()

I'd Say remove the Eagles, however they seem to do a good job of removing themselves every NFC champ. game. :) Plus McNabb killed me in fantasy football(had to go with Kitna mostly, you know it's bad when to go to the Bengals).

All that said, I'd remove the Pats cuz they are just boring to watch.

Destiny??? Destiny in not a fourth down pass, if anything it's the Panthers 8 super close wins. With my Seachickens out, go underdogs so go Panthers to the SUPERBOWL!!!!


Fantasy advice for next year...don't get McNabb unless they get him some WR's to throw to. Matt Hasselbeck anyone :)

[TopesJunkie]

22. Hasselback's a great pick for fantasy football --

However, as long as Bob Whitsitt is involved with the Seahawks, I hope they stay away from all championship games.

[Wonco_the_Sane]

27. True, but they seem to have something going

I'm just glad they aren't 9-7 or 7-9 or 8-8 8-8 8-8 8-8 8-8 yet again...

[BigDaddyLove]

21. I wonder which one Rush would pick?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

:D

[TopesJunkie]

34. If it wasn't for Rush, there would be no Destiny --

He pushed Destiny to the Eagles, and Destiny fell in love.

[ArkDem]

31. Pats

.

[MrSlayer]

38. The Colts.

Patriots will handle that for me on Sunday.

[HuckleB]

42. I'll let the teams decide. I like 'em all.
