Playoffs

My Rams were eliminated last week by the friggin Panthers of all teams...so I guess it's time to start rooting for the Colts. My Superbowl teams are Colts and Eagles, with the Colts winning it.

Looks like you lose again beo. I'd wish you better luck next year, but uh... ya.

Dedman · Post by **Dedman** » Thu Jan 15, 2004 10:24 pm

I say it will be Pats and Panthers with the Pats taking the ring. But then again my Chargers went 4-12 so what the heck to I know.

Patriots and Eagles - Eagles Win. This has been a year riddled with racism issues within the NFL and I don't think that a black QB has ever won the Bowl before, so why not?

Doug Williams won the superbowl as the Redskins starting QB.

Pats and Eagles. Pats win. BWAH

If anyone thinks that the Panthers have any chance of getting to the Superbowl, I pity them. This is our year. Philly has been denied a major sports title for 20 years and 81 professional seasons, and this is our year. In the words of the late and great Tug McGraw, "Ya gotta believe!" We've been denied the past two years, but I truly feel that the third time's a charm. All of that being said, there's just one more thing...

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Uh, what you really meant to say was that Philly has FAILED TO EARN a major sports title for 20 years and 81 professional seasons. Right?

"Denied" works as it describes the other teams efforts in defeating philly teams in a Championship

What was the last one? The Flyers? I know theyve won the cup a few times, not for a longggg time tho...

I'm probably wrong so

Top Gun · Post by **Top Gun** » Fri Jan 16, 2004 9:27 pm

Vader, I'm pretty sure that it was the Sixers in 1983. The Phillies won their only World Series in 1980, the Eagles have never won a Superbowl but won the NFL Championship in 1960, and the Flyers won the Stanley Cup in 1974 and 1975.

As for my possible syntax error above, just ask any Philly sports fan, and they'll tell you that "denied" is the right word to use.

Colts Vs Panthers, more like 49-35 in favor of Indy.

Tyranny · Post by **Tyranny** » Fri Jan 16, 2004 11:39 pm

Was sorry to hear about Tug McGraw....the Phillies look like that have a really good team this year. Potentially improved from last year, specially with Billy Wagner as the closer.

I don't think the Marlins will repeat, and the Braves have lost some pitching / Batting potency, and the Mets & Expos *laugh*, the NL East looks like it could be wide open for the Phillies and their cheese steak eating fans to win the division and perhaps win a WS

Isn't this Philly's third consecutive trip to the NFC Championship game? Yeah...

Vlider · Post by **Vlider** » Sun Jan 18, 2004 7:07 am

The colts have been my fav ever since that miracle season they had back when they lost to the steelers with that hail mary pass.

then the steelers went on to play the cowboys in the superbowl.

and i hate the patriots eversince they got lucky with the raiders.

COLTS ALL THE WAY!

Suncho · Post by **Suncho** » Sun Jan 18, 2004 11:30 pm

BWAH. Your Colts are gone! But so are the Eagles... guess I was wrong about them. Anyway... Patriots ARE TEH WIN.

Tyranny · Post by **Tyranny** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 12:23 am

I have to pick the Pats now too...

Top Gun · Post by **Top Gun** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 1:09 am

Ugh...I'm officially sick to my stomach. This one hasn't sunk in yet, but it will with a vengeance.

You know, maybe I should find a more successful city to cheer for (or so I say until next season

)

As for me, I'd like to see the Patriots absolutely crush that other team that will henceforth go unnamed.

TheCops · Post by **TheCops** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 8:44 am

the best thing about the super bowl is that i'll be at cesarâ??s palace gambling and watching it. anyone else going to vegas?

Palzon · Post by **Palzon** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:35 am

McNabb is officially the Danny White of his day

Strange how #24 had 3 picks in both games.

I'll take the Pats over the Panthers by 3.

Beowulf · Post by **Beowulf** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 4:51 pm

I'd like to now take this time to announce how much I hate the New England Patriots. I would root for anyone over that god forsaken team. Go Panthers. I can't believe Philly and Indy both choked. Again. Ugh.

Avder · Post by **Avder** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 7:56 pm

To heck with the pats. I am officially a panthers fan until the end of the superbowl.

Zoop! · Post by **Zoop!** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:05 pm

/jumps on Panther Bandwagon

Though I hated how they dismantled my Bucs during the regular season, I've already become sick of hearing about how the Patriots will [any verb for dismantle] anyone in the Super Bowl. Go Panthers! NFC South Pride!

Vlider · Post by **Vlider** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:15 pm

yea the colts lost

oh well maybe next year.

now GO PANTHERS! DESTROY those referee spoiled patriots!

Tyranny · Post by **Tyranny** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 11:48 pm

I have a HUGE amount of respect for McNabb. Not only did he get injured and tried playing through it but he gave his team every possible opportunity he could to win. The receivers running incorrect routes from the plays that were being called were a huge factor in the Panthers handing them their asses.

They should have ran the ball more earlier in the game as they were gaining more yards that way...

Defender · Post by **Defender** » Tue Jan 20, 2004 11:52 pm

You'll all be crying in your shirts come sunday.

Beo's prediction also proves the pats will win, since every team he's said will win/make it has lost.

PATS ALL THE WAY F00S!

I can't believe you used thread necromancy on this one, it wasn't exactly a surprise that the Pats won

palzon, i hope you're a betting man, because if you are, you're quite rich right now!

i know i didn't exactly go out on a limb, but its pretty not bad, eh?

Beowulf · Post by **Beowulf** » Mon Feb 02, 2004 4:16 pm

****!!!!!!!!! asdhgasdkljhklg patriots and vinatieri again

BTW did anyone realize that this superbowl was pretty much exactly the same as the one 2 years ago (between rams and pats)...panthers were behind, came back in second half, tied it up on a Ricky Proehl TD catch, lost because of a big pass play and a Vinatieri kick at the end of the game.

still a good game, but I hate that pats.
