Cable is an offensive guy. He was their o-line coach, before he became the interim HC, and he also took over the offensive playcalling for the last five games of the season.

As for Garrett, he can't make a lateral move to another team, unless Jerry Jones lets him out of his contract. Garrett wouldn't do that in a million years, anyways. He's getting paid reportedly $3 mil a year as OC for the Cowboys. If Rex Ryan lands the HC job in NY, he will probably sign a contract similar to Spags, which is a little less then $3 mil a season. You won't be seeing Garrett making that kind of money there.

COME ON EAGLES!!!!

BACK TO BACK PARADES.

Don't you guys know anything about curses? A city gets swamped with championships once a sports curse is lifted. Boston won the Superbowl (I know they won before the 2004 sox), the NBA title, and the World Series again.

Its simple science

Phillies never had a curse as they had a championship in 1980.

Agreed except for movie trailers debuting during the game.

I don't know who to root for in the bird game. I feel for Donovan as he is forever shit on and I'd like to see him shove it in his doubters' faces, but Arizona is a great story too.

And oh look, Fitzgerald just scored.

At least our team blew it in the NFC championship game instead of the superbowl. I just hope the AFC team wins the Superbowl.

I don't want another "We would have won the championship if we werent upset" thing to happen like what happened with us and
Tampa Bay at the Vet's last game.

Just because a team, or a city, doesn't win doesn't equal a curse.

25 years isn't that long considering Philly teams didn't put any great teams on the field in that span.

I don't get coach clock management sometimes. It seemed like the Cards were trying to milk the clock on that last drive once they got into scoring position; which would only accomplish giving them less time if the Eagles score in the final 3 minutes. If that screen hadn't worked, they would have given themselves only one shot at the end zone and the Eagles would've only needed a FG to win.

Well not if they play like that second half against the Steelers or the Ravens. But good game!

Our owner is one of the most hands off owners in the league. Reid will be our couch for at least another 3-4 years. Donovan bought himself a year or two with his playoff run this year. Kolb sucks ass.

They should fire him. They need to hire a new offensive minded coach, preferably from the NFC east (because he already knows the division so well). Not a retread, either. Get a first time head coach. Maybe a guy who used to be a back up quarterback. They need to hire a real intelligent guy, perhaps an ivy league graduate. And definitely someone born in Pennsylvania.

The Arizona Cardinals?!!

Are you FUCKING kidding me?!!!!!

I usually pull for the underdogs but the way that these scrubs played the last few weeks of the regular season really makes me hate them (plus, they beat my Falcons in the first round).

And the first person that blames McNabb for the loss needs to be smacked, HARD. 375 Yds, 3 TDs to 1 Int wasn't the problem; letting Kurt Warner march all over the Phillie defense was the killer.

Why bust your ass when you've already sewn your division up? Put in the backups, keep your principals healthy.

C'mon, Ravens! I want a Super Bowl that makes a maximum amount of people whine like babies (although if the Steelers go on and the Cardinals wind up beating them, the resulting keening wail of despair will be just as sweet).

I may not like the Cardinals but I do admit that they have earned their way to the Super Bowl. Their coaches implemented some great game plans and the team executed the plans perfectly. I don't like them but I also can't say that they got lucky. They have inexplicably played crazy good the past 3 weeks.

The refs haven't helped. That roughing call was a partial payback for the shitty calls they've already made to keep Baltimore in the game. Sweed cost them 10 points--7 for the dropped TD, and 3 for losing the timeout so they could kick a FG.

Screw all you Steeler haters. Hating on a family run franchise that actually does things that benefit the local economy over their own bottom line. Must be because your team lost to them too many times.
