The annual BUCC'S WILL BEAT THE EAGLES THREAD

faded glory · January 14, 2003, 02:25

I know...I know...some of you might remember similiar threads.

I said this 2 years ago.

I said it last year.

ok but I REALLY have a feeling for REAL this time.

Tampa Bay is going defeat the Eagles this time!

Go Bucc's!

faded glory · January 14, 2003, 02:27

How can anyone disagree? The bucc's beat there cold weather loss record. The Bucc's have an offense. There confident this year. There defense is out there makin things happen.

Eagles dont have a prayer!!!!

That is all,
Goodbye

Go Bucs!

One of the talking heads on Sunday said the Bucs have the most dominating defense since the '85 Bears. That's impressive.

ixnay · January 14, 2003, 03:32

Go Eagles!

And if it the Bucs make it to the super bowl (

), go AFC!

Dis · January 14, 2003, 05:09

I feel it too.

I wasn't impressed with McNabb against the Falcons. In fact I think they had better offense with their backup QB- Feely.

But the problem is mostly pscychological. If TB throws too many INT's or has too many fumbles, Philly's defense will score and Philly will win the game. But I just can't see Philly's offense scoring more than 1 touchdown against TB's defense. Special teams could be another problem for the Buc's though. As Philly has a good return man.

Harovan · January 14, 2003, 05:36

Not that I really care about handmelon, but Go Tampa Bay Buccaneers!

Zopperoni · January 14, 2003, 07:10

EAGLES!

Sava · January 14, 2003, 09:33

The Eagles are going to win. The Bucs couldn't score a TD against the Chicago Bears... 'Nuff Said!

SlowwHand · January 14, 2003, 09:35

So the whole point of the thread, is who will Oakland beat in the Super Bowl ?

Imran Siddiqui · January 14, 2003, 13:58

Exactly Slow.

How soon we forget. I think the Baltimore Ravens of 2000 could match up pretty damned well against the Bucs. Remember their QBs were Banks and Dilfer and they STILL won the SuperBowl!

And Brad Johnson is better than both of them put together.

I guess he forgot about the Ravens a couple of years ago. The talking heads are a bunch of hype-mongers.

This year is pretty depressing, since there is no dominant team.

Iggles and Da Raidas.

Dis · January 14, 2003, 14:36

The reason they couldn't score a TD against the bears was because of a certain QB named Rob Johnson. I hated this guy in Buffalo. I couldn't figure out why they liked him over Doug Flutie.

They are a different team with Brad Johnson at QB. I do think they can score 1 offensive TD against Philadelphia. And that should be enough.

Jac de Molay · January 14, 2003, 15:42

I dont care who wins as long as they beat the Raiders. Obnoxious owner. Obnoxious fans.

DaShi · January 14, 2003, 15:43

You're dreamin' Faded.

Dilfer is as good as Brad.

So, a team wins 1 game in cold weather and now that whole cold weather thing is not an issue?

They are 1-34 in cold weather, when they get to 34-34 THEN it is no longer an issue.

ACK!

Eternal Philly pessimist I am. I agree Slow. Philly wins in a annual thrashing of the Succaneers only to have the 1980 Superbowl repeat experience.

Go Eagles!!!

Chop block that overhyped cheap shotting, low class, celebrating that he hurt an opponent, spitting in Brian Mitchell's face, thug Sapp!!!

Now that they have Grudog, Tampa fans think they have the second coming of Lombardi. Maybe if he actually takes some Metamucil he can clear up that painful face scowl he seems so proud of. Perhaps some prune juice would do the trick.

We had our fill of Grudog. Ritchie Kotite and Grudog a match made in heaven.

..... Awaits the clatter of bandwagon jumping Succanear fans clamboring to tell him he is dead wrong on ole Chuckie....

Thrawn05 · January 17, 2003, 00:25

I'm no Bucc's fan (Go Jets!), but I hate, detest, loathe, abhor, dislike, despise, deride, spurn, and scorn the Eagles within the deepest darkest recessess of my little black heart.

I wish them hardship and misery as they kiss the dirt.

monolith94 · January 17, 2003, 00:51

the feelings are mutual, Thrawn

My question is HOW can you hate the Eagles? I can see how you can hate the Bucs (Keyshaun and Sapp) and the Raiders (Al Davis) but how can anyone hate the Eagles or Titans unless you are a Giants, Cowboys, or Pittsburgh fan?

Sten Sture · January 17, 2003, 01:42

Raiders rule!

Rod Woodson trumps Al Davis.

Dis · January 17, 2003, 02:27

I hate Philly fans, but I really don't have anything against the Eagles.

Yes I still remembered how they acted when Michael Irvin got a career ending injury.

That is at least just as bad as what Warren Sapp did. It's funny how people conviently forget that little chapter in Eagles history.

Ogie Oglethorpe · January 17, 2003, 09:41

Forget

No way!!

Vet stadium is meant to be the nastiest meanest place to play. A place to be feared.

You don't like it boo hoo, don't go there.

(A self fulfilling home field advanatage.)

Say what you want about the fans, there is no denying their passion. Certainly beats the apathy of west coast and until recently my new home Atlanta.

And by the by, the attitude of the ignorant masses is not on par IMO with the attitude of the players. The players have a direct ability to influence the outcome (i.e can actually intend to injure). The code of the player is much more sacrosanct than that of the fans.

Imran Siddiqui · January 17, 2003, 11:22

Very true... the only place more fearful than the Vet is Oakland

Bills fans will have beefs with the Titans. The Music City Miracle didn't happen too long ago, you know. I bet Texans fans don't want the Titans to win either.

And Imran, the Vet is the one place I wouldn't be caught dead in. I'd go to the Black Hole in a second in my Tampa jersey, but not the Vet. Philly fans in GENERAL are insane...

Dis · January 17, 2003, 14:14

apathy in the west coast?

not in Oakland.

You will see the black hole Sunday.

Ogie Oglethorpe · January 17, 2003, 15:34

Largest market LA still can't support enough fan interest to support a team. I'll give you Oakland and San Fran but LA is pitiful.
