If the Eagles are the best team in the league (I have my doubts) then it proves that the NFL has become a watered down mess as I've been saying for a few years now. There just isn't enough talent at the QB position to fill the rosters of 32 teams. College football is blowing away the NFL as far as entertainment value is concerned. Then you get injuries and it becomes even worse. Thanks!

Sorry, not sorry that we were out Saturday night and I missed that riveting Flyers game! Eh what?

It's not watered down. It's just the ebb and flow from year to year. Why do you have doubts? Because they're a Philadelphia team that's not the Flyers?

No, cause they've played ONE real team and were lucky to beat them. Hell, they were lucky to beat the Deadskins twice. By rights they should be in the rest of the pack at 6-3. And it is watered down. The NFC is a joke this year and the AFC isn't much better. Just littered with bad football teams. It's almost as bad as the NBA.

Every team they played is real and they've beaten every team they've played but one. If you were paying attention, as I said previously, there are no great teams in the league this year. That means that the league is more balanced and therefore more competitive from game to game. Your comment that they've only beaten one real team doesn't hold water. What in the world does by rights they should be 6-3 mean? LOL. That doesn't make any sense.

How is that so hard for you to understand? Guess you weren't a math major? They should have lost yesterday and they should have lost one of the Deadskins games. Wa la...that would make them 6-3.

Eagles are 22-4 in the last 26 regular season games. 22-2 with Hurts playing. They win because they know how to finish close games. The Cowboys do not know how to finish close games. I would love for them to win 41-10 every week.

Minus the refs that was a great game yesterday. Put away the flags people!

That's brutally hysterical along with you calling it a math issue. You're talking fantasy and not dealing in reality. Apparently, it's too hard for you to understand that the team with the most points at the end of the game, wins the game.

You really know how to spin things. Life is full of hypotheticals! Hell, the Eagles could have lost both games against the Deadskins! In that case they would be 5-4 and you'd have to close all the bridges in the area to keep Eagles heads from jumping!!

Deak Prescott has never been a winner. Eagles have some issues no doubt but one key mark of a really good team is that they make plays when it matters the most. The Eagles do that.

You're telling me I really know how to spin things why you're living in a fantasy land and spinning your ass off about what should've or could've happened. No check that, it's what you wanted to happen. Sorry for you, it did not. Please do not jump off a bridge over it

By your own logic, they could've beat the Jets too (blew it in the fourth quarter) and they'd be 9-0. See? I can do it too!

That's true, and they still would have only beaten ONE quality opponent by the skin of their teeth. Please don't count the Phins as a quality opponent. They are a fraud. They are 6-3 after losing to the Chiefs and the combined record of the teams that they have beaten is 7-30! They suck!

No worries there. It's just sports and I'm able to decipher the difference between sports and real life unlike some folks.

Your record on posting that players SUCK is pitiful and embarrassing. I had a chuckle and stopped reading. You worship Torterella as a deity. You have no clue about the game of hockey.
- MJL

Hmmm ... this is the best you got? Maybe you stick to Football

I don't worship Torts. I have criticized Torts on several occasions and already this year I was against Torts sitting down Frost for even 1 game, and I have stately consistently that I think the top problem with the Flyers' PP is coaching. However I can also see where Torts has done a great job in several areas, and I can see a man that is clearly trying his best to change with the times and put his past in the past. The entire Flyers organization is immensely better since Torts has arrived, and all I am saying is he deserves credit, along with criticism when warranted. It's called being fair and open-minded, not your strongest traits.

Not if your logic is influenced by some absurd and irrational hatred for Philadelphia sports team other than the Flyers. Is math too hard for you?

Let's go back and review your posts before the Eagles-Dolphins game and what you were saying about what was going to happen in that game.

No, it's not the best I got. It's simply all that is needed to counter you. I stopped reading after that sentence.

I doubt I said much cause I knew that Dolphins had beaten a bunch of nobodies prior to that game with the Beagles.

You doubt it? LOL. You were spouting off that the Dolphins were going to spank the Eagles because they were the first real team they were going to play. Now it's the Dolphins aren't a real team.

He has a point about your disdain for Torts. I honestly believe that you would be disappointed if the Flyers won a Cup under Torts just to spite him.

You're wrong on both counts. My opinion on Tortorella is accurate and is not based on emotion or any irrational thinking such as your disdain for non Flyers Philadelphia sports teams.

I'm not going to waste my time doing that. We have the evidence of irrational post after irrational post with no intelligence behind it, of you criticizing and downplaying any success that any of the Eagles. Phillies and Sixers have had. It's well documented. Including today.
