Does the Eagles run remind you of anything???

I wouldn't call last years defense great. It was a good defense that played well together. The 06 Ravens defense is great.

Weren't we ranked 5th - 7th? That's a great D...something you wish for every season. Not one to hit the record books, but a great D none the less.

They were 9th. Very good. But when I think of great defenses I think of 85 Bears, 91 Eagles, 00 Ravens, 02 Bucs and even the Ravens of this year. Not sure if you remember the 91 Eagles defense but I think that was the best of all time. They were number one against both the pass and the run.

OK, we're obviously having an argument over verbage. SO how about I say that the Eagles D is mediocre (not good) and that the Skins D was good (not great)? My point still remains the same.

I think it would be very funny if the Eagles won the SB with McNabb sitting on the bench. What would happen next year? What would happen at the QB spot if Garcia could pull that off? As much as I would hate to see them win the SB that would really be fun to see what would happen at the QB spot. The fans woulld go crazy if they started Mcnabb and he lost a game or two to start the season.

By the way, those defenses were the best of all time...they surpass great.

Of course I remember the 91 Eagles...I remember the 85 Bears...I'll be 32 in a couple weeks. Those were some outstanding defenses.

PS- the Skins had some great defenses in their time too. The 82 and 91 teams.

We had some very fine and underated defenses. The 91 defense was insane. A bunch of mix and matching parts that worked so well together. Jumpy Geathers and Fred Stokes rushing the passer. Tim Johnson and Eric Williams stopping th run. Goviuea and Millen in the middle. Casserly did a great job putting that team together. Ritchie Petibone does not get enough credit in this town. It all goes to Gibbs and I think it's too bad. If there was a Hall of Fame for assitants RP would be a first ballot. He may or may not have been head coach material, but he was a GREAT defensive coordinator.

We were better than they are though. We underachieved and then finally played up to our potential, whereas they are in way over their heads this year. That's not to take anything away from them, their run has been phenomenal, but I would be real surprised to see them win a playoff game.


I dont think they are over acheiving. They are a good team. Good enough to be in the playoffs. To say we were better than them may be a stretch. They have something this year comparable to last year, the togetherness, the never die attitude. These guys have rallied around Garcia and are playing really good football. To win the games they have on the road. I really wouldn't be the team to play them in the playoffs.

That's funny that you bring up Petibone...I was just talking about him to my wife over lunch. I was complaining about the overpriced talent, and we don't need all stars, we need a bunch of players that play well together. Petibone knew that and it showed.

He was one of the best of all time. How many Hall of Famers did he coach on defense? One and it will be Darrell Green. That's it. 3 SB's and one Hall of Famer. Just as impressive as 3 SB's with three different QB's in my opinion. Not only did they play well together but half time adjustments were great too.

Ah yes, the good ole days.
Hopefully the ship will be righted in 07.
