NFL Playoff Schedule Released

The only team in Philly worth rooting is the Penn Quakers. Heck, the Quakers have won many more Ivy League football titles than the total numbers of championships won by Philly's four major professional sports teams, combined.

Go Penn!

Tell that to Cliff Lee and his wife. Just don't spit when you talk.

Who's your No. 5 hitter? That line-up is looking awfully short without Werth. Its Chase Utley and a bunch of guys on a downward trend. You lost Werth, but don't worry. You got Ryan Howard locked up through 2015!

[JoltinJoe]

Everyone knows that the Philadelphia Phillies are major sports' biggest losers ever, with over 10,000 losses.

But did you know that the Philadelphia Eagles are the second biggest losers in NFL history -- second only to the Detroit Lions?

And the Eagles aren't even an original NFL franchise, and yet they have more losses than all of the original NFL teams, who have played nine more seasons.

Maybe the Eagles should move, like the Cardinals, so they can start their loss count all over again.

Glad you didn't wait another year or two to post that, it will no longer be true.

Philadelphia Eagles - 554
New York Giants - 542

Go Penn!

Nice retort, coming as it does from an alum of the second best Catholic school in the Patriot League!

But the Giants have played nine more seasons, and are well above .500 for their history (over .550), while the Eagles have a winning percentage of .480. The difference is in wins.

PS -- Your numbers are wrong.

Eagles All-Time: 505 W and 536 L.
Giants All-Time: 636 and 524.

Big talk from the guy from the second best college in Cambridge.

I'm confused - what does this have to do with the Giants missing the playoffs again this year?

[89Hen]

Eagles All-Time: 505 W and 536 L.
Giants All-Time: 636 and 524.

Mine were all games played through the start of the sesason. I guess unless the Eagles win the SB, they will have one more loss than the Giants this year... I'm sure you'd rather be in the Eagles position.

[89Hen]

BTW, post season (you know, when it counts)...

New York Giants 20-24
Philadelphia Eagles 19-19

Giants are well below .500

Of course Joe doesn't want to be in the Eagles current position. Today doesn't matter, next year doesn't matter. Looking backwards, now that's what really matters.

Giants: 7 NFL championships, including 3 Super Bowl wins
Eagles: 3 NFL titles (none in the past 50 years), and no Super Bowl wins.

You were saying something about "when it counts"?

I chose Harvard over MIT because it had hotter women!

Yea, but everyone knows the MIT guys get all the Harvard women.

Does the 7 get you a bid into the playoffs this year?

Can't make the playoffs every year.

And you can't win the Super Bowl every year. But of course you already know that.

[89Hen]

Can't make the playoffs every year.

Well, not quite every year, but close.... 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010.

And the years they didn't win the Super Bowl?

Drawing the Eagles in the playoffs is almost like getting a bye week.

Really? Playoff wins since 2000...

New England - 14
Philadelphia - 10
Indianapolis - 9
Pittsburgh - 9
Baltimore - 8
New York Giants - 6

Stick to talking about past championships.

Super Bowl wins?? "0"

Super Bowl wins?? "0"

See, you're much better sticking to that. But, I'll take watching my team play this weekend over past SB's any day of the week. Redskins have three of them and not a day goes by when I don't thank God I'm not a Skins fan.

There you go, that's better. No sense focusing on the present when there is no Giants present. Yup, still no Giant playoff game this year - I'll keep checking for you to see if that changes.

Yup. Sure would like a SB win this year, but other than that, don't really care about past ones.
