All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Sadly, we probably will always hold that prize.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

Originally posted by Mike32282 What if the Eagles go to two more in a row and lose them too? Then what's worse? 5 NFC Championships in a row or 4 Super Bowls?
Second place in the NFC isn't the same as Super Bowl Loser.

Originally posted by Mike32282 true. But where does it end? let's say for some reason, the Eagles keep this up and lose 10 NFC Championships in a row. IMO, that is worse.
and who remembers that pain???...... noone but Eagle fans and rabid rival fans. Everyone, to include non football fans, laugh at us.
"The Big Dance" is much more important...........

I heard on PTI the other day that some are considering the Eagles as the J.V. version of the Buffalo Bills if they lose this game....I thought it was pretty funny...but sad ....lol.
It's one thing to not "win the big one." What is really bad is when you can't win the "next to the big one;" especially in your own yard! Just ask Bill Cowher (although his failures aren't consecutive).
Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"

Here is my take. It depends on who your asking. What would be more painful to the teams fans? The Buffalo fans would feel the worst pain about losing four bowls than divisional title games, while im sure that is frustrating for Philly.
As far as what the teams achieved, than I think Buffalo wins this one, and will be the most remembered team because they were so great, while in 10, 15 yrs when the subject of great NFL teams comes up, im not sure we will see the 2001, 2002, 2003 Eagles on this list while the Bills will be, regardless of the 4 sb losses. I know the Bills are still laughed at by some, but the jokes were a lot more intense right after we lost our 4th and now they seem to get more praise for what they accomplished back then instead of jokes. The only time I really see jokes about it are when we are dealing with trolls from teams we are about to play.
I think the consecutive losses in the NFC Title game is worse. At least the Bills won a CHAMPIONSHIP; they have hardware. The Eagles, if they lose this game, will have none. And losing two in a row AT HOME? Inexcusable. I would much rather have the Bills go to four SB's and lose than have them constantly lose in the Championship game. I think most Eagles fans will feel the same way.
The thing is- we're the only ones who have ever lost 4 straight SB's. Other teams have lost 3 straight championships- it happened to the Raiders TWICE (late sixties and mid-seventies).
So, as long as we're the exclusive title holder for SB impotence, it has to be worse.
What's even worse is since, expansion teams like Baltimore won, Carolina is in, St Louis won, NE won, Tampa Bay won for Christ sakes.
NE fans should love us, cause we are the BOSOX of the NFL.
