    I’ve twice tried to get an intelligent response out of you and twice you have proven to be incapable of doing so

    So in the future just feel free to assume I don’t expect anything intelligent from you

    I hope that clears up your confusion

    We’re is such a drought, my Eagles fan friends are starting to talk trash:

    They are telling me my only hope is if Rooney’s sell the team? WTH?

    It’s getting bad, we need a serious run to get the haters off our backs.

    If, and that is a big if, Howard shocks everyone, there would be some hope. But we have to remember, we have the most overrated coach in the league.

    Seeing how this thread has taken off I
    I have and been burned on the Steelers. Now for some reason I win with the Eagles especially when they play against rookie QB's in NFCCG's.

    Fact: All of "Knoll's" players were retired by the time Cowher won SBXL.

    Cowher had a bunch of great players drafted by Knoll for SBXXX such as....... Rod Woodson, Dermotti Dawson, Carnell Lake, Greg Lloyd, etc. But none of those players were playing NFL football in 2005.

    True but in the first year of Cowher in 1992, this Steelers team had talent but very few playoff experience.

    I know it's sarcastic that Cowher was bad at the draft, but Colbert and Cowher together were just amazing at drafting, especially in the first round.

    Burress, Hampton, Simmons, Polamalu, Ben, Miller, and Holmes were all first-round picks under Colbert and Cowher!...It was likely the best team in the NFL in the draft during this period!

    What does that matter. Did he or did he not win a SB. Cowher players and all that bs aside? If he did it once he can do it again.

    “defined by intensity, discipline, and a passion for the game” Discipline being the keyword.

    As opposed to Tomlins motivational speeches. What did Noll say? If I have to motivate you im going to cut you? Something along those lines.

    As far as players not being able to go talk to Cowher, maybe they should grow some balls.
