You can *suppose* to your hearts content.  Your thrill of victory
has obviously blinded your common sense or your lack of the NFL is
looming before us.  I will spell it out for you. Please take off
your blinders and stop looking through a narrow tube.  Perhaps you
should look where it counts, the previous SB participants. How often
has the BEST team, i.e., the "so-called" best QB, best defense, best
offense, blah, blah, won the SB. I hate to enlighten you Bub, but
the "so-called" best team does not always win.  Does Broadway Joe
ring a bell? You know the results. Do you remember when the Niners & 
Montana played the Dolphins & Marino for the SB. I remember distinctly 
all the hype in favor of the Dolphins and how Marino was the better QB 
in all areas of the game. You know the results. There are countless
of more current games and you only have to go as far back as last weeks
games.  Stats go out the window. Can't you grasp that idea. Is it so hard 
for to comprehend. Yes, the Eagles are good, not the best. Yes, the Niners
are good, not the best. Yes, the Dolphins are good, not best. Get
the idea?

The Niners best will ALWAYS be beat the Eagles best. End result, 
Niners WIN, Eagles LOSE. Please prove to me that the Eagles are
better than ANYBODY, based on championships and or SB wins. ZERO!
Come on, get a grip. The Niners are the one of the teams ALL other 
teams measure themselves against if they have any brains. Which most don't, BTW.
Rationale, why emulate a team who has not won anything? Get a clue.

Please wait your turn, it will come up. The more you "talk" the more
obvious it becomes that you have no sense or understanding of the
game of football. Football is based on tradition of winning and
the good organizations have a way of retaining this winning 
attitude. The Eagles have yet to sustain any winning traditions that
have culminated in championships and SB wins. Get a clue. Clue to
the uninformed, just take a look of the traditions of the five
former SB winners. Do you see a commonality there? Clue: tradition!
It takes a winner to be a winner. The Eagles are not yet winners
of anything except 4 games, get a clue.
