Yeah, no, the fellowship of the ring could not have destroyed the ring in an afternoon, you herbs. Gandalf calls in the Eagles, the Eagles agree to carry Frodo (or whoever, it doesn't affect the outcome) and not even midway through the flight, the ring begins to take hold of the minds of the Eagles. Remember Boromir? How he snapped and tried to kill Frodo to get the ring? Yeah........those eagles would have dropped the ring bearer from their backs at a massive height, then recovered the ring from the bloody pulp on the ground and delivered the ring to Sauron. Good thinking noobs, hand the greatest enemy his one desire.
