Supreme choke. They talked all that junk thinking they had everything wrapped up after the thanksgiving game. You can tell they lost focus and when they got blown out by Seattle they got nervous when Dallas beat Chicago. Our victory over them was the final blow to their confidence. That defense got exposed.

I'm guessing Sanchez will be working at a Home Depot next season

Exactly. It dispels any notion that Sanchez was "screwed" by the Jets and Rex Ryan. He's just not very good.

Even Foles is only a step up. I like what Chip is trying to build, but he needs to stop fooling himself and realize he needs to get a legitimate NFL quarterback on that roster.

It is nice to see someone else collapse at the end of the year for a change.

We really should have won the division in 2011 - just had to hold that lead against the Giants.

Then 2012 all the injuries did us in. Then 2013 all the injuries plus losing Romo for the season finale.

I was a bit worried we were about to see a run of bad fortune with the injuries to Free, Murray and Martin last week but this definitely gives us a much easier road to get into the playoffs. 1 win or tie and we win the division. A loss or tie by the Eagles next week and we win the division.

for 49 straight years, the Eagles have choked, either missing the playoffs entirely, or losing their final game, to never bring home the hardware. The ultimate choke job for 49 years. Next year will be the 50th anniversary, and I look forward to celebrating it!

I want all the guys who claimed that Kelly is so great and Garrett is so bad to "Chip" on in here. Garrett's team plays with poise and the Eagles wet the bed.

The Eagles display a lot of poor tendencies, and I think Chip is going to have to reassess how he manages some things. We are already see him starting to change his approach to not milking the clock when necessary.

With that said, I think he still needs to be credited for building a playoff contender on a team that is rotating through quarterbacks each season. He went from Vick to Foles last year, and Foles to Sanchez this year. No disrespect to our coaches or any other team's staff, but how many teams win 9 games annually with that garbage bin of quarterbacks?

Everyone was singing Foles' praises after his one great season. Everyone was singing Sanchez' praises after his start. They both regressed.
