ESPN: Eagles seek cure for home sickness

[jobberone]

PHILADELPHIA -- Home is where the wins aren’t.

That has been the case for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have tied a franchise record with eight consecutive home losses. Their last win here came on Sept. 30 of last year, against the New York Giants.

“Has it been that long?” tight end Brent Celek said. “I didn’t realize that. That’s tough, especially for the fans. They sell out the stadium every week.”

The cure? Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.

“We’ve got to get this,” Celek said.

In fairness, the bulk of the streak has to do with former head coach Andy Reid. After the Eagles beat the Giants 19-17 at Lincoln Financial Field last season, they were 3-1. They then went on an eight-game losing streak and won only one more game, at Tampa Bay, the rest of the season.

Hope they play some man under.

 

[OhSnap]

They need it bad and are movin the ball good but I'm not sure the fast pace they like will work in their favor in this game.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I bet an embarrassing butt whoopin by Dallas would get them right going forward.

 

[Red Dragon]

I bet that the booing when the Eagles are losing creates a homefield disadvantage.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I'll be honest. This streak bugs the hell out of me.

well it's not a real streak because it's in 2 separate seasons. The media is making a big deal out of it

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Let's make it 9 in a row.

Why are you trying to minimize it? Probably because you are a eagles fan...Streak is continuous, it doesn't just stop at one season.

I am trying to minimize it because I hate the fact that it has been brought up to the eagkes players which is not good for us

Well said indeed !

 

[dallasdave]

Egirls look pretty sick to me and I love it.

I hate that their next game is the Giants at home lol

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Sounds like they need an enema

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

it's still mind boggling why they look like world beaters on the road and like POOP in front of their home fans

 

[dallasdave]

Sounds like they need an enema

When I hear the word enema I think of the steelers. I guess because after an enema what comes out is a steeler.

 

[Corso]

Time to cross the border and get some RX's from a street doctor.
What they're using now ain't working.

 

[dallasdave]

It's a PA thing the squeelers and egirls are both sick and they make me want to vomit.
