Grounding the Eagles (Fans)

[dcjules]

After watching last nights game, it dawned on me that rosy picture of an emerging team isnt all that great!! Hear me out...This team, our division rival, with their "new wave" offense that will change the league is struggling to beat a team decimated by injury, getting held in check for the most part by "dudes off the street"!! A week 17 battle to get to the playoffs....Check out other factors.....healthiest team in league, the fact that Foles will never play any better, facing last place schedule and a truckload of lady luck (Tolzien, No APete, bounce after bounce) ...give credit to them that they are in the playoffs, but I say hold on, alot has happened to get there...as oppose to just the opposite for Dallas, what goes wrong can go wrong....yet we are right there 2 minutes away...

Made me feel better believing that...

Yeah. I'm in Oregon and they all on Chip Kelly's jock here so I'm having to listen to it from all the first year fans too...

Don't forget how much luck they've had missing Aaron Rodgers, AP, Romo, etc. I'm surprised Brees wasn't injured yesterday. They will never win it all.

Cheering as Irvin layed on their turf motionless is unforgivable. I hate that team! I think more than any other team....

Don't forget Reggie Bush and his before the game injury.
The Eagles are fools gold.

Well they are the youngest team in our division in the first year of a rebuild with new offense, defense, and quarterback whose 24. I'd say the future is very promising for them. For us it looks more bleak, and quite honestly I don't even want to think about them, I'm more concerned with us and our future.

Thats my point, credit given....10-6 and playoff bound...BUT, with all of those factors, tremendous LUCK, amazing health and a Napoleon Dynamite QB playing at a ultimate high level, they battle to the end a team with the likes of Cory Irvin, Frank Kearse, Jeff Heath, Jarious Wynn, Nick Hayden etc.... Its like the just beat the Home Depot Flag Football team.... I just advise enjoy the ride why you can, your ceiling has been reached!!!

Good one. Our D line is akin to a last preseason game where you put in the guys you want to see about keeping, not necessarily winning the game.

Don't forget that they didn't win the NFC East while Dallas has done it three years in a row! Oh, wait, that's right, they did win the NFC East and our team is still the perennial oft-injured Bridesmaid. I guess we can all feel better about Philly when it's the Giants turn to beat Dallas next year while the Eagles finish third. I know Jerry and his cash-flow will!

I think Foles shows his down side next year just like Griffin III. The other teams will adjust to him and he will end up a little above average QlB.
