I can remember the excitement of that opening regular season game as though it were yesterday -- but for this Eagles fan it seems as though that were a hundred years ago.
Who knew that the NFCE top team would topple from the Superbowl down to the basement! Somehow the Eagles have always managed to stay in the media; whether one of our players were being shot, the contract controversies with Corey Simon, Westbrook, and the whole T.O. mess. Not to mention the Desperate Houswives stunt, or countless injuries. If I wasn't a God fearing Eagles fan, I' almost believe we were cursed this year.
Alright, we couldn't possibly salvage a decent season this year -- it's pretty much a bust -- so all we can do is look at our stable of rookies and next year with a healthy Westbrook, Pinkstons, Buckhaulter, and several others who have Been either Injured or shot.
Normally, a team with our standing would have already faded into the woodwork. But here we are, patched-up, with rookies, and 2nd string players to include a QB who is za nice guy, but certainly Not an answer to a backup QB for D-Nabb. Here we are, back in the limelight; and as usual, not in a positive way! You all know the script!
If the Eagles win the game against the Commanders, the Cowboys make it into the playoffs as a wildcard (or whatever) ..this, being the same team fans who will not be rooting for the Eagles to win, more than they will be just hoping that the Commanders lose (the Enemy of my Enemy is still not my friend concept).
On the other hand, if the Eagles lose against the Commanders, the Cowboys basically are out of the playoffs of any kind -- just like the Eagles.
Obviously no fan has control over the outcome of this NFCE-high profile game! Even if Andy Reid was a "rollover" (of which he is Notand he is not!)kind of headcoach, Jimmy Johnson (the Defensive Coach), is not! That means if we lose, we're not interested in being in the Cowboys "good favor" most of your fans have made it perfectly clear that you hate us regardless of whether we win or lose! But retrospectively, if we lose, we didn't do it for any other reason than the Skins played a better game than the Eagles On that particulr day.
where do I stand ...this may be surprising to some of you, but not all of you ...but I say we won't lay down...Good Hunting ...or Tally-Ho!
