I have watched Philly play and I'll say this. They are way over rated! I am being as unbiased as possible about this. If I were a Philly fan (must..resist..urge..to kill one self!) I'd be particularly worried again this year. They are certainly the best team in the NFC no doubt but they have been the last few years and that hasn't exactly payed the dividends one would expect. While their offense is clicking with TO and McNabb this is offset by the fact that their defense has been basically average. Their good record is result of an enormously weak conference and the much needed luck every good team seems to generate for itself. I believe they are good and probably even better than they have been but I don't think they are far better than they have been. This is a team of choke artists plain and simple. Their WR corp is weak outside of TO and the backfield is just OK. No dominate runner. Don't even get me started on the abilities of McNabb! He is just not as good as everyone thinks. If any team schemes correctly to shut TO down then Philly becomes merely a good team. Good teams lose a lot of games and Philly has been a good team losing 3 straight NFC championships.
I am convinced they are headed for another tragic defeat to the hands of a lesser team when it counts and that will be MY Superbowl this year just as it has been the last 3. Just like I tell my step-brother "I like watching the Eagles lose ALMOST as much as watching the Redksins win"
