What success? The only thing Philly cares about is finally getting a championship again......and it's a pretty bitter pill to swallow when you come up just short for four straight years and you look at your cap situation and realize that you're 15 million under the cap. Then the "what if's" start coming into play. What if they had actually spent some of that money on getting a 2nd top-rate WR, or a better pass rushing DE opposite Kearse, or keeping Trotter the first time around, or getting a stud RB, or .....

The "what if's" are neverending because the fans all know that their owner is not doing everything he can to get over that final hump. If you lose in the super bowl, and spent every last dime you had on getting the best talent available, then you can't point the finger at the greedy owner. However, if you lose in the Super Bowl in a close game with cap room left, you can't help but wonder if that cap space could have gotten you those one or two players that could have made the difference between winning and losing.
