I had high hopes for McMullen...he was the man in college...I still remember him pulling down a game winner on the last play of the game to beat Clemson some years back

I think it the arrogance of the front office. Everyone is on their nuts but in the end this team has never won a SB because they are a one dimensional team with no weapons on offense.

I agree that making the playoffs, getting to the NFC champ and SB is good. But when you have a team do those things in multiple years then you're talking about a team that should have won a big one by now. I feel like once you are a perrennial playoff team you are only successful if you win the SB. We go out and make the SB this year and lose thenI am probably relatively happy. If I am an Eagles fan by year 3 of not either not making the SB or losing and I am pissed.

Injuries at several key areas contributed some to their demise last night, but the Giants played a good game, and were all over D-Nabb.

On another note...we better put up 80+ points on the Lions this week, considering McNabb and company put up 56 with their offensive "weapons".

I also think people will be pleasantly surprised with how our defense handles the Lions high octane passing offense.

They still had Westbrook for that game, and Curtis is not a bad WR, not a #1 type, but not bad at all.

Westbrook is really the difference-maker--without him, it's very hard to get that offense going, especially with McNabb unable to run as of old and the O-line being weak.
