Philly is strugglin....

Question is, how bad does the record have to be before Philly throws in the towel for this year and puts Kolb in to give him that "game-time experience" to carry to next season.

You gotta think 3 or 4 more losses and the McNabb era could come to an abrupt close.

I think this will be Reid's last year. If he's not fired, he'll step aside to deal with his personal family issues.

This thread remines me of the post going on about the Giants before they beat us.

how come when the skins sign big free agents, and they suck, its news. but when the eagles do it, not a word? Kearse and Howard have alot of money tied up in the eagles cap, and both suck. but no one says anything? why do their front office get a free pass?

Well, on the whole, the Eagles make really, really good value out of their dollar, so they are left with all this money left over to spend on guys who have one skill they need greatly, but are highly overvalued. So you get Kearse and Howard.

Neither is really helping them though.

If the Eagles want to get better on offense, they are going to have to improve the QB position. I think that's why they drafted Kolb. Donovan can go deep in the playoffs if you give him an elite defense, but I really think he's holding his offense back right now.

Maybe by looking back over the past 5 years and the difference in the teams winning records.

Because this is the first year Philly isn't dominating the division in, like, a hundred billion years.

If we could just dominate for 1 or 2 years I'll shut the hell up for at least a decade.

Yeah, give me a break... statistically, Philly's so-called "dominance" was nothing more than a blip on the radar during some dark years for the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins. IIRC, their lifetime W-L in the division is only slightly better than what the Cards' was when they were in the division.

Philadelphia always returns to a default state of mediocre-bad because it's what the evil, trashy fans there deserve. It's football karma!

Letting the Bears drive 97 yds in 1:00 is bad and as much as I can't stand Philly , I was very happy! LMAO! ......but on another note...immediately after I read your post...I thought how ironic and close what you wrote could have easily been written for us had Neil Racker's field goal gone in :o(

Smooter · 10-22-2007, 06:43 PM

My point is why beat them down when we could easily be in their shoes?

GTripp0012 · 10-23-2007, 01:48 AM

Philly started pretty bad in 2003 also, and then got a few fluke plays and ended up winning a bunch of games.

If Westbrook stays healthy, that team will be around at the end of the year. I doubt they can jump three teams though. They didn't have a whole lot of divisional competition back in 2003.

true, and in 2003 they had better recievers, and a healthy capable mcnabb.

i also heard a rumor Dawkins may be out for the season from that hit delivered by Yoder... is there any truth to this?

Nothing to do with football, but It seems they have the ugliest people too.
