During the 2005 playoff season we lost 36-0 to the Giants. So a bounce-back is possible. Problem is, that '05 team was more talented than this one, I think.

Every now and then, a team needs to have its pants yanked down for a good fanny-paddling. They got theirs the other night, in front of millions. Maybe that'll do the trick.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I had just had the same conversation with a friend of mine at work (who is a diehard Eagles fan by the way.) I remembered the beating the Giants put on us back in that year, and the point where the team was like 5-6 before making a playoff run. Of course, there are a few things that are different but I think this team still has the talent to make some sort of a run. I just hope they have learned something from Monday night.

What this team should be doing is focusing on next year, start playing young guys and give them experience. Promote Austin, Davis, Cook, play Riley and let's see what they can provide and give them experience.

In 2005 we had Joe Gibbs as head coach also. Some coaches know how to get the most out of their players. Gibbs was great at taking what he had and working it to the best.
