Could it be that maybe they just aren't that good? McNabb has been a .500 QB since 2004, and their lack of a running game despite having Brian friggin Westbrook is just despicable.
How about in the tie with Cincy, they threw the ball 58 times and Westbrook only got 14 touches? WTF??? Or how about the fact that in the 2nd half of that game they failed to convert three different 3rd and 1s on three incomplete PASSES? The playcalling stinks, the coaching is bad right now, and the fans are worse. This team is in the gutter and I love it.

I highlighted the best line I've come across in this entire thread. The Eagles are what their record says they are - a .500 team since the 2004 Super Bowl that has been living on their prior reputation. For whatever reason, the media overrates them EVERY year since then, and they flat out just aren't that good.
