Sorry to pick up on a couple other points.
The Eagles have a great roster true but who have they beaten again this year two teams with winning records? What is more important who has beaten them. Do the Eagles look strong or are they flattered by the competence or lack therefore of their opponents? The last two games they have played were us and the crumbling Giants where they ran the score up late in the game in both cases.

Yes, Norv did have a chance to take us to the playoffs when he was canned but he had plentiful chances to take to the promised land before hand. He should have been canned after taking us 0-8 in 1998 and his piss poor record before that like taking us 7-1 and then crumbling missing the playoffs at 9-7. And that might have been Snyders darkest hour hell the entire 2000 season was a bad move by Snyder but he has learnt and moved on from that I cannot see why certain fans don't move on as well.

Finally the Saints had the highest payroll last year we were 6th and in 2002? We had the 22nd highest payroll with the Jets topping the official list (USA today). To go 8-19 with the player coaching and mentality changes we have been through isn't that suprising. Also the guy who contributed 5 of the wins and 11 of the losses has been run out of town well run in the fact he did the running. We still have 5 games to go this year. It is absolute fantasy to say we win all 5 but hay anything is possible and who wouldn't be happy 8-8 right now?Even 6-10 would be great hell it's an improvement.
