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!
