Is anyone else enjoying the Eagles implosion?

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I actually respect Reid and McNabb and believe that Philly fans are clamoring for the ouster of two of their best assets. The trouble in Philly runs far deeper than those two. Their two offensive tackles are as old as dirt, their right guard has serious psychological problems, and they have NO weapons outside of BW. McNabb has been awful lately, but I'm don't think he's the main problem in Philly and if Philly fans think Kolb is going to bail them out they are delusional.

But, to answer your question, I'm loving it.

I think McNabb has been over-rated his entire career. He ahs always been an inaccurate bad decision QB. He used to make up for it with great athleticism but now either he is too stubborn to rely on his legs or simply can't.

I think the organizational problem is one that we may see in NE soon. They were one of those teams who were supposedly so much smarter than everyone else. Whatever move they did was "brilliant". But if you look at their personell handling a lot of their moves OTHER TEAMS got railed on for handling in the same way. They threw players under the bus consistently, low-balled their good players, fooled them into "taking one for the team" money wise. But what happened was no OUTSIDE players ever really wanted to go there. They were stuck with hoping they could draft well and hoping to be able to keep those guys. I don't think Free Agency is the total answer but you do have to be able to utilize it and they basically never did. Now their drafting has been suspect and their team is old and they suck more by the game.

I think if you look at DM's numbers you'd see that he has one of the lowest or the lowest INT % of all time. So he knows where to got with the football. I just think it's time for him to move on to a place where he has a running game. I think he makes Minn. a MUCH better team in 09.

I'll enjoy their meltdown a whole lot more if we can defeat them on Dec.21st.

I'm actually kind of pissed at the eagles because I take pride in the fact that the Skins play in the toughest division in football. With the eagles struggling people are starting to talk like the NFC south is a tougher division than the east.

I LOVE the Eagles implosion. Ever since they lost the Super Bowl in 2004, every year we get to hear how they're the best .500 team in football, or the best non-playoff team in football, rah rah rah. 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.
