Is anyone else enjoying the Eagles implosion?

I don't dislike Philly the way I dislike Dallas. Philly fans are obnoxious, but the team is actually palatable for me.

It would have been much more satisfying for the Skins to ruin the Cowboys season two weeks ago, but when do we ever slam the door on a rival's season when they're down? We let the Eagles back in the playoff hunt last season when we couldn't take care of business at home, and we could have buried the Giants to 0-3 last year and blew a 17-3 halftime lead AT HOME. I'm more concerned about the Skins taking care of their own business than taking any pleasure in Philly's demise.

I agree!!! The Skins always give other teams new life (very strange). We need to TCB and beat the Giants this weekend.

So much for Philly's demise. When all hell appeared to break loose after their debacle in Baltimore, Andy Reid was a steady hand, and they've had back to back impressive wins against teams that clinched division championships with 3 games left (Arizona & @NY). Gibbs was also a steady hand in turbulent times - it remains to be seen whether Zorn has that talent as a head coach. The Skins got help with Dallas and Atlanta losing, yet did nothing to take care of their own business.
