We haven't won in Philly in consecutive years in 24 years!? Man, that's a long time of suck. It's been so long since we were a winning franchise -- I am honestly forgetting what it feels like.

And whenever we have the oddball year with a playoff run ('99, '05, '07, '12), I'm sucker enough to think that we've turned the corner, and will become a perennial winner. We have exactly those four winning seasons I listed in the last TWENTY years!!! We just need to face it, there is a culture of losing around here. We are essentially the St. Louis Cardinals of the old NFC East. Capable to sneak up on teams every few years, but a loser down to the core. Instead of paying Shanny, (and Gibbs 2.0, and the ole Ball Coach) millions, I really wish Snyder had thrown that money at an Ozzy Newsome to build this team the right way.
