Well, it has been quite a while since my last post and no I didn't stop posting cause the Eagles have been quite frankly one of the worst teams in the league. I just haven't had Internet access in my new place until a couple days ago. But enough of the chitchat, here's what has been on my mind, or as Jim Rome would say..."Here's what I'm burning on."
As long as I could remember my entire family have been Philadelphia Eagles fans. Born and raised in the city of brotherly love the whole lot of us. But this Eagles team is making hard for us to admit being Birds fans proudly. Not because they're losing. Like I said we're from Philadelphia, we can handle losing. After all we have seen enough losing in our time.
It is not the fact that they're one of the worst teams in the league this year, it is the way that they're losing that bothers the hell out of me. It seems like they simply just have no heart. Now I understand that Donovan McNabb is coming back from an injury. And everyone says it takes a year to recover from that ACL injury. But last week against the Lions he threw up numbers that Peyton Manning wish he could achieve. Then a week later he can't find the end zone to save his life.
Their offensive line who last year was tops in the league seemed to be falling over like a card castle as the slightest wind blew in their direction on Sunday night. The Giants had 12 sacks on Donovan McNabb, no one allows that many sacks in the NFL anymore. Davis Carr and Drew Bledsoe think it is messed up that McNabb had to be sacked that many times.
And don't tell me that Brian Westbrook not being there had anything to do with it. And that if he were there they'd do better. Sure maybe he could have helped a little bit, but losing to the Giants, who had like the worst defense in the league until that point is sad. Winston Justice couldn't block a little league defensive linemen. Let alone Usi Umenyiora. You learn a little something Winston, in Philadelphia you can lose once in a while just don't lose like to the Giants or the Cowboys.
I don't only blame it on the offensive line and Winston Justice I blame it on the coach. Now I know that Andy Reid is going through a lot with his family issues. And I want to be sympathetic and understanding to what the coach is going through but not at the expense of my team. Now Andy has done a lot for us here in Philadelphia so don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the fat man. But if you can't handle it Andy, let it go. This way we can pick up one of the good coaches that are still out there.
Luckily for us Philadelphia sports Phans out there the Phillies took the NL east division this week. So the week wasn't an entire let down. Who'd of thought last year or even last month that the Phillies would be the NL east champions and the Eagles would start the season 1-3? So now in our hour of Eagle darkness we can look towards the Phillies to provide the light.
