Eagles Perspective After Week 10

halfempty.jpg
Sometimes a few days with little-to-no thought about a tough loss can mend some wounds. Not the case with the Eagles. I'm just as convinced today as I was on Sunday night that they're nothing more than a mediocre team with poor leadership.

After the jump I'll try to look at the schedule and figure out if the birds can find a backdoor into the playoffs and a quick exit.

11@ Cincinatti----
12@ Baltimore----
13Arizona----
14@ New York Giants----
15Cleveland----
16@ Washington----
17Dallas----


Taking a look at the schedule above, this is how I see things going from here on out:

  • Win @ Cincy (no one really cares, we hear things like "They should have won.")
  • Win @ Baltimore (people, mostly Eagles employees and players, tout this as the game that's going to turn the season around. I get excited, despite knowing better)
  • Win vs. Arizona (Andy Reid runs Westbrook about 25 times, the Eagles beat a team headed to the playoffs. I get completely pumped for the playoffs.)
  • Loss @ Giants (Akers misses a 52-yarder at the buzzer which would have won it. Reid talks about how close they are. I realize, once again, that this team is full of spineless wonders. Westbrook rushes 10 times for 15 yards)
  • Win vs. Cleveland (McNabb throws for 450 yards and 4 TDs in a blowout win. The McNabb 4 MVP campaign is started by the Eagles' PR department)
  • Loss @ Washington (Portis runs wild, Reid calls 75% passes and wonders why they lost.)
  • Win vs. Dallas (Romo and McNabb go head-to-head for a playoff berth. McNabb pukes on the field in the fourth quarter, then Romo fumbles he game away.)

10-6, they just barely get a wild card spot, and they're doomed to fail in the first round. How's that for perspective?

I'm with you on this one, Brian. If not for the Phillies this year, I'd be in a bad mood with these Birds, the Sixers and that other sport in town that no one seems interested in anymore.

So hypothetically in the Dallas game, McNabb wins by puking in the 4th quarter and Romo slips on it in the next series and fumbles the ball because of it and the Eagles win? Now that's a disgusting thought.

Did you hear Bernard Hopkins' comments on Donovan McNabb? He really questions his leadership... here's the link

Hate to say it, but B-Hop's right. The truth hurts. No one would question that McNabb has talent. What this team lacks is a leader.

B-Hop is dead on. Nothing pisses me off more about Mcnabb than his laughing and smiling with the other team after a terrible loss like he was at the end of the Giant game sunday. I know its a game and all..but this is your JOB. Guys on the defense are killing themselves trying to win ...I wonder how that makes them feel to see Mcnabb be seemingly just as happy to lose the game as when he wins the game. Mcnabb has the talent...his issue is mental. Always has been...like TO said in is book...Mcnabb chokes under pressure.
