Aw man. That felt depressingly familiar.
I’m trying to focus on how I got to watch three more weeks of Eagles games and not on how the defense played their worst game in months and how Reid and McNabb are now 1-4 in the NFC Championship game.
(I’m actually not as bummed as I expected to be. I’ll be sure to give it time, though.)

Link Here | January 19, 2009,Strangely, I’m not as depressed as I thought I’d be either - but we lost to a quarterback who wears two gloves in the desert…two gloves… in the desert…
Perhaps I’m merely too dumbfounded and confused to be sad.

Link Here | January 19, 2009,It was a nice little unexpected run this season, but I can’t get over the 1-4.
The first half counts, you know, guys!

The Eagles had no business being in the playoffs, at all. Tied Cincy, benched McNabb en route to a horrific loss in Baltimore… and then even after everything lined up for a resurgence, they laid an egg in DC.
Only a miraculous aligning of the stars with a Tampa loss and a Houston loss did the Birds get what really was a third chance… and they took it.
The Cowboys / Minny / Giants / Cardinals string of games was extraordinarily exciting, and frankly, unexpected.
Yes, this could have been our year - I felt that way about destiny, or everything clicking… but it wasn’t. Yet, it was a tremendous offseason.

This is no longer gravy. This is crappy anti-gravy; inedible slop.
The Steelers are going to the Super Bowl and they’ll be playing the Cardinals. This could be Dawkins last chance at a title, McNabb’s last chance at redemption, and Reid’s first chance to prove he’s part of the next group of great coaches in the NFL.
