Very lengthy synopsis on the Eagles Fritz!!!!! I thought you were a Miami Dolphins fan??? A ot of what you wrote I can agree with. I watched that game in utter disgust and actually tuned the tv off at halftime.

It seems like every year the Eagles lack a certain intangible that helps boost them toward that Superbowl win.

Over the past several years I thought it was that they did not have that explosive, big time threat that can score long TDs. But they certainly found that with Jackson and now it looks like they are missing something elsewhere??

Running the ball is important and it certainly sets up the passing game. In today's pass happy NFL a good team only needs a good running game, not a great one. A running game that can boast a 4 or 5 yd run at will so the passing game can open up. We certainly saw that this weekend with Baltimore and New York.

After watching the Cowboys and Eagles the last two weeks the 2 games almost looked the same.
The Boys' players and coaches certainly shined over the Eagles' players and staff.

Philly's defense was destroyed and the blitzs were countered with efficient, big play strikes from Romo. It looked like Philly's DC was out of sync with all of his calls. It seemed like every call he made would of worked on the play before or the play after.

OCs and DCs play a 60 minute chess match during a game. Sometimes you get on fire and pick the right defensive/offensive play that crushes the other team's respective calls. In those two games Dallas certainly had the better strategic choices.

I hate to say it but Dallas deserves much props for the way the played and the way they were coached.

I believe all games boil down to 4 equal parts. 25% Eagles players, 25% Eagles coaches, 25% Dallas players, and 25% Dallas coaches. Dallas definitely won the battle.

But with all this being said I cannot feel bad at all for the Eagles nor can I rain on their dismal parade. I am a Chiefs fan and I have not had the chance to enjoy a playoff game in some 10 years.

One thing Coach Reid and McNabb have done is given the Eagles' fans a chance at a Superbowl win. A team has to at least make the playoffs in order to go to the Superbowl. That's one step more than my beloved Chiefs have taken.

Sure, a Superbowl is nice but the Eagles have placed a very competitive, championship caliber team on the field over the last decade. Maybe one day soon they will get over the hurdle??

Til next time,

Shit on Joe Buck!!!!!
