Right now, we're where none of us wanted to be with respect to the 2007 Eagles Season. We're totally 100% irrelevant in the grand scheme of the NFL season. We now know what Arizona Cardinals fans have felt like over the better part of two decades.
Unless this team goes on a highly unlikely 6-2 run over the 2nd half the season, the playoffs are pretty much an impossibility. Basically, that leaves us with a half season of Fox games which will be called by their fifth string broadcast team of Ron Pitts, Tony Boselli, and Kevin McCabe. I'm pretty sure we will also be up to our ears in Daytona 500 commercials starting in week 11. Fox Sports....Feel the Excitement!
Anyhow, today's Eagles/Skins game has the classic Godfather III feel. (You know what I'm talking about):
We have all written this team off after last week, but I have a sneaky suspicion the Birds will pull an upset and get the Joe's from Fishtown and Captain Tullio's of the world back on the bandwagon for at least another couple weeks with a matchup against the winless Dolphins on the horizon for next week.
Don't ask me how the Birds can win this game X's and O's wise as I see plenty of impediments for the Birds moving the ball, but I'm sure our genius coaching staff learned something from that inept Monday night performance back in Week 2. Plus, I believe the loss of Considine is worth at least 3 points in the Birds favor.
For what it is worth, I see a 16-13 Eagles victory. Plus, Hank Goldberg of ESPN just picked them. I feel so much better about my pick now.
Enjoy your Sunday. I feel a victory in the air.

The QB played well enough to silence most doubters. Bigger problem is a defense that can't stop anyone right now. But for a late fumble by a backup running back b/c the starter was killing us, we're 3-6. There's no pressure, the LB's are avg. and the secondary is getting picked apart. The special teams stink too.
Sooo, our field position sucks b/c we can't return a kickoff past the 22 yd. line. Our defense can't stop anyone and if they do, our field position is awful b/c they are punting form the 50. On offense we dink and dunk the entire length of the field until a badly thrown deep ball to the best #4 receiver in the NFL Reggie Brown, and a screen to our only weapon in Brian Westbrook.
Fortunately the 0-9 Fish are coming to town so we should get to 5-5. Then reality will hit us in the face when we travel to New England. Atleast we should have some left over turkey sandwiches to ease the pain.
oh yeah i forgot to add. the Cowboys remind me of our SB team from a few years ago. Their O is explosive as hell. The D bends but doesn't break and except from 1 ass whopping and a miracle win they look much the best in the NFC. Thankfully, they have no shot to win anything considering there's 4 AFC teams that spank them in the big game. It is annyoing to admit they've passed us by leaps and bounds in the NFC. They play for home field throughout the playoffs on Turkey Day against the Pack. I hate everyting South of Oklahoma.
