Eagles End Season

Well what a rollercoaster ride the Eagles had this year. Starting with a total domination of the Rams the Eagles showed they would be a force to contend with The feeling of a great season ended with a devastating loss to the rival Cowboys in week two. Week three brought sweet revenge though. What was supposed to be a close game turned into a blowout for the Eagles over the Super Bowl bound Steelers. The Defense played the most complete game I've ever seen them play.

A few up and down weeks came and wenk. We had some quality wins, but bitter losses. No team actually beat the Eagles until the Ravens did in week 12. The Eagles beat themselves with turnovers and inconsistency on the offense. The defense played welll most of the season.

That week 12 loss to the Ravens looked like te end of the season. But the Eagles rebounded and won all but one of their remaining games. The biggest one being a total dismantling of the Cowboys. That win put them in the playoffs, where they went on the road to eat the Vikings and Giants. Then a close game in Arizona ended the season.

There is one thing we need most next year. CONSISTENCY! The Eagles have the talent, they just need consistency. Free Agency will be coming up soon. There are some players the Eagles could acquire to be more competitive. The draft will also yield some talent. With three picks in the top 53, the Eagles should be able to take some players that fit into the mold of this team.

Looking back, there are some games I would love to se the Eagles replay. Both games against Washington were winnable. But inconsistency and poor playcalling led to two defeats. The Bengals tie should have been a win. But the way the offense played, I was just happy for the tie and not a loss. And the Bears..... two years in a row we had a heartbreaking loss. Maybe soon we will find a way to beat them.

They say there is always next year. I don't want to wait until next year. The Eagles have squandered too many opportunities over the past decade to win a Super Bowl. The time is now to win.
