Another Painful Day



The look of every Eagles fan right now.

The Eagles blew it, again. Another heartbreaking loss as Philly fell to the Bears 30-24...and people wonder why we are the way we are. I think you'd be irate too if your team always found new ways to lose. This is a never-ending saga.

Seriously.

Sure, the Eagles had turnovers, but so did the Bears. Other than the turnovers, I feel as if we played well. There was more zone coverage by the Eagles than I would have liked to seen, but otherwise the coaching staff did their job right.

It's just disheartening. This team IS good, I promise you that. We've just lost close games to elite teams. Games that we should have one. Almost every single one of those games we blew a fourth quarter lead.

In the words of Kanye West, "Welcome to Heartbreak".

The Eagles will be back, either later this year, or next year. What everybody should expect is for us Eagles fans to be fired up, and filled with even more hate. Just because everyone is hating on us. People that don't know us, don't understand us, or how much this team means to us. We live and die with this team.

All we can do is just tough it out, and wait for it to be our turn again. 

Patriots Don't Help Eagles

The Eagles needed the Giants to lose. Badly. Unfortunately, the Giants edged out the Patriots. The Eagles will be either two or three games back from first depending on tonight's game.

The game was scoreless in the first half. Then the scoring started. The Pats scored with 1:36 left in the game. I'm not gonna lie, I thought for sure the game was over when they scored.

But, as fate would have it, the Giants put the final score with 15 seconds left.

Gee, thanks Patriots.

Jason Avant...I Love You

Jason Avant is getting this team fired up. He said to reporters that the team didn't want any bandwagon fans. This makes me so proud. I'm sick of listening to the media bash us one week, and then praise us the next.

Leave us; we don't want you.

We die-hard fans are sick of all the wanna-be fans treading on our turf. We stick with our team no matter what. It's basically a religion, and for someone to come in and try to say they've always been a "fan" is sickening.

Some people are angry about his comments. Why? He said nothing wrong. He just offended people who are fair-weather followers. There is nothing that frustrates me more as far as fans go.

So I say "thank you" to Jason Avant for letting the Bandwagons fans know that we just don't want them.

Bears vs Eagles Preview

The Eagles look to improve to 4-4 on Monday Night Football. You should be expecting an exciting game. Ultimately, I think this game will come down to turnovers. Whoever coughs up the ball the most will lose this game. Chances are, this will be a sloppy game as well. Both teams have good defenses and a great pass-rush. The Eagles secondary is better, but the Bears' linebackers are far superior to the Eagles'.

The Eagles are ahead of the Bears in every category except rush yards allowed per game. However, the Bears are allowing 108 rush yards a game. I like that matchup against LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick, especially since the Eagles are averaging 180 rush yards per game. That's first in the league.

The Bears are also allowing 380 yards per game and 21 points per game. Meanwhile, the Eagles are averaging 449 yards per game, and 25 points per game (Thanks, ESPN.)

With all this being taken into consideration, the Eagles are the clear favorites to win this game. But Eagles fans shouldn't feel overly confident about this game. Chi-town is a tough team, and, much like the Eagles, are looking for a big win to stay alive. Da Bears have one more win than the Eagles this season.

Let's just hope the Eagles want the win more.

Dallas Beatdown

Michael Vick led the Eagles to Vick-tory.

Victory tastes sweet. But it tastes even sweeter when it's against the Cowboys. It was pure domination for the Eagles, winning 34-7. The only falter was a big touchdown pass in the fourth quarter from Romo to Robinson.

LeSean McCoy led the way with 185 rushing yards on 30 attempts. That's good for 6.2 yards per carry. Along with that, he had 2 rushing touchdowns. A very impressive feat considering that Dallas was going into this game as the number one rushing defense in the league. Dallas hadn't allowed a hundred-yard rusher until they faced McCoy.


Michael Vick was sharp as well. He was 21/28 with 279 yards and 2 touchdowns. His quarterback rating was 129.9, in large part due to the fact that he didn't throw an interception. Vick's biggest target of the night was Brent Celek, hooking up with him 7 times for 94 yards and a score.

Some Game Notes:
The Eagles had 31 first downs in the game. That's eight shy of tying the record.
The Eagles had ZERO turnovers in the game, something they've needed to improve on. Desperately.
We were 7-12 on third down conversions, and 1-1 on fourth downs.
The Eagles also dominated possession time 42:09-17:51.

Overall great win, but we must have a short memory in order to keep winning.

Asante Samuel...Please Stop Talking

It looks like the Eagles have another unhappy player after Asante Samuel claimed that the Eagles do not want him. The last player we had that was unhappy was T.O.

T.O. is nothing but a joke. Nobody in this world knows how funny it is to me that he is finally recognized as unsuccessful. He destroyed our locker room and ultimately our whole 2005 season. Of course, it didn't help that Donovan McNabb went down with an injury.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Asante. I just think that he needs to stop drawing attention to himself in a negative way. The last thing the Eagles need right now is a player being a distraction to the team. However, as long as the Eagles start winning games, I really don't care.

Let's just see how this affects his play.
