God hates the Eagles

There it is, I said it. This team is 3 mindnumbingly stupid penalties away from being 7-0, yet they are 4-3. In each loss, despite many mistakes, the Birds were winning with very little time left. Enter the brain cramp. A kick to an opponent, 12 men on the field, a kick to an official's flag...and the other team is given a gift to put them in scoring position.

There are mental midgets calling for Andy Reid's head, and others swearing that Donovan cannot play. The truth is that Reid is the best coach we have had since the early 60's, and DMac is one of the top 3 quarterbacks in the league. The best? No. Pretty f'n good? Hell yeah.

All we can do is go forward, and enjoy the ride. There still hasn't been a SuperBowl winner here, but we've been treated to some of the best football I've seen in this town in a long time. Let the cockroach Cowboys crow about yesteryear...they just come off sounding like Al Bundy, hanging desperately to the memories of days gone by, and pretending that their past is relevant to the present.

The myth of America's Team lives on, and our boys are 4-3. There is only one possible reason why. God hates the Eagles.
