NFC East Title Comes Home
The title says it all. The Eagles have now won their 5th NFC East title in the last six years. Never would I have guessed that the Dallas Cowboys would be integral to making two holidays for me in the span of one week.
First, the Cowboys self destruct on Christmas, and all the cockroach Cowboy fans and Romosexuals went back into the darkness. Then, America's Team (heh) loses at home to the Detroit Lions. This loss gave the Eagles the division, and they still went out and beat the Falcons with their backups. Not bad.
The downside there is that a decent coach was fired, and a fraud of epic proportions still has a job. Vick might be a good quarterback one day. He has freakish athletic ability, and a cannon for an arm. If he ever learns how to read a defense instead of relying on his legs, Atlanta could rule the NFC with an iron fist for a few years. Until then, Vick will cost that franchise more big games than he wins.
Enough on the adversaries. I cannot believe the fundamental shift that has taken place on this Eagle team. The pass/run ratio is more balanced than it has been since the heyday of Duce Staley. On the other side of the field, the defense has stepped up. Coach Reid brought one of our former D-line coaches to break down tape, and get the troops back into form. These two simple changes happening at the same time have made all the difference. Defensively, they are stopping the run, and getting off the field. Offensively, they are running well, grinding clock, and leaving the other team on the field. If only McNabb was healthy when they figured all this out..oh well.
The Eagles are 10-6, and are hosting a playoff game. In New York, the coach is done, Tiki is retiring, and there is discontent. Washington still has Snyder for an owner...nuff said. And Dallas? That cancer known as 81 will have to be dealt with before he destroys another quarterback. Another year with T.O. and Romo might go from Jessica Simpson to O.J. Simpson.
One can hope.
