Yeah, we’ve had some ugly years recently. (ok, not that ugly, but not as good as that)

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

this has to be the toughest 7-4 start ever.

by TheDtrain on Nov 30, 2009 12:59 PM EST reply actions

toughest?

Our schedule has been mostly cake.
Name a good team that we’ve played… Only four have winning records and we’ve lost to three of them. The other being the giants and they have fallen apart.
I stand dissapointed at 7-4.

I meant in terms of emotional roller coaster of a ride

Strictly as a fan its been tough. Just to clarify

Should be 8-3....

Should be 10-1

I will give the Saints their win. We could of beat (should of beat) Oakland, Dallas and San Diego on a good day. Unfortunately, they weren’t good days.

At least

Definitely should’ve beaten Dallas and Oakland, as they were the better teams. But not on those nights.

I’ll give ’em the Saints (no McNabb) and Chargers.

Not even with McNabb...

could the Eagles have won that game. If we had known the Saints were going to be this good, nobody would have predicted an Eagles win.

Kolb actually did pretty well in that game, IIRC.

Kolb had some

HUGE turn overs though, but I do think we lose that game no matter what the saints were killing us all over the field that day.

Let's get it Birds.

Come on

It was 17-13 at the half. Even with the fumble that led to a TD, it was still within reach until the Kolb interception. Kolb played well, but it was his first game. I think McNabb would’ve helped. Would they have won? I don’t know, but they would’ve had a much better chance.

give the guy a break

hobbs fumbled=touchdown. kolb int= touchdown. If the D holds the saints offense to a field goal either of the two times the game remains just 2 scores. The D got owned that game, plain and simple. The seeming need to blame the QB (regardless of who it is) for each loss is unfounded. Was Kolb’s INT at the start of the third bad? Sure. But when the defense allows 41 points, you should not expect a win, regardless of who the QB is. Even if you take away the 7 from the Kolb INT, you still should not expect to win giving up 34. That’s too many points. The saint’s Offense is ridiculous, but the blame should still lie mostly on the defensive side of the ball for NEVER getting a stop.

Actually...

21 points came from 3 turnovers. 2 Kolb INT TDs and Hobbs fumble. So the defense really gave up just 27 points which is very good considering how God-like the Saints offense is. I will bet my bottom dollar Donovan does not throw those picks and keeps us in the game.

Out of the four losses, only one of the games was lost more than 1 score and that was the Saints game. I really like Kolb but until he improves his vision, I will hold my breath every time he passes the ball against good defenses.

Andy Reid is 43-5 when running the ball at least 30 times in a game( Ray Diddy on Eagles Post Game Live after Bears Victory)
