What are you smoking?

I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the things that have gone on throughout the season, including the preseason and training camp as well. If I was to tell you back in March of 2009 that any one of these things would happen, and we would still have a 7-4 record and a chance to make the playoffs, you would have looked at me crazy and ask "What the hell are you smoking?" So imagine we are all writing on a post back in april and I mentioned these next few points.

-Eagles lose Brian Dawkins in Free agency, who then goes on to help lead the Denver Broncos to a 6-0 start. "What the hell are you smoking?!"

-Eagles sign Stacy Andrews to make the Great Wall of Andrews and assist in helping Shawn through his bout with depression, but we would later lose Shawn to another back injury and Stacy wouldn’t perform to the high standard we set for him. We then replace Shawn with Winston "Osi's turnstile" Justice who will actually perform rather well and get signed to an extension. "What the hell are you smoking?!"

-We will lose Stewart Bradley to a stupid promotional event that was pretty much a glorified practice that you had to pay for.  We try and replace him with Joe Mays who underperforms so we trade for a player from the Rams, that’s right the 2-14 St. Louis Rams. "What the hell are you smoking?!"

-Brian Westbrook, easily the best player on the team, sustains not one but two concussions, and along with other injuries, sideline him from most of the 2009 season and our coach finally decides he wants to use a running game.  And we still only lose 4 games so far.  "What the hell are you smoking?!"

T-he Eagles draft a TE in the 5th round of the draft who later sustains a season ending ACL tear in training camp leaving us with Brent Celek, the same Brent Celek most thought would only be good enough to be our 2nd TE coming into the 2009 season.  Brent Celek has the 5th most yds of all TE right now, beating a guy some of you might have heard of, Jason Witten.  "What the hell are you smoking?!"

-Donovan McNabb and the Eagles demolish the 2nd seeded Panthers but McNabb sustains a rib injury sidelining him 2 straight games.  Kevin Kolb will become the first QB in the history of the NFL to throw for over 300 yds in his first 2 starts.  "What the hell are you smoking?!"

-The Eagles would sign Michael Vick to a 2-year deal.  At first his arrival would be protested by few and talked about by many, but his play will not reflective of his MVP play that made him the highest paid player in the league at one time.  "What the hell are you smoking?!"

-And finally, much to the surprise of many on this site, Jack is not better than Asante as he is cut halfway through the season, even after season ending injuries to Ellis Hobbs and a 4 game suspension of Joselio Hanson. "What the hell are you smoking?!"

Obviously that last one was sarcastic, but I think everyone gets my point.  If I mentioned any of these scenarios back in March, no one would believe we would have a 7-4 record and currently have a Wild Card spot. If I missed any important ones, let me know.
