NFL football is very much a watered-down product these days. The gap between 11-5 and 5-11 is narrower than ever, but the sea of teams between those records is massive, year in and year out. This isn’t parity; it’s inconsistent, at times unwatchable football. Three ways to help fix this:
Didinger's Season Review: Birds' Losses Not a Shock
The Eagles will tell you this was a very good season. Donovan McNabb took it a step farther, saying it was a great season. No, it wasn’t.
Roseman expected to fill Heckert's role with Eagles | Philadelphia Daily News | 01/12/2010
Heckert's departure is a tad mysterious, in that the Eagles once went to great lengths to retain him, but did not offer to extend his contract this time. It would have expired after the 2010 season. Heckert is being hired by Reid's old Green Bay mentor.

well no shit
You might recall that our quarterback, Donovan McNabb, vomited in the fourth quarter, and one of our wide receivers, Terrell Owens, accused him of being out of shape. He said McNabb had been going out and drinking and that’s why he threw up at the end of the game. But that wasn’t the first time Donovan thew up that season He’s always had a bit of a nerve problem, and you wouldn’t expect that out of a guy who is in the spotlight like he is. When it got tough, you might hear him in the bathroom throwing up. He kept a bottle of Malox in his locker.
I absolutely decline to offer my opinion on or read any posts about the McNabb v. Kolb debacle. Those posts never end and I choose to sit back and wait to see what happens. This is going to be a long offseason.
It's another one of his faults
In big games he gets so nervous and it shows in the pocket. Even when he’s not pressured he seems to rush his throws which inevitably affects his accuracy. It’s crazy because in a small game against a weaker opponent he’s calm, poised and makes huge plays. It’s night and day
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I don't know
He looked pretty good against the Giants and VIkings last year, and the Falcons and Vikings in 04.

This is the year
I agree
he played well enough to win those past two games. but he wasn’t lights out either. our defense was the reason why we were so successful. when our defense didnt play as wel in th cg the offense wasn’t good enough to cover
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Didinger
Not a popular opinion and I would have loved a super bowl this year, but with all the injuries suffered on both sides of the ball I think the eagles did have a good season. The cowboys just had their number just like the giants had the cowboys number. Healthy and a couple of additions this team will be ready for one more crack at it with mcnabb around. At least that is how I feel.

I think they had a better season than last year. I realize losing to Dallas in the first round sucks, but I’d say the Cowboys are better than the Vikings and Giants teams the Eagles beat in the playoffs last year.
Disagree
We had a top 3 defense last year — most likely #2 depending on who you ask. When you have a top 3 defense you can beat anybody. Even though our defense got killed in the NFC CG, our offense only played well for 2.5 quarters. The game could’ve went either way, but when you fail to beat one winning team — thats ultimately a crappy season.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
If it weren’t for an upset by the Raiders, last year’s top 3 defense would have been sitting at home. You’re damn lucky when 9-6-1 gets you into the playoffs.
Yeah well
Again… Inconsistent offenses will earn you that record with a top defense. I don’t know how you can have an inconsistent offense with our fire power.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
No
Its an okay season. A crappy season is 5-11.
The defense really let this team down. Not the QB.

The700Level Breakdown..
That’s an excellent breakdown of the Eagles drives. If it was here I’d rec it. But it’s not so I will instead say: All should jump the link for a good read.
keep mcnabb
philly loves a loser… the eagles need the worst qb in the league (and the dumbest)… he’s the perfect qb for this god forsaken mismanaged poorly coached team… ask yourselves, eagles fans? aren’t we blessed to have a qb who leads the league in balls batted down at the line… passes in the dirt… aren’t we just blessed to have a qb who can’t run a hurry up (or any other offense)? who can’t count to three (time outs)… ooops… that was reid… who doesn’t know a game can end in a tie??? who holds love- ins with opposing players… makes phone calls from the sideleines… throws his teammates under the bus and then weedles his way around…like i say… keep mcnabb and enjoy the agony…

Can’t wait for the day when this team is his.

Theres so much luck involved, that yes, I do think that Don is good enough to win a SB. I mean, Trent friggin Dilfer did it, I dont think theres much debate about who the better QB is of the two.

FOR THE WIN!
I'd rather be an Eagles fan till the day i die and go 0-16 every year than be a cockroach cowboys fan
Uhh, he played in 2 games, and wasnt overly great against the only REAL team he played against.
Im really not sure why everyone is loving him all of a sudden. He had good stats in terms of passing yards, but one game was a shootout and the other game was against the Chiefs.
