no i was basing mine on that eagles suck...you were basing it on the fact that they had turned around their whole season and that the first 5 games basically didnt happen and they were ready to go on a superbowl run

i just dont think the eagles are two or three games better than the giants over a half of a season...as i said im not overly impressed with the giants but im not impressed with an under.500 eagles team either so ill take the team who has a gigantic advantage in the standings and has already dominated the other head to head on the road

Well, I was looking at the first seven games and thinking that the Eagles should be about 5-2 if it wasn't for stupid farging brain farts against Atlanta and San Francisco.  Now I'm thinking they whole team needs to be Sanduskyed

2 problems here. 

The first one is that you can't play the "they should be this if it weren't for that" card.  If if if if if!  If my sister had a fleshpop, she'd be my brother.  They have a bad record because they are a bad team.  They are poorly coached and they execute poorly at even the most fundamental levels.  Was and Dallas were fools gold.  Denny Green said it best: "They are who we thought they were."   

The 2nd problem is that you suck at hypotheticals.  Since you're playing the "what if game" then you should go ALL IN and say they should have been 6-1 and throw the Giants game in there too.  Buffalo is the only team they trailed from soup to nuts so far this year.

Disagree.  I think Atl and San Fran are the two games that really stand out as the "How the farg did they lose" games.  Both games seemed well in hand when the defense and offense both just started farging around.  Additionally, both games had ridiculous redzone turnovers that ended up severely costing the Eagles.  After the Dallas game, it seemed like the team might have put the redzone turnovers behind them, and also gotten away from the wideeeeeee wide 9 and the stupid zone coverages.  Nope.

The Eagles lose becuase of stupid shtein, dropped passes, bad decisions, bad play calls, bad game plans, turnovers at the worst possible times. It's frustrating as hell and I feel a direct result of a coach who had outlived his time.
