Or eerie…
Or whatever you want to call the place the Eagles currently occupy…
It isn’t the wilderness – they are far from uncompetitive; it isn’t the top of the NFC East – that spot’s occupied by the Cowboys; it isn’t even a building site – they have a perfect blend of youth and experience and have a great chemistry in the team.
They are Wild Cards in every sense of the word. They are explosive, aggressive and talented, but prone to weeks of utter tripe. Kolb is immensely gifted and his young receivers are devastatingly good at what they do. Can they get out of the regular season still standing, though? I think they will struggle unless they can top the Cowboys. I see both the Packers and Vikings hanging around deep into January and the Falcons look good to me for the second WC spot, but that’s the one the Eagles should focus on steeling from the Georgians.
And if any team can do it, a team coached by Andy Reid, who of all active NFC coaches has compiled the best win percentage (Belichick of the NE Patriots owns the overall league record), and boast a 10-8 playoff record. He’s used to success in the winter, but this one could be yet another of discontent should the Eagles’ rivals step-up their game as predicted.
Probable outcome? On the outside looking in…next year will be theirs…
