Jeff(NY Giants Jeff), you're a bit wrong...the Eagles COULD HAVE improved and the front office chose not to. They could have spent the $$$ on a big name receiver when the team was in their prime and took the easy way out by sticking with a few stiffs. It was only until they spent the money on TO they finally realized they NEEDED a big receiver. Unfortunately it blew up in their face because Owens is/was a nut job. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "IF" they had a big name receiver when McNabb was in his prime I honestly think they would have taken a few of those rings from the Pats. They had the defense, they had the running backs(even though Reid's play calling was junk). Obviously I have no proof and anything to base that statement on, just a feeling.

In a way both of you guys are right...the ultimate goal is to win it all and as a Philly fan it's torture every year(thank God for the Phillies right now). We need championships here. BUT, on the flipside, it's nice knowing our teams will be in the hunt year in and year out(aside from the Sixers but who cares about them...). The Eagles did show what consistency is and showed how to keep a nucleus together to be a contender each and ever year...unfortunately they got too conservative with their $ and weren't willing to spend that extra cash to get them over the hump.

Sure, people can blame McNabb and call him a choke artist and how horrible he is and blah blah blah...and while some of that is true he still had no weapons, he still carried this team on his shoulder every freakin' year and the idiot, know-nothing fans in this city can't/won't realize that. It's funny, people will rip on McNabb but fail to rip on Reid for his atrocious play-calling or his clock management. People will point out McNabb's faults yet give Reid a pass on his unwillingness to change his game plan on the fly. Sorry I'm just going on a rant...McNabb does deserve a lot of criticism but the entire situation doesn't rest on his shoulders, it shouldn't rest on his shoulders...but when this city gets something in their head they're out for blood no matter what.
