There’s just no excuse for that performance. I’m sick to my stomach. It was just another game in Philadelphia. We clearly beat ourselves again, because Carolina’s offense really didn’t do anything. We couldn’t even manage to get the ball into the end zone. No pressure on Delhomme, too many missed tackles, dropped balls by everyone, turnover after turnover after turnover. It was quite obvious that Westbrook’s absence was more devastating than anything that could have happened this season. The team out there was just a team who didn’t want to win a ballgame. After we lost to St. Louis, we picked up help in the secondary because that’s what we needed. Maybe this year they’ll finally pick up a receiver since that’s the reason we struggled all year, and that’s why we lost this game. I’m not gonna sleep good tonight. I’m not gonna sleep good for a long time.
But at least we’ve been able to make it this far for so long. Yeah, it hurts more than possibly anything, but it would still suck if your team ended the season at 4-12; or how about 6-10 in that oh so high powered AFC North. I know next year I’ll still be an Eagles fan. I’m not gonna go switching sides just trying to find a winner to boost whatever lack of a team I have. And I know when next season rolls around, I’ll know that once again I’ll have a team in contention, a team that can, and will eventually, win. If you remember, it was miraculous that we even made it this far, coming back from being 0-2, to making it to the NFC Championship. For 3 years now, we’ve gotten a chance to root for our team and feel the excitement up til this point. We didn’t have to all of a sudden become a Tampa Bay fan, or a Carolina fan, or even a Green Bay Packers fan, just because “I’ve always been a fan of Brett Favre”. Bullshit. And what gets to me more is sure, you could have hopped on to the bandwagon early in the season for Tampa Bay, but Carolina? Come on. No one gave two shits about them until today. That’s just called being an asshole. Not being a fan. I mean come on, have some dignity.
Hey, tomorrow’s just another day.
I’m currently watching: Eagles vs. Panthers
