There were more than a few teams that were devastated by injuries this year, and some of them managed to keep from imploding. The Eagles were in trouble for more reasons than just injuries. They also got bit by a snake that they knew was a snake when they picked it up.
That's not entirely fair. The Eagles finished the season with 12 players -- many of them starters -- on IR, plus the whole getting-rid-of-T.O. thing.
They'll be back next year.
In the immortal words of Bill Parcells: You are what your record says you are. There were nine teams better than the Eagles this year.
And next year's a different subject.
I'd go on Oprah, but Oprah can't HANDLE the truth! And also doesn't know or care who I am.
Sportswriters who confess their transgressions.
On the next Oprah Winfrey Show!
"If I'd looked a little harder, I could have found nine teams in the conference better than the Eagles, three of which were in the NFC East, where the Eagles finished in the cellar."
That's not entirely fair. The Eagles finished the season with 12 players -- many of them starters -- on IR, plus the whole getting-rid-of-T.O. thing.
They'll be back next year.
Did I really write that? It's too early in the morning. Well at least the Panthers actually made the championship game, unlike the Eagles.
While SI's Dr. Z did correctly pick the Panthers to win the NFC, he also ranked the Bears dead last in the league, below even the unholy trinity of Arizona, Detroit, and New Orleans. And he's actually supposed to know what he's talking about.
