Satisfied with Mediocrity?

The Eagles seem to be content with ending up at .500



The more you hear about the Eagles of late is that the organization is very happy with the team's performance in the past few games. You'd think they made the playoffs with the way they're talking.

What's more disturbing is how they're begging you to notice that Kevin Curtis had 1,000 yards this year.

Whooptee-friggin-doo! Let's throw a parade. I forgot that averaging 70 receiving yards a game was such an accomplishment.

He and 20 other receivers have over 1,000 yards on the year. And, there are seven more who could reach the great 1,000-yard plateau. And, 19 receivers reached the mark in 2006.

Wake up! It's not that big of a deal, just like a .500 record isn't a big deal. I find it disturbing how they’re going out of their way to prove that Curtis is a great signing. He’s a nice receiver, but they need more since Reggie Brown isn’t a difference maker.

Difference makers help one win in this league.

While, their team was in the top 10 in offense and defense, they were second to last in takeaways. And, they are the only team in the NFL to not have a touchdown either on defense or on special teams.

They need playmakers. And, don't give me Bob Sanders either. Sure, he's having a great year, but he also played a grand total of 10 games in 2004 and 2006. He could be another Jevon Kearse all over again. They need to draft a young play-making safety, and his name is Kenny Phillips from the U.

The Eagles are talking like this season is one big moral victory. Close against New England, a few plays go this way, and bam they're a 12-4 team.

Mediocre and bad teams lose close games for a reason. See above for proof.

They need difference makers before they can call themselves a Super Bowl contender again.

End of story.

Flyers end losing streak

Look-it’s a hockey team, a hockey team that no longer has an endless losing streak.

The Flyers took down the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 last night.

They now head on the road for a 6-game road trip starting in Tampa Bay tomorrow night.



Gulp….Good Luck!
