As a lifelong Eagles fan, I'm right there with you on being disappointed every season. This one is stinging the most, but I'm still holding hope that yesterday's victory over the LOLskins is the turning point where they get their heads out of their ass, remember how to tackle, and play like the football team their roster indicates they should be.
What I love is players like LeSean McCoy. McCoy had a breakout game yesterday. He had 28 carries for 126 rushing yards. This is kid who went to high school at Bishop McDevitt in Harrisburg, PA. Went to college at University of Pittsburgh, then drafted by the Eagles. McCoy has already spoken in regards to upcoming contract negotions, saying that he's not worried, it will work out because he's not playing anywhere else. Philly is his home, and that's where he's going to play. That's a kid who is loyal to his team. I remember years ago, when Reggie White said the Eagles were his team, and football was never about the money. Then he left for Green Bay. So it's really great to see someone who isn't all about the money be successful. And I have no doubt that the Eagles will give him all the money he deserves (they're masters at managing the salary cap).
