In a year filled with premature championship celebrations, a back up QB labeling the team as a "dream team", and Andy Reid putting on at least 20 more pounds, the Eagles once again disappoint us when we thought they couldn't disappoint us anymore.
However, there is an upside to this miserable year. The Eagles decided to finally become a team, and Juan Castillo found out that coaching an offensive line was a lot different from coaching a very defense. Eagles fans have much to look forward to next year:
-The young line backing core started to show signs that they don't actually suck that much
-We also have what seems to be one of the most dominant pass-rushing defensive lines in the NFL in led by Cole and Babin
-Possibly the next Barry Sanders in McCoy (I know that's a stretch).
-The offensive line seemed to gel towards the end of year and, much like the linebackers, didn't seem to suck that bad
-Vick did well in the last couple games of the season and (if he stays healthy) he could become the 2010 Vick once again next season
-Last but not least, the cornerbacks had an OK season. Nnamdi showed that he was human, but is still pretty close to a shutdown corner, DRC struggled early but seemed to be pick up his performance toward the end of the season, and Asante (who might possibly be traded for draft picks in the upcoming draft) wasn't a turnover machine like he usually was but I don't expect that to be the case next season.
By the way, does anyone actually miss this guy?
