For the third week in a row, the Philadelphia Eagles went into the fourth quarter of a game with a lead over their opponent. That is, until they coughed up the lead in that same quarter, for three consecutive losses! For some unknown reason, the Eagles have completely collapsed in the fourth quarter this season, leaving many of the Philly phaithful with plenty of questions, and hardly any direct answers.
So what is it that has this talented group of players on a losing streak? Some argue that the coaches aren't properly using the talent, while others argue that the talent is underachieving. Another argument is that the team is full of 'Prima Donna's' and there is too much ego on one team. Whatever the reasoning, THEY NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT, AND QUICK!
Who would have thought that backup-quarterback Vince Young's utterance of the words 'dream team' would come back to haunt the Eagles. Wasn't this the team that many of the experts picked as Superbowl favorites? The Eagles don't have to worry about the dream team label any longer, as many have already written them off as irrelevant.
Being the 'phaitful phan' that I am, I believe that if the Eagles are going to turn it around, then they need to start by defeating a surprising 3-1 Buffalo Bills team on this upcoming Sunday.
Winning is for the Birds!!!
