| This is the Eagles team most Philadelphia football fans expected to see from the start of the season. On Sunday night the Birds ran a stampede over the top ranked Dallas defense on their way to a 34 to 7 blowout. Just a few weeks ago, many fans were convinced Andy Reid would be run out of town after the team's slow start.

What about the Eagles? In the pre-season they picked up some of the best free agents in football. Some fans even labeled it a Dream Team. However the Eagles results so far are nothing to dream about. Putting good, high paid players together on the roster does not guarantee success. If it was that easy,... Read More |
