Sunday Worst

A Gruesome Loss Signals a Depressing Direction for the Birds

THE EAGLES didn't so much as pass the NFC East baton to the Cowboys last night as they did allow the 'Boys to rip it mercilessly from their hands and use it to beat their skulls in. In front of a national television audience, Dallas embarrassed the Birds, beating them on both sides of the ball and exposing a team that simply lacks the talent to contend. The lifeless Eagles inexplicably committed the kind of errors that just shouldn't come from a franchise that has been the class of the conference for the better part of a decade. Whether Andy Reid's dreadful week had anything to do with his team's shamefully awful performance is open to debate. What is not is that the Eagles are a team in decline, with too few weapons, too many holes, and no seeming organizational direction on how to fix it.

Although I'm no Eagles fan, it is sad to see such a team that could have taken on the Boys last year sink so low. I have a feeling it started somewhere around...yikes, Week 2 against the Giants. They completely fell apart and allowed themselves to loose hold of that 17-point lead! According over-defensive Eagles fans, "Give us a break, we were minus a few starters!"

A plausible excuse? Or just grasping at straws?

Grasping at straws, I think. They just look awfully clueless these days.
