The Eagles ARE a Dream Team

If you play football for or are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins or New York Giants then the  Philadelphia Eagles are a dream team. In fact they are the McDreamy as far as dream teams go. You must love how dreamy the Eagles have been this season Dallas, Washington and NY. I mean they have been such a dream to you that you go to sleep every night smiling at the fact that they are in the cellar and you are not.

Hopefully I got my point across. Sarcasm works well for things such as these.

So yes the Eagles are in fact a dream team for the rest of the NFC East but here in Philadelphia they are more a nightmare team.

The pieces are all there. In fact there is no reason on paper why this team shouldn't be winning games. They have some of the best players and pro bowl names. What is missing?

continuity?

good coaching?

the right personnel to play the defense Castillo is intent on having us play?

two kickers who aren't rookies?

players who can actually make tackles?

guys that can actually hold on to the football?

Yes, yes, yes, yes and hell yes.

These are just some of the glaring things that stand out when looking at why the Eagles are 1-4. 4th Quarter collapses  comebacks just short, missed field goals, horrible turnovers at the worst times, coaching miscues. Yupp. I think at this point the better question is why aren't the Eagles 0-5.

Eagles football has literally become painful for me to watch. I can't stand seeing huge leads blown or worse comebacks that end in disappointment. This team needs help and it needs it soon. Is a coaching overhaul necessary? No, I wouldn't go that drastic. They do need to do something however to put up another W. Not winning the Superbowl is one thing that would sting in a season where the Eagles were favored, but not even making the playoffs? Well that might be just as heartbreaking as the Phillies losing in the NLDS.

My uncle told me over the weekend that the only worse than a bad football team is an expensive bad football team. Unfortunately for the Eagles we are the latter of the two.
