Cheer up, kid, it's not your fault. They were supposed to go for it.
Yeah, okay, they punted, and they shouldn't have. but let's face it: the Eagles had a tough season. The schedule was rough, they lost their fearless leader early on, and face other significant injuries throughout. Jeff Garcia and the vets on offense and defense (read: Westbrook, Dawkins) combined with newfound talent (Baskett, Buckhalter) to string together a team that rallied back late in the season and got further than anyone in Week Six would have imagined. And yeah, in the end, in true Eagles fashion, they defeated themselves. But the Saints were a team that more or less had it together all season and should be a strong contender next season as well.
So, come on, Philly, go easy on the birds... they have proven themselves capable of at least self-regeneration. I resolve - and you should with me - to become a "good Philly fan," one who refuses to fluster at the flippant lack of any significant championship in my lifetime, and one who, despite the irascible, acidic pinching of my stomach, says with starry-eyed hope:
There's always next season.
Go Phillies.
This post is introspective, at least by Philly standars.
