The Eagles- Super Bowl Champs!

If you read our NFL preseason picks we both agreed that the Eagles would finally win the Super Bowl this year- I went as far to make the bold prediction that Andy Reid would walk away at the conclusion of this run- but I'm sure some people are down on our picks right now.  Let's review some highlights of the Eagles season right now:

• Michael Vick has thrown 6, yes 6, interceptions.  This is more then Brandon Weeden and Ryan Tannehill.  It is also more then Andrew Luck and Bob Griffin, better known as RGIII, combined.
• The team has two uninspired one point victories.
• One of these victories was over Cleveland.

However, I think these are positive signs.  What?  Mike, have you finally completely and totally lost it?  That happened years ago- but I know I am right about the Eagles.  Why?  They usually lose these kinds of games, and dig themselves a deep hole that is almost impossible to climb out of.  Even with their starting QB playing terribly, they have found a way to win.  Good teams do such things.  They also beat a quality in Baltimore, whom everyone loves.  The Cleveland Browns seem to finally have a franchise running back in Trent Richardson, who destroyed the Bengals.  Hell, even Brandon Weeden looked like he didn't totally suck.  Truthfully, I feel better about the Eagles now.  They have a lead in the division, which is critical.  Remember, at the end of last year they were on fire, winning the last four games of the season by at least two touchdowns, but were undone by early season losses to the Falcons, Niners, Giants and Bills.  Hell, in total of their 8 losses, 4 were by a combined 15 points.  Winning close games should be seen as a step in the right direction for this team, as opposed to a backslide.  Keep the faith in Philly, you insufferable terrible sports fans who don't deserve Andy Reid as a coach.  And with that, look for tomorrow's post on the Jets.
