The Dreaded Saturday Eagles Pick

I’m done with this team. And why not? They seem to have given up the ghost as well, at least based on that putrid performance they offered a national TV audience in Seattle.

Yes, technically the Eagles are still alive. Don’t believe it. This team is dead. The only question now is who pays for it? Andy Reid? Juan Castillo? Both?

The Dolphins, after an 0-7 start, have actually been playing much better of late. The Eagles, on the other hand, keep saying they know each week is a must week, and keep losing. Not only that, but looking fairly disinterested in the process.

LeSean McCoy will find it fairly tough going against a surprisingly stout Miami defense. That is, if Andy Reid deigns to give him the ball. After all, Andy is an offensive genius and knows so much more than all the rest of us. That’s why he decided to ignore the league’s best running back the last few weeks and take his chances with Vince Young trying to beat NFL teams. How did that work out for you, Andy?

Sunday he goes into Miami with a banged-up Michael Vick. Sounds like about 45 passes to me.

Make it Dolphins 29, Eagles 17. Dead. Officially. End of season.

Last Week: One thing is certain. No matter what the Eagles do, they won’t look worse than they did in losing at Seattle. About as bad a performance as we’ve seen in the Andy Reid Era.

Season Record: It’s been a brutal season – for both me and the Birds. I’m sitting at 2-10, just waiting to be put out of my misery. Same thing could be said for the Eagles, wheezing along at 4-8, clinging to some mirage of playoff possibilities. That should end Sunday.
