Spare me the talk about the great year the Eagles had. They did. But it doesn't change what happened Saturday night. They lost a game they should have won. At home. In the cold. Against a dome team. Huge missed opportunity.
I Don’t Get It: I'm as die-hard a football fanatic as you'll find, but I'm not sitting out there in Green Bay for that game yesterday. Wow!
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Chip Kelly. Outstanding first year as Eagles coach. Now onward and upward.
