There is something oddly therapeutic about a fall Sunday without the Eagles.
Thanks to that eye-opening win over the Carolina Panthers Thursday night, Eagles fans were looking at a rare Birds-free weekend.
For one thing, it reminds you of all the things you could be doing every Sunday instead of sitting in front of the TV.
Luckily, yesterday was cloudy and damp, so it provided the perfect time to just sit around, read, watch some TV, and breathe in all those things that you miss out on most Sundays when you are instead glued to the TV.
It also doesn't hurt as you check out some other games to realize that the Eagles are now tied for the best record in the NFL.
That's right, thanks for losses by our old pal Andy Reid and the Chiefs, who fell to the Steelers, and a stunning loss by the Broncos last night to the previously winless Giants, the Eagles now are tied at the top of the NFL heap with a 5-1 mark. That puts them neck and neck with the Chiefs.
I liked everything about yesterday so much I just might repeat it next week.
I'm already looking forward to another lazy Sunday.
Of course, that also is because the Eagles don't play until Monday night.
Yeah, some habits are harder to break than others.
