will we ever win?

Football is finally back

Eagles are starting up again and the football juices are flowing but it's very easy to lose that good, all warm inside feeling. To avoid the comedown DO NOT care about TO. Don't read any articles, don't listen to WIP if they're rehashing everything for the millionth time, and change the channel if they start talking about it on TV. Second, and this one is harder, DO NOT watch more than 10-15 minutes of the exhibition games. In your mind you're thinking, "Alright, football!" but what your eyes see is entirely different. It's nothing but a sloppy, boring letdown masquerading as football and this will kill your football buzz.

Here is what you should do. DO watch and read about the additions to the team - Mike Patterson, Reggie Brown, Matt McCoy, Ryan Moats, and even Sean Considine. It's even worth paying attention to the rest of the draft class. Overall the Eagles tried to improve their offensive and defensive lines in the draft. See if there are signs that they were successful. Watch Matt McCoy to see if he can be a good backup. Watch Shawn Andrews to see if he's recovered from last year's season ending injury. Watch Buckhalter to see if he has anything at all after his second season ending knee injury. Watch the battle between Keith Adams and Mark Simoneau. Watch Billy McMullen to see if he has anything at all worth watching.

Watch out for more injuries.
