will we ever win?

Jets terrible so Eagles still alive

The Eagles took advantage of the Jets Eagle-like self destruction and romped on another Ryan defense and won easily, 45-19. By doing so they are still mathematically alive to make the playoffs. To do that the crappy Jets have to scrape themselves off the mat and beat the crappy Giants next week and then the crappy Giants have to beat the crappy Cowboys the last game of the season. The crappy Eagles have to beat both the crappy Cowboys and the crappy Redskins. It can happen!

Of course they'll probably lose in the first round, and Reid will definitely be back (though I think that was already certain) and Castillo will be too. Next year is the year! Merry Christmas.

Other notes:

• Even though the Eagles are winning, I'm not excited.
• Santonio Holmes is the perfect player for DeSean Jackson to aspire to - bad fumble, bad missed catch, and a stupid TD celebration that earned a 15 yard penalty.
• After watching Celek catch a 10 yard pass and run 73 yards to the 1 maybe the Jets have the worst safeties in the NFL, not the Eagles.
• McCoy continues to be the best Eagle and has the records to show for it.
• None of that cutback and reversal of field stuff McCoy does worked at all vs. the Dolphins. Against the Jets it worked all game.
• Vick had a decent game. He still is stupid and takes dumb hits.
• One hit Vick took that they penalized was a completely ridiculous penalty.
• When the pressure is on Sanchez he just sacks himself without fighting at all. Totally weak.
• If Babin sets the sack record it will be hollow.
• I enjoyed watching the opponent instead of the Eagles commit stupid penalties all game long.
• The announcers were clueless all game and repeatedly called things wrong and of course defended Reid.
• In the little bullet point graphic during the game of why the Eagles were "floundering," I noticed "terrible coaching" and "terrible personnel decisions" were absent.
• Did Buddy leave behind a defensive playbook and the Eagles have it in the vaults?
