The Eagles are doing everything they can to try and convince us they are just an average team. I don't want to believe it. I think they are capable of being a good to great team. At this point, they certainly are just an average team. You could point to many things from yesterday's loss: the special teams allowing a great return in the final seconds, Donovan gift wrapping two Ronde Barber TDs, McDougle's big mistake, etc., etc. But there are only really two things Eagles fans need to point to: yesterday's scoreboard and the Eagles record. Yesterday was a huge loss to an average Tampa team and it puts the Eagles at a mediocre 4-3 with their schedule only getting tougher.

-Movie recommendation: The Departed. The acting was phenomenal and the Drop Kick Murphys song in the soundtrack fit perfectly. The Globe on Scoresese's latest effort: "A relentlessly violent, breathtakingly assured piece of mean-streets
filmmaking, the film shows the legendary director dropping the bids for
industry respectability that have preoccupied him over the past decade
and doing what he does best: burrow to the agonized heart of
criminality and let the blood and guilt splatter where they may." [Boston Globe] [YouTube] [Departed Soundtrack]
