PHILLY SPORTS CORNER- EAGLES

Some random thoughts on the Eagles' embarrassing loss to Dallas..

* The Eagles looked fat and sassy, like they haven't gotten over their Super Bowl victory two years ago. They also look old and slow. They are one of the oldest teams in the NFL. They lack speed, both at wide receiver and in the secondary.

* They have now lost to Dallas 4 times in a row, and haven't beaten them since they won the Super Bowl. Worse, Philly quit. This team has no heart. Unacceptable!! The fans care and yet the players don't???

* They allowed LB Jordan Hicks to walk. Granted, it seemed like he was always hurt but..he does lead the league in tackles. He is playing great for Arizona.

* Taking Derek Barnett and Sidney Jones early in the draft  looks like a mistake. Worse yet, they could've had Delvin Cook at # 14 instead of Barnett. The speedy Cook is one of the best running backs in football.

* Agholor has always been a head case. They need to cut him and send a message. Promote Greg Ward from the practice squad or trade for another wide receiver.

* In the biggest game of his career, Carson Wentz again was brutal.  So was that stupid suit he was wearing post-game. Last season he was still recovering. This season? I think he is motivated to win, but he has gotten paid..so??

* Interesting question that weekend overnight host Steve Trevelise posed: If you could get Nick Foles back, would you, and would you then trade Wentz for at least two # 1's ???? Was it stupid to let go of a guy who has won a Super Bowl for a guy who has the potential to win a Super Bowl? 

* Time to bring DE Chris Long back, even for his leadership in the locker room?

* Even in the Super bowl, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz' defense have up tons of yardage and points.Does Lurie and Rossman  make a change in the off-season?  Would Seth Joyner take the def. coordinator job if offered to him? 

* Is the championship hunger still there?

* The soft December schedule won't mean a thing if the Birds don't start winning now.  

* Since Flether Cox got paid he is not showing up. Coincidence?

* The Phillies could win back the city by hiring Joe Girardi this week.

Like most fans, I'm disappointed. But Dallas has a tough schedule to close, whereas the Eagles can go on a run. Beating Dallas in December will show a lot as to what this team is msde of.

Winning in Buffalo next Sunday is a must!!! Go down 3-5 and you almost need to run the table,.
