The PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Green Mile

I am an avid Eagles fan (yes I do the chant...lol). I was born and raised in Philadelphia and remember watching my favorite team get pounced by the Raiders way back when. A lifetime of disapointment don't make me less a fan and I'm not one of those wagon riders like them cheap Dallas fans. Yea, the ones that disappeared during the 1-15 season and didn't show back up until the worse trade in football history when the Vikings traded their draft to the Cowboys for Herchal Walker. A trade that netted Aikman, Emmit and  Irvin and more damn superbowls. OH the pain!

Simply I am a homey. I love Eagles even though we don't have superbowls. We have pride and what always seems to be exciting seasons. Always some kind of controversy and of course us, the fans. How can you argue with people that throw snowballs at Santa Clause...HEY, he was a Cowboy fan!! Can't hold that against us. Yea I took a couple shots at that Jimmy Johnson rug, so what. We are passionate and we stick to the end even when we're pissed. Even when all other fans would long given up, Eagle's fans are still standing. Still fighting and holding onto that last hope. Kinda like this year...lol.

We have to win both against the Skins in D.C. and Dallas at the Linc. Though the 7-7 Skins don't seem to be much of a threat given their struggles as of late, lets not forget the 145 yards of running that Portis put up at Lincoln Financial on 10/5.

But we still have hope. It don't matter that we finished last in the East two out of the last five years. We still have a shot at the playoffs this year. It's not going to be easy having to take both of these games. That's just the half of it. Still need a little help from either an Atlanta or Tampa loss. Neither of which is too far fetched.

Atlanta has to play former Eagles coordinator Childress and the Vikings. A team with white knuckles holding onto the 1st spot in the NFC North. The Bucs on the other hand have a carpet ride playing the Chargers and Oakland to close out the season. Ok, yea you could say that the Chargers could find some of that magic they seem to come up with once in a while...annnnnnd, they seem to think they still can really make the playoffs. Please help me stop laughing.

Come to think of it, it's kinda funny that the fate of our season rides on two former Eagles coordinators in Childress with his Vikings and the one we like to call Chucky down there in Tampa.

In any case, the Eagles have more hope than the Chargers that's for sure. Not to say it's much. But a simple Alanta loss to the Vikings (very likely) and it's in our own hands again. But we have to win or it don't matter what anyone does. And that fans....that is my PHILADELPHIA EAGLES GREEN MILE.
