The last time we were here, when it was real six months ago, this should have been titled: “The Bad, the Terrible, and the Worst,” after the Eagles’ 32-9 Wild Card round playoff debacle in Tampa Bay on January 15.
With 10:44 left to play, ESPN color analyst and NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman brazenly—and accurately—announced to the nation that the Eagles were a … “a defeated team and they were when they came in. And there’s been no life to this group really throughout the entire ball game.”
That is what the Eagles—and Nick Sirianni—must get over this season when it becomes real.
