The Eagles’ 2018 season is over and that really sucks.
It felt like the Birds had a real shot to advance to the 2019 NFC Championship Game after jumping out to a 14-0 lead on the New Orleans Saints.
But it just wasn’t meant to be.
The reality is that repeating as Super Bowl champions just isn’t easy. It’s only been done twice since the salary cap era began in 1994. The 2004 Patriots were the last team to accomplish that feat.
When you put the Eagles’ 2018 season in context of recent Super Bowl winners, it’s really not all that bad.
