    You don't build around a receiver....
  • You don't build around a receiver....

    Let me rephrase... keep Dez... blow up the rest- the pieces aren't there to get the job done.

    Don't reach for a QB. Build the lines.

    And for that matter... Arizona, with a 'washed up' quarterback (and great number 2 wideout in Boldin) went to the Superbowl on the back on Fitzgerald.

    Washed up? Dudes gonna be in the Hall of Fame. Yes, it was his last hurrah, but washed up?

    Anyway - the coaching and D is clearly the problem. Romo's not. Yeah, he has had numerous bad endings that are extremely frustrating. But, maybe that's b/c he keeps them in games they have no business being in in the first place. They had THE worst D in the league, and still almost beat the Broncos. Would it make everyone feel better about Romo if they had lost like the Eagles did to the Broncos? Not even be in the game? Cosmetics don't count in records, but they do when you are trying to assess problems and improve. Maybe, if they had a better D and play calling he wouldn't be in those situations against teams they should finish off (really? 36 pts against a Rodgers less Packers isn't enough? 48 pts in any NFL game isn't enough?) Funny thing is their D looked the best in the 2 Eagles games this year.

    The offense is plenty good enough already to compete and win. The D and coaching (which may be one and the same) need to be brought up to par.

    For the record... I'm not a Cowboys fan and I'm not a Romo basher. Dez is their best player- by far.

    Suspect play calling and a soft defence is most certainly a problem.

    I said 'washed up' in quotation to indicate this was the label he wore during that season. It's safe to say that dropping back and firing to those two players was a hell of a lot easier than dropping back and firing to, say, Kenny Britt and Justin Hunter. Fitzgerald and Boldin extended Warner's career.

    Gotta love the trash talking coming from Philadelphia fans .... Philadelphia hasn't won shit .... But their pathetic fan base sure knows how to trash talk. I guess when you got nothing else and you consider winning the division an accomplishment ....

    I believe in the last 21 years there have been 11 teams to win Super Bowls ... Eagles are not one of them.

    Well, truth be told, we didn't pick the time frame. I certainly am not wrapping myself in glory for what happened 18 years ago. But if someone's trying to rag on someone they should at least use good material lest they look the fool.

    especially in this new age of parity. you figure they'd win a couple just by accident.

    even the coach and qb are fraud sports fans:

    Tony Romo And Jason Garrett Are Duke Fans. Of Course They Are.

    Cowboys? Check. Duke? Check. This means they probably have Yankees and Lakers gear laying around the house, too.

    Must be a slow day for Philly sports fans when they are worried about the coach and qb of a mediocre nfl team.
