Somewhere Bubby Brister is Licking his Chops

Last week it was Bruce Gradkowski. This week it was David Gerrard. The Eagles haven’t exactly faced Joe Montana and Dan Marino, but they are doing a great job of making mediocre, unknown quarterbacks into superstars.

We hit the halfway mark of the season with an Eagles team that is now 4-4 after losing three straight games to the Saints, Bucs and Jaguars. Not exactly a murderer’s row schedule, but the Eagles don’t have the fight to kill anything but themselves at this point in the season.

Today’s game exposed all that is wrong with this year’s version of the Birds. They still have a hard time stopping the run up the middle, they are still struggle when Donovan McNabb struggles, they still have shite wide receivers who can’t catch a cold in a hospital let alone a ball over the middle, and they still throw on first down every single bloody time.

If ever there was a team that was in need of a bye week it is this Eagles team. Their season is far from lost because the NFC East is muddled mess. There is still time to turn things around and address the various problems. There is still time to grow a sack of balls and play like men. There is still time to tempt us all with the notion that they aren’t as bad of a team as the one that has lost to the Saints, Bucs and Jaguars. There is still time for them to stop making Bubby Brister quarterbacks into Bart Starr.

Indeed, there is still time for them to play just good enough to break my heart one more time.
