Eagles Trounce Dallas to Roll Into Playoffs - What a Nice Christmas Gift

It's been really tough for me to write this entire season, I lost the one person I use to love to talk about the games with.  My dad died a few months ago, and it's jut been tough, so this is the reason that EaglesChick has been so quiet.

Tonight though, I just felt that "it was time".  This game, was like Christmas morning when I was a kid.  What a beautiful Christmas Gift!  Thank you Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins, Corell Buckhalter, Quintin Michaels, heck the entire team!

Last night talk in the bar I hang out, was that our season was pretty much done, the best thing we could wish for was for us to beat Dallas - like we always do.  Never did we expect the stars to align and then have our boys hold their destiny in their hands.  I think a great thank you needs to go out to Houston and to Oakland, too.

I'm not one to quote the egomanical idiot (Terrell Owens) too often but "They just handed us an old fashion butt whoopin'".... "It's really a shameful way to end it.."  *Squee*

I've been an avid supporter of McNabb, not so much of Reid.  I just don't get why he doesn't see that we need the balance of running and passing, just befuddled me all damn season.  Look at the last 4 games... 3 of the 4 we had balanced games, the one game there was no running balance, we lost.  How much more clear can it be?  I just really wish McNabb would look beyond the "Boo Birds", he was voted the best quarterback - more votes than any other quarterback - for the "All Time" team last year, I sure hope he looks at that.  All this talk of McNabb leaving Philly ..... should just stop.

So what about the "golden boy" Romo?  The guy they spent what 8 million a year on?  Third year in a row now, Romo's flubbed up the Cowboys in the playoffs!  Remember the Seattle vs. Cowboys flub (pictured here on the right), this game ranks right up there with that.  It's probably sweeter, cuz our Birds were the ones handing down this flubbed opportunity this time.

Will Romo still be Ownens' "Boy"?  He said in his press time after the game, he told Romo he would be and said he'd still shed tears for him.  Do I believe that, Hell No!  In a month or two he's going to be calling for Wade Phillips' and Romo's heads.

Now we're on the way to the playoffs, it's just another game, but is it?  Well, we are playing the Vikings, and our old Offensive Coordinator Brad Childress.  Rule the Eagles out?  Don't think I will, at all!

Fans will be upset that the Eagles were not willing to pay Dawkins similarly, for all that he has done in the past. That part is true, but it also isn't how the Eagles work. They believe in paying for what players can do in the future, and neither Brian Dawkins nor anyone else is going to be paid for a pass he intercepted or a tackle he made in 2002. It didn't work that way for Troy Vincent or Hugh Douglas, and it wasn't going to work that way for Dawkins.
