Anyone who thinks this team has a shot at winning the superbowl is clearly dreaming while being a homer, and out of touch with reality.

Broadway Joe Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 41 minutes ago, UndyTaker said: I said in the off-season we were going to have a problem with injuries this year, because the roster is old and how lucky we were last season to have all 22 players in the SB and I got the "you can't predict that!" "you're pessimistic/critical/hater" usual reply. Yes you can predict injuries and yes, things revert back to the mean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone saying the season is over at week 15 is clearly being an extreme pessimistic and a Debbie downer and out of touch with reality. Every “good” team had its struggles this year. All of them. That’s what’s the NFL promotes. Parody. We’re not above some down play, clearly. As is the case for every NFL team damn near every NFL season.

All we are pointing out are the flaws that are going to keep us from getting to the goal that was set at the beginning of the year, raising the Lombardi trophy.

EagleBlueDon Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 God I couldn't be more done with this season man. The most stressful and probably disappointing team I've ever experienced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it interesting for as fast as a team can collapse, people don't believe it's even possible they can right the ship just as quickly; unlikely or not. Even with these last few weeks, the only team I think that the CURRENT eagles have absolutely 0 chance to beat is the 9ers. Would I favor the eagles against the cowboys/lions right now? Nope. Could absolutely see them pulling out a tremendously ugly win though. A lot can change in the next three weeks. Could they get even worse? Sure. I'm going to lean on the side of optimism though because otherwise, what's the point of even tuning in if I hate the team and have no reason to believe they will ever do anything positive ever again this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely reasonable. My thoughts almost exactly. I think people would just rather be doom and gloom so when they get let down, it’s easier to handle because they “expected it”. A self preservation tool. And if it goes well, then great! Who cares if I was negative, we won! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been pretty. Agreed. Im not a blind optimist. I see the issues. I don’t know why style points make you feel more comfortable though. In the end, it doesn’t matter. Just find a way. There’s been dozens of SB champions that haven’t been the best regular season team. And that detracts from them? No. Not at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, it doesn't look high But to say there is zero shot in them getting there is a bit of doomerism. I wouldn't bet on it, but it's not zero percent. Ex. See December 2022, Pre-thanksgiving 2008, Post Wentz Injury 2017 for just the Eagles history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndyTaker Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) "Doomerism" "Howie hater" "debbie downer" Some of us have been right about this team all year, including the offseason...and yet your ignorance still persists. We're trying to help you and teach you but you just dont want to accept it. Sad Edited December 20, 2023 by UndyTaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
