Breezing through the internet today, I've read all kinds of articles on the poor Philadelphia Eagles. Seems another East Coast city feels its team may be cursed. They've got to be kidding. The Eagles are cursed? Three straight conference title games. A Super Bowl appearance in 1980 (if my memory is correct). MVP candidates at quarterback and wide receiver. More Pro Bowlers this year than anyone else. If they are cursed, what the heck are the Lions?
One playoff win since 1957. Zero appearances in the Super Bowl. Two players paralyzed on the field. Another player killed on his front lawn. The most prominent player in the team's history quit right before the season began. More confounding losses, both regular and post-season, than just about anyone.
Eagles fans think they have problems? I'll admit that it must be horribly frustrating to get that close to a Super Bowl only to lose. In fact, I know it is. However, even without Terrell Owens, the Eagles have a chance to make the Super Bowl no matter how slim it may now appear. The Lions, conversely, don't have any chance at all. Again.
