Danny Downer

Rich Hoffman plays Danny Downer to the Eagles feel good final. I take his point. Just because they beat a banged up Saints team and look like they can take a similarly mediocre Bills team is not a reason to think all will be well for the 2008 Eagles. Still, I don't dismiss the Cowboys victory as easily as Hoffman does. And I do agree with Reid when he suggests the Eagles would have been a tough first and/or second round opponent had they made the playoffs. (Hoffman notes that they are 2-3 the last five weeks, though two interceptions kept them from 5-0).
Bottomline, the team isn't as bad they're record, but not as good as the Eagles themselves think.
