Focusing On The Game At Hand

Dec 24, 2011 at 08:31 AM

At the end of the day, the Eagles have nobody to blame but themselves for being in the position of needing a football miracle to make the postseason. You can't turn the ball over as much as the Eagles did early in the season and you can't blow as many leads as the Eagles did and you can't go 2-5 at home and expect to stay in the hunt.

So the Eagles have to finish strong against Dallas and then against the Redskins and then think about the future. Watching the Jets lose was painful -- that is a terrible team Rex Ryan has and the game itself was crazy-long. The Eagles led Dallas 7-0 by the time the Giants win was official.

I'm going to enjoy this game and think of what will be. No sense lamenting what could have been this season.
