we're(at least im) jealous

[TonyGraziani]

I finally figured out why the loss to the Eagles hurt so much and made all of us so upset. Was it because it was Philly? Partially. But I hate the aints even worse and losing to them didn't hurt as much. Was it because we got beat down? A little. But we got bulldozed for 8 rushing TDs vs. KC and it didn't hurt as much. It came to me while reading thru some of the threads on here....

I'm jealous.

We got beat at (what I wish to be) our own game.

Add in some more running game and the Eagles have my favorite offensive scheme in the league. They also have done something that TD hasn't really, and that's draft weapons. They have had fewer holes to address and therefore could focus solely on those positions though. I have no doubt that Matt would be at his ultimate best with that scheme and weapons.

I'm the type who doesn't think were going 16-0, but feels like were gonna win every game. I cannot understand any fan thinking "oh its a loss this week". That's hoeish IMO. But maybe the reason why we took this loss so hard is because it was like our HS rival doin donuts around us in a Ferrari while we sit it our Pinto that won't even crank half the time. I would guarantee that if we got beat down by getting ran on, or getting thrown on by a team with an bad scheme, we wouldn't have taken it so hard. But we got beat by the very scheme we(at least I) want.

The Eagles have not been a dominant franchise, but I would love for us to take some pages out of their playbook, pun intended, and surround Matt with some gamebreakers.

With that said, I understand logical thinking. I would guess that we will end up 11-5, 12-4 max. But ill be damned if I go into any game thinking anything other than that we will walk off that field with a W. You are just not a fan in your heart if you think anything different. JMHO.
