Off By A Hair

So says coach Andy Reid about the Eagles team.  “Off by a hair.”  I hope that’s all it is because that might actually be something correctable.

I haven’t lost my faith yet, but in all honesty I didn’t go into this season with my usual feelings of “we can do it” or “this year for sure”.  There has only been one year where I watched Eagles game after Eagles game without my heart lodged in my throat.  That was the year they made it to the playoffs but lost to Tampa Bay.  Do you remember that year?

That was a good year.

I will never forget that year.

They were awesome that year.

I have yet to feel that way ever since.  Not even the year they made it to the Superbowl.  Heart in throat, the entire time.

I have a feeling I will be choking a lot this year, just like the Eagles.  But I haven’t lost all faith in them just yet.  When I watch an Eagles game without any worries, then you know it means I have lost my faith.

Or they are back to the amazing team they were that year….
