I love my Eagles, but they're following the recent trend.
Go to the Superbowl, lose, miss the playoffs next year.
But you have to admit, they've probably had one of the hardest seasons in recent memory. Losing Simon to Indy in the offseason for NOTHING. Pinkston's offseason injury. McDougle's offseason injury. McNabb's injury in week 1. Akers' injury. Johnson's injury. Mayberry's injury. Sheppard's injury. Hicks' injuries. Oh, they also had a little problem called Terrell Owens. (Fucking selfish whore).
Next season is going to be a lot like this one unless they can fill Owen's void. They'll either need an amazing WR draft pick that can be thrown into a starting role immeditely, or a high caliber WR free agent signing. Smith, Lewis, and Brown can only do so much. Even with an amazing TE, a pass-heavy team can't survive if they're depending on a couple of receivers that should be third in the depth chart, not starting.
