Dream Team?


The Philadelphia Eagles definitely are not the team that we were expecting at the beginning of the 2011 season.  They were projected to be amongst the best teams in the NFL with weapons like, Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, and Jeremy Maclin.  These players along with their solid defense were said to be the “Dream Team.”  Obviously not playing up to their nickname, are they as bad as what their record states?  When watching the electric Vick play, he seems to show glimpses of greatness then is struck with a string of unfortunate events.  His four interceptions last week were not all that bad on his part but more of the receiver tipping the ball into the hands of the defense.  Also LeSean McCoy has been producing from week to week despite whom he is playing.  Sure, the Eagles only win was against the St. Louis Rams who are arguable the worst team in the NFL; I expect them to gel together sometime soon.  When you have that many good players on one team together, who have a track record of winning games together, its only a matter of time before they start winning games.  Remember this is an even better team than the one last year that made it to the playoffs because Michael Vick came in and did what he did best, and that was make plays.  They eventually lost in the first round to the future Super Bowl champions and are hungry to make it back again.
