I don't think it would have mattered. The Eagles are on a long, fast downhill slide that reminds us how hard it is to stay on top in this league. Keep in mind they went to 4 straight NFC chmapionship games starting in '01 (what other club rose to the elite starting in '01??) and have tanked for the last two years. They have gotten stale while all around them improved. Even with a healthy McNabb, they would have lost big......
It makes you appreciate what the PAtriots have done in a big way, jettisoning (I know I sound like Tiki using big words) fan favorites,maybe a year too early, rather than a year too late....while overhauling the roster to stay at the top.....
Look around the league and there are very few franchises that have been on top for this long.....
Just my $0.02,
