If OC/DC were the primary issue, they would have struggled out the gate as players were learning the new systems; however, the reverse happened. Even good teams go through spells; it happens all the time. Regardless, I suspect they'll win double-digit games again this season, but will wait until Aug to make any real predictions.
Matt,
I am confused. The expectation for the Eagles (and this seemed to be a strong consensus) was that they would be returning to the Super Bowl. How does putting up 11 wins (and making the playoffs) while suffering an embarrassing end-of-season loss to the Giants and immediately getting booted from the playoffs in a butt-kicking by the Bucs suggest the Eagles met expectations?
