Eagles Should be a Destination

A team of faith. Regardless of your religious beliefs, who wouldn’t want to go to battle with a team of smart, well mannered bruisers. This run the Eagles are on seems to be something special and win or lose I believe Philadelphia is now a football destination among the elite looking for work. Carson Wentz seems to be something special, top five quarter back special to be exact, and when you have a top five QB you become a beacon for those hoping to win. What I think is most impressive though; it’s not just Wentz who has the ability to attract top talent. It’s the culture that’s evolved over the course of the season. It’s more than “next man up” it was more a “next man is just as good, but dudes with easier names to pronounce started” mentality. I know that’s not actually the case but Peters comes before Vaitai and Carson comes before Nick. Fact is, this team has fun and wins. There’s no rigid mentality, there’s no “on to Cincinnati” mentality. There’s no it’s Tuesday so we can’t talk about Sunday mentality. It’s just a “why not us mentality.” Why not a team that subs in defensemen like the Broad Street bullies. Why not a team with the grit of Utley and the ’08 Phillies, why not a team with the talent of the ’83 Sixers and why not a team that has as much fun as the ’93 Phillies. Let’s. Fucking. Go.
