Maybe this is just the annual bashing of Andy Reid, but Philadelphia sports fans are not happy with the direction the Eagles are going.
Just a week ago, some fans and commentators made a snap judgment and declared "three years of leniency" for all sports teams in the city because the Phillies finally brought home a championship. Just a week later, a loss to the rival Giants has thrown the Pax Philadelphia out the window.
I thought at the time, and I'm seeing it now - the Phillies championship is going to put more pressure on the other teams, especially the Eagles (all things considered, this is still a football first town). Now, there is no more curse to blame. There is only Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, etc.
When the Giants won the Super Bowl, it didn’t make things easier for Yankees or Mets fans come September.
Maybe the Phillies can get some leniency next year, but their World Series is not going to help the Birds until they do something for themselves.
