I remember 1993.  Norman Braman was content on keeping Kotite after losing Reggie White via free agency.  The team lost Randall vs. the Jets with a broken ankle early in the season, and the team ended 8-8.  I feel the same depression of a lack of hope I feel now after that season.   Ironically, it's Lurie who steals the team from Scrooge Braman (if he only knew 18 years later, Lurie bought the Eagles for pocket change today), and provides hope that Kotite is dead after 1994.

Andy Reid is now Rich Kotite 1994. The only hope Eagle fans have this season is to watch a potential rookie QB become the future.   A rookie QB can learn, Vick is stuck in his ways, he is useless.

If Reid want's to save his job one more time, he starts Foles, and makes him the QB he can be.  Wait, I think I feel sick!

Good times. Used to be handed tickets to games, late 80s, 90s. Was a kind of, 'how bad can it be?', trainwreck kind of thing, with refreshments. It was like Bill Hicks used to say, 'You gotta peek'.

I saw Jerome Brown's last game he ever played at the VET against the Redskins 12/91.  It was a meaningless game.   I remember crossing the Girard Point Bridge with scalpers selling tickets as I was gridlocked waiting to make to the VET parking lot.  A woman was decapitated by a flying brake rotor in the opposite direction I-95 near Chester,  that was why I was so late. The Flyers were playing which made this traffic crawl worse.   JFK stadium was still standing.  I finally found my seat the beginning of the second quarter.   The first play I witnessed was Otis Smith returning a Mark Rypien pass for an Eagles TD.   Since I came from Redskins country as an Eagles fan, this meaningless win over the eventual Superbowl champions meant so much.   The Redskins game I attended a year later @the Vet made it so much sweeter.   The Eagles made the playoffs, with Eric Allen's deflection in the endzone in the final seconds in front of Gary Clark.   Good times.  I never heard a stadium so loud.  My ears rang for two days.

How can you even let your fingers type that nonsense?

It's the anger and frustration of living in central NJ having to deal with NY Giant fans while watching the Eagles continue to flop.
