New "Kings"of NFC East

A new team has emerged as superiors of the NFC East.  No, not the Philadelphia Eagles, but as difficult as it is for Eagles' fans to digest, it is now the New York "football" Giants.

Ugh, that hurts to say.

Admittedly so, the New York Giants are the best team in football right now; they have the Lombardi trophies to prove it, winning two Super Bowls in a five year span (2008, 2012).

Even though Eagles' fans can say they were a better team than the Giants this year, beating them with their backup squad during the regular season, the Giants, however, got the job done down the stretch.  

Starting off the season 6-2, the Giants gave themselves some leeway to regroup and make a run at the end of the season.  This wasn't the same for the Eagles; they struggled, starting the season with a 1-4 record.  The starts from both teams became a factor as the season came to an end.  Philadelphia would miss the playoffs, while the Giants would make it, and eventually become Super Bowl champions.

  

How will the Eagles regain their stature as the kings of the NFC East?  The answer is simple.  Not by winning NFC East divisions.  Not by having a great record.  But, by winning Super Bowls. 

 The first step is winning that first one, and for the Eagles, it has been oh-so-difficult for their franchise, obtaining zero rings in their existence.  

When will a parade down Broad Street ever happen for Eagles' fans?  The only way it can happen is through good management, good coaching and a plan within the organization that everyone believes in.  

Till then, more suffering will continue for Eagles' fans in the Delaware Valley.
