Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles must import talent in order to win.

The 2016-17 Philadelphia Eagles fall short of a completely disappointing season. The Eagles, devastated by the Chip Kelly regime, were thought to be a large flop in the pre-season. Chip Kelly had single-handedly destroyed the team's talent pool. LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, etc. were all lost as a result of the poor coaching. Running three plays quickly was not an effective scheme for the NFL. Doug Pederson stepped up in the Head Coach position, and with the draft of Carson Wentz, the city felt some excitement. The Philadelphia Eagles started off the season undefeated. This fueled the city's thought that after years and years, this would be the Super Bowl winning team. This dream quickly soured as the Eagles would lose game and game again, but there's always next time for this team. What does this team need?

This team needs to increase the talent. The receiving core is mediocre at best. Jordan Matthews is a great receiver, but a great number 2, not number 1. Nelson Agholor has been a major bust, Josh Huff was cut after an arrest in New Jersey, and there really is no way to win a Super Bowl with such mediocrity. Darren Sproles is an amazing running back, but he is quite old and should not be taken the bulk of the workload for the offense. Overall, the Eagles must import more talent for the team to reach its greatest potential. The age old phrase for this Philadelphia team, better luck next year. If the Eagles can manage to get the talent, next year could be the year behind Carson Wentz.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
