Eagles: Brandon Graham gives fans a reason to be happy even after Super Bowl loss
The Philadelphia Eagles made it to the Super Bowl, and even though they didn't quite get the job done, there is still a ton to be happy about. No one thought the Eagles would make the Super Bowl before the seasons started and I'm confident that is an accurate statement. But, when it came time […]
The Philadelphia Eagles made it to the Super Bowl, and even though they didn't quite get the job done, there is still a ton to be happy about.
No one thought the Eagles would make the Super Bowl before the seasons started and I'm confident that is an accurate statement. But, when it came time for the Super Bowl, nearly everyone had them winning.
That just goes to show how dominant they were over the full course of a season. They turned non-believers into believers. As everyone still hates the Chiefs, the Eagles somehow became America's team overnight, stealing the thunder from the Cowboys who haven't been to the big game since 1995.
Since then the Eagles have managed to have three appearances and one win. I figured now would be the right time to remind Eagles fans how much the Cowboys have sucked over the last almost 30 years.
The Eagles have a lot going for them right now, and they did some amazing things this season. It's easy to forget that, as fans and players. So, Brandon Graham had to remind his teammates.
"I was just telling the boys, ‘stay together,’ because we put this team together well and had a togetherness like no other this year," Graham said after the game. "…Give credit to Kansas City. They made plays to win the game."
The Eagles took a second-year quarterback, well his second season as a starter, a second-year head coach, and some new pieces to the Super Bowl, and were very close a few times to having an undefeated record.
They also had a historic defense. They nearly broke the all-time sack record and broke several franchise records along the way.
This team was special with some special people. Let's hope they can keep it together for the most part, because they aren't done.
