i don't think that the attitude surrounding this team affects what they do on the field. but by virtue of the fact that they have the best record in the NFL, the only place they can go is down.
a loss would also result in overreactions. if this team doesn't go 6-0 in the division, it won't be the end of the world. let's say they lost the opener to the skins, but won tonight - 5-2 would have been considered a great start.

in this case i think it's more similar to the way that college teams are unfairly judged for late-season loss, and unfairly forgiven for early-season losses.
The NFL tried to bring them down to earth last week..we are going to see them pull out all the stops tonight. Might set a record for holding calls on both sides tonight for the Birds.
It's precisely the game the old Eagles lose. They're hot, at home, the other team is banged up here or there, the national media's talking about them... you couldn't ask for more perfect conditions for a chicken triumph.
500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.
