Daily News | Don’t let the Eagles’ Super Bowl loss fester, like previous Philadelphia disappointments
It’s hard to lose. It’s even harder to lose when winning is rare, like it is in Philadelphia. It’s hardest to lose when winning is sitting there, right in front of you.
That’s why, more than a week later, Philly is still so angry. Again. The town sounds like those whiners in San Francisco. Those cheaters in New England. Those excuse-makers in Dallas.This happens almost every time any Philadelphia team almost wins. The city fixates on one or two shortcomings or sleights, real or perceived, then wallows in its misery. Jim Fregosi and Mitch Williams. Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid.
The general feeling: Gannon choked against Reid, who was cast as a big-game idiot in Philadelphia, so he should be as big an idiot in Kansas City as he was in Philly; and Gannon didn’t take advantage of Patrick Mahomes, who’s great, but not that great when he’s playing on one leg. Except Reid isn’t as big an idiot as he was a decade ago, and Mahomes is the Michael Jordan of football, and he’s better than everybody else by a mile, even on a three-week-old sprained ankle.
