Remember that article by Les Bowen about the poor personnel moves by the Iggles (after re-signing Cole)? Remember how he and others wanted to evaluate the draft picks or personnel moves over tha past couple years after the weird start? Remember how someone questioned Tom's ability to evaluate talent, and they BASED IT on our 5-5 record that could have easily been 8-2?

Well, I wonder what they are thinking now? Is our team beating the crap out of the NFC's top teams with smoke and mirrors? Are we a terrible 9 or 10 win team, despite almost being a 13 win team?
Several of us responded to a post about Bowen back when it came out. I was proud to see just how level headed some of us could be during a tough time. Sure we had some tough losses, but this team was still full of talented players. We just had a couple bad quarters that affected our record. We were not elite, for sure, but we were not bad enough for people to start calling for the resignation of our personnel department.
This win over Dallas showed me just how good this team can be. It showed me that the personnel wasn't the problem. A few players just made mistakes at the wrong time. The coaches were calling too conservative of games. JJ and AR were way too conservative and AR didn't know yet how predictible his calls were. Youth weren't ready either. But, I think it taught the whole team a valuable lesson, and they are truely peaking at the right time. And they are certainly capable of beating ANY team in the NFC. So, just how bad were Tom's personnel decisions, now that his players just kicked the crap out of a top 3 NFC team (according to every expert on TV this week), in their house, with everything on the line?
