Looking back at the preseason - Should we have traded for Tony Gonzalez?

This past offseason the rebuilding Kansas City Chiefs were auctioning off their best player, Tony Gonzalez, to the highest bidder.  The highest bidder turned out to be the Atlanta Falcons, who surrendered their 2nd round pick in 2010.  At the time, I felt the Eagles made an enormous mistake by not making a more aggressive move to obtain Gonzalez, but the emergence of Brent Celek has softened my stance a bit.  Since we're playing the team that outbid us for Gonzalez's services, let's take a look back and analyze if the Eagles should have traded for Gonzalez or not...

Looking back, if you're the Eagles' GM, would you have traded our 2010 2nd rounder for Tony Gonzalez?

Looks like DeSean Jackson will be sitting out against Atlanta. It's probably the smart move, especially with Atlanta missing Matt Ryan and possibly Michael Turner.

Things I like so far in the 2nd half of the season, things I don't.

With 5 games to go, the Eagles look to be in a great position to go back to the playoffs as at least a wildcard, with an excellent chance to win the division.  A road win against a bad Bears team and a home win against an injury-depleted Redskins team may not look great on paper, but they were both the type of games that Eagles fans have been programmed to expect to lose in recent years.  With that said, let's take a look at some positives and negatives leading into the home stretch...

1st Half Report Cards

8 games down, 8 to go.  If the season ended today, the Eagles would be in the playoffs.  I'm trying to decide if the first half of the season so far has been disappointing.  On the one hand, we lost extremely winnable games to Dallas and Oakland, but on the other, we had 5 very convincing victories.  Let's grade the majority of our players one at a time...

The generic star avatar in the new SB Nation look

Can we get rid of the star avatar for people that don't have an original one? I tried to not let it bother me for most of the week, but it's becoming more and more clear that I can't just let it go. I'm as superstitious as they come. For example, my company has blue coffee mugs, and I've refused to drink out of them the past 2 weeks because they're Giants/Cowboys colors. JasonB, are there other optioons, because this star really has to go. Seriously.

And maybe even more disturbingly for Dallas fans, he refers to teammate Miles Austin as "Number 2," instead of by name. This is an unnecessary distraction for a 5-2 team heading into an extremely important division game. Stay tuned...
