The last time the Philadelphia Eagles were dominated so thoroughly they had a whole offseason to contemplate the defeat. They have two days to get over this dismantling &#151; a 27-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday that snapped their franchise-best 7-0 start and left the NFL without an unbeaten team.

In 1976, at the start of his first year as the Philadelphia Eagles' head coach, Dick Vermeil issued an open call to anyone who wanted to try out for the team. Having lost the last game of the previous dismal season, 31-0, to the Cincinnati Bengals in a dreary, snowy Veterans Stadium, they had nothing left to lose, right?

They have had a week off to contemplate their new status, that of a team with a blemish on its record. For the Boston College men's basketball team, that is heady stuff indeed as the Eagles resume play tonight at Conte Forum against Rutgers a week after their quest for a perfect season ended with a 68-65 loss at Notre ...

With three consecutive defeats in the N.F.C. championship game, Eagles fans can hardly be blamed for a case of jitters or show-me skepticism.

Until Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles hadn&#39;t played a football game in this town in 20 years. As far as the demoralized Detroit Lions and their deflated fans were concerned, it wasn&#39;t long enough.
