The team lost in the Conference Championship game. 2008 was Andy Reid's tenth season as the coach of the Eagles.

Famous quotes containing the words philadelphia and/or season:

    I’d like to see Paris before I die. Philadelphia will do.
    Mae West, U.S. screenwriter, W.C. Fields, and Edward Cline. Cuthbert Twillie (W.C. Fields)

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
