STRONG FINISH FOR BIRDS

The Eagles ended their season on a four-game winning streak.

They beat bad teams, in lackluster settings, to improve only to .500.

Still, they won games. Put it this way: If they'd lost all four, they'd be getting ridiculed.

Instead, give them this: A last, deserved blast of pride.

"We wanted to make a statement," Brent Celek said, "and show we were a good football team and that we are going to be a team to reckon with next year."

They should have been a team to reckon with this year.

But at least they have next year. That, they did earn.
