Title: Plenty of Incentive to Win

QuoteThen there is this: Reid told his players he will give them the week off - the team's bye week - if they win. If they lose, Reid will hold practice Thursday and Friday, which basically would negate any sort of vacation the players have planned.

:-D Andy must want to win this one pretty bad if he's willing to give them the whole week off!

It gets to me how everyone thinks the gap between the Eagles and the rest of the division has closed. Four games, niether Dallas, New York, or Washington has really beaten any good teams. Can't wait to start playing division opponents and prove we're still way better.

The gap has closed.  The Eagles will only win the division by five game this year.   >:D

Exposed, outcoached, outplayed, slow start, zesty special teams, etc., etc.

The STs suck. Period. This is not news.

AR gets out-coached rather frequently during the game. This was one of the first times I've seen him be out-coached leading into the game. He usually game-plans well... clearly that didn't happen today.

No question about being outplayed. #5 looked like he dropped a tab or three before the game. He was throwing farging bounce passes for god's sake.

I'd love to think that this one was some kind of abberation but I'm scared to death that certain parts are not.  The ST's, from top to bottom... are just as zesty as it gets.
