Eagles - taterskins Game Thread

Other than the Eagles having a 100-yard rusher in Westbrook, Donovan not throwing any stupid interceptions, Morningwood calling the plays instead of Andy, and beating a team by 24 points instead of losing, I'll agree with you, MMH.

1 game back

This may be the first actual football game I've seen from the Eagles in 6 years. It wasn't great, but it was fun to watch.

[The BIGSTUD]

Eagles right back in the game. Pretty much everyone lost today that would be good for us except Dallas.

LOVE IT

Eli looked like crap in that Giants loss. The Eagles are right back in the race for the division crown. Next week is a must win at home against Tenn. before we go to Indy.

I liked what I saw from the offense. McNabb had some bad passes, but what qb wouldn't in that kind of weather? It was amazing he did what he did. I was glad to see a good running game. My one question is why was Bwest in the game at the end of the 4th qtr.??

Anyone who says Dawkins is on the decline can just shut the farg up.

Anyone who says the season is over can just shut the farg up.

Because you need your best runner in to bleed a clock out.  Wasn't it refreshing to see the Eagles do that to someone ELSE for a change?

Well, he is.  He's declining from a very high place, though, so he's still a very good player.

Ha!  Like I've said, the Eagles should go to 6-4 after next week, but their last 6 weeks of the schedule are still brutal.  Only losing half of those games to go 9-7 would be an achievement.  Losing fewer games is even more unlikely.

[QB Eagles]

The Eagles are in head-to-head battles with many of the teams in the playoff hunt in the NFC, so for better or worse, their fate is in their own hands.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Amazing what one game will do:

Eagles most likely to beat the Colts?!?

I voted for week 14, at Jaguars.

[Eaglez]

Yeah, I saw that poll, too.

However, the Colts have not looked impressive against some really mediocre teams at home in the past couple weeks. If the Eagles come out and play well, they have a pretty good shot at taking that game. But, that's too far off to make a prediction. The Eagles could look like ass against Tenn. and the Colts could look amazing against whatever team they play next week.

Peyton Manning has made the Eagles D look silly in year's past, and assuming that Jimmy John will not change his gameplan for Manning, it might be a long day.

Stallworth, Brown, Westbrook, McNabb indoors on turf?  i think it gives them a chance

[Sgt PSN]

$20 says that Reid doesn't even fly Marty to Indy for that game. 

[Eaglez]

Yeah, hopefully Stallworth's delicate hamstring will hold up on that turf and not get ripped to bits when he plants.

That's also assuming he makes it through next week unscathed.

[Sgt PSN]

I was more worried about Stallworth's hammy on the wet field yesterday than I am about him playing on turf. 

[ice grillin you]

22 carries for westbrook = 

many up the gut too

hopefully this lasts


indy will be the real measuring stick....they need to be competitive in that game


i rewatched the game this morning

the eagles had 22 first down plays in the game 18 of them were runs!

most impressive was three straight 1st down runs on the first possesion and then the first play of the next possesion play action bomb to stallworth....perfectly played

i cant believe how unbelievably bad broderick bunkley is

[PhillyPhreak54]

Did you shed a tear or two when your boy Sean got smoked?

The Colts aren't the Colts of old, y'all. They've been taken to task by some zesty teams and they are beatable. Anthony Thomas ran for 109 on them yesterday.

With Marty calling the plays now, the Eagles will run it. Indy is historically bad at defending the run
