I believe the Eagles aren't as bad as the media idiots make them out to be. I see them trying to run more and more as they will find it eats of the clock and protects their defense. I also think that McNabb is still very good if allowed to pick and choose his targets. The Chargers are the better team, but they don't have the better scheme or overall talent, just my opinion...

If the Eagles win...31-13...if the Chargers win 28-25...

Just a FYI that the Chargers secondary is banged up

Quote
The Chargers were without six starters Wednesday as linebacker Steve Foley (abdomen), cornerback Drayton Florence (ankle), guard Mike Goff (ankle), center Nick Hardwick (ankle), wide receiver Eric Parker (ankle) and safety Terrence Kiel (ankle) all missed practice.  They are all listed as questionable.

Defensive end Luis Castillo (hip), cornerback Sammy Davis (ankle), offensive tackle Shane Olivea (knee), defensive end Jacques Cesaire (shoulder) and running back Darren Sproles (ankle) did work Wednesday and are also questionable.  Tight end Ryan Krause (foot) missed practice and will not play this week

The Chargers are for real... and I think they'll give the Eagles all they can handle and it 'll go down to the wire.  I think the Eagles will look to regain that focus and that's what pulls them through.

In that regard, Dallas actually did us a favor.

If I'm wrong and the Eagles lose this game, I think they won't make the playoffs.

This is a must-win.

I don't think this is a must-win as it's against an AFC team. 11-5 or 10-6 should still be good enough to clinch a playoff spot.

How are the Chargers a better team if they don't have a better scheme or overall talent? Better cheerleaders? Better trainers? Better waterboys?

It's imperative to win that the Eagles get a lead early and hold, if not expand, it. I don't have a good feeling about this game, but don't see that as any reason for me to pick against the 2006 Super Bowl Champions.

Collection of useless stats:

Based on Jeff Sagarin's computer rankings: Chargers by 2 using Predictor (most accurate), or Eagles by 3 (overall rating)
The cool yards/point bendability index: Eagles 16.2,  Chargers 15.7  -  Edge Eagles (teams have to "work harder" to score)
Overall scoring defense: Eagles 20.2, Chargers 21 - Edge Eagles
Overall scoring offense: Eagles 24.5, Chargers 29.3 - Edge Chargers
Turnover ratio: Eagles +3, Chargers +1

My initial gut feeling was yet another embarrassment for the Eagles: 24-6
But I think Andy Reid's post bye-week mojo is going to save this one for us - Eagles win, 24-21
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Better team means they simply play better together, not that they are necessarily put in the best situation to win. I believe Andy Reid is just a better coach and I have always been a fan of your DC...he's tops in my book.

until mcnabb proves he can play 60 minutes without being affected by his injury the eagles will continue to get owned by good teams

sd got dallas' mass fax...three step drops quick releases spread it all around the field...and then sd has the added luxury of running lt behind this...deadly combo

27-13 sd
