This game really scares me for a variety of reasons. For starters it's a division game and these games are never easy, second it's not easy to sweep a division opponent, and third the Eagles are backed in a corner and desperately need a win.
Last week's all out smashmouth attack was great but let's consider the opponent. Gibbs likes to preach balance and we haven't seen much of that lately from the sputtering passing attack. I'd like to see Saunders get Campbell off to a quick start like they did against the Lions. Come out throwing and let's get Campbell in a groove early and let's hope Portis's big day against the Jets was a sign of things to come.

I think as in the Lions game everyone will think this will be a game which Portis will set the tone and instead we hit them fast with JC throwing the ball. This sets the tone for the game and gives the Skins a fast start and we dominate from the beginning.

i can't see the skins losing.since the majority of the wrs are banged up,i bet portis,cooley,and betts are gonna make up 90%of the game plan.if portis starts out good and the line blocks well,they'll keep running as long as the eagles do'nt stop them.i hate the eagles with a passion,but i do like andy reid.
i hope his kids get straightened out soon for his sake.

i was thinking skins would get 17 but 2 touchdowns may be wishful thinking . . i agree with you, we get 3 field goals and a touchdown going by our recent performance when were on the opponents half of the field
16 - 10 skins win it but need a nail biting defensive stop in the last minutes to preserve the win
go skins!!!
this is a tough one to call. It seemed to me that the eagles just gave up against the cowgirls. so I hope for an easy win but if they come out playing it could be a tough win.

I agree, tough one to call. Will the iggles rally behind their leaders in hard times, or fold like they did last week? The same could've been posed about us after the NE loss, but we came out w/some determination against the jets.
I look for philly to play tough, but you have to wonder about a team's psyche when playing at home & the evil TO is killing them, yet they not only couldn't stop him, their coverages were so out of whack on some plays they didn't even pick him up!
Sad to say, they don't fear us & will feel like this is a winnable game. Plus, they are a better road team, especially w/Reid's & McNabb's situation these days.
I see another ugly game, though JC will get more opportunities & will hit on a deep ball or two. Once again, the D is put on the field to close the deal.
