we CAN beat Philly

Yeah, we can take 'em. Last time our Offense was so inept that they gave the D no rest. Retribution!

Okay, I know the monday morning coffee was good today - but what did you use as sweetner? heroine?

Look folks. Not to dampen an otherwise wonderful day - Does anyone remember the talk after T. Bay?? Huge expectations leading to deep, suicidal depression when reality smacked us in the face. Please, Please, Please - let's temper our enthusiasm, it was just one game in which we played well against a bad team. Remember - we still had some dumb penalities (lost a touchdown b/c of one) and had special teams breakdowns (gave up a touchdown - 14 point swing right there).

(BTW - Speaking of depressions: Has any one done a head count? All warpathers still here and accounted for? Did everyone get check on their "losing streak buddy"?)

we didn't know squat about our team in week 1. those dumb penalties weren't false starts or PIs, this next game will be a home game, and special teams? they blocked ANOTHER punt that we scored 7 after..

i take my coffee black.

(head count - don't worry looking for me if Portis get less than 10 carries in a game. i'm just on the ledge)

We're gonna run the table, sneak into the playoffs and win the Superbowl. Excuse me while I go get another glass of Kool Aid.

and i take my Kool-Aid Burgundy. some call it blood.

i haven't said anything about the playoffs, just that i saw what was missing vs. Philly the first time yesterday. and it had to do with new things WE did, not just what they didn't.

To win we need to control the line of scrimmage and to do this we have to take Trotter out of his game. He is a run stopping LB and he expects to have another big game agianst us. If we can stop him we have a big chance because the eagles are weak agianst the run with out him we have to confuse the big fella.

A plus to our defense is that we now have griffin in this game and that will clog up the running game which helped them break out of their slump. We all know Taylor will be all over TO this being a dirty player as usual so he will become very frustrated. We have to Keep McNabb on his back and we also need to watch our hand because the refs love to give these guys free plays.

The Offense has to score period

The Eagles are going to be tough and I am not expecting us to have an easy time like we did against the midgets......I mean Giants! What we do have going against the Eagles this time around is that we now have a little confidence in our offense. If our offense plays at least half as good as it did today, we might just be able to pull it off, but we're going to have to play solid defense like we did the last time around. I think if we do get passed the Eagles, we might very well go 8-8 for the season..because the rest of the teams are definitely beatable.

I think Clinton is fired up and Ramsey is more comfortable. If the line can dominate the way it did vs. the Giants I could see this game being a battle with us coming out on top. I would LOVE to see LaVar back but if there is any question that he could do more damage I hope that he would sit out. Also I would like to add that Chris Clemons is playing great, I hope we can keep him around for awhile after this season.

Too bad its not the other one... Jevon Kearse could give us a lot of trouble sunday...

this game hinges on the OLine, absolutely right. i say run right at Kearse. the minute we lose that runfirst mentality is the minute we become the worst offense in the league. there are enough highlights of Ramsey getting sacked for an entire career.
