First up i am really not sold on the Eagles as the NFC Pats. The Eagles benifit from being the best of the worst or the nicest of the Dammed . Look at any of the playoff teams from the NFC this year and compare them to previous years and you cannot help being embaressed . The Rams, the Vikes the Seahwaks and the Falcons are just not championship quality teams one dimentional and highly floored and do not even get me started on the Farve turnover fest . I am not saying the AFC are leaps and bounds ahead but the Colts, Steelers, Chargers and Pats are all definatly on a higher tier than anything the NFC had to offer this year.

Alexander isn't going to push the Eagles over the top. If they had a firey runner to take the game and run with it to get the preasure of McNabb which something they sorley need to do. Westbrook gets 6+ yards per carry but one of the lightest workloads in the NFL some reserves had more carries than him . Fair enough if it was a young Priest Holmes or maybe a Julius Jones or even a young Bettis someone who is hungry enough to take charge then that might be enough but the thing is Alexander just isnt that guy and if the Seahawks don't keep him I think it is a case of buyer beware just maybe he is just past his best.

Chemistry is everything you just cannot keep adding more and more parts to a team like the Eagles and hope nothing changes. Everyone says how he Pats change this change that but the secret to the Pats is the system where you can plug a no name in there and not skip a beat. The Eagles is becoming a collection of names where a player like Owens goes down and they loose two meaningless but ugly games they should have won even with backups.
