Philly let Jackson go because he outshined Chip Kelly, and for no other reason.

The Eagles needed D Jax more yesterday than we did. Someone that can stretch the field and open up coverage.

Garcon and Reed benefit a lot from just DJax presence on the field.

Excellent point -- I completely agree. Let's be honest -- if there were no salary cap ramifications, I don't think anyone would be talking about letting DJax (or Garcon, for that matter) go. They're both playmakers and have proved to be good teammates in DC. DJax has been hampered by Kirk's accuracy issues with the deep ball this season (Kirk should probably have another 5 TDs or so), and as the fly route is DJax's bread and butter, it will obviously affect him more than anyone else.

The Lions can be thrown on (and run on too, for that matter). Let's see what happens this week.

To that end, while celebrating yesterday's win is great, no one should look past the Lions. Their offense is humming, and they beat the Eagles, put up a bunch of points on a good Rams D, and nearly beat the Packers in Lambeau (although that isn't looking like the challenge it once was). Now they also lost to the Bears and Titans, and barely beat a pretty weak Colts team, so they're obviously a pretty flawed team. But no one should look past them because any given Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday)....

Oh we are no where near looking past anyone. We can beat the Lions but they can definitely beat us too. We need to be focused every game.

Did you guys see how far from the LOS the Eagles deep safety played? He was 30 yards off the line (looking for a screen shot - can't find one). He was never a factor in the run game - may as well have been on Mars.

I guarantee you he wasn't playing that deep b/c he feared Pierre Garcon's or Vernon Davis's deep speed.

Thank God someone else realizes the value this guy brings to the table just by sitting at it! Luckily the starting lineup in the NFL is not based on say fantasy points.

Boom, I think that's it exactly.
