Eagles/Giants wrap up...
Well that field goal hitting the uprights sure summed up the Eagles 2007 campaign, didn't it?
Here's some quick hits from the Standing Room Only steps in the corner of the end zone at the Linc:
*Brian Westbrook might be the best running back in the NFL. LaDainian Tomlinson could have something to say about that, but I'll use my East Coast bias and give the nod to 36 West.
...However...
*The Eagles receivers are terrible! Donovan McNabb looked like he regained some mobility yesterday as he was avoiding blitzers, but the receivers never got open, or simply fell down. The Giants don't even have good cornerbacks. Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown made Sam Madison look like the beast shut down corner from Madden 2002, instead of the 33-year-old, past his prime cornerback that he really is. (By the way, Madison and Patrick Surtain were an unbelievable cornerback tandem in Madden back in the day)
*The Eagles front seven has definitely become a dominant force at the line of scrimmage. They hold their ground, make solid plays and tackle well. The only problem is that nobody other than Trent Cole gets to the quarterback and causes a negative play.
*The Eagles corners are either hurt or have lost their confidence. Sometimes they play perfect coverage, and sometimes they are easily beaten by a quick stutter-step. To their defense though, they are lacking a solid nickel corner for the first time in their careers, so maybe they're playing more downs than usual. I guess the Eagles should have given Rod Hood the starter-money that he wanted.
*Brian Dawkins and Takeo Spikes are monsters. They never give up on a play and turn touchdowns into field goals when teams get inside the Eagles' 5 yard line.
Early prediction on the Eagles/Cowboys game: Dallas 31, Eagles 17

Receivers? According to Eagles management, a team doesn't need receivers to win a championship.
Yeah, we don't need receivers, and we don't need to run the ball. Wait, that leaves no offense...how do we win then? Ohhh yeah, that sums up the season, we don't win.
