Little Bro's Reaction

My brother chimes in:

I fear Deion could be right.  That and Lurie proclaiming they want McNabb - haven't we seen that before when they say publicly they want to keep him so later they can say - we tried and wanted to, but he didn't want to.  Total play for the media/fans.  It worries me.

The Defense is pretty f'in good.  Great 2nd half.  The big lapse was after Samuel's TD was bad.  They had chance to stop them and turn game into route. They did step it up in 2nd half though.

McNabb was great in 2nd half.  Moving the chains when pinned back - twice.  No points, but there was no chance the Vikes were going 90 yards on that defense in 2nd half.

I really like Avant.  Good hands.

Special teams were great.  Akers has been very, very good since about week 5.  Of course the meadowlands is like kryptonite to him.

Reid seemed to stick with run.  I can't believe they ran the ball once in 2nd half, but they kept doing it - with no success.  I'd like to see ratio, but I bet it was 60/40.  That's awesome.

Bucky is a quality backup.

Sheldon Brown, who I have always loved, has terrible hands.

GREAT, GREAT downfield blocking by receivers on the screen.  AND Nick Cole was out there knocking two guys down.

We had trouble stopping Chester taylor.  Worried about Jacobs.  Need Abiamiri back so Juqua Parker can sit his 245 lb body.

Very excited we're still playing.

Re-read the Sports Guy's picks.  He hates Philly.  We know that already. But he kills Reid and wants to put him in his manifesto as don't bet on Andy Reid ever.  Reid has 9 playoff victories and has won a playoff game every time he makes it.  He's won at least one playoff game in 7 of the last 9 years.  Yes, he mismanages the clock and can't challenge worth dog poo, but the guy wins.

We were 3-4-1 on road this year, but traditionally the Eagles have been very good on road.  Don't forget that.
