    another good win for the birds. i was expecting a close one and that's what we had.

    the defense has got to play better. but you have to cut them a little slack due to all the injuries. they did clamp down in the 2nd half though.

    another come back win the 4th quarter by d mac. he looked really sharp down the stretch. maclin and big play jason avant came up huge yet again.

    hopefully d jack and celek will not miss too much time.

    i heard someone say this on the radio on the drive home and i think it fits: this team really resembles the '01 eagles. they really have rebuilt right under our noses without getting really awful. lots of young players making significant contributions. the big difference is that the offense is carrying this team will the d carried that one. and, obviously, we have a more seasoned and mature 5....which is only a good thing.

    7-4 and the #1 wildcard seed if the playoffs ended today. right about where i expected them to be. looks like they have have caught a big break with matty ice and turner banged up for next week as well...

    get to the playoffs and anything can happen. :mrgreen:

    Avant has been great as a 3rd receiver this year. he goes down the middle and flat out catches the ball - very few drops by him. can now understand why Celek couldn't catch yesterday - he was terrible for that one stretch in the 3rd quarter but I guess the hand played a part in that.

    win the next 2 and you are pretty much a lock for the playoffs.

    even if they split the next two, i think we win the last 3 and that last game will be for the division....

    celek is supposed to play. i would bet jackson will miss this week.

    what i originally had down as a loss has turned into a must win with ryan and turner both out...regardless of if jackson plays. they need this one now.

    it will be interesting to see the crowd's reaction to vick too.

    It was done just in case you all lost that way you'd be able to blame an idiotic coach for putting you in a hole. Instead you win and are easily going to the playoffs b/c the rest of the NFC East sucks.

    yup it's luck we are 7-4 and looking good for the playoffs
    Huh? I never said you were lucky...marginally good in a weak division perhaps, but the Eagles really haven't been lucky this season.

    Meh. Ya never know what can happen. Atlanta's got Redman going, and Turner out so we better win.

    I think we see a lot of Vick this week - not just because he's in the ATL, but because we're down to 3 WR's and they're going to need more offensive options.

    I think there's numerous reasons why people aren't excited about the Eagles right now. First being they are right about where they should be maybe a game less even(oak). Secondly people have seen this story many of times before and know the ending already(d-mac chokes in the clutch) and Reids poor clock management costs us another game we should have won. Next is they haven't exactly looked impressive in there last couple of wins, barely beating chicago and a beat up skins team was harder then it should have been. I understand we have injuries as well but we have so much talent on this roster that we should be 8-3 or 9-2. I feel that once this team beats a good team in a meaningful game then people might have a little more faith,but right now talking to friends and others NO ONE believes this season will be any different. I'm still hopeful that we can get hot and actually run the table,time will tell. GO BIRDS!!!!
    Go Birds!!!!

    You pretty much summed up my feelings

    Wouldn't be shocked if they tank or shocked if they ran the table

    Make the playoffs and see what happens !!

    When we were in Mexico on our Honeymoon the Eagles were Playing Dallas with a Spanish Broadcast team and the Broadcasters would refer to McNabb as "Señor McNabb" :lol:

    Young talent is nice but a new coach and qb in the near future might be the answer. Im rooting this team on don't get me wrong but far from excited right now. Im still screaming every sunday at the tv and ill always be supportive but im just alot more realistic now.
    Go Birds!!!!

    well you aint gonna get a new coach as they are most likely extending him for another 3 or 4 years so... this is the realitiy, like it or not. and donny is still a top 10 qb. so i don't want to make a change there if we don't have to.

    but look, our o line is starting to jell at the right time. winston justice, god bless him, is actually turning into a serviceable right tackle. we have more overall weapons on offense than at anytime in the reid/mcnabb era (yes, more than 2004)....if the defense can get healthy, we can make some noise down the stretch and in the playoffs....playoffs?!?! :mrgreen:

    with that said----next year, with stu back in the middle, witherspoon on the weakside, and hopefully a new pass rushing beast on the other side of trent cole...i really think we could be a dominant team. this year's team reminds me a lot of the '01 team in that we have so many young guys contributing and the team's moving in the right direction...
