Yesterday's game in detail.

Here's where I give my opinions on the Eagles games as a team and maybe some individual performance. Every once in a while i might throw in a bold prediction.

October 23
Eagles 20 Chargers 17

Good game for the Eagles. It wasn't their best game of the season, but they stepped off the field with a W. 20-17.

Their Defense did a great job, holding Tomlinson to only 7 yards. They stopped him from scoring a touchdown in 18 strait games. They only allowed 17 points to a team averaging close to 30. They did have a little trouble late in the game with Drew Brees. With under 2 minutes left in the game Sheldon Brown forced a fumble inside the Eagles own 20 yard-line, and the Eagles recovered.

Special teams wasn't the greatest all game, but came up with the play of the game. With less than 3 minutes left in the game, San Diego leading by 4, and they block the field goal and Matt Ware returns it for a touchdown.

Offense was less than exeptional. They scored only 13 points, although Donovan Mcnabb threw for over 30 completions. They passed of 75% of the time. It is very hard to win football games when the opposing defense knows your going to pass it almost all the time. No team with that imbalanced of an offense has ever won a Superbowl.

Bottom Line- The Philadelphia Eagles are now 4-2 and need a big win against the Broncos this Sunday. They are the underdogs, but I have a strong feeling the Eagles are going to have a huge game. The Eagles should improve to 5-2 and their remaining schedule is not all that difficult. The Eagles should win the NFC East, and probably go on to the superbowl. The only thing that will stop them is if their offense continues to be inconsistant, one dementional, and struggle in big games. If they can establish a run game early, the Philadelpia Eagles are the best team in the NFL. Period. 

Fly Eagles fly on the road to victory
