The Eagles beat the Jets today in what was pretty much a must win for the Birds. However, they really struggled on offense again. I think the main problem has been the offensive line, they are not pass blocking very well right now and with Donovan McNabb not 100% the breakdowns from the O-Line is the main concern right now.
The defense really played well again today, they looked a little lost early in the game verse the Jets running game, but got their act together and held the Jets without a TD. Now the Jets are not a very good offensive team but its another good effort from the unit that was questioned the most in the offseason.
The special teams are still, well, not special. David Akers missed 2 field goals, Sav Rocca had another tough game and the return teams still stink. They need to get better here.
The good: Eagles D played well again without Dawkins, Lito and Bunkkey missed some time too.
Brian Westbrook was back, and gave the Eagles a much needed shot in the arm when they needed him, he delivered. The were no injuries today, thats a plus.
The Bad: Again the Eagles offense was stuck in 2nd gear all day. Save for the early big TD to Kevin Curtis, they still couldnt put a good drive together. The O-Line is still having trouble with pass protection.
Up Next: The Eagles (2-3) host the Bears, who lost to Minnesota. The Bears seem like a team that the wheels are falling off. Minnesota is not a very good offensive team and they managed to score 34 points verse the bears D.
Plenty more on the Eagles win over the Jets tomorrow at Chickie's and Pete's.
Talk to you on the radio....
