Somehow, this isn't getting the play that is normally would with the Phillies success taking the area by storm. Are they going to get it together? I am not sure. I want to make everyone feel good by telling them not to worry, that things are going to be OK. But I am not sure that is the case. There are some positive points to keep in mind.
1. Eagles have looked horrible on offense - TRUE. But have a bye week and are 8-0 under Andy Reid the week after a bye, if they show me something vs. the Jets, I will feel better.
2. Eagles lost to the Packers, Skins and Giants - TRUE. But the Eagles also beat a 3-1 Lions team that is a game behind the 4-0 Packers, who if the Eagles field a punt, they would have beaten that game. So the moral of this story is...the NFC STINKS.
3. The Eagles D has been better then we thought - TRUE. And after talking to Omar Gaither this week, it will only get better. This D had been good without Lito and B-Dawk and should be even better when they get back.
4. The Eagles can afford to win with just D - FALSE. The Eagle O needs to preform up to its capabilities. No fan is expecting 56 points every week, but 21-28 shouldnt be to much to ask for with 3 pro bowlers on the offensive line, a top 5 RB in Brian Westbrook and Donovan McNabb, its time for the offense to get it done and the Jets might be the perfect cure for what has been an awful offense.
5. The Eagles cant win if they arent healty - TRUE. The Phillies had multiple injuries, but not all at the same time. The Eagles are missing 5 starters, all of which have been to the Pro Bowl. Get them back and you'll get back some of your lost mojo.
