Week 6 - Where's a hurricane when you need it?

Well folks, the Eagles doubled their losses this past weekend. I did not see most of the game, but probably the last 25 minutes of play. I heard there was a fumble on a punt return by Dexter Wynn which caused another important touchdown for the Saints. While that mistake is inexcusable, people do make mistakes. Donavon McNabb made several mistakes last year (primarily not seeking assistance for his injury) that resulted in very few W's for the Eagles. The guy made a mistake, as do all players, and he will probably not live this one down. I have not listened to local Philadelphia sports radio because I don't want to hear all the idiots who praised the Eagles last week but will cut them down as pathetic or losers this week. If he is getting a hard time, deal with it. New Orleans is a much better team this year, not the guarenteed victory it would have been last year. Drew Brees, my favorite non-Eagle, played great from what I saw (and heard on the radio as I was gutting my basement). You can't win them all. We are certainly used to that in Philadelphia. Let's hope they meet New Orleans again in Philadelphia during the playoffs. I really have nothing else to offer on this week as New Orleans played great and the Eagles really stepped it up in the second half.

Looking Forward:
This week the Eagles go to Tampa Bay to continue the "Goin' South" tour. I think the Eagles will win this one. The real starting quarterback (I can't even remember his name anymore...Simms is it?) is trying to find his spleen these days. This new guy Gradkowski has stepped it up from what I read. However, he will be fodder for the Eagle's Defense this weekend. Joey Galloway I believe will be ineffectual in this game. I will pick the same score I gave last week, as I want to gloat when this score actually comes true during a game: Eagles 24, Tampa Bay 14.

Side Note on Fantasy:
Thank you Chicago Defense. You gave me a scare but proved worthy of being on my fantasy team 2 years running. Chicago has a bye this week. I am so confident that despite them having a bye, I might just use them any way as a lucky charm. Otherwise, I will go with Arizona who are playing Oakland.
