Fly Duba Fly
Week 7 - Oh no, we suck again!

Okay, as an Eagles fan over the past few years I am not used to losing. Except for last year, but I thought all the problems had worked themselves out. Well, this past weekend there was another player who screwed up. I am sorry, but when you lose 23-21 on a 62 yard field goal and the opposing team only scored 1 offensive touchdown, somebody had to have screwed up. Donovan McNabb, this week that dishonor goes to you. You actually were responsible for 5 touchdowns, however only three of them counted for your team. I think McNabb is great, he came back strong to capture the lead in an exciting catch by Brian Westbrook (100+ rushing, 100+ receiving) for the lead. That was with 33 seconds left. The announcers then said the stupidest thing, that Westbrook should have not scored the touchdown to hold on to the ball till the end of the game. You mean you should not play to win. I bet Troy Aikman would not have made that comment.

I know this is short, but what can I say. The Eagles' 2 game losing streak is similiar to last year when things fell apart. Maybe it will be the home field advantage this Sunday that breaks that streak.


Looking Ahead
Well, Jacksonville could be a great team, but after losing to the Texans (who are a much different team than we last saw when they played the Eagles in Week 1), they don't seem so great now. I'll do it again...Eagles 24-14.
