"And you beat the Pennington-less Jets and beat the Ravens, but who else?"
we havent beat anyone of consequence... i never said we have. but neither have i made the claim of being the best in the AFC or the best at anything. you just stated the Eagles are the best in the NFC. i think with a resurgent Marshall Faulk, the best team in the NFC is the Rams, at this point. but that is my opinion and it is entirely subjective. again, i think it is an evenly matched game. in fact i think the two franchises mirror each other in recent years in that theyve both had high expectations, and no SuperBowl appearances.

Here's a fact for you boss,
"The leading back in the NFL is not really Jamal Lewis or Deuce McAllister or even Priest Holmes. Instead, it's the Eagles Three-Headed Monster of running backs -- Staley, Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter -- who have combined for what would be a league high 22 touchdowns and 2,018 total yards from scrimmage for the 10-3 Eagles."

Oh wonderful.... Great, they are the best...
How are the recievers on the best team in the NFC?
I don't think the defense who is 3rd against the run giving up 88.1 yards on the ground and only 7 rushing td's has any shot in hell against that "Three headed monster"
Laugh, you're a clown.. :goof: It's obvious that the receivers are the Eagles weakest link on the offense. Then again, that's what makes this offense hard for defense to figure out. Each week it seems 8, 10, 9, 9 different ppl catch the ball. It's very hard to focus on one guy other than the one throwing it. But, it seems when plays need to happen one WR steps up. We def have an unorthodox style of offense.
And as you guys love to mention. The Cowboys said the same this.

I can't wait until Monday Night. This will be fun....
Its not the recievers when you are throwing dump offs and screens, you really can't be shown to be an overrated qb.
Fiedler 9 games: 9 TD's 9 INT 1500+ yards. 73.8 rating
McNabb 13 games: 12 TD 9 INT 2500+ yards 77.2 rating
Neither one of these QB's are doing squat this year.
Neither guy should be going to the pro bowl thats for sure.

Dmac has gotten better week after week. He sucked at the start yes. He was hurt and it showed.
He is now playing some of the best football of his life. He really came alive as of Nov. Thus the O-player of the month award. Do a TD-INT QB rating then. You will see damn impressive numbers. All this with out any true "studs" other than himself.

You had 8 different recievers last week:
9 receptions to RB's (Dumpoffs/screens)
8 to WR's (3 WR's)
2 to TE
When 2 out of your 3 WR's have more then 1 catch it really means you don't have to double coverage.
Your TE's had 2 Catches, whew.
So, the whole goal in stopping the eagles are the RB's.
Where does one figure that the defense has hard times in covering folks?

So he is the savior? He has had a 103+ rating against poor teams.
Correct? Yes, of course, and don't bring up that Dallas has a good defense, they made Jay look like God
What makes it hard is there are 3 of them. Each with different styles yet the same conclusion.
But yes, the key to our offense has been with the RBs. Wow, sounds kinda different from the fins doesnt it:). As we all know stop Rbs is easier said than done.
