Agreed. Eagles were my pick to slip, vet Giants did instead.
A hard opening schedule made us all think so. Rush Limbaugh changed that focus from their play and tough foes to the media's desire to see a black man succeed.
Mcnabb was the higher man in this. His O line found its timing afer a shaky start, Ritchie their new all pro FB (and sixth OL) found his timing and the rb by committee took over. Staley's holdout was a slow start factor too, but it made him think team first and the rb now all are focused with shared reps to maximize their impact per carry/catch. Add a QB whose system and ability are tailored to what he does best which is improvsie or make things happen and who knows where they can go?
Their D had young speed who waited a year and learned, Hugh Douglas was a wake-up call to other key vets that this may be their last chance as a group. Taylor and Vincent know they will bid-war played by the Eagles office. Make this season count it is the way to stay above that. Their great OLB from Arkansas State is a key player despite no sacks or INT. Nobody throws at him and his D line does so well he needs not blitz. He is a pure cover lb and very underrated.
Wanny could use a guy like Mcnabb to make it happen with his feet as a missing ingredient. Jay's best games he runs enough to make plays. otherwise Norv needs a downfield arm. Aikman's system never used the running qb for Norv. Something needs to give here either talent or scheme or a combination of both. If Norv had other chances/looks he would use them for sure.
Here is to hoping the race gets you results. Otherwise give Sage a true look the last 2 games and evaluate the future.
