Are The Eagles On A Downswing?

I think there still a good team, but no one fears them anymore and yeah, McNabb didn't look right last week.

Its nice to see some good analysis about a rival without the typical "hey you're a Skins fan you suck" comments. Until November 18, I don't see why we can't talk without silly comments about games that affect both our teams. Now the week before we play you guys all bets are off lol.

Starting the season, the way I see it is if you wanna make the playoffs you have to go at least 3-3 in the division and hold home-court. We have had awful records in Philly, NY, and Dallas in recent years. To be honest, by the way your offense looked last night, I'm glad we aren't playing the Cowboys until November when hopefully we've established some momentum and Campbell has had some more starts under his belt...because it looks like it will take scoring more then 24 pts to win minimum with the offense you have and its one thing to be able to perform at home...but on the road against an NFC East rival is another story.

If, and that's a big if, we can get past Philly...we have NY at home, bye week, Lions at home, at GB, and Arizona at home before we go to NE. All games in which we have at least a 50/50 shot of winning IMO (except for NE). Our November and December schedule are tough, particularly November when we have a stretch of 4 out of 5 games on the road (10/28 through 11/25).

Since Ladell Betts (Portis was injured) ran for 170 yards the last time we played them, I have the feeling there will be alot of 7 and 8 man fronts. The question then becomes whether Campbell can take advantage if the run game is denied.

I am sorry. You(skins fan) asking if the Eagles are on a down swing in the CowboysFANZone of the site is a little off to me. There is an NFL zone for that.

Sorry
