1. McNabb moved around a lot better Sunday Night, and was more accurate. Agreed. He needs to take one more step, and stop trying to force plays. No reckless freelancing, only calculated risks.
2. I think they will be feeling upbeat about TO being gone. They will use this to rally together. Yes, and no.
3. This game is in their House. Very critical.
4. They always play well on Monday Night, especially at home. True. I used to not take stock in trends like these, but now they seem to carry some weight.
5, 6, 7. They are Desperate! Sums up the last 3.
Good points! Here are some of mine.
8. Lots of injuries. Dawkins is having an MRI. LJ Smith suffered a concussion and is questionable. His backup, Spach, has a lis-franc injury, very serious. That leaves us, perhaps, with Bartrum our long-snapper/tight-end. Also, there is a rumor that Hank Fraley is injured seriously. ST ace and wedge-buster Jason Short is out for the season.
9. Watch out for: Trent Cole, Billy McMullen, Sean Considine, McCants, Ryan Moats, Trey Derilek, maybe Andy Thorn. These are guys who may get PT because of injuries, and in an attempt to shake things up.
10. I've said it before, I'll repeat it. If the Eagles lose this game, IMO, they won't make the playoffs. If they win the next two, they have a real chance of winning the division.
