At the end of the 2005 regular season, the Eagles sat at the bottom of the NFC-East basement! Every team in the NFC-East beat the Eagles ...twice!
Some say it was because of injuries, others say because the proverbial "window" had supposedly closed, stIll others say it was because a stronger NFC-East had finally caught up with an average Eagles team.
Now, in 2006, the Eagles are about to encounter the only team that they haven't beaten twice. Many Eagle fans believe we should have lost the 1st encounter with the Giants in the 4th quarter. I agree! But this is a chance for the Eagles to beat the Giants two out of the rear 3 meetings.
We've stopped Tiki Barber before. Other Giants to be concerned about are Shockey, Plaxico, and Manning. With Strahan out, Garcia will have sufficient protection to stay in the pocket and choose his targets. Still, the Giants will attempt to place pressure on Garcia ...as they should. But the Eagles have a screens, scambles and Westbrook to counter whatever they do defensively.
Jeremiah Trotter and Brian Dawkins, Eagles defensive captains called a special meeting with the team earlier today. I hold no crystal ball to what might happen today, But I'll tell you this, the Eagles will be on fire! ...on both sides of the ball!
This will be an exciting game. I believe the Eagles are the strongest of the two teams and will win convincingly.
