for me it was probably us physically MANHANDLING them. Celek was beat up, D.Jackson was beat up and virtually quit, and Westbrook is just a shell right now. Not saying they won't show up next week: McNabb and the 'D have alot of pride but our D' is laying WOOD like I haven't seen in many years. Jenkins, Ware, Spencer, Brooking,James, Sensabaugh are just whuppin' some hind end. My gosh, Alan Ball even had a nice stick or two.......THAT's what I enjoyed the most. What say you?;)

The secondary played a whale of a game. At times we had almost no pressure on McNabb and he still coulndt find anyone open. Very impressive effort.

I lover our ability to run the ball and keep O balanced. Phili didn't know when or if they should blitz.

The D played great as well.

HOWEVER, I did sense that Phili played very Vanilla throughout the entire game. Andy Reid is hiding alot. Honestly I am surprised with the 2nd seed on the line that he didn't try harder. Of course, give our players some credit. They played great.

They weren't vanilla. They had the 2 seed and a first round bye on the line. What we're witnessing now is an Eagles team without the dynamic threat of Brian Westbrook anymore.

They got whipped at the point of attack. Hopefully we finish them off next week.

I refuse to believe that the Eagles were more concerned with "hiding" anything than getting the second seed.

That sounds like a haters excuse.... not saying your a hater btw.

Shutout - 2 weeks running. 8 straight quarters of football giving up nada in the points column.

Absolutely casmith, when you get whipped at the line of scrimmage that limits a lot of what you can do. The Eagles offensive line is beat up and the Eagles are paying for it.

Difficult to choose one. I'll say the amazing job our O-line did run blocking in the first half. Our first two clock-eating drives were balanced, but the gashing runs had to be particularly demoralizing. We manhandled the Eagles at the point of attack right from the coin toss. We kept it up for the whole game and Doug Free's downfield block was insane.

Philly tried to win. McNabb left points on the field. Part of the reason Philly didn't show a lot is because they never had the ball in the first half. There will be plenty of tape for them to watch showing them losing battles up and down both lines. I'm sure both teams have things in their pockets but Philly didn't lay up in this game. They got beat.

I am sure their rather have 2nd seed. But maybe Andy Reid didn't draw up any "designed" plays specifically against our D and when with his "regular" playbook. Still we WHIPPED their *** not doubt.

anytime you pitch a shutout, you did something special.

Nevertheless, a TRIFECTA would be sooooo SWEET. I am so tired of hearing Eagles have great skilled players at every position. If your line get whipped it won't matter if you have HOF players at all your skilled position.

Encorageing? Heart, desire and good playcalling.

Discouraging? PENALTIES!!! It will cost us at some point if they aren't careful.

Pass protection, but the Eagles were curiously passive today. Expect them to rectify that next week.

The obvious intimidation factor our Defense has over their receivers easily, IMO.



Those guys are shook of our size and physicality.
