Three big wins against division leaders and the Browns (undefeated on Monday Night Football this year) and McNabb, Reid, and Westbrooke being the toast of the town. Not to mention the Cowboys loss to the Ravens the night before.
Yes, everything was going their way, until the game was played of course.
From the opening kickoff the Eagles appeared flat on special teams and offense. The defense was its usual spectacular self.
McNabb looked average, Westbrooke looked limpy, and Andy Reid's play calling was predictable and lackluster.
So after the catch that was 1-yd short the Eagles playoff chances are grim at best.
They need to WIN, and have the BUCS, and BEARS LOSE! (which is both unlikely)
So what does this mean for the Big 3 of the Eagles. McNabb is unhappy and the fans favorite player is always the back-up player (but with Kolb not playing well at all, maybe they missed on Kolb and they need McNabb or another QB).
Ex- Falcon head coach Jim Mora Sr. said he stayed in Atlanta a year too long and maybe Andy Reid is suffering from the safe fate. For the second straight year Reid will have just missed the playoffs and this team has the talent to win the superbowl.
As for B-West, he is phenomenal but turning 30 by the end of next season and the Eagles lack of a power run game perhaps drafting a RB in the first round makes the most sense.
I just hope they draft in the first round this year!!!!
