The Philadelphia Eagles

Seven weeks in the NFL season. A McNabb injury. A bad loss to the Raiders and many that I talk to have written the Eagles off. Maybe because the Phillies are going for their second straight World Series title. Maybe the Reid McNabb era has run its course. Disgusted by the signing of Michael Vick could have left a bad taste with some. I'm a big McNabb supporter. I have been for years. I still am. He's 3-1 as a starter. He has weapons like Jackson, Maclin, Celek, and Westbrook when healthy. The defense has been pretty good. I'm not sure why so many feel the Birds stink. Their 4-2 and with a win over the Giants this weekend could be in first place. So why? The Eagles have a very tough stretch the next 5 or 6 weeks, but this is a team that bounces back from bad loses (Bengals & Skins last year) and comes through with some big wins against some good teams year after year. So I say everyone calm down, keep cheering for the Phils, and give the Birds a chance. I have a feeling...
