Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!
I think we win. But my reasons are less football oriented and more personality driven.
1) the Eagles just beat the f***in Colts. That is a pretty good high to come off of.
2) the Skins team looks in disarray(but my gut says they aren't).
I don't think that the Eagles are as much of a front running team as the Cowboys, but I think that they will tend to be over-confident.
I think Vick will play a little more fearless "just to show them they didn't scare him", and that will lead to bad decisions.
Shanahan either was an idiot or evil genius with his benching McNabb. Since I rarely saw him do idiotic things in Denver (mind numbing yes, idiotic no) I think he knows what he was doing, both for that game, and for the season. McNabb has generally responded well when benched, and I think we are going to see a high performance month in November from him.
Yeah Cinci lost, but being a home underdog against a division rival, when you beat them once at their place. I think Shanahan and company will come out and put quite a display on.
The Eagles are not a thundering herd, and will make mistakes. We will just need to capitalize on them.
Ultimately, there's not a lot of football analytics that are going to "prove" we will win, but hopefully my smoke and mirrors have convinced even a legal mind like Joe. This is a game of who wants it most, and I believe when the final whistle is blown, McNabb will be kneeling with the ball and the W.
Skins 24
Eagles 22.
