In the Jags ranking it says:

Credit the Jacksonville defense for not making excuses despite a rash of injuries. 'We got out butts kicked. Plain and simple,' DE Paul Spicer said.

Is this true, were they injured? Could this have been part of our success?

and if so why wasn't anyone saying that during the game....people love to take credit away from us...

Anyways it makes me sick that they still have the Jags above us, and refuse to give us credit.

both of their starting DEs were out (one's on IR, and the other was just hurt). Matt Jones also really didn't play in the game due to a hamstring.

We did fine without Springs and Salave'a.

How often do players say, "We would have won, but we're really banged up. If all our starter's had played we would have blown them out." The Jacksonville player did what every player in the league does, IMHO. No credit.

As for the Eagles, they are better than last year, but the usual suspects are getting a little carried away. They have beaten really, really bad teams and BLEW a game against the Giants which they should have won. Too many people are a little too quick to make grandiose statements about Donovan and they all seem top work for ESPN. Dan Patrick was ranting yesterday as though what Donovan had done this year proves once and for all that he is on par with the all time greats. Please. Still innacurate. Still plays without emotion. He will not be able to throw that pass to L.J Smith against good teams and then what will he have? They still can't run the football which is why they gave up the lead to the Giants. Yes, they are better and he is better because he is healthy, but to me that doesn't mean they are Super Bowl bound. This drives me nuts, because the Donovanists are going to push me to root for the Cowboys this weekend, because I don't think I can bear listening to them talk about how the Eagles have proved they are better without T.O. blah, blah, blah. The very idea that the Eagles were the victims of Owens is laughable. They were the ones that signed him. Caveat Emptor. They made an aggressive play for him when we all thought he was going to Baltimore. Now they're the victims. I don't think so.
