So the Eagles will move to 4-2, 1-0 in the NFC East. It's a nice start to a tough stretch of three straight division games.

Not to discount this eventual win, but the Eagles will have a tougher task on Sunday when they host the Giants, even though the Giants have lost two consecutive games. New York is 5-2, 2-0 in the division. Dallas is 4-2, 0-1 in the East. The Birds have an opportunity to move atop the division, but it's been hard to predict which Eagles team will show up. This win aside, they have major issues on the offensive line, in the middle of the D, and possibly at running back. Can't imagine after suffering a concussion tonight that Westbrook will play on Sunday, even though I'm sure he'll want to. Andy Reid has done a good job over the years piecing together successful teams down the stretch, despite injuries. With an offense this explosive, he'll have a shot at doing it again.

It should be a fun week. All New York, all the time.

    Dear Ashley, Two things: Last night's game was NOT a nice start to a tough stretch of three straight division games; it was an uneven, uninspiring performance against a weak opponent, and it doesn't bode well for upcoming games against tough teams. Also, what do you mean when you refer to this "eventual" win? Eventful? Hardly. Eventual? It was already in the books when you wrote your blog. Confusing language there. With respect, RS
