Do you think the eagles will be better without McNabb playing tonight? What are some key things that the Eagles will need to do in order to come even close to beating the Patriots? Do you think the Eagles' season is over yet?

I believe they do have a good chance. I believe in the underdog, because the Eagles will come out motivated and prepared... I think the Patriots will underestimate the Eagles tonight, like LSU underestimated Arkansas yesterday.
In order to win, the Eagles will have to play hard-nosed, gritty football - they're simply going to have to play ugly. They'll need to limit turnovers and blitz unexpectedly.
The Eagle's season is definitely not over - they still have that offensive power.

Chance? Yes, there is always a chance. Without McNabb? Not good. To stop the Pats they need to pound Moss into the dirt with 2-3 DB's and then find ways to cover their other dangerous receivers.
Then, they need to find a way to score against one of the best defenses in the league. Not looking good for the game or the season. Add in Andy Reid's personal matters, and the fact that McNabb may leave after the season= Bad morale, bad play, uncertain future. Reality hurts, I know this as a Seahawks fan from way back.

Being an Eagles fan they have no shot. They have a terrible receiving core and a backup throwing to them. For a team that loves to pass you would think they would have players better than Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis. The only way they win is if the Patriots bus gets wedged in between an overpass. Just as that happens a tanker filled with superglue spills and bonds the bus windows and doors shut and even then they would still find a way to win.

72-10 Patriots. The eagles do not stand a chance. Unfortunately they are so over matched that New England will be chastised for scoring close to 100 points. What to do? damned if you do and damned if your 3rd string team scores 30 points in the 4th

the thing is, McNabb ALWAYS gets hurt.
in fact, last year when he got hurt playing the titans [[GO TITANS]]
jeff garcia took over, and really kicked some ***.
i dont think McNabb should have been starting this year, and they really need to invest a 1st round draft pick on a good QB, such a matt ryan, out of boston college.
and no, they have no chance, at all.
how about that deven hester for bears???
1 punt return and 1 kick return tonight!

That is hilarious!!
I don't think God could outscore the Pats at this point.
But I wish luck to any team that thinks they can.
Well, except for the Steelers. (Browns fan 4 life)
And quite frankly if you are an AFC team you have no chance of winning the division for the next 10-15 yers between Manning and Brady. Oh well maybe next DECADE!! (lol)

There aren't enough people in their defense to double cover each receiver in a four wide receiver set. You can't stop Top Brady and The Patriots...the only thing you can do, is slow them down. An effective pass rush is the only way to slow down Brady.

Really.... Really..., McNab is out, not that he is even half way as good as he once was.
I cannot stand the Patriots and would love to say yes the Eagles have a chance, but no they don't.
45-10 Patriots
