Eagles Flying, Dolphins Sunk


A month ago McNabb was benched, and the Eagles' season looked dead in the water.

What a difference a few weeks makes. Today they beat the Vikings decisively, 26-14, and McNabb threw for 300 yards, a touchdown, and a pick. That won't be good enough to beat the Giants next week, but it was more than enough to take down the Vikings.

As for the Baltimore/Miami game, who knows? I fell asleep when the Ravens were up 10-3 at the half. By the time I woke up, Baltimore had beaten them 27-9 in a walk. Miami looked bad. Completely outplayed. Pennington threw four picks and was involved in a fumble that took the Dolphins out of field goal range. As for the Ravens, rookie QB Joe Flacco only had to complete 9 out of 23 pass attempts to seal the deal, running in a 5-yard touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins had a great year, but it was a horrible ending. We'll see what Parcells does in the off-season to try and get this team over the bubble lest they slide back into mediocrity.
