It's not the Pats. It's the Eagles! Give Eagles credit. They are the reason Pats are not executing like their normal self. Eagles D is controlling the game with their aggressive play and hits.

Hey I'm not trying to take anything away from the Eagles D, they are playing really well... but there's also been a lot of dropped passes that are just in & out of the Pats receivers' hands...

I doubt they are taking it easy too, just an interesting thought...

Footsteps. From the Eagles secondary. They're hearing them.

The Eagles are really jammin the receivers on the line and messing up Brady's timing. That can account for some of the drops.

21 points with 7 minutes to go. I like my odds.

Wonder how much Vegas will lose on this game.

They wont.... They move the line constantly to ensure they get equal betting on both sides of the line.... They win no matter what the outcome, because they get the 5% vig

They'll probably end up on top because most people probably bet on the Pats to cover as they have been all year long..

But will Feeley get the starting spot or will McNabb come back and lead the Eagles to mediocrity at best? Feeley looks better today than McNabb has looked all season.
