Re: Eagles a team to fade the rest of the way?

This all falls on the Eagles defense to me. In years past they won these kind of games because the defense did not allow those touchdowns. Lito and Sheldon Brown have been really bad this year. Plus, it looks like Dawkins has lost a step or two (he got lit up by Peerless Price). This has really hurt their blitz packages and allowed them give up alot of big plays.

Actually I think the Eagles defense played very well the last 2 weeks. They only gave up 17 and 14 points the last 2 weeks, which should be enough to win both games. This really was McNabb's, and I think Andy Reid for calling a pass play that has such a high risk of disaster as well, fault. Reggie Brown ran the correct route on the play; it was McNabb that misread the coverage and threw the INT.
