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

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.

Well Reid's play calling has not helped. I still never remember the Eagles letting a team punch it in from inside the five as easily as the Redskins and Cowboys have the past two weeks. That has always been the key to this defense. They are stingy and give up very few touchdowns. I just wonder if this was true last year, but was masked by how good the offense was playing.
