Re: Eagles at 6-1....
With TO the Eagles are a dominant team.
Without him they are still the best team in the East. They just become a bit more vunerable without him because they win mainly close games. He is there, he is playing.
In my mind the only way the Eagles are not in the Super Bowl is this scenario:
Week 9 @ Denver (or maybe Week 4 @ KC) Philly takes a trip out west and has some problems. McNabb is a little off, the defense gives up some huge rushing yards. They lose the game. After the game TO starts whining about how the QB is hitting him in the feet blah blah. Reid suspends him for 2 games.
During his two game suspention TO is part of the Fox pre-game show where he proceeds to rip the whole organization. He than takes the Keyshawn Treatment.
This seems a bit far fetched, but then again who thought we would see him doing sit-ups on his front lawn. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
In other words I think this is a good bet. If you shop the lines it will be even better.
