The Eagles showed they are the real deal as they traveled to Minnesota today, and bounced the Vikings right out of the playoffs. Hopefully Philly fans will start to notice how good of a QB McNabb really is. The difference in this game was the play of their the 2 QBs. Tarvaris Jackson was flat out awful, and the Vikings really need to address their QB situation going into next year, because other then him, they have a really good football team. I think that if the Patriots trade Cassel, that the Vikings will be first in line for his services.
Anyways, Philly didn't have much of a ground game, but their defense, and effective passing was enough to cruise past the Vikings. This was a very hard hitting game, but Philly showed once again that their defense is improving week by week. the game was basically over when Asante Samuel's got a 44-yard interception return of Tarvaris Jackson'n errant pass in the second quarter. Philly will now face a team they have seen a lot of in the New York Giants. I actually think that this will be a very close game, but I am not sure if the Eagles can get by a team like the Giants without any kind of running game. If their defense can keep stepping up anything can happen.
