This year they have some confidence although that was kinda shot last week during the fluke loss.

You haven't paid much attention to the Andy Reid Eagles, have you?

The Eagles (sans 2005) rarely lose two games in a row. They are excellent at bouncing back. In 2002, the Eagles took a 21-0 lead into halftime against Tennesse and lost for the same reason they lost on Sunday - they let up. Did the loss shatter their confidence? No, they won their next three games by a combined score of 116-37.

Sure, that's 2002, and most of the players are different. But the mindset is the same.

With that being said, the 9ers look a lot better than last year. Bryant is a huge upgrade on the very soft Brandon Lloyd. Gore is lightyears ahead of Barlow. Smith with Turner, is lightyears ahead of where he was last year and Vernon Davis when healthy is a very strong weapon.

Um, so? How will that help the Niners stop McNabb? If anything, the Niners will put up points and force the Eagles to throw more - thus scoring more points.

Defensively, your right they aren't that strong. They need secondary help...

Ahhhh, so we agree. Ok.

I expect the Eagles to win....blah blah blah....nothing to do with fantasy....

I'm not sure where that rant came from, but it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Look, I'm not bashing the Niners, they are headed in the right direction. But the Eagles are liable to score a ton of points this week for reasons we both agree on, don't take it as a shot against your team.
