PF,

I thought the Eagles played 'bend but break a lot of the time anyway' defense. I don't know that they have the personnel to really play anything better than that against the Patriots. Seems like they were willing to take their chances with Welker instead of Moss - and as hoyasaxa or wtf his name is (there's like 3 guys with the same name on here) notes, the Eagles weren't playing the doormat defense perfected by Buffalo and others. Remember this team put up a bunch of points on Dallas on the road - they're pretty good, imo.

What upsets me is that the Eagles put together a really terrific game plan to beat the Patriots and couldn't do it - I know the Giants will [censored] it up with punts on 4th and 1 at the 50 and bad field goal attempts and deep kickoffs and I'm already tilted just thinking about it.
