One Game At A Time

With the Phillies season over,  the Eagles are going to have to step up big time tomorow and help lift the spirits of Philadelphia sports fans.  The Eagles season is truly not a lost cause, and as we stated earlier, if they can somehow find a way to win their next 2 games, the Birds will be very much alive.

First the Eagles will have to beat the 3-1 Bills tomorrow in Buffalo.  The Bills have had some early success this year including a last minute win against the New England Patriots.  But the Bills defense is in no way intimidating, and the I think the offense is finally going to break out.  The Bills have the fewest sacks in the league, and Vick is going to have a ton of time to pick apart the defense.

Defensively the Eagles haven't been as bad as people would like to think.  The Eagles just need to stay away from giving up the big plays and try to keep the game in front of them.  Juan Castillo needs to figure things out in a hurry.  There is way too much talent on this defense for them to be getting burned this badly.  If the Eagles continue to give up long runs, it may be time for Castillo to step up and eradicate the wide-9 implemented by Jim Washburn.  The wide 9 formation only works on teams that have linebackers, and the Eagles clearly have no talent in the middle of the defense.

The Eagles have looked awful thus far, but hopefully tomorrow will be different.  Hopefully the Eagles can begin their comeback, and give this heartbroken city something to cheer about.
