As happens from time to time, threads get corrupted. I noticed that Philly's "Eagles Week 8 MNF Analysis" had become so. I was able to salvage the write-up. If you ever notice this happening, contact me A.S.A.P. about it. I should typically be able to salvage all the work. 
Without further ado, I present you with the "Eagles Week 8 MNF Analysis" by Master Philly:
Last week was a biggie. I nailed the victory, though I overestimated most of the offensive production (Duce excluded).
This is another big game. There the Eagles had the intangibles in their favor last week, the G-Men have them in their favor this week. The Giants are coming off a bye following a disappointing loss to the Falcons. The Giants have double-revenge in their favor as the Eagles escaped with two (somewhat lucky) victories last year. The Eagles are coming off a hard-fought, emotional and physical win against the Bucs.
That said, the Eagles are a better team, but the Giants will play them tough.
QB: McNabb is the cog that makes the Eagles offense run. No matter what else happens, McNabb is responsible for it.
McNabb - 220 PaYds, 75 RuYds, 2 TDs
RB: RB has been a confusing position for the Eagles all year. Staley? Levens? Westbrook? Staley has been fairly steady this year. You knew what you were getting from him and he was an adequate #2 guy. I think now he has proven that the post-injury label is gone. Levens and Westbrook are no longer in the picture and any points they get are an aberration.
Staley - 60 RuYds, 60 ReYds, 1 TD
WR: Things are still muddled at WR. It seems fairly evident that Freeman is not getting involved in the offense any time soon. The real question is who is the #1 target? Thrash? Pinkston? It goes back and forth, it's Thrash's turn.
Thrash - 80 ReYds, 1 TD<br>Pinkston - 40 ReYds
TE: Chad Lewis had 2 Pro-Bowl years leading into this one. He's been pretty quiet this year, though much of it can be pinned on a lingering minor injury. Barring any injury. he'll be improved the rest of this season.
Lewis - 30 ReYds, 1 TD
K: I'll spare you my effusive praise of this guy this week...
Akers - 3-3 XPs, 3-3 FGs
Defense: Jeremy Shockey came out Friday and said that the Eagles secondary was overrated and said that the Eagles know they can't beat the Giants. He guaranteed a Giants win. I don't think that bulletin-board material can lead a team to victory, but it certainly won't help the Giants when the Eagles may be a bit more fired up now.
280 YdsAllwd, 5 Sacks, 2 INTs, 1 FF
 Solid Starters: McNabb, Staley, Akers, Defense, Thrash
 Adequate Backups: Pinkston, Lewis
 Riding the Pine: Levens, Freeman, Westbrook
Final Score: Eagles 30 - Giants 26
Take the over!

First Stern, now this.  Shockey's got a few things to learn. 
Good job as always. I like what your saying 'bout Duce. Let the man have the job, and he'll come thru.
Would it be okay with you if we gave Duce's td to McNabb? Three scores would sure be sweet. |

Way off on the passing yards and missed by a TD, but I figured he'd run some on them.
Staley - 60 RuYds, 60 ReYds, 1 TD (18 pts)
Actual - 126 RuYds, 37 ReYds, 0 TD (15 pts)
Underestimated him a bit, but you got 15 points instead of the predicted 18. The real surprise was the ease with which he got those yards. Levens (5-33) and Westbrook (3-29) made a surprise appearance this week.
Thrash - 80 ReYds, 1 TD (14 pts)
Pinkston - 40 ReYds (4 pts)
Actual - Thrash - 69 ReYds, 0 TD (6 pts)
Pinkston - 20 ReYds (2 pts)
Close on the Thrash yardage, but no scores. Not a good air game for the Eagles against the Giants.
Lewis - 30 ReYds, 1 TD (9 pts)
Actual - 3 yds (on the 2 pt. conversion) (2 pts)
Where'd the TEs go for the Eagles this year?
Akers - 3-3 XPs, 3-3 FGs (12 pts)
Actual - 0-0 XPs, 3-4 FGs (9 pts)
The XPs were not his doing, but he could have added that 50+ yarder he missed. Oh well, there went his perfect season.
Defense:
280 YdsAllwd, 5 Sacks, 2 INTs, 1 FF
Actual - 354 YdsAllwd, 2 Sacks, 0 INTs, 3 FF
They got a lot of prevent yardage in the air towards the end. 3 points allowed is much better than I predicted. I didn't realize that Collins has never thrown an INT against the Eagles since he's been a Giant. Go figure...
Final Score: Eagles 30 - Giants 26
Actual - Eagles 17 - Giants 3
