EAGLES....................Week 17 Analysis

The Eagles stumbled a bit last week and it probably cost them home field throughout the play-offs to the Rams.
They'll get back on track this weekend against the Skins.
McNabb: Should have a great game to get ready for the post-season.
25-35 339 yards, 2 TDs, 4 carries-27 yards
Westbrook: Will be the feature back again this week.
16 carries-102 yards, 1 TD, 3 catches-28 yards
Staley: Will still get his.
7 carries-35 yards, 2 catches-22 yards, 1 TD
Buckhalter: Back from his suspension. Will get a few carries.
3 carries-9 yards, 1 catch-25 yards
Pinkston: Won't repeat last week's effort.
2 catches-30 yards
Mitchell: Go-to guy this week?
4 catches-58 yards, 1 TD
Thrash: Average effort against his old team.
3 catches-29 yards
Lewis: Carrying the load in LJ Smith's absence.
3 catches-33 yards
Akers: Won't falter this week.
4-4 XP, 2-2 FG
Defense: Will suffer without Emmons, but Ike Reese is a capable back up.
13 points allowed, 120 rush yards, 140 pass yards, 2 INTs, 4 sacks, 1 FR
Final Score:
Eagles 34
Redskins 13

Solid game for McNabb. Gotta love those 4 TDs, especially if he was starting for you in a FF play-off game. McNabb is ready for the NFL play-offs. He's healthy and he's confident.

Ouch. This one hurts. Thank God the Eagles have been running 3 RBs all season. There is a small chance that Westbrook could play with his torn triceps, but it seems very unlikely. The Eagles will miss his speed and quickness out of the backfield and as a punt returner.
Quote:Staley: Will still get his.
7 carries-35 yards, 2 catches-22 yards, 1 TD |
|
5 carries-7 yards, 5 catches-56 yards
Staley got involved in the passing game and was not effective as a rusher this week.
Quote:Buckhalter: Back from his suspension. Will get a few carries.
3 carries-9 yards, 1 catch-25 yards |
|
13 carries-54 yards, 3 catches-16 yards, 1 TD
The benefactor of the Westbrook injury. Should continue to get most of the carries in the play-offs. Showed excellent effort near the goal-line (as usual).
Quote:Pinkston: Won't repeat last week's effort.
2 catches-30 yards |
|
3 catches-74 yards
This is a surprise. A decent showing to follow his biggest effort last week. Maybe the Todd Pinkston from 2002 has returned?
Quote:Mitchell: Go-to guy this week?
4 catches-58 yards, 1 TD |
|
4 catches-47 yards, 1 TD
McNabb is gaining confidence in Freddie, and Freddie is delivering. This should be setting the foundation for a bigger role next season.
Quote:Thrash: Average effort against his old team.
3 catches-29 yards |
|
2 catches-8 yards
Washington secondary clamped down on him. He will be used as punt and kick returner as well, so he may be stretched thin.
Quote:Lewis: Carrying the load in LJ Smith's absence.
3 catches-33 yards |
|
1 catch-3 yards, 1 TD
Made the most of his one catch, considering nobody bothered to cover him on the play. LJ Smith did return to action this week (surprisingly) and contributed a couple short catches.
Quote:Akers: Won't falter this week.
4-4 XP, 2-2 FG |
|
4-4 XP, 1-1 FG
Perfect once again.
Quote:Defense: Will suffer without Emmons, but Ike Reese is a capable back up.
13 points allowed, 120 rush yards, 140 pass yards, 2 INTs, 4 sacks, 1 FR |
|
7 points allowed, 79 rush yards, 199 pass yards, 1 INT, 4 sacks, 2 FF (none recovered)
Defense played very well. Washington has no rushing game, so that helped, although the absence of Troy Vincent clearly hurt the Eagles as Coles was able to get open repeatedly.
Quote:Final Score:
Eagles 34

Eagles 31
Redskins 7
I had no worries about this game. Washington is a team in a shambles and needs serious help. The Eagles stepped up and their win, combined with a Lions upset of the Rams, gives the Eagles the top NFC seed and home-field throughout the NFC play-offs. I'm sure Eagles fans are hoping for Dallas to upset Carolina next week to set up a third (and deciding) Eagles-Cowboys showdown for the year. If Carolina wins (as expected), the Eagles will most likely play Green Bay (provided they get past Seattle).
