Title: EAGLES Week 14 Analysis
Post by Philly on Dec 7^th, 2002, 12:58am

Here's the analysis from sunny Denver. Don't you wish you were here Steg?

The Eagles have shown an amazing resiliency this year. They handle adversity like no other team in the league. They have bounced back from embarrassing losses. They have faced the loss of their starting quarterback, twice, and won each game. The Eagles have also shown a trend this year. Win three games, lose one that they shouldn't. Guess which week we're in now? As much as it pains me, I think the Eagles are in for a let-down against a team they have no reason to lose to. But don't worry, they'll run the table after this one.

Now for the predictions…

QB:
Feeley has the ability, but not the experience. He did everything he could last week not to lose the game. He did nothing to help win the game.

RB:
The Seahawks have the worst run defense in the league. The Eagles should be able to exploit this weakness.

WR:
Don't expect much from the receivers corps this week.

TE:
Chad Lewis (along with the RBs) are the best bet for production in the passing game.

K:
He's a stud. Keep starting him.

Def:
Should do enough to score you some decent fantasy points. I'd be wary of Alexander breaking a big one though.

Feeley - 175 PaY, 15 RuY, 1 TD, 2 INT {12}
Staley - 50 RuY, 40 ReY {9}
Levens - 60 RuY, 20 ReY {8}
Pinkston - 35 ReY {3}
Thrash - 20 ReY, 30 RuY {5}
Freeman - 10 ReY {1}
Lewis - 40 ReY, 1 TD {10}
Akers - 1-1 XP, 2-2 FG {7}
Defense - 270 YA, 16 PA, 5 Sacks, 1 INT
*Points based on standard performance league scoring.

Final Score:
Eagles 13
Seahawks 16

Fortunately I was wrong about the final score. Everything was pointing towards an Eagles letdown, but they played well enough to win and Feeley did not hurt the team and actually looked good.

The defense allowed a lot more yardage than I expected, although most of that was catchup yards against a prevent defense.

It looks as though Pinkston is emerging as the Eagles #1 receiver over the past half of the season. Thrash still gets a look here and there, and even got a TD this week, but is proving to be too inconsistent to start in smaller leagues.

Apparently Staley is still the #1 guy at RB, although in previous weeks (following his big games) Levens seemed to be stealing some carries.
