The questions I have:

Did they just have one of those games? or
Is Philly not as good this year? or
Did THEY just have one of those days? or
Is McNabb hurt A LOT worse than they are leading on?

In order-

For the Wild Card, yes. For the division, maybe.

This was definitely "one of those games". That doesn't mean there won't be more of "those games", so keep your eyes on the Cowboys.

Philly is categorically not as good as last year. They aren't as good as starters, and they aren't nearly as deep, especially defensively.

This was definitely "one of those games". That doesn't mean there won't be more of "those games", so keep your eyes on the Eagles.

McNabb has been reported to have a sports hernia, a bruised sternum, and a shin injury. If there have been more injuries that haven't been reported, he would be dead. The problem is that if McNabb says he's ready to go, he's earned the right to do so - and the team has no one who can tell him otherwise, becuase they know the chances of winning are better with McNabb at 80% then with Detmer at 110%. He needs the rest, though, and it may be more than the bye week can provide.
