Yet some how they're the fourth best team in the league? Their wins are against teams that are ranked 25 28 and 29 by espn. How can that possibly translate into them "flying high"? Certainly this is not the best one loss team in the league.

Yeah. Records aren't very important early season, but they are all that matters late season. Many "analysts" forget this phenomenon. The Eagles offense looks sharp right now. Very sharp, yet inconsistent at times. But with the defense playing like they are, they really aren't any threat to a good team. McNabb is at his best protecting a lead, and although is often assicotiated as a comeback QB, actually will make more mistakes when chasing by more than a TD. The Eagles will win games, maybe enough to eek into the playoffs (at the expense of everyones favorite team, Dallas), but come that murderers row of 3 consecutive divisional games on the road, won't look nearly as hot as they do now when they are beating up on the Green Bays and San Franciscos of the world.

Look for them to get ambushed in New Orleans in a few weeks. Drew Brees has a Donovan's ass sized chip on his shoulder right now.
