I'm a homer but I'm a realist also, we won't make the playoffs. D is horrible and our offense is still too inconsistent .

Oh I agree...it isn't looking too good.

My only hope is we find a way to play better on offense and our defense against the eagles was just an anomaly.

If our O-line can give Mcnabb enough time to make the big throws downfield,we might have a shot. We certainly have a good running game and with Williams and ATV are pretty good. Plus we will be getting Portis back who is a great blocker.

But regardless of how good or bad anybody thinks our defense is...if we don't score points,we ain't gonna do it.

and we MUST improve our 3rd down %
We scored 28 points against the eagles and were like 0-12 or something like that on 3rd down in that game...

Imagine how good the offense could be if we converted?

I will say this though...we are a hell of a lot more exciting now with Mcnabb.
We just need to pull it all together.
