In a battle of 2-4 teams, the Eagles travel to Minnesota to play the Vikings in what will probably be the pivotal game of the season. The Eagles are 1.5 point favorite.
It is this blogger's opinion that if the Eagles don't win, the season is pretty much over, as the next few weeks they have some pretty tough games, save for the Miami Dolphins on the 18th, and if the Eagles are to salvage the season, they must pretty much win out the remainder of the schedule, and the way this team is playing, that is a daunting task.
Should the Eagles lose today, I imagine the locals will start bellowing for Rookie QB Kevin Kolb. As much as I would like to see him get some playing time, I would hope that if the Eagles do decide to go with Kolb, I would start him at the Miami game.
The debate on whether McNabb will be back next year has already begun, the same with Coach Reid. Although owner Jeffrey Lurie came out publicly this week showing his support for the head coach, ironically the owner was silent on his support for McNabb. Which surprisingly. the local media didn't pick up on. (just an observation on my part)
Let's hope the Eagles come out strong today, and show some offense, and better defense, and most importantly win the game.
Next week the birds come back home for a prime time game against the Cowboys.
