Why Not The Eagles?

When the NFL Season started, I predicted the Eagles would finish 11-5. As things turned out, I wasn't that far off. They started off great, had a little bumpy road and finished the regular season as the hottest team in the NFC. When Donovan McNabb went down, most thought it was the end, but instead they went back to the basics. And now they are in position to make a run.

The Bears are the class of the NFC, but with Rex Grossman playing as eratic as he has plus all of the injuries on the Defensive side of the ball, The Bears will really have to rally to get to Miami.

The Saints have been the most consistent team in the NFC. Drew Brees is having a career year and possibly an MVP season. Sean Payton will win coach of the year. Can they keep it up? Are they due for a let down?

The Seahawks are lucky they are in the NFC West. Between injuries and pathetic play, they are lucky to be where they are. They have been here before, but are they ready to make a run?

The Cowboys are one big problem. TO has been more of a distraction than a consitent player. As good as his numbers are, they should be better, he led the NFL in dropped passes. Tony Romo is a first year QB and will make mistakes.

The Giants will go as far as Tiki Barber takes them. They have too many injuries and a lousy coach. Can they overcome all of these odds?

The Eagles have the best offensive line in the NFL. As long as the tackle, don't drop passes and don't give up the big play, the Eagles have a great chance to win the NFC.

So why not the Eagles?
