The Eagles season could last two more days. Then again, they might live for another week.
All the Birds have to do to keep their season alive is stroll up the Jersey Turnpike Sunday and knock off the New York Giants.
The Eagles continue to cling to their slim playoff hopes. They can’t afford another loss.
They are operating week to week. Win and they live for another seven days. Lose and the fat lady sings. You can start the Kevin Kolb era.
The Eagles won’t face one of the guys who seems to torture them. That would be Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Burress shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun last weekend. That earned him a suspension by the team and a spot on the non-sports injury list. That effectively ends his season, including the playoffs.
You can make the argument that the Giants are distracted and don’t need the game nearly as much as the Eagles, although a win would lock up the NFC East for them.
I remain unconvinced the Eagles have turned any corners, despite their showing Thanksgiving night against the Cardinals.
Check back tomorrow for my dreaded Saturday Eagles pick.
Here’s a hint: I don’t feel real good about this game.
