OK, which Eagles team will show up this week, the one that trounced the Giants last week and looked like the class of the NFC, or the one that flew across the country and laid a giant egg against the hapless Raiders?
That is the Eagles' mantra this season: Consistently inconsistent.
Now they're back in the Linc for a prime time Sunday night showdown against the hated Cowboys.
The NFL schedule makers have given Philly fans a huge present. The Cowboys are the perfect antidote for the hangover many fans are suffering from with the Phils defeat in the World Series.
The Cowboys are in twn, the teams are tied for first place in the NFC, and all is right with the sports world.
This one is a game of matchups. The Eagles powerful, quick-strike offense should be able to put points on the board aagainst the Cowboys, even if Brian Westbrook is not operating on all cylinders. If nothing else, last week proved just how many weapons this team now features on offense, including rookie running back LeSean McCoy.
The big qeustion for the Birds will be on defense and if they can put enough pressure on Dallas QB Tony Romo to get him out of the rhythm he's been on the past three weeks. Romo has not thrown an interception during that span, but he'll be facing a lore more pressure this week. Look for a couple more turnovers for the Birds' opportunistic defense.
It says here the Eagles prevail. The Birds take control of the NFC East, and it's on to the playoffs. The Phillies' disappointing loss will be a thing of the past.
It's football season.
Make it Eagles 29, Cowboys 19.
Last Week: Who knew? The Eagles unloaded on the Giants in a game that was supposed to be a lot closer but was really over after the Eagles first drive of the day.
Season Record: 4-3, I'm now a game behind the Birds, who are cruising at 5-2.
