Eagles Win Third Straight, But Questions Remain

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Cleveland Browns 30-10 last night in yet another subpar Monday Night Football game. I keep hearing about how good the Eagles defense looked after giving up less than 200 total yards--and they did look good--but can we keep in mind that they were playing the Browns...with Ken Dorsey at quarterback? Sorry, but every time the Eagles are brought into NFC playoff conversation I instantly think of two things: 1. Terrible play calling in short-yardage situations; and 2. Donovan McNabb not winning a big game. Perhaps giving up 36 points to Baltimore and rookie QB Joe Flacco three weeks ago was indeed the wakeup call this team needed, but keep in mind that they played a fading Kurt Warner-led Cardinals team the next week followed by a Giants team re-adjusting to life without Plax prior to Monday night's game against lowly Cleveland. Sorry to temper the enthusiasm Eagles fans, but your season will ultimately be defined in the next two weeks against the 'Skins and 'Boys. It's playoffs or bust for Andy Reid's squad.
