Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 31 December 2006 at 9:59 pm

Jeff Garcia completed 1 of 3 passes for 29 yards and Brian Westbrook carried the ball 1 time for 3 yards and caught Garcia’s only completion before the pair sat on the bench for the rest of the game.  AJ Feeley looked great for the Eagles as he completed 22 of 33 passes for 321 yards with 3 TDs.  Ryan Moats carried the ball 11 times for 22 yards (2.0 ypc).  Reno Mahe carried the ball 3 times for 14 yards (4.7 ypc).  Hank Baskett had an awesome game with 7 receptions for 177 yards and a TD.  Greg Lewis added 4 catches for 52 yards.  Rookie Jason Avant caught 4 passes for 40 yards and a TD.  TE Matt Schobel caught 2 passes for 24 yards and a TD.

The defense didn’t play to well for the Eagles today.  The Falcons ran the ball 34 times for 159 yards (4.7 ypc).  The Falcons also completed 23 of 35 passes for 219 net yards passing.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 29 December 2006 at 1:43 am
The Falcons have lost 2 games in a row but can make the playoffs with a win and help.  The Eagles are soaring as they’ve won 4 games in a row and can clinch the NFC East with a win.

The Falcons offensive strength (running the ball) matches up perfect with the Eagles weakness (defending the run).  So look for the Falcons to run the ball almost every play on Sunday.  Warrick Dunn (1,082 yards rushing), Michael Vick (1,022 yards rushing) and rookie Jerious Norwood (570 yards rushing) should all have good games against the Eagles soft run defense that has allowed 134.9 yards rushing and 4.4 yards per carry so far this season.  Michael Vick must be careful if he decides to throw the ball to Alge Crumpler because he’ll likely be matched up against big-time safety Brian Dawkins.

The Eagles would prefer to get a lead passing the ball and then grind out a win.  Jeff Garcia (96.2 QB Rating) has been fantastic since taking over for Donovan McNabb.  The Falcons are vulnerable to the pass as they allow 221.2 net yards passing per game.  Look for Garcia to throw short stuff to LJ Smith and Brian Westbrook, and when the Falcons sneak up to try to stop that, whammo Garcia will throw the ball deep to Donte’ Stallworth and Reggie Brown.  Brian Westbrook (1,214 yards rushing) should find some running room against the Falcons who allow 107.6 yards rushing per game.

Look for the Eagles to get a quick lead and take the Falcons out of their running game.  I like the Eagles to win this game by about 10 points.

Eagles playoff scenarios

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Thursday 28 December 2006 at 7:49 pm

The Eagles have clinched a playoff berth.  Can clinch division with: 1) a win  2) a Dallas loss  3) a tie and a Dallas tie.

The Eagles can cap off an improbable run to the NFC East division crown with a win at home over the Falcons.  No one in their wildest dreams could have forcasted Jeff Garcia playing better than Donovan McNabb after he went down…..but that’s exactly what he’s done.

Eagles totally dominate the Cowboys 23-7

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Tuesday 26 December 2006 at 1:32 pm

The Eagles totally kicked the Cowboys butt on their home field.  The Eagles kept the ball away from the Cowboys as they had possession of the football for 37:06 of the football game.  The Eagles rolled up 426 yards of offense while the Cowboys could only muster up 201 total yards.  Jeff Garcia continued his fine play this season as he completed 15 of 23 passes for 238 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 7 times for 43 yards (6.1 ypc).  Brian Westbrook had a great game with 26 carries for 122 yards (4.7 ypc).  Correll Buckhalter backed him up with 8 carries for 38 yards (4.8 ypc) and a TD.  TE LJ Smith only caught 2 passes, but they were for 77 yards.  Donte Stallworth added 3 grabs for 51 yards.  TE Matt Schobel added 2 catches for 35 yards and a TD.

The defense played their best game of the season.  The Cowboys ran the ball 19 times for 83 yards (4.4 ypc), but the Eagles held the RBs to 41 yards rushing on 16 carries.  The Cowboys only completed 14 of 29 passes for 118 net yards passing and the Eagles held the “evil one”  T.O. to 2 catches for 23 yards.

The Eagles now can win the division with a win next week as they sit at 9-6 on the season with this win.
