The Eagles scored 13 points in the 4th quarter to pull out a win last Thursday Night.  Donovan McNabb was very solid in this game as he completed 21 of 36 passes for 244 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Michael Vick made his first appearance in the NFL since coming out of the pokey and he looked solid completing 4 of 4 passes for 19 yards.  Kevin Kolb was also good at the end of the game for the Eagles as he completed 10 of 18 passes for 102 yards with 1 TD pass.  Rookie RB Lesean McCoy led the way on the ground for the Eagles in this game with 31 yards rushing on 11 carries (2.8 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 5 passes for 17 yards (3.4 avg) in this contest.  WR Jason Avant led the way in the air for the Eagles in this game as he caught 5 passes for 92 yards (18.4 avg).  The Eagles finished up with 431 yards of offense in this game (66 rushing, 365 passing).

Linebacker Moise Fokou led the way for the Birds on defense as he had 7 tackles.  The Jags finished up with 230 total yards of offense in this game (64 rushing, 166 passing).

The Eagles have lost starting left guard Todd Herremans for the first few weeks of the season due to a stress fracture.  Herremans played in all 16 games (15 starts) for the Eagles last season.  He has now played in 52 games (50 starts) in his 4 year career with the Eagles.  25-year old Nick Cole will step in for Herremans and he is huge at 6′0″, 350 pounds.  Cole played in 16 games (5 starts) for the Eagles last season.  He has now played in 48 games (6 starts) in three seasons with the Eagles.  The Eagles will likely suffer a dropoff without Herremans in the starting lineup but they appear confident that Cole will do a good job for them.

The Eagles have signed 26-year old TE Tony Curtis.  Curtis played in all 16 games (6 starts) for the rival Cowboys last season and he caught 8 passes for 32 yards (4.0 avg).  Curtis has now played in 36 games (6 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 11 passes for 50 yards (4.5 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Curtis is a good target in the Red Zone and he should be able to help out with inside info on the Cowboys.

The Eagles have signed 24-year old OLB Curtis Gatewood to a contract.  Gatewood played in 6 games (0 starts) as a rookie for the Chiefs last season and he made 2 tackles.  His best chance to make the Eagles’ opening day roster is on special teams.

The Eagles just couldn’t keep up with the Colts in this game.  Donovan McNabb started the game at QB and he completed 5 of 7 passes for 77 yards and a TD pass but he also lost a fumble.  A.J. Feeley was next up for the Eagles and he was outstanding again completing 16 of 20 passes for 136 yards with a TD pass.  Adam DiMechele finished out this game at QB for the Eagles and he completed 14 of 22 passes for 130 yards with 1 TD pass.  Eldra Buckley led the Eagles in rushing again in this game with 10 yards on 2 carries (5.0 ypc) but he also lost a fumble.  WRs Brandon Gibson (4 rec, 49 yards) and Desean Jackson (2 rec, 46 yards) each caught a TD pass in this game.  The Eagles threw for 320 yards in this game but they only rushed for 23 yards on 17 carries (1.4 ypc).

Linebacker Moise Fokou led the way for the Eagles defense in this game with 4 tackles.  The Colts finished up with 336 yards in this game (62 rushing, 274 passing).
