Eagle-Tribune’s Mike Muldoon has a good read in today’s newspaper saying he’d take the Redeem Team over the Dream Team any day.
I’m not sure I agree, but the premise is these guys really wanted to win, had more pride than the two teams before them, and showed class.
I believe Coach K deserves a lion’s share [...]

Matt Gutierrez does what Matt Cassel couldn’t, move his team down the field against the Eagles reserves.
Chad Jackson, let’s be positive, makes a pair of nice catches to step forward for the game’s “Patrick Pass Award” | that is the Patriot most impactful against the opposition’s scrubbinis.
Thanks for paying heed to my words over the [...]

Did anyone catch John Lynch, with the angle, getting outrun by the immortal Quinton Demps on that 101-yard kick return? Ouch, now those are the legs of an old man.
This is a team feeling the short week with just four days off between games.
Tough to find any positives yet. Still, it’s not as bad as [...]

If Matt Cassel was an old West gunslinger, he wouldn’t have been around by sundown.
Big fella, take your drop, look and fire. He’s reading defenses like Rohan Davey right now, and that’s not a good thing.
1-of-2 for 8 yards and a punt.
I’m telling you, Matt Gutierrez gets an early call tonight.

Can anyone cover here? Donovan McNabb, throwing to immortals like Jason Avant and Hank Baskett, hitting 4 of 7 for 45 yards on the opening field goal drive.
By the way, on third-and-goal, McNabb badly missed Jason Avant, who double-moved and easily shook Fernando Bryant, instead McNabb tried to jam it into triple coverage.
Avant [...]

It’s a rather vocal philly contingent of writers here, and they’re drilling everything about the Eagles up and down.
If you’re a fan of wide receiver play, you might want to switch over to the NFL network and another game.
The Eagles are resting starters Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis.
You won’t see much of Randy Moss or [...]

First off, you wonder about Matt Cassel, the greeting he’ll get and what Bill Belichick will subject him to.
Personally, I get the feeling that it might actually be Matt Gutierrez’ turn for a little bit of the QB action, since he got the DNP in Tampa.
Second, it’s the corners on this team, whom I am [...]
