Everything Eagles Green

Three of the four teams in the NFC East were victorious this Thanksgiving week, with the Washington Redskins being the only team to lose.

They fell to the New York Giants by a score of 23-7 on Sunday afternoon after inducting deceased safety Sean Taylor into their Ring of Fame.

Earlier this week the Dallas Cowboys knocked off the struggling Seattle Seahawks 34-9 in Dallas.

The final game within the division saw the Eagles beat the Arizona Cardinals by a whopping score of 48-20 at Lincoln Financial Field Thanksgiving day and night.

The Giants are now 11-1 on the season while the Cowboys are 8-4, the Redskins are 7-5 and the Eagles are 6-5-1 and still in last place.

The Eagles, after playing Thanksgiving night, have a long week ahead of them in preparation for their game against the New York Giants next Sunday.

They beat the Arizona Cardinals 48-20 at Lincoln Financial Field, where Donovan McNabb threw for four touchdowns and seemingly figured himself out after being benched in Baltimore.

The Eagles now have over a week to prepare for the G-Men, who face the Washington Redskins this Sunday before hosting the Eagles next week.

The Eagles fell to the Giants earlier this season by a score of 36-31 at home.

The Birds have to win out to grab the final Wild Card spot in the NFC, which seems almost impossible to do.

They might be in a better situation if they had not tied the Cincinnati Bengals 13-13 a couple of weeks ago.

Their record stands at 6-5-1. It could be 7-5-0, which would place them a bit closer to the playoffs than they are now.

A win?

I am just as surprised as everyone else in the Delaware Valley is that the Eagles actually beat the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night for their sixth win of the season.

They are now 6-5-1 for 2008.

Don’t get excited folks, they still have almost no shot at making the playoffs, since they need to leapfrog about five different teams to grab the final Wild Card spot.

The team’s 48-20 trouncing of the Cardinals was impressive to say the least.

The defense picked off Kurt Warner three times, twice in the first quarter, on the first two drives of the game for the Cardinals.

Joselio Hanson got the first pick, starting for the injured Asante Samuel, his first of his career.

Donovan McNabb was almost perfect, one week after his benching in Baltimore, as he threw four touchdown passes.

He completed 27 of 39 attempts for 260 and no interceptions thrown or fumbles lost. He was only sacked once. McNabb also rushed for 24 yards on four carries.

The Eagles take on the New York Giants, at Giant Stadium, on December 7th.
