FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Walkthrough: December of Destiny
Last Monday at midnight, the odometer flipped. The warranty expired. Fairy Godmother hooked her wand to the charger and went to bed. It was December 1. It was time for the Cowboys to stink, and for the Eagles to surge.

Eagles' chance to 'put their mark' on division | Philadelphia Daily News | 12/10/2009
"Right now the Philadelphia Eagles are playing as well as anybody and they are going to have a chance to put their mark on this division," analyst Cris Collinsworth said.

Eagles Notes: Joselio Hanson overjoyed to be back | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/10/2009
"I compare it to when I got released by the 49ers, and I was out for the whole year," the Eagles cornerback said yesterday before his first practice since returning from a four-game suspension. "It was even worse because it was something so innocent. It was tough."

Tom Coughlin congratulates Andy Reid | Philadelphia Daily News | 12/10/2009
Fired in Jacksonville, embattled in New York, Tom Coughlin knows how tenuous an NFL head-coaching job can be. He looks down the New Jersey Turnpike and sees Andy Reid, Eagles Coach for Life, and Coughlin admires. "Andy Reid is an excellent football coach who is very deserving," Coughlin said. "He obviously has the loyalty of his owner, and vice-versa. He's to be applauded for that. However you want to look at it, it's a tribute to his staff and the job that they've done and continue to do."

I'm nervous about this one

a) we alwaysss play like crap on Sunday night

b) it seems like every time we’ve had a chance to separate ourselves from the pack this year we F it up.

c) The giants are much healthier now

I do think we’re the better team, but I stopped looking past teams!

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

keep in mind

the cowboys put up like 400 yards(majority in passing) and eli manning had 11 completions

.. the cowboys lost that game more so than the giants won that game

I agree we can’t look past teams, but we know that the giants are more than a sub par team, so looking past shouldn’t matter

I agree to an extent

But it IS a divisional game where most of that stats turn irrelevant Their defense hasn’t stopped anyone in 2 months but they did play well enough to beat Dallas who beat us so… and we have lost to soub par teams and played like a sub par team too, so nothing will surprise me… This is probably the biggest game we had all yhear so far and I’m really pulling for a victory. It would be nice to see another solid performance from all 3 facets of the game again.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

so do the giants

Or is that Monday night?

One of these primetime games we always suck (see cleveland browns last year)

Never assume skill at bouncing a ball makes you smarter than the guy who built the court.

Cleveland was a monday night game, and I thought we did good. They were able to put Kolb in at the end to get some playing time

NFC EAST

nfc east games are always exciting and they are always scary so im slightly worried about this one philly is on a roll but the giants seem to found a groove so i think it might go either way

one game is NOT a groove

the ball just haunts the heck out of me everytime I see it lol

"When people talk about Super Bowl dynasties they mention the 1970's Steelers, 1980's 49ers, 1990's Cowboys and the current New England Patriots, but nobody has dominated the Super Bowl like Anheuser-Busch. In recent years, Budweiser has been the MVP of Super Bowl advertising -- making another company the favorite to win the Ad Meter poll was never an option."
