a small dose of reality

The Birds win should cement the division title and possibly result in the Romo the homo led Cowboys missing the playoffs yet again.  Some great individual performances:

Donovan McNabb - A very good performance from McNabb. He completed 17 of 26 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. McNabb showed good patience and trust in his offensive line on the big plays down the field. He hit Brent Celek for a 23-yard play and connected on the two huge plays to DeSean Jackson: a 44 yarder and the 60-yard touchdown. Great read and throw, finding Reggie Brown over the middle for 19 yards on the fourth-quarter drive. He also did a good job of buying time and finding receivers down the field throughout. overthrew him a little.

Michael Vick - He looked as comfortable as he has all season on the 32-yard throw to Jackson, which set up first touchdown. Nice play-fake and perfect throw. Vick looked a little hesitant on the 3rd-and-3 carry in the second, but eventually he got far enough outside to pick up the first down. He also showed good patience on the fourth-quarter drive, picking up 5 yards to set up the Leonard Weaver TD.

Leonard Weaver - Tremendous performance from Weaver in all aspects. He really put his stamp on the game with five touches on that 12-play drive in the fourth quarter. He was excellent as usual as a chipper/blocker. Weaver made a nice block on the Vick touchdown at the end of the first half. Nine carries for 33 yards and four catches for 26 overall.

Todd Herremans - He really played well and was probably the Eagles' most impressive run blocker. Herremans had several good blocks on Weaver runs. He got just enough of a linebacker on the first-quarter touchdown to Celek. And he pushed a DB out of the play on Vick's TD run at the end of the first half.


Brent Celek - Five catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. He has a toughness play almost every week. Sunday, it was the TD where he met a linebacker and a DB at the 3 yard line and ran them over to get to the end zone. Celek had the big 23-yard catch to set up the TD at the end of the first half. He did a better job than last week as a blocker.

Last but NOT least:

DeSean Jackson -  Just a ridiculous performance. Jackson had a hand in pretty much every score. The 60-yard touchdown was huge. Overall, six catches for 178 yards and a TD. Oh yeah, there was that punt return too.
