I think some things are in place for us this week that will help us out.

1.
We are at home
2.
We have a very solid run D
3.
I am not overly impressed with their receivers, though McNabb is impressive
4.
McNabb is not overly mobile anymore

Now, that being said, there are things that scare me

1.
McNabb
2.
Eagles D
3.
TJacks inexperience

Now, I really do like our chances.
I feel we will emerge victorious, though it will be hard fought.

If TJ's inexperience scares you, what about the rest of the inexperienced players?

AD
Cook
Tahi
Shank
Edwards
Robison
Griffin

tj's inexperience has let to losses, whereas AD's,
Tahi's, Shank's, Edwards, robison's and Griffin's has not. (AD's fumbles led to losses, but I think thats something other than inexperience)
TJ will make or break this game, and against that complex blitz scheme Philly runs, This could get ugly.
He needs to get real comfortable, real quick, I expect to see a lot of short stuff and lots of runs on sunday, to help out TJ.

How quickly we forget the struggles that AD and Tahi have had in pass protection, Shank's drops, Edwards' silent first half, and Griffin's early lapses in coverage. Those have all certainly led to losses as well.

It will be interesting to see if our young guys step up in the playoffs or crumble under the pressure. Usually inexperienced teams like ours are one and done.

Does anyone thing we should try to use delayed QB draws to try and counter the crazy blitzes that will be thrown at us? TJ is fast enough to hurt a team that over commits. We just have to worry about him not sliding and getting hurt.
