A win is a win!

Here is a look at yesterday's oft ugly win versus the 49ers:

The Good:
  • Juqua Parker - Awesome! DE was a question mark coming into the season. We knew Trent Cole could get after the passer, but after that everyone was nervous. Parker has answered the call. Another sack, an interception, some tackles for a loss, and a whole lot of hustle plays. Love this guys effort on every snap.
  • McNabb - Donovan is playing at such a high level. I know he had the one interception (and really could have thrown 2 more!) but he has been excellent. The Eagles receivers have stunk around him, but he continues to play well.
  • Max Jean Gilles - He is not Shawn Andrews but he has been solid.
  • Correll Buckhalter - What a great game! While losing Westbrook is awful, people are going to find out how good this guy is. And he is good!
  • The O-Line - in the second half, they took over the game.

The Bad:

  • LJ Smith - STINKS! We franchised this player??? WOW! I thought it was a good move at the time. I was wrong! Go get Tony Gonzalez and move this dog! He doesn't block, lines up wrong (see goal line versus the Redskins), and doesn't have 8 catches yet. He is the Mike Lieberthal of Tight ends!
  • Covering Tight Ends - Vernon Davis had the best game of his career. What the hell are we doing! Cover the damn tight end, pleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeee!
  • Field Goal Unit - How does a team get penetration up the middle? Awful.

The Ugly:

  • Cowboys and Redskins losses - good news!
  • Jim Johnson of Dallas Cowboy/Fox Analyst fame says the Eagles will not make the playoffs.
  • Jamie Moyer - I still love this guy!

Go Phils!!
