The holidays are here, I have some down time from the real job, it's going to be a very White Christmas and the Eagles are surging down the regular season stretch drive. I just moved six tons of snow off my driveway and I'm prepping for the Eagles' game with the Niners.
Things is good.
Let's just hope the Eagles aren't feeling this way. For the Birds, they have to overcome the temptation to feel good about themselves. They have to stay on the right side of the confident/overconfident line.
Some key things to watch today:
Will the weather be a factor? I don't think it will. It should be a clear day and the field should be in decent shape, thanks to the extra three hours before kickoff.
Can the O-line keep improving? San Fran put on a pretty fierce pass rush Monday night against the Cardinals, especially from the linebackers. Jason Peters has been playing very well the last couple weeks. Let's hope he avoids dings and keeps on mowing people down.
Will the Eagles tackle better than last week? Well, I can't imagine it could be worse. I think they'll bounce back. As a side note, why do you have to practice tackling? When you slam into the guy, put your arms around him - why does that require practice? It's a body slam combined with a hug. If you have the body slam part down, the hug should be easy.
Can anybody slow down DeSean Jackson? Finally, an easy one - No.
Enjoy the game, and be safe getting there.
