zarak- there is no doubt that the eagles have a great defense, but i cant help but faulting the vikings for at least not taking a few long ball shots down the field. they have one of the strongest, highest jumping, catch anything receivers in randy moss, so why not just launch a few down there, and see if he can go get it.. i thought, as a whole, the vikings were playing way to conservative. so, to answer your question, i think it was a little bit of both.
and who in the NFC is as good as philly?? i would say the seahawks have officially shrugged their 'no wins on the road' problem. they have looked very good on offense, even with alexander being hurt.. and their defense looks even better. they have allowed the fewest points thus far this year, and have a +3 turnover rating after just 2 games. thats pretty solid. unfortunatley, these two teams do not meet in the regualr season. so looks like we may have to wait for the division championship to see them head to head.
BTW- i predict the cowboys will 'squeak' into the playoffs again, but will be knocked out in the first round. until we can get this QB and RB situation resolved, we will be at risk. parcells is a great coach, but in the long run, it comes down to the guys playing on the field.. and we need some help.
