The usually subtle Donovan McNabb states, "I think one thing that people tend to forget is - the NFC East championship comes through Philadelphia." This is a bold statement that the Eagles have yet to back up unless he was talking about the route to get to the Meadowlands where the Giants are riding their defense to victory as of late.
After making his statement the Eagles faced off with the Bears in Philadelphia. The Eagles were in the Red Zone four times walking away with one touchdown and three field goals. But a Bears drive that started on their 3 with 1 minute, 57 seconds left in the game concluded with a touchdown pass from Griese to Muhammad from the 15 yard line on second down for the winning score.

Now the Eagles are 2-4 and are getting ready to square off with the Minnesota Vikings this weekend before they play the division leading Dallas Cowboys who will be coming off a bye week on November 4th at 8:15 pm on NBC.

You're right--this was a very brash statement. Do you think he can back it up with his performances this season thus far?
And I'd still love to see a warm-up entry that introduces us to your blog. Is it going to be focused primarily on Eagles football, or are you going to do a bit of writing across the division/conference?
