Yeah, they won. They’re one game closer to being .500, but there was nothing that impressed me about the Eagles victory yesterday over the New York Titans, er, Jets. The entire game was mediocre, regardless of which team the birds fought.

The defense only allowed three field goals in the contest but they’ve played well all year. Even Jevon Kearse got himself one of the Eagles three sacks. Sean Considine continued his good season leading the team with seven tackles and Quintin Mikell is still doing well in replacement of Brian Dawkins.

On the other side of the ball however the Eagles had a chance to have a breakout game and were borderline disappointing.  Brian Westbrook ran for 120 yards and it was a great sign to see him return to action. The Eagles are 3-6 without him. He really is the lone representative of the Eagles offense this season.

Despite throwing for 278 yards, Donovan McNabb still doesn’t seem to be his old self, looking confused as the pocket collapses around him. Like his counterpart Chad Pennington, McNabb was also sacked three times yesterday (It would have been even more if Winston Justice had suited up).

The highlight of the day was the lone offensive touchdown of the game when McNabb hit Kevin Curtis for a 75-yard touchdown on third down and long. Reggie Brown finally began to catch the ball, but overall the wide outs were still having trouble getting open and once they were McNabb was still throwing it just out of their reach. One of those miscues yesterday ended up in an interception for #5.

The Birds did not look to impress in week six but got their post-bye-week win which brings Andy Reid’s record to 9-0 after the break. This week the Eagles will face the Chicago Bears. From what we’ve seen this season the two defenses appear to be about the same, but the Bears have found a quarterback in Brian Griese.  So which Eagles offense will show up this Sunday? Will we see the offense that put up 56 points in week three against Detroit, or the week six offense that could only muster one touchdown against the lowly Jets? This is a defining week for the Birds, so as our old friend T.O. would say, ‘Get yer’ popcorn.’
