Seems to me since around week ten that for a handful of teams in this conference every game is a playoff game. In a semi rebuilding year at least it feels that way for our Eagles who have faced a very demanding and tough schedule with last year's leading rusher sidelined for four or five games already and who may sit the rest of the regular season. We let aged Ernest Conway go in free agency last off-season who has done admirably well for the Patriots this year, while picking up free agent veteran James Valenzuela who has shined at times but not enough to grind out the clock with the run game, keeping it out of the hands of all the gunslinging qbs we have faced this year. Good luck the rest of the way everyone.

RB Earl Campbell got hurt in the Vikings game so he has missed five full games and will certainly miss this week's game against the Cardinals. He has a chance to return for our rematch against Washington in week 15 but not unless 100 percent. Adversity can toughen this team up and if in playoffs who knows what can happen. :)
