The Eagles won (YAY!), but it was otherwise bizarro week
Great game out of Mike Vick, who was personally responsible for 14 points. And that was a SWEET swing pass to Brent Celek, by the way. And a nice, if slightly underthrown, long pass to Reggie Brown (no, he’s not in the witness protection program).
Victory – but at what cost?
Once again, the Eagles found a way to win. OK, you can definitely argue that it never should have been close in the first place (although the Redskins seem to have found new life in the past few weeks), but doing well in the post-season requires being able to win close games. We’ve needed points – we’ve gotten points (that may be because we finally have some skill players on offense who actually have, you know, some skills). We’ve needed long drives to eat up the clock – we’ve gotten long drives to eat up the clock (hello, run game!). We’ve needed our nearly linebacker-less defense to make big stops – we’ve gotten big stops. We needed decent clock management – we actually got decent clock management (maybe you *can* teach an old dog new tricks).
