Worried about Philly

I'm worried, plain and simple

I was watching the Eagles play Dallas yesterday to sort of get a preview of how they're playing right now. My single summary comment here is; their record does not describe their team.

Their defense was flying all over the place making plays and getting monstrous pressure on the QB with those crazy all-angle blitzes they like to call. They were seemingly able to stuff the run completely. Their offense was able to open holes for Westbrook and we all know dangerous that guy can be in space. His "dropping at the one" to seal the game tells me a lot about how their players see the team as top priority. I know that many wouldn't have done that, but Westbrook did. McNabb is slower than he used to be but he made some plays by moving around in the pocket buying time.

What to be optimistic about. The Eagles defense focused on covering T.O. and still weren't able to get it done reliably. Were it not for Tony Romo's horrible accuracy, I saw a lot of plays that could have been made. If we can protect Drew Brees and he's having an "on" day, we may be able to take advantage of that.

With that being the only thing I see as a big plus, and it being contingent on some "ifs"; I am worried.....
