I think we can officially call the Eagles' season over after Sunday's embarrassing loss to the Bears. After a game in which neither team could get in the end zone, the Eagles appeared to score the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. But then the Bears, thanks to the Eagles' use of the dreaded "prevent" defense, marched the ball 97 yards in less than two minutes, scoring a touchdown with nine seconds to go to put the Eagles away. People in Philly aren't so happy today.
As for the Vikings... is Tarvaris Jackson the worst quarterback in Vikings history? Is Sean Salisbury finally off the hook? It's nice to see ProFootballTalk is reporting that the Vikes might, maybe, "barring a turnaround," look for a different quarterback next year.
So neither of these teams look particularly good. I look forward to seeing them play each other Sunday at the Metrodome.
