Pat: The Eagles beat the Saints 39-17 on Sun- day. They are now 2-3 overall and playing the Giants on Monday Night Football. Where do you think they stand in their division title hopes?
Kevin: The birds definitely look a lot better than they did a week ago. They still sit one game back like last week but they came out and had a dominating performance on Sunday. The Giants lead the division so the game on Monday is huge. The Eagles could find themselves in 1st or last place in the NFC East after that game. If the Eagles win they will be the favorite to win the division from there on out.
Pat: A weekly question is usually about how the offensive line played. So, how do you think the offensive line played Sunday?
Kevin: The offensive line had their best game of the season and actually looked to be in sync. Jason Peters and Lane Johnson are still banged up but I think they will be able to get healthier this week and hopefully play even better against the Giants.
Kevin’s Q&A:
Kevin: The Eagles had a good game but it was against the one win Saints. How much do you think that had to do with their dominating performance?
Pat: There is no doubt that the Saints are not very good team. With that said, it was important just for the Eagles to come out and play a complete game. They did that and a win is hard to come by in the NFL, so a win at the end of the day is all that matters.
Kevin: What do you think is the biggest thing the Eagles can improve on for Monday’s contest against the Giants?
Pat: The play of the wide receivers. The Eagles’ receivers have been dropping way to many passes this season and that needs to stop. Also, some weeks they will have Miles Aus- tin step up and then it is like he does not exist the next week. A little more consistency from the wide receivers would go a long way in helping Sam Bradford.
Week 6 predictions:
Kevin: Eagles 27, Giants 20
Pat: Eagles 23, Giants 17
