Yesterday, the Philadelphia Eagles destroyed the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-3 in what was yet another impressive showing by Michael Vick. Vick threw for 291 and scored 4 total touchdowns (3 passing and 1 rushing),while Desean Jackson had 5 receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown. Lesean McCoy was pretty much a non factor this game, rushing for a mere 54 yards and no touchdowns. The Eagles defense was stingy, giving up just 3 points to a lackluster Jacksonville team that, from the way it looks, may have its own quarterback controversy soon. David Garrard went an abysmal 13 for 30, only threw for 105 yards, and threw no touchdowns and 1 interception. While Jacksonville is not the best of teams, it is still reassuring to see the Eagles winning the games that they should be winning. During the McNabb era, teams such as the Jaguars would have given the Eagles problems, but with Mike Vick at the helm, those problems seem to have momentarily disappeared. Perhaps Mike Vick was the best choice after all.
Grading:
Offense: A (big day dominated by Mike Vick and Desean Jackson)
Defense: A (3 points against any team is a good sign)
Special Teams: A (the best special teams plays are the ones you forget the next day, and I don't remember anything!
Overall: A (If the Eagles can keep up this pace of play, the NFC East title may be much easier than previously thought)
