Live From Philly

The Giants are down. The Eagles are wounded. The Redskins are on the rise. A win tonight--in arguably the most important football game in world history--plus a win next week (when Dallas plays at Chicago), and the Skins head into the bye undefeated with a good chance at first place in the division.

Ashley Fox says that this game is a "must-win" for the Eagles. Which means, if they lose, they forfeit the season. Them's the rules.

Iggles Blog gets extremely X's and O's with its game preview, and predicts a big Eagles win. Here's a similar breakdown from Redskins savant Dillweed at Post Game Heroes; he's not optimistic.

Off to try to find this guy:
