WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PHILLY : Again, the 49ers will benefit from a team that’s hurtin.’ The Eagles will be without their best offensive player (RB Brian Westbrook - broken ribs), their best lineman (G Shawn Andrews - back), and a starting receiver ( Reggie Brown - groin). Offensively in the…

We’re back for four downs on the Eagles defense with Jason from Bleeding Green Nation. The Eagles have a perenially solid defense that flys under the radar. Given the 49ers offensive struggles we’ll have to keep an eye on the Eagles defense.

Sports Illustrated calls the Eagles the bset 2-3 team in the NFL. Even with an injured Brian Westbrook, the Eagles are more than ready to explode offensively against the 49ers. In their first two games, they were scoring left and right. The last two games saw the Eagles lose to teams because of their inability [...]

Eagles QB Donovan McNabb vs. 49ers defense
McNabb held a team meeting the day after the Eagles’ most recent loss. Although he probably will be without running back Brian Westbrook (ribs, ankle) in Week 6, McNabb is publicly invested in turning the season around this week, before the Eagles’ bye. Teammates expect him to be [...]

Tags: Brian WestbrookA few years back, the Eagles were trailing a game by 10 points with under 2 minutes to play. The offense drove down the field to score a touchdown to cut the lead to 3. The problem? Time had either expired or there was less than 10 seconds to go with no timeouts. Either way, it would have made more sense to get inside the …

Tags: Andy Reid, Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia, San FranciscoEagles RB Brian Westbrook has been listed as unavailable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers. The star running back suffered broken ribs last week against the Redskins.
