I really like our chances now. I thought T.O. was the difference between a very dynamic Eagles offense and one that is only above average. I'm not going to sleep on the likes of Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell, since both have been able to make big plays periodically, but if our corners can't cover these guys, then they don't deserve to be in this league.
Now instead of focusing on how we can stop T.O., I think any potential matchup between us and Philly will focus on them now stopping Vick. Our offense will have its hands full, since their D-line is very good at putting pressure on QBs, and our O-line hasn't been a bastion of consistency this year. But I think the key to beating the Eagles is running the ball. They are weak up the middle against the run, and the Steelers exploited this weakness very well.
If we can get a good running game going, then we can win. And let's hope that Donatell & Mora know (unlike Wade Phillips) that you have to spy McNabb.
