Michael Vick is back at QB. We know that will mean an improvement on the QB play we saw last week, which was awful. I’m curious to see if the 2 weeks off will have any affect on Vick’s game. Did watching Foles run the offense open Vick’s eyes in some way? Probably not, but you never know.
Could this be a good week for the defense? They’re getting better each week and the Giants don’t exactly have a juggernaut offense right now. The Eagles gave up 383 yards and 21 points a few weeks back. I’d love to see the Giants held under 350 yards and 20 points this time out.
I’m predicting that this is the week Trent Cole finally gets a sack. Or 2.
The Eagles built up a 19-7 lead in the first game and then let the Giants right back in the game. I’d love to see the team get another lead today and keep it.
And of course…let’s get a home win.

Bo Wulf starts off with some excellent info on the Eagles preventing big pass plays. That is a focal point for Bill Davis and the defense has done a terrific job of that so far.
Then Bo gets to the important info…finding out some good Halloween stories from Eagles players. You’ll like Earl Wolff’s favorite costume memory.
I haven’t worn a Halloween costume since I was little, but my best was probably my Wolverine costume. I loved X-Men. Like I loved X-Men, and Wolverine was always my favorite. It’s so ironic because, you know, Brian Dawkins.
We now know how to test potential Safety draft picks. Find out if they love Wolverine or not.
Finally, Bo did a funny interview with Roc Carmichael. Is he related to Harold Carmichael? Prepare to be confused.

As a follow-up to the costume stuff, here’s more on Vinny Curry.

Does that make you feel good about the game?
