Nov. 9, 2009 - Eagles head coach Andy Reid blamed himself for Sunday's debilitating, 20-16 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys , saying, "It is my responsibility to make sure that we win those games.

By CHAREAN WILLIAMS The Philadelphia Eagles are who we thought they were.Despite a hiccup against Oakland, Philadelphia has been the team it was picked to be before the season started.

PHILADELPHIA - There's nothing in his locker to suggest the horrors of the past two years for Michael Vick , no reminders of his fall from grace.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook missed practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Even without Brian Westbrook, the Eagles stayed committed to the run in their 40-17 blowout Sunday of the NFC East rival Giants at Lincoln Financial Field, a win that propelled them into a first-place tie in the NFC East.

Tom Brady has Randy Moss. Peyton Manning has Reggie Wayne . Even Steve Young had Jerry Rice to help make his life easier.

LANDOVER, Md. Eagles running back Brian Westbrook's evening came to an abrupt end in the first quarter last night when he took a knee to the helmet from Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher and appeared to be knocked unconscious by the blow.

As we approach Week Seven of the 2009 season, the Philadelphia Eagles are still scratching their heads trying to figure out what exactly went wrong in their 13-9 loss to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday.

Kevin Kolb is the third quarterback for today's Eagles-Raiders game. That means only Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick are active.

THERE'S NO longer much to debate about which 2009 Eagles injury has been the most significant.

THE EAGLES' 13-9 loss to the Raiders produced a lot of disturbing offensive numbers.

No matter the opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles learned the hard way they can't take any team lightly.

Early season losses to inferior opponents that made the Eagles' playoff pursuits in 2006 and 2008 so daunting don't seem to be problematic anymore, not after they dismantled winless Tampa Bay 33-14 Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Three Aprils ago, Kevin Kolb watched the NFL Draft on TV while Oakland made quarterback JaMarcus Russell the No.

Last weeks' return of Donovan McNabb underscored just how good this Eagles offense can be.

There's really only one thing keeping Eagles guard Todd Herremans from returning in time to play the Redskins on Oct.

There wasn't one, of course, unless you count local radio talk shows. Once and for all, this is McNabb's team.

It was like one of those one-on-one drills they run countless times at training camp: wide receiver lines up opposite cornerback - may the best man win.

Jeremy Maclin might as well have just started looking forward to 2010, because his rookie season in the NFL was going nowhere fast.
