 Just what the doctor ordered: warm weather, a weekend on South Beach, probably some Joe's Stone Crabs and third-stringer J.P. Losman. Typical for South Florida - Good sacks! The Eagles have kept my interest for at least another week.

The star of this game was the Eagles' defense . . . They played like they didn't eat for weeks . . . BTW we heard from Trent Cole for the first time in months.

Only the second time this season, the defense showed some heart. But, this is all for nothing because this defense can never play like this for the next three games. However, I have a feeling that they might have saved Andy his job.

This was Andy's Xmas gift, Miami was clueless. Hard to see this team holding the Jets' run game next week. Reggie Bush looked like Jerome Bettis against our LBs, and o-line couldn't handle the Dolphins' d-line.

8 and 8 and division title still in sight.

I was impressed by the Eagles fans in Miami, too. Good job guys!

What, exactly, does this win mean? Really? Playoffs? Are we closer to the Super Bowl?

"We're getting better." Oh really Andy? Where? And for what? This season is over. Think the Cowpokes will go 1-3 in their next four games? Doubtful. The Mike Vick Experience was no experience at all [yesterday]. The defense finally showed up. Big whoop. Better luck next year Eagles.

Way to drop down in the draft. For you dreamers, wake up. This team is NOT making the playoffs.
