Eagles, could they be distracted

[jer-z jock]

The Eagles coach Andy Ried allowed several offensive starters to fly down to Miami to attend a funeral for the brothers of one of the offensive lineman {R.I.P}(forgive me for not printing names). The overall picture is that of the offensive members that attended missed Saturday night meetings along with the responsibility to fly to Miami and back before the start of Sundays game. Not that the flight is long but it does take you out of routine and will everyones heads be focused on the game at hand, the Steelers are no slouch team and along with playing on Monday night(having a short week) and expending alot of energy and emotion in THAT game this is just a little more to stretch or test ones mind and endurance. Steelers as a 3 point dog I think is a good bet, Eagles blow out the RAMS(which I think USC could man handle) then they play a close one with the Cowboys a game inwhich I attended and think the refs gave the Eagles a littl of a break, the pass interference early in the game not only was ofensive interference but it kept the game with in a few points. I have been saying Eagles go 1-2 then fight fight fight as they have Chicago and Washington on deck before getting another lay back game in San Francisco.....

I may regret it and I dont see alot of people even capping hs game but I'll take the Steelers +3 on a beautiful day here in the Philadelphia area maybe everyones getting caught up in the Monday night game and the fact that the Steelers struggled(?) with CLeveland last week in what I beleive was due to high winds and bad weather, Big Ben being knicked up could come into play as the Eagles and Jim Johnson will throw everything including the kitchen sink at him.
