Me included.

The only two good things I remember from watching the Eagles on Monday night were Brian Westbrook, and that McNabb was spreading the ball around pretty well. He had eight different receivers by halftime.

Oh yeah, and David Akers went 4/4 on field goals. It's always nice to have your kicker on automatic...

That said, the Eagles looked lost in the red zone. They couldn't finish a drive to save their lives. It's easy to blame McNabb, but to be fair, it wasn't ALL his fault; the offense as a whole sputtered, and the Redskins' D played a big part as well. And don't get me started on the playcalling; when Andy Reid settled for that third field goal, he might as well have waved a white flag and called it a night. And the Eagles' D went home at halftime...who that was on the field in the second half, I'm not sure if even the Eagles fans know.

Meanwhile, the Lions are arguably looking the best they have in...since...well, that's a thinker. Barry Sanders was still playing then, I guess...

So yeah, I'm picking the Lions.
