Nick Laham/Getty ImagesAfter watching the game against the New York Giants on Sunday night, I couldn't help but sit there and say, "Wow, what a game!"While it was nowhere near a perfect game, the Eagles stayed on the grind and busted out a win. I will be honest; I didn't think the Eagles could pull it off. As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I'm not accustomed to the Birds coming up clutch when we need them too. The hype surrounding Michael Vick is overwhelming at times but I think last night's real hero is Slim Shady LeSean McCoy. Reebok Pittsburgh Steelers #86 Hines Ward Realtree camo Jersey
Ever since he was drafted out of Pittsburgh, I was always a McCoy fan. I loved his "Brian Westbrook" scat-back style. However, I was worried that Shady, as he is so affectionately called, would do more harm than good with his happy feet. Boy was I wrong. His explosion is impeccable and his vision is even more impressive. The pieces fell into place when they needed to. If it weren't for the DeSean Jackson and Jason Avant drops in the end zone, it could have been an even bigger win. I also do not know what Todd Herremans and Jason Peters are doing on the offensive line. Those kinks will work themselves out, hopefully. And I say that with the utmost optimism. My idea of a complete team is one that uses one aspect of the team to pick up another when they are down. In this case, the Eagles defense helped keep them in it when the offense couldn't produce and the offense was able to secure some last minute points to relieve some pressure on the D.

The only thing that we didn't see last night was dominant pressure on Eli Manning. Don't get me wrong, we pressured the guy and made him uncomfortable. However, he was able to stay in the pocket long enough to make the throws he needed. Juqua Parker is ailing right now which means the Eagles need rookie defensive end Brandon Graham to step up big time. I know Graham is capable of being a force in the NFL. He is a bit undersized for a DE but his speed should compensate. Reebok Pittsburgh Steelers James Harrison Realtree camo Jersey
When I watched him in the Senior Bowl, I knew he was something special. Now it is time for him to step up. The secondary played well. Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham are two prolific receivers who are very talented. Aside from Quintin Mikell's weird tackling day, I know they will be even better as the season progresses. I am also very impressed with the excellent play of Dimitri Patterson. In the latter part of this season, it won't get easier for the Birds. Up next week are the Chicago Bears followed by Houston, Dallas, New York Giants, Minnesota and Dallas. To be honest, I believe the Bears are a fluke team. Jay Cutler is absolutely terrible in my opinion. The Cowboys are hot right now and the Giants are still tough. The Vikings game could go either way. It will be a tough test but ifReebok San Francisco 49ers #21 Frank GORE Realtree camo Jersey
you want to win a championship, nothing is ever easy. One thing is for certain. In order to continue this success in the regular season and postseason, the Eagles need to stay on Earth and not get to into themselves. We have all seen it in the past: An Eagles team that is playing well usually discounts the opponent in a big game and they wind up losing.They need to handle success with the highest form of humility.
