The Philadelphia Eagles throwback threads paid off for them on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, leading to a 56-21 victory at home.

So, what does this mean? Should the Eagles switch back to their oldies for default? Were those jerseys the reason they won?

To this question, I say NO.

The Lions showed up with a good gameplan, but fell apart against the tough Eagles offense.

WR Kevin Curtis and RB Brian Westbrook both had career days.

Donovan McNabb had over 300 yards in the first half alone! At halftime, I thought that the game would go over 100 points in scoring! But, the Eagle sdefense toughened up, and the offense shut 'em out.

Just when you thought they were down and out, the Eagles come back. This will be a team to watch out for, Dallas may have a divison competitor yet!

However, in the NFC North, the Packers won their 3rd game of the season, going 3-0. So, was Detroit just a miracle 2-0 team, or was this really a just a bad day?

I say that we can expect much more from the Lions as the season progresses, but they need a better defensive plan. Marinelli has emerged as a better coach than many mistook him for. He should have more success as the Lions continue on their way to 10 wins.

Jon KItna is the apparent leader of this team, but he should be more careful. He almost got another concussion this past Sunday, he needs to really be extremely aware of his surroundings. And if Kitna does go down, the Lions don't have a decent QB to replace him with. They should think about that this week, and how to motivate the offensive line to let les guys by them.

This Sunday, the Lions play the Chicago Bears at home.

And the Eagles play the Ginats at the Meadowlands.
