5-0?
When the 2004 schedule came out more than a few Eagles fans circled the October 17th game against the Panthers and pegged it as a critical game: Revenge, possible playoff implications (many of us assumed that the Panthers would be one of the teams competing against the Eagles for homefield), etc.
Revenge is still at the top of the list for most Eagles fans, but keeping the Eagles perfect season alive is now of paramount importance. Luckily, the Panthers look like a shell of the team they were in 2003, when their grinding, physical style powered them to the Super Bowl. Wideout Steve Smith is gone, DeShaun Foster is gone, a depleted Stephen Davis will be carrying the load solo, injuries in their defensive unit ... the Eagles have the clear edge in this matchup, coming off a bye week with few injuries to speak of. The Birds have the clear edge. Call it:
Eagles 24, Panthers 14
