Injuries Help Eagles Soar

Eagles 31. Rams 13

The self-proclaimed "Dream Team" beat St. Louis. The NFL lockout effects have been shown by many injuries around the league in week 1. No different in St. Louis. The Rams took an early lead when Steven Jackson scored on St. Louis' opening drive. After one more run by him next drive he was out. The eagles played well all together and though Vick's passing numbers weren't great his presence did make an effect. While Philadelphia would still have probably won, the game should of been closer. At one time the Rams had Jackson, Amedola, Bradford, Smith, and Bartell out due to injury.

Eagles Pro - Vick made it clear that he can make the big plays.

Eagles Con - Eagles couldn't stop the run, even when starter Jackson was out.

Rams Pro - The running game was outstanding and Williams picked up the slack when Jackson was out.

Rams Con - The offensive line had Bradford rushed all game. To many dropped passes.
