Also overlooked by much of the media were DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek, each of whom had 100-plus yards as receivers and and LeSean McCoy who had 84 yards rushing. The media also ignored the offensive line, which gave Kolb the time to throw, and the defense, which yielded only two touchdowns.
The Eagles don't have a game this Sunday, so the media will focus not upon Kolb, not upon the receivers or running backs, not upon the Eagles defense, and certainly not upon the offensive line. "Rehabilitation" will be the key topic this week. It'll be stories about Donovan McNabb's recovery from his rib injury--and Vick's "rehabilitation" from a life of animal cruelty, and his hoped-for march to another All-Pro appearance. It's just a good thing there aren't any live eagles as team mascots.
