Who were those guys?

Pardon me for asking, but were these the same Philadelphia Eagles playing with the Arizona Cardinals last night that tied (yes, tied—I know it’s an archaic form of completion to a pro game, Donovan, but it does happen) the Cincinnati Bengals 13 all on November 16th? The same Eagles that looked so pitiful in losing to the Baltimore Ravens 36-7 just last Sunday?

You’ll understand my confusion if you note that the Eagles drubbed the Cardinals 48-20 and that Donovan McNabb—benched in the second half on Sunday—threw for 260 yards and four TDs and Brian Westbrook—Sunday’s invisible man—ran for 110 yards and two TDs on the ground while also score twice on McNabb passes. Also note that the defense actually thrived when they didn’t have to be on the field as often as they were on Sunday.

So I can only conclude that, while the names may have been the same, these were NOT the same Eagles.
