With the Cowboys (4-3) taking on the Giants tonight, the Eagles find themselves right in the middle of the NFC East race. 500 witih a 22-14 victory over the fading Bears. The Eagles (5-4), amid talk of internal strife, have won two in a row and moved above. вЂњWeвЂ™re 6-2 with a lot of games to play, and weвЂ™ve got to continue to improve.вЂќ Surging in the Keystone StateДЄfter getting off to inauspicious starts, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia appear to be righting the ship. вЂњListen, weвЂ™re a work in progress,вЂќ McDermott said. Win those three and theyвЂ™ll be set up pretty nicely.Д«ut the BillsвЂ™ schedule turns a bit more challenging after that: at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, home against the Ravens, at the Steelers and at the Patriots before wrapping up with a home game against the lowly Jets.Д«ottom line, they still have work to do, and coach Sean McDermott knows it. Looking ahead at the schedule, the Bills likely will be favored in their next three games: at the Browns, at the Dolphins and home against the Broncos. It starts with each and every week getting a win, and we got that this week.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™m not too worried about the strength of schedule or anything like that. вЂњIвЂ™m done apologizing for wins,вЂќ Hyde said. Of course, those who prefer FrankвЂ™s Red Hot sauce on their Buffalo wings are tuning out the noise. But skeptics can point out that the BillsвЂ™ six wins have come against teams have a combined record of 9-41 going into tonightвЂ™s Giants-Cowboys game. The Bills are off to their best start since going 7-1 in 1993. Cynics still wonder about the the first half of BuffaloвЂ™s schedule. Buffalo is winning, for a change, and while quarterback Josh Allen doesnвЂ™t exactly instill confidence, the Bills (6-2) won again Sunday over Washington and appear poised to make the playoffs.

Given that, I shouldnвЂ™t rain on their parade.
