NOW THAT the thrill of witnessing an actual Eagles' home-field victory has worn off, now that photos of the final tally glowing on the Linc scoreboard have been framed and the scoresheets have been pressed into scrapbooks, many Eagles fans will spend the days until Monday night's encounter with the Giants debating one question:
