The birds are now threethree on the season so whats this mean for their the rest of the seas season. Fox 29 howard escape is live at chickie and petes in south philly. High, howard. Well, right now, it means theyre in first place. There you go. A win means theyre still relevant for the rest of the season. Thats important because a loss especially in the division i think would have been a crush cher. So now theyre not zerothree in the division. They beat the giants, and they had to win a home game against one of these Division Teams theyre relevant. And they win by 20 points with all the mistakes they had which just imagine if this team cut out half the mistake. Well, they did have some good things happen. Demarco murray hadnt had a hundred yard game this season. He wanted more carries. He got more carries. Maybe a little bit because Ryan Matthews had tweak his hamstring during the week. 12yard touchdown puts the eagles up 24seven. Imagine this. Eagles had four turnovers, three of them by interception of sam bradford. Penalties which the giants had more but a lot of penalties. But to listen to jason kelce he says things have to get better. We got to put a whole thing together. We got to eliminate mistake. Its good to have 100yard rusher and end the game like we did but penalties and the snap i had, i mean theres a lot of mistakes that our defense is playing really good ball and keeping us in games. Were putting up yards, but if we dont get this corrected again better teams were gonna it will come down and hurt us bad. Yeah, its not going to be a good thing. Sam bradford when he makes mistakes, he makes big mistake. These pass that is you shouldnt even throw. Theres passes the interceptio interceptions. All bad passes. Shouldnt have happened. But sam bradford knows that hes got to get better. Even with a win. No. I mean its not even a question. Um, just inconsistent, missing throws. You know, there was some good, there was some bad but i know for us to be where we want to be ive got to play much better. You know, i dont know if its like driving your luxury car over a cliff but youre still alive but the luxury car is over the cliff or i mean theres good and bad to this whole thing. Maybe terrible analogy but the analogy is, theyve got to get better but they won the game so that makes them relevant.

Reporter fit sounds a bit confusing to you, lucy, youre not alone. Its really got a lot of people talking. First, the American Cancer Society is now recommending that women with an average risk of Breast Cancer should start annual screenings at age 45 instead of 40 years old. And theres more. The cancer group is now advising women when they reach 55 to be screened only of other year as long as youre still healthy. Another big change, the American Cancer Society is no longer recommending clinical breast scams. Thats when a doctor or nurse actually feels for lumps or abnormalities. So whats behind all these big awed just jacs says its too much screening can create false alarms which can lead to unnecessary worry and even more unnecessary testing.
