Even if they donrsquot they have a good shot

VIENNA, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Austria will not start rationinggas supplies to Austrian companies before next Monday, economyminister Reinhold Mitterlehner told reporters on Wednesdayfollowing an emergency meeting about Austria's gas supply. Stocks Russia "There will be no emergency decree from the ministry,"Mitterlehner told a news conference He said authorities woulddiscuss the situation again on Jan. 12 but would be likely toask industry to conserve gas through voluntary measures. The head of Austrian energy regulator E-Control said at thesame news conference that he did not expect any Russian gassupplies in the next few days. (Reporting by Sylvia Westall, writing by Boris Groendahl) Stocks Russia. Mr. Frank Bush does not have the leadership qualities, nor the knowledge to lead a defensive.Kubiak, unfortunately, the players do not want to give you the effort it takes to win.

Certainly, one can make the argument Schaub was injured, however, if the players protected and played with enthusiasm Schaub would not have been Injured.Todays lack luster performance is indicative of a very tragic end for a team that has the talent to consistently win.It is time for you to make a change It is time for you Mr McNair to choose your new coach Mr. Smith is not to be trusted, he will sourround you with recycled coaches, friends, perhaps relatives who are looking for an Income, nor do not have the creditentials to carry a team that is as well talented as the TEXANS . Consider the headline as blasphemous as you want, but it’s the truth.Sometimes in battle, you need a little help from your enemies to eventually win in the end. See also Chris Webber’s phantom timeout or Grady Little’s non-pull of Pedro.For the Philadelphia Eagles, a Dallas Cowboys win this week is exactly the help they need.With the Birds winning big over Atlanta earlier today, they moved to 8-4…so yes, a Giants win over Dallas would put both the Eagles and Cowboys at the same mark.But the ‘Boys would still be in first place via the tiebreaker of having beaten Philly weeks ago.

And besides, who cares who is in first place on December 7That status can come and go, but a playoff berth can’t.See, if the Cowboys win today, they’ll be 9-3, a game ahead of the Birds. But if that happens, then the Giants and Falcons will both be 6-6, as might the 49ers. And with games against the Giants and Niners in the next two weeks, the Eagles can seize control of their playoff destiny.Defeating a 6-6 Giants team next week would put the Birds at 9-4 with three games left. They’d have a three-game lead over the Giants and at least a two-game lead over the Falcons and Niners, with a 3-0 record against those teams.It would basically eliminate the Giants (and possibly the Falcons, if they lose to New Orleans in Week 14). Depending on how the Niners fare against Seattle later today and Arizona next week, it could lock up the berth for sure.Besides, the Eagles realistically only need to match Dallas between now and January 3 to have a chance at the division title.If the Birds beat the Giants next week and head into Dallas one game behind, a victory would give them the division title on the “division record” tiebreaker; Dallas would be 4-2, Philly 5-1 in the NFC East.Even if they don’t, they have a good shot.

The next tiebreakers they’d have to use would be record in common games and then conference record.For the first one, if you take away the division (in which they’d be tied), that means games against the AFC West and NFC South.Philly is 4-3 in those games, and right now Dallas is 5-1. The Birds still play Denver, while the ‘Boys play New Orleans and San Diego. Given the way the season is going, it’s VERY feasible Dallas loses both of those so if the Eagles can beat the Broncos, that tiebreaker goes bye-bye.That brings it down to conference record, and Philly only has two to Dallas’ three.
