Taking gratuitous military references to their logical extreme. 

SIGINT:

Brian Westbrook is questionable for Sunday. Inactive agent reveals direct intel indicating subject will not play. False flag operation from General Reid rated highly probable, as other sources indicate Westbrook likely to play.

Jason Taylor is out. Shawn Springs and Marcus Washington are in-theater resources, but combat status undetermined until commencement of hostilities.

Philadelphia blitzkrieg is a major concern for offensive line. Proper security measures crucial.
