will we ever win?

Yea! 5-6!

In a poorly played mistake-fest the Eagles managed to be the team that sucked the least and came away with a victory. The Eagles should have been up big early considering they started their first 4 possessions of the game on the Packers side of the 50 and Favre was playing terrible, yet they still only led by 3 points deep into the first half. When the offense managed to score what would be their lone TD of the game the defense, in totally predictable fashion, allowed an easy TD immediately after. Nice tackle Dawkins, very Bobby Tayloresque. And just as predictably, the offense went 3 and out on their following possession. That sorry effort though contained one of the highlights of the game -- the sound of the football clanking off the refs head. Fox should have replayed that more.

The defense gave up a late score in the first half to put the Eagles behind but you never felt the Packers had anything really going on and were not going to take over or win the game despite their 43% third down conversion rate. Instead the Eagles capitalized (as feebly as they could) on all the Packers turnovers, rushed for 181 yards, and took those important stats to victory.

Other observations:

• Eagles have yet another crappy punter. Where's Landetta?
• Did Gordon get the ball again after he fumbled it early? I'm thinking maybe once.
• Brett Favre should retire.
• Quentin Mikell can't play.
• Reno Mahe can't play.
• After the Gado fumble on the 50 why 3 straight passing plays?
• Why the stupid trick play at an inopportune time when you've planned to be so boringly conservative all game?
• McMullen had that first down but the refs blew it. He slipped down and extended the ball and then was touched. The ref spotted it as if he had been tackled to the ground. Reid should have challenged.
• I didn't like the Eagles settling so meekly for a FG after the kickoff fumble. A 5 point lead is not safe with this defense.
• Roughing the passer call was weak.
• Rod Hood had a good game, better than any Lito has played this year.
• I hate Jared from the Subway commercials.
• Who puts a bowling ball on their mantle?
• Seahawks are frauds.
• Giants are frauds.
• If the Eagles defense wasn't so bad this year they'd be 6-5, not 5-6 and have a chance in this weak division.
