will we ever win?

Revenge on Big Blew

I'm shocked the Eagles won this game. This was a different defense than the one we've been watching the last bunch of weeks. It looked like the "ghost" of Eagles defense present early in game but from the mid-second quarter on it seems the ghost of Eagles defenses past materialized to haunt the Giants, perhaps conjured up by Dawkins. Where did they find a run defense? Where did they find a pass rush? Where did they find some blitzes that actually produced? They even tackled well and got every break on the turnovers. Both pass deflections went right into Eagles hands and the Dawkins forced fumbles too. The Lito recovery probably should have gone out of bounds but instead just sat there a yard away.

On the offensive side of the ball Westbrook was great, Garcia was really good to great except for his brain dead taunting followed up with a horrible pick, Buckhalter got the ball alot after being invisible last week and was also great. Only one dropped ball (Tapeh) and lots of great catches from the receivers. The offensive line was pretty great this game as well. Even the special teams chipped in with Mahe's big return, but what's up with Akers?

OTHER NOTES: How nice was the Carolina game where the refs "let them play", where the players decided the game, not the referees? Where there were no ticky tack or imaginary penalties followed by replays that leave the announcers and viewers going, "What?!" These referees were horrible. There's too many examples to list on both sides of the ball. Too many calls where the refs need to show some judgement and realize the penalty they think they saw had nothing to do with the play and they should just let it go. Shockey is among the top 5 biggest idiots in the NFL and top 10 most overrated but he has to be the #1 jackass. Nice hit Quintin Mikell. Another game another opening drive for points and another first half closing drive for points. Dawkins came to the rescue again this week, how long can he keep doing it? Nice calls by the Reid/Mornhinweg "braintrust". I wonder what the ghost of Eagles defense future has for next week?

Dallass sucks.
