will we ever win?

Typical

Blogs are cool cuz you can quote yourself:

"56-10, eagles lose.

but theres a part of me that says the eagles keep it close and even have a chance to win but end up blowing it at the end. that would be the true philadelphia way."

Oh well. The Eagles did play their best game of the season. (I'm not counting the fluke against Detroit.) But in the end they made too many mistakes like spotting them 7 points in the first moments of the game and then the killer -- throwing a pass to the endzone on 2nd and 4 from the 30 when you want to eat up as much clock as possible. Run the damn ball! So despite all the great things Feeley did and was the Eagles best player, he ends up being the goat too. BUT at the same time, McNabb is NOT a better QB than Feeley and was NOT a better QB than Garcia either. He was once upon a time but not anymore and Feeley is only an above average backup.

Under Feeley the offense for the first time this year resembled let's say, a nicely tuned Honda Accord instead of the usual sputtering and stalling beater that McNabb pilots. The entire reason this game was enjoyable and entertaining (except for the end when Feeley reminded us why he's a backup) was because the offense put long sustained scoring drives together and kept the Patriots off the field. How odd the offense performed similarly last year when Garcia came in. I wonder why that is? Hmmmmm...

I guess the defense played good holding the Patriots to "only" 24 points but utimately they couldn't hold the lead. The defensive surprises of the game were the sacks and the pressure, JR Reid making Dawkins like hits, and consistently solid tackles all around. Gaither wasn't too bad in coverage either. The unsurprising things were lack of takeaways (the difference in the game) and giving up lots of 3rd down conversions.

Anyway it's late and I'm tired. But look for a big letdown next week by the Eagles and the same substandard blog posts as always by me.
