will we ever win?

Last fake game

The Eagles dominated this game from start to finish. With Vince Young at QB the offense moved the ball easily and Kafka didn't do too bad either. The defense also dominated. The only points they gave up was because of a short field. The other Jets TD was a pick six. The Eagles scrubs did have a big advantage - the Jets scrubs just played on Monday night and looked tired and uninspired.

Other notes:

• Rookie RB Dion Lewis played great - great 5th round pick. If co-idiots Reid and Marty Mornhinweg don't run the ball this year with McCoy, Brown and Lewis in the backfield they really, really need to be fired. Especially since the patchwork offensive line is barely adequate protecting the fragile Vick.
• I was going to write "Riley Cooper sucks" again after some drops, but he took the hardest hit I've seen all preseason and got right back up - to retrieve his helmet.
• While Rocca was really good downing the ball inside the 20, the new guy is very good kicking it into the endzone every single time.
• The rookie kicking tandem will cost the Eagles 1 game guaranteed, probably 2. Henery hooked a 43 yarder badly, and Henry dropped a hold on a chip shot like good ol' Tommy Hutton and threw it up for grabs just as pathetically.
• Vince Young looked much better this game. His passes were right on the money except for a wide open bomb to Moss that he overthrew. Hopefully the hamstring pull isn't serious.
• The defensive line continued to apply pressure and get sacks no matter who was playing. Hargrove and Hunt stood out.
• Brian Rolle made some plays at LB early on.
• All the kickoffs were returned but one late in the game. On that lone touchback the idiots in the booth made the cliche comments about the new rule, never mind everything that happened before it.
• Eskin had a nice summary of the obvious regarding Vick at halftime in case you missed it.
• After listening to "Baldy" and "Tolle," I'm convinced that the Eagles players could easily send a man to the moon and then do brain surgery while there. They are all just that smart.
• In the Battle of the Bulges, Reid is fatter than Ryan.
