MNF

It’s great that the Eagles are such a good team that they get showcased in national games regularly. But in reality, games like MNF are just a pain in the ass for the fan. They start too damn late and get done on Tuesday mornings. For those of us that get up at 5:30 to enter daily gridlock, such timing is not beneficial. I am rather tired. Now to the game itself.

Of course I am not pleased with the outcome. Trotter getting thrown out of the game before it even started was inexcusable. The Eagles made too many big mistakes to be able to win that game and even so they still had a chance to win it at the end. In a backhanded way, that is a compliment. Somehow Akers missed 2 field goals indoors. McNabb fumbled twice and was picked once and they still could have won. I was annoyed that McNabb did not run a single time. That element of his game is a huge plus to the team because it keeps the defense guessing, yet he seems to have put that part of his game away for the most part. I don’t understand it. TO had some drops but still was the primary weapon. It was good to see him with a smile on his face from time to time. When the game was over, Atlanta celebrated like it was the Super Bowl. The little cornerback got in TO’s face and was talking it up. It was game 1, let them have their Super Bowl now, we will have ours when we stomp these punks in the playoffs if they get that far.
