typical Eagles-style game

instead of my recaps and rants, here is a gest of what happened durin the loss to the Washington Redskins by the Philadelphia Eagles 17-12...woo-hoo!

-it was the return of the franchise leader, QB Donovan McNabb. people were curious as to how the fans would treat McNabb after booin him in 1999 when the Eagles drafted and suprisinly yet not surprisinly enough, McNabb received a positive reaction and a standin ovation...i mean, 6 Pro-Bowls, 4 NFC East division championships, 5 NFC championship game, 1 Super Bowl appearance...yeah.
-Mike Shanahan pounded the football up and down the field right off the bat...the combination of Clinton Portis and the new mack truck (sidebar: Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants bein the other) Ryan Torain totalled 125yds. and Torain managed to ran over S Quintin Mikell like he was roadkill...sad
-um, LB Stewart Bradley blown a TE coverage that allowed Chris Cooley to scored a TD...nice
-CB Asante Samuel left with a "mild" concussion after tryna tackle Torain and ended up gettin knee'd to the helmet...and WR Riley Cooper was out as well due to what i believed happened durin a special team collision...
-RB LeSean McCoy carried the team pretty well but ended up fumblin a ball and ended up somehow with a fracture rib for the night...
-Jason Peters...*sigh*...although he got called for 2 holdin penalties, i thought 1 was refutable...Todd Herremens got called for 1 too...and CB Ellis Hobbs for an illegal contact, whatever!
-the biggest penalty was prolly from Max Jean-Gilles, who's fillin in for RG Nick Cole...it was a holdin penalty that came durin...*DRUMROLL*...
-QB Michael Vick 23 yards scrambled to the 1 yard line only to get sandwiched by DeAngelo Hall and Kareem Moore, WHICH resulted in injuries (later found out to be a rib cartilage injury, no fractured or broken ribs), WHICH resulted in...again, *DRUMROLL*...
-the resurrection of the Kevin Kolb era! Kolb came in and did exactly what i expected, he played like the backup that he is. hey! 3rd and long...how bout we throw it, i don't know...LONG?! but na...those short passes will magically turned into 15+yards...and even though he was 25/35, 201yds..it's those dumb play callin by none other than good ol' predictable...
-Marty Mornhinweg...callin the same ol' plays with the same ol' result...and who else does the same ol' thing? yea...defensive coordinator Sean McDermott. hey! Shanahan likes to run the ball...how bout we go to single coverage and plug up the hole? na...our players looked pathetic...AND SMD had the nerve to say "we need to get back to Eagles-style football"...like MOTHERFUCKER you spose to had it @ that style since the preseason! it doesn't take 2 loses to realize that! Jim Johnson realized that from day 1! ...a little tidbits...Mikell and Bradley could've had an interception but blew it...go figure!
-this game wouldn't have been possible without the Skins' 12th man, the fuckin moronic referees...fuckin idiots hardly called any pass interference, holdin or late hit FOR the Birds...and they're too fuckin oblivious or just plain dishonest...prolly both since they wanna moved the ball @ the goal line and causin a delayed of game for us...FUCKERS!

*sigh*
on a positive note...rookie S Nate Allen notched ANOTHER interception and replacement FB Owen Schmitt had 1 hell of a game...great blocker and hands...awesome

note: the last hail mary throw to the endzone could've been one of the greatest catch ever...and even better by Jason Avant...he was up, had a clear path, no one touched him...had 2 hands on the ball...and all he had to do was bring it down.......but he dropped it...into the arms of a DB for an INT...nice!

who knows what's goin on with this team, offensively and defensively. i thought our D was legit, but then it was against an inferior team...that ended up beatin a Super Bowl team...but yesterday they looked average and young...no words to describe it and no words to defend it. GET.BETTER.NOW!

ps
congrats McNabb...
