thanks friends around the league!

so...to really make this quick because i am lazy...me and the wife went to yesterday game between the Philadelphia Eagles hostin the 4-1 Atlanta Falcons. Kevin Kolb was extremely impressive, over 300 yards, 133 QB ratin and 3 TDs (2 to Jeremy Maclin and 1 to DeSean Jackson), 1 INT (which was tipped)...however he did fucked up by placin the ball in front of DeSean's route that forced him to extend to it and got him knocked out by a Falcons' DB. both players were down by Jackson was out cold, even when he came to term had some memory loss. before that, Jackson single handedly tore through the Falcons defense with a TD on the 2nd play of their 1st posession. after that, it was Jason Avant, Maclin, and even after a few drops, Brent Celek, and rookie Chad Hall made some impact. also can't leave out a reliable LeSean McCoy and Eldra Buckely also stepped in @ the last quarter

on the defense, Asante Samuel picked up an interception after it got tipped. defense learned to wrapped up a lil' better and Trent Cole got 2 sacks (i believe)...overall a good day only allowin 17 points

now...what made this day even better was the afternoon game between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings resulted how i wanted with the Boys goin to 1-5! thanks to Brett Farve and the young receivers and also the defense for pressurin Tony Romo. also, thanks to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts winnin over the Washington Redskins by pickin off Donovan McNabb and overcame alot of fuckin penalties! ps, Pierre Garcon made an INCREDIBLE one handed catch! just amazin! also so did Aaron Fransico but i can't find it online

i'm a big Joseph Addai fan so for him to get hurt, again, was horrible...hope it's nothin serious...and the same goes for Jackson and the Falcons DB. i know injuries come with the sports but if it could be avoided, it should and hope they all return healthy

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...

oldies night in all white

well...what a night (in reference to when we were actually there). good music, great food, Eagles players walkin around meetin and chattin with fans...people were enjoyin themselves in an environment where it doesn't feel like it's restricted access to these celebrities

Garcia and the Eagles pt. 3?

now that Donnovan McNabb is off the a division rival, the Washington Redskins (thanks Reid and Co.!! [/sarcasm])...rumors of Jeff Garcia, 2006 Philadelphia Eagles QB,  bein interested in returnin to the Eagles. last season Garcia had to be let go to make room for Michale Vick - then he went to sign with the Oakland Raiders but later asked to be released (can you blame him?)

personally, i like Garcia...i think he's a great quarterback, startin or backup...he's been tested, been through all of it before...unlike Kevin Kolb, the "future" of the Eagles...only downside is...he's 40yrs old! as much as he's good, he's no Brett Farve...plus, according to Scott Tunstall from InsideTheIggles, Garcia wants to be a starter...

i do think he's a tad old...as a backup is more preferable to me...specially when you let McNabb, who's in his early 30 go and pick up a 40yr old backup...either trade Vick, bring Garcia on board and draft a younger QB...or...not
