DeSean Jackson, that was stupid. Very, very stupid.
Well, the priest (a lovely man) just left our house. The exorcism worked!!! I was so happy I sent him home with an extra tray of lasagna. Feeling very generous these days. You understand.
Now, it’s time to get down to some dirty work. The doorbell just rang. It’s obviously DeSean Jackson. I’m going to make him take his shoes off – we don’t do that around here but he doesn’t know that and this will be a one time visit only.
Well, That Was Pathetic
As You-Two-Calm-Down-or-I’m-Turning-Off-the-TV Dad pointed out, we should probably issue an APB for the Eagles. Who were those guys in the green jerseys yesterday, and what did they do with our team?
We literally could not do a single thing right. The line couldn’t protect McNabb. When they did, receivers couldn’t get open. When they did, McNabb couldn’t get the ball to them. When he did, they couldn’t catch it. When they did, they couldn’t move the chains.
For chrissakes, Andy Reid decided to go for the 53 yard field goal rather than going for it on 4-2 on the Cowboys 35. And Akers MISSED.
Another win…
Another step closer to our 6th NFC East title in the Reid/McNabb era.
I expected this to be a more dominating win. Not that the 49ers are bad – their whupping of the Cardinals last week showed that they’re actually a pretty decent team – but I expected more of our team.
Hey Giants: Here’s a Quarter – Buy Some Defense
So here’s how the game went: run-run-run-score (Giants). LOOOOOOOONG pass-score (Eagles). Run-run-run-score (Giants). LOOOOOOONG pass-score (Eagles). Not exactly a defensive grind it out win. Did both teams’ defenses accidentally go to the Linc? If I had a quarter for every time I yelled, “TACKLE him, DONKEY!” I…well, I wouldn’t be able to retire, but I’d certainly be able to get a nice pair of shoes. We couldn’t stop Brandon Jacobs to save our lives.
On the other hand, they couldn’t stop DeSean. I think opposing defenses are going to have to start sending their safeties back to the end zone. “I know they’re at their own 3. Back up. No farther. No, FARTHER. Look, just head for the parking lot until I yell STOP!”
Victory – but at what cost?
Once again, the Eagles found a way to win. OK, you can definitely argue that it never should have been close in the first place (although the Redskins seem to have found new life in the past few weeks), but doing well in the post-season requires being able to win close games. We’ve needed points – we’ve gotten points (that may be because we finally have some skill players on offense who actually have, you know, some skills). We’ve needed long drives to eat up the clock – we’ve gotten long drives to eat up the clock (hello, run game!). We’ve needed our nearly linebacker-less defense to make big stops – we’ve gotten big stops. We needed decent clock management – we actually got decent clock management (maybe you *can* teach an old dog new tricks).
