First of all, that could have possibly been the most entertaining professional football game I have ever seen. The first half was incredible, back and forth, score for score, up and down the field, no holds barred, offensive showdown. It was truly incredible.
Now I have Terrell Owens in my fantasy league and he single handedly won this weeks match for me, which I had already conceded in my mind, hoping for an Eagles victory and some stellar defense on TO. But a 72 yard TD catch later and I had a fantasy win and my head in my hands.
Sean Considine – What on Earth are you doing out there?
Big Red – Why on Earth do you have Sean Considine in the game? Why are you running a zone prevent in the first quarter? Why are you not blitzing Tony Romo?
Anyway after that Brian Westbrook came back and showed Dallas what a real running back is. B West shook everyone out there shoes and cruised down the field on a screen here, a draw there, and a little screen to the outside to score. Oh and what the fuck is up with these NFL referees this year? How many facemask penalties were missed last night? I counted at least 3, possibly 4. Basically the only way the Cowboys can tackle #36 is by illegally grabbing the shit out of his grill piece.
And then the Donovan McNabb fumble. What the hell was that Donnie? You faked out your own running back and then tried shoving it into his hands and ended up slamming it into his side as B West is already getting hit by the Dallas D. Come on man, your smarter then that. And why dont you throw the ball away when your outside of the pocket and about to get sacked. Instead you take a 7 or 8 yard loss which eventually led to the following situation.
Andy Reid down 4, needs to score a touchdown, 4th and 12 and he throws the ole hook and ladder short of the first down hopping to catch the Dallas D sleeping. Not quite Andy. Piss poor play call at the end. It makes me pretty nervous knowing that Andy Reid has to rely on trick plays to stay in a close game at the end. Blows my mind.
All in all, a positive effort from the Eagles minus the a-fore-mentioned. We proved we are top dawgs in the NFL alongside Dallas and our offense is back with a healthy Donovan and we look pretty damn unstoppable. I cannot wait to see what happens when we get Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown back. Oh and DeSean Jackson, your the man, but SCORE THE fucking TOUCHDOWN before you start to celebrate. Jesus Christ man.
