We had them by the balls until that drive when we lost half of our defense. We would have held them to 3. Of course Nick had just let them off of the hook with that interception but it wasn't that bad of a throw. He gave his receiver a chance but the defender made a superb play on it. The team battled and battled but fell just short like they have in all too many games throughout my life. Then all of a sudden it was like Doug lost his mind rushing Nick up to the line before the 2 minute warning when the only way that we were going to win that game was scoring at the buzzer. I'm not sure that Nick did himself any favors for the future with his play yesterday but he battled.
Schwartz came with 5 much more than people realized but those blitzes were so easy to recognize that they were a waste of time and left holes in the secondary. He really needs to be more creative there but he's not going to change. I have seen some cool stuff that he did during the season but not yesterday and again the picket fence failed because they line up on the line to gain rather than in front of it.
So once again I will be here everyday until next season hoping that we catch lightning in a bottle one more time and I hope that some others will be here too. This is the best football forum by far and that's probably because we all know each other and aren't arguing with strangers. There really isn't any other sport close to football and the thousands that go to a game every week. I respect every one of our Eagles that put their bodies on the line for us to enjoy and don't resent a dime that they make. My wife, dog and I are pretty quite this morning along with Alshon who has nothing to hang his head over. What a great Eagle he is.
