You can't win them all

On a week when our two starting corners were down, 1 turnover was enough to do us in. They played a hell of a game, we played a hell of a game, we dropped too many wide open passes again and this week it hurt us last week we overcame it but this week Chicago made us pay. Now some say this is a "good loss" it will bring players back into the fold who maybe were being too nonchalant with how they were playing.Yeah maybe, it's possible but I'd rather have the victory and the game tape of the mistakes then the loss.

Oh as for that new "we don't want to do our jobs so we're gonna make it up call" at the end of the game, hey it doesn't matter if it was the game of the week the refs in the NFL this year are something else. Erratic and inconsistent calls, rules pulled out of thin air, if I didn't know better I would think that it was another "storyline" year.

For a second year player the fact that Jeremy Maclin is almost at 10 touchdowns is amazing and the fact that both he and Desean Jackson could BOTH hit 1000 yards this year is amazing considering how long we went without a single 1000 yard receiver. we just have to start making those catches in the open field we lost by 5 points, yes part of it was a late score and we needed an onside kick to hopefully win the game at the end, but hell we scored a quick 13 points so we COULD have gotten the last 5 too. I'll take 14 Td's and one int for mike vick for the season, as I said in the previous blog when a ball pops in the air anything goes, we didn't get a single turnover this game so now you see how important turnovers are in a football game, you always need to manufacture possessions.

Next week is Houston we have the texans on a Thursday night game(it is nice to see my eagles for long stretches on TV during the year now that I am out of Philadelphia's coverage area.

The game of the week

When I heard this billed as the game of the week last week, I was like meh marketing whoopdee how you gonna call a game of the week before a down is played. But it seems to be living up to the billing.

Damn first int by Vick its been a see saw back and for battle both offenses came to play and the defenses ain far behind. Tipped passes happen, nothing you can do about that when they get popped up. So I'm mad we are down by 8 instead of up by 6 but its only one half. We seem to have made the right adjustments on the oline, just gotta change cleats and get the D in better position.

Hopefully we can hold chicago's offense in the second. But this was a great first half for both teams no injury hard hitting play some flags were missing but it wasn't terrible so first half in the books we are down but not out, and save one turnover and we have the lead at the half.

Putting this in the books so I can watch the second half
