And after a back and forth battle in South Philly

The Eagles are now in sole possesion of first place in the NFC East and all I can say is WOW. If you would have told me over the summer that we would:
1. Trade Donovan Mcnabb 
2. Still have a winning season through week 10 and 
3. Be tops in the division

Could I tell you I would still be on the ground right now laughing at you, belly laughs with tears in my eyes because that would be asking too much. I mean yeah for the better part of the last decade, it was a given but that was with Donovan at quarter back and with all the flack he gets let's be real here Donovan Mcnabb knows how to win football games, now yes Mike Vick knows how to win football games too Donovan has just had more success for a longer stretch of time.

And this game had me on the edge of my seat, if you were to tell me that we would drop 4 pretty much guaranteed TD passes, give up 14 straight points and the lead as well as get a field goal blocked and we would still win. Man I wouldn't believe you, but they pulled it out. As I said in the post I made at half time those two missed touchdown catches hurt and then the third drop by Maclin this was wacky world tonight. Jackson, Avant, and Maclin all dropped or missed passes that they are usually money on, nobody could have foreseen that and we still get a win. I can tell you one thing I know whats gonna be the focus in practice this week lol.

And our DEFENSE was awesome yes they gave up two TDs late one of them was after a penalty and the other after a turnover deep on our side of the field but they got five take aways and only turned the ball over once. Huh what do you mean the defense only turned the ball over once? Our second give away was on a Fumble by Asante Samuel after he had intercepted a pass by Eli Manning, Ahmad Bradshaw got his helmet on the ball just before Asanted was touched down. We got the ball back a few plays later but man was that a wacky game.

So Philadelphia Eagles, Number 1 in the NFC East for now next week Chicago

Sunday night football

Man this week we are outta sync. Desean Jackson misses two catches that would have been definite TD's, then Avant misses a wide open TD. Man its a 10 point lead but I would prefer the 18 point lead, or a 14 point lead. The more points you have the less you have to worry about later on in the game. I mean we are moving the ball at will against the giants defense and with 2 turnovers NOOOOOOO a blocked kick.

Okay this game is turning wild, we should be up by about 25 points right now, this is a game of dropped passes and Missed opportunities, at least we get the ball to start the second half. But this game is starting to worry me we are starting to play sloppy and we aren't finishing plays. But a lead is still a lead and I hope we can hold on to it.

Aiight so half time is almost over I'm bedding this and getting ready to watch the second half
