Don’t forget about the fumble by Romo in the endzone which resulted in a defensive TD for the Eagles.

McNabb looked very good for the most part but I think the problem was that the Eagles couldn’t run the ball effectively enough to take some of the pressure off of McNabb. I think the Eagles need a big 250-260lb “Brandon Jacobs-type” running back who can pound the ball late in the game to wear the defense down. They were wearing the ‘Boys down on ‘D’ until that turnover, which seem to give them new life.

The game could’ve went either way but hey, it’s early in the season. Both teams are trying to get a “feel” for what they want to do for the entire year. But these two teams will hook-up again for the season finale and it could be even better, especially if both teams are jockeying for playoff positions.

I’ve been down w/ the Steelers since the mid-late 70s, so you know who I root for. But this was a very entertaining game and I can’t wait to watch it again on NFL Network.

1. Constindine (sp?) needs to be cut. I am tired of seeing that dude get burned and get ran over year after year. Cut that dude.

2. I am done refering to to Andy Reid as Andy Reid. I shall now refer him to Mouse Davis JR. (Mouse Davis invented the run and shoot). The Eagles passed the ball 70% of the time last night. When they ran they ran off tackle and draws. This offense is nothing more then the 2008 version of the run and shoot. Except they have a tight end. Same crappy run and shoot plays. Mcnabb is now moon in Houston without the houston WRs.

Its sad……….the eagles still can’t control the clock by running the ball. No power running game. And they still don’t have size in the middle to stop the run. Its the same story year after year with Reid excuse me mouse davis jr. Its just sad Mizzo………..just sad. He needs to be fired as a GM.

HD I hear you. I gotta go a different route this year and not get excited until the playoffs begin.

Hank Baskett stood there as Ware sacked McNabb even after Donovan motioned him to break pattern and get open somehow.

I hear you about DeSean Jackson. Remember I picked him for ROY of the year before the season, but the Eagles STILL need that guy who will move the chains in money time.

No team is gonna shut out Terrell Owens or Randy Moss obviously, but the Eagles over the top help was not up to par last night. Charles Woodson or Steve Atwater aren’t coming through the door anytime soon, but if the Eagles are going to be successful in this division for the next five years, they have to find someone who can at least be physical with Owens and Burress. I would love Cromartie here.

3 catches, 89 yards, 2 tds is unacceptable for any receiver going up against a Jimmy Johnson offense.

I hear you about Mouse O. I hear you bruh.

You’re selling the home team short because while they may not have a veteran big-play receiver they do have a rookie with some sizzle. Desean Jackson has much to learn and he’s still too light in the dumper IMO but the kid’s a game changer with much upside. Reggie Brown better come back balling after the hammy heals because Jackson is going to push everyone in the WR corps for playing time as the year goes on.

The second thing is that the D is fine as constituted. Jim Johnson eased off the peddle last night by not beating the hell out of Romo with the blitz every time he dropped back to pass. When the Eagles did blitz Romo threw an INT, fumbled in the end zone, and missed a wide open Barber on a crucial third down. Johnson needs to let his front seven do the dirty work because because a secondary that has three Pro-Bowlers and one should be all-pro can play the game.

I’m much more excited about this team after this game because us Eagle fans know this team usually wins early season matchups like this then tank in the end of the season. This is a loss that will remind this team they’re not as good as they think they are but they can be as good as they want to be.

@David Mac and anyone else who says McNabb choked the game last night.

You win as a team, you lose as a team. That fumbled hand off no more lost the game than Considine not covering over the top on TO’s first touchdown or the special teams letting Felix Jones run back that kickoff. No one plays a perfect game but I’ll tell you this right now, I’d still take McNabb over any other player if I had to start a team in the NFL because the man has made chicken salad out of chicken crap his whole career and last night showed he can still do it.

In case ya’ll don’t know or forgot:

FLY EAGLES FLY!!!

Another thing to check out as the season goes is if Donovan’s targets can break free, make big catches and move the chains in money time.

The Eagles have glaring weaknesses that most likely will cause them Super Bowl shine…Big play (veteran) wide receiver and a big physical defensive back to deal with Jacobs, Terrell Owens and Plaxico Burress.

Take the case of the Cleveland Browns. Dallas smoked them. Pittsburgh did not. Does that Dallas will beat Pittsburgh on Dec. 7th? Not at all. It really doesn’t mean anything except that Cleveland is 0-2.

I think Dallas and Philly will be fine, but I can’t say I really know how good they are. I’m going to take a page out of your book and wait until next week. I usually reserve opinions about team strength until Week 4. I like the Steelers, though. Brett Keisel is injured. I’m not sure who will take his place on the d-line. Aaron Smith had 2 sacks and Casey is Casey. Polamalu’s back. It’s all good.

I really think Washington is going to throw a big old monkey wrench into someone’s plans in the conference. They’re not a patsy. If the Eagles and Cowboys don’t figure out how to play better pass defense, Moss, Cooley and Portis are going to go berserk.

I know the ‘Skins have a lot of growing up to do, but they know everyone in the conference intimately and they’re going to beat at least two of those teams once.

I don’t really like either team (Go Pittsburgh!!), but I think the Eagles are probably going to be stronger as the season progresses. They seem to have more upside than the Cowboys since so many pieces were missing.

Great game.
