Before I start with my observation of the game, I want to say that I hope that the fans in Dallas have a little more respect for the opponents fans than Philly does. I knew what to expect going in, and I didn't wear any Cowboys gear, but Philly fans are classless. I have never been to a game in Dallas, but I would imagine that Eagle fans are met with a little more respect there. I feel like this morning that I went to a FIGHT and a FOOTBALL game broke out.
Enough with that, on to the game.
1. MBIII looked pretty good, even though he was getting stuffed. He seemed to have very good vision going through the line. Although on that draw play in the 4th Quarter, I could've found that hole. He ran hard, and didn't do alot of dancing, he went straight at the line.
2. The Eagles, yes I'll give them credit, absolutely shut down Witten. I hope there are no posts this week about not using Witten this week. He was blanketed no matter where he went. Although he did drop at least one ball he usually catches.
3. Newman was the best defensive player on the field last night. He was everywhere. He had his man locked down, at least until McNabb left the pocket. He was in on almost everyplay to his side of the field. Oh yeah, he's pretty quick too...
4. Ware is a beast. But the thing that impressed me the most was that on at least one occassion he ran down Westbrook from behind. That was amazing.
5. We looked confused on defense when Mcnabb left the pocket. On his TD run, Nguyen was standing in the endzone, saw Mcnabb running his way, and then he turned his back and was face guarding his man as McN. runs around the edge. I couldn't believe that one.
6. There isn't much good to talk about offensively, but the one good was that it seemed, for the most part that Bledsoe was given time to make throws. A big portion of the sacks came when he was protected and no one was open. That's a good sign for games in the future.
7. Roy W. is alot faster than he's given credit for. On one play he was lined up on the right side of the defense, LJ Smith was on the other. At the snap Roy took off across the field, and got to LJ just as the pass got there. He was moving.... Oh and he looked good on the intercepton return too.
8. What was McNabb thinking? The view from our seats on that one was right over his shoulder. There was no way that ball was getting in there. As soon as he dropped back on that one, the crowd went nuts. then they proceeded to boo McNabb as he limped from the field.
9. The fans had no idea how the game is played. With 7 minutes to go in the fourth, the group of guys behind me couldn't believe that the 'Boys weren't using their TOs. He was certain that the clock was gonna run out. Of course this is the same guy who said that Philly should run it down our throats on that first and goal in the fourth? or late 3rd? Anyway then after the game, and after they tried to "run it down our throats" and came away with a field goal, he was pissed at the end of the game cause they didn't put us away.
Anyway, this is just my view, if you have any questions, fire away.....
