Recipe for Crow

[Reality]

The Eagles deserved to win, just like we deserved to win against the Commanders and Seahawks. Unfortunately, the best team in the game doesn't always win.

Oh, and not to add insult to injury but Cowboys fans will be rooting for your Eagles against the Giants

It is my humble opinion that the play calling/execution on the final drive was atrocious. I'm all for a running play to keep the clock running, but diving into the line three times was pretty weak, at best. How about a sweep, which would have killed more clock anyway.

It's funny...how many times do we have to see the run blitz coming up the middle and still run the ball in the middle...speechless.

Basically, an outside toss like on goal line would have gotten us several more yards...and maybe even slow down the blitz up the middle.

I understand Drew was under duress most of the game and you can not keep him back there...must adjust, but we are not running the ball outside at all...use Jones or TT with the speed and get the corners. Another predictable game...however I will give props to the Iggles D for putting the pressure on and making it really tough on us.

Well here I am at the Déjà Vu cuisine restaurant, in the kitchen preparing left over crow stew. But I don't have to get served this mess, I could have crow Fillet Mignons, with baby peas and rice, or fried crow.

While I'm eating my crow, I'd like to formally say that in 2005, the Dallas Cowboys officially own the Eagles. Congratulations -- no excuses.

But I will say that we have only one foot in the grave!

Ahh but doesn't that look like a banana peel under the other foot?

Thank you for "eating the crow" and having the class to be honest and avoid homer suicide. Fork them my friend, best case scenario now is let McNabb get healthy for next season because there is no way they run the tables.

I know it sucks @rse because we have experienced the same feeling for 6 or so seasons, so please forgive us if we go ape crap enjoying the "sweep" of the Eagles in 2005. The Eagles need to get healthy and learn how to consistently run the ball like last night. We were not expecting that from them and also came out flat ourselves as well.

However, the Eagles played well and looked to have won the game but just like at least 2 maybe 3 of our games, playing 60 minutes is essential. You can now bury the team in TO's casket (I'm kidding of course) for the 2005 campaign and look at how to rebuild or retool rather in free agaency and the draft. The Eagles have the Cash, Management team and core talent that with a strong offseason will probably be right back in the mix.

However, they will dominate the NFC East NO longer and hopefully we take the crown in 2005 but we have much work to do in 2005 to prove we deserve it accordingly. I am thrilled with our Dallas team (warts and all)
and think that we have a great chance in the NFC east if we play sound on both sides of the ball for 60 full minutes.

Thanks for the class post my friend and know we recently have experienced the pain you endure as we speak, the good news is that it lasts for awhile and then you start over again early next year.
