A positive note on todays game


Hairless Cat

Recommended Posts

Peppers, Davis and Beason played well. Really, the defense played decently (or at least far better than I expected). Most of the Eagles points from turnovers resulted from great field position. You just can't expect the defense to play flawlessly when they're out there the entire game.

Munnerlyn and Goodson showed some promise returning. We had a decent first drive.

I made some delicious Philly cheesesteaks.

I also started a new tradition of having a Black and Blue (Guinness floated over Blue Moon). I'm thinking I might not continue that one.

Ahhh, clever idea. was it not any good?? I like both of those, it would be a shame if it wasnt good cause that could be the panther beer at bars.

Positives:

-Godfrey making tackles!

-Peppers is playing like he's worth the money

-The D performed surprisingly well

-We still have Steve Smith

-Beason never seems content with acceptable play, he now appears to have ups

-Thomas Davis will be our defensive MVP

-Discount the fumble recovery and the BS punt return (no block in the back call?) and we only lost by 14 points.

-D Will is still a playmaker (if the coaches let him get some damned carries!)

-Matt Moore: It wasn't a great outing, but his first pass, he stepped up in the pocket and made a great pass to Muhummad on third and long for 27 yards (too bad Rosario f**ed it up)

-It can't get much worse than this week

-A season isn't 1 game long, we have 15 more to go

-We injured Donovan McNabb

-The Eagles injured McCown

-We ain't Tampa Bay

Negatives:

-Delhomme...Delhomme, was um...Delhomme picked up where he left off

-We are following this beat down with a game against a pretty solid looking Atlanta

-All of a sudden I'm more worried about the offense than the defense

-The O-line were crap

-On second thought...we ain't Tampa Bay

It's pretty good, though I admit I sort of did it for the novelty of it. I like both beers, but I prefer Guinness by itself. Or if I'm going to do a Black and Tan or a Half & Half, I prefer to go with a Black Cherry: Guinness over Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.

I guess I'm superstitious, I just hate to start and continue a new tradition with such horrible results. :o

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
