Alright, so I’m about to show my true “Philly Fan” colors and turn onĂ‚Â my team. After the way the game started, I cannot believe what I’m seeing. Its’ the 2-minute warning right now and I’m turning off the TV.
How the hell did we go up 14-0 at home after not allowing 1 touchdown at the Lincoln all season, and end up losing 23-17? Well, let’s dissect:
-
David Akers – Second week in a row, dude. That’s threeĂ‚Â FG’s you’ve missed, man. I’m waaaay over you. If I played fantasy football, you’d be on a very real bench.
-
Passing game – No really… where WAS it? If you can’t run the ball, throw it. Seems like a pretty obvious adjustment. And when Donovan did put the ball right in the receivers’ hands, theyĂ‚Â couldn’t holdĂ‚Â on to it.Ă‚Â You gotta make those… But hey what do I know?Ă‚Â I’m just a girl who likes to look at boys in tight pants.
-
Running game – I do not understand how in back to back games, we (theĂ‚Â supposedly 6th-bestĂ‚Â offense in the league) have repeatedly failed to score from less than 4 yards out. I’m sick.
-
DefenseĂ‚Â – We didn’t look like one of the top 10 defenses in the league.Ă‚Â Period.
Exhale… It was good to see DeSean Jackson protect the ball this week. Beautiful punt return. He’s made some rookie mistakes butĂ‚Â dude is the truth! It was awesome to see #36 over the ankle injury, looking agile as ever. And it’sĂ‚Â greatĂ‚Â to finally seeĂ‚Â a healthy McNabb. Yeah, we were missing Shawn Andrews… ButĂ‚Â this week. Honestly. I have no excuses. We laid down. I’m pissed.
I have tickets to see the Eagles play the Falcons in a few weeks, but I have no idea what type of fan I will be by October 26th. Will I be the supportive die-hard fan I’ve always been? Or will I have morphed into the volatile kind ofĂ‚Â rabble rouserĂ‚Â that would have ended up in the old Veterans Stadium jail?
Only time will tell.
I bought this Mitchell & Ness throwback a couple months ago.

HOT, huh? I couldn’t wait for it to get chilly so I could wear it around town andĂ‚Â taunt all the Skins fans I’m forced to interact with on a daily basis. But now I don’t have the guts. Damn you Eagles.
Record: 2-3
