Barber got in too cleanly on that punt. He could have friggin' tackled the punter, but it wasn't his fault he got is so cleanly. That was a heady play by the punter.

That Hail Mary at the end was WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO CLOSE!

Need better coverage than that. Colston had the TD, but whoever the DB was just ripped it out of his hands.

It looked almost planned to me. Almost like they released Barber.

we need a nice long drive to start the 3rd, give the d some more rest, they were on the field a lot in the 1st half. I cannot believe after that start that we are up by one at half

ABC liquors had $9.99 12-packs of Fosters on sale.

Time for another one.

D definately needs to start keeping back side contain, esp with Bush running

Holy shtein....I think I am going to have a heart attack.

The offense has to come out smokin. They warmed up like last week in the 2nd and like the last game against the Saints. They HAVE to get the ground game working. It is a must.

The Saints are shutting it down but they haven't tried to run outside. Do the "flip 90" play where they just flip it out to Westbrook and he runs outside.

That muffed punt block was crazy. I think Barber was shocked. That would have been huge to tackle him there - in FG range for the Birds.

Come on offense...dominate out of the half. PLEASE!

I got ya one better Joann Liquors has 12 packs of Mickeys, cold for 6.39$

that has to be one of the top hits of the year easily.

Anyone notice that after the INC pass the clock was at :07. When they lined up to take the next snap it was at :08.

And earlier the Saints got a punt on the 14 and Lewis called a FC. When they came back from break it was at the 20. WTF?

It definitely seemed too clean. But I don't think you plan a fake FG in that position. There are no guarantees that your punter is going to pick up 10 yards plus however far back they catch the snap. He's running for about 20 yards there. And if the Eagles just stop him a yard short all the Eagles need is 15 yards to get in FG range for Akers in a dome.

Even Payton isn't that gutsy.

My old lady and I were jumping up and down high-fiving each other after that hit.

It looked like Bush puked his guts up afterwards too.

Sheldon had him some New Orleans style sweetribs for dinner

I noticed the 8 seconds, bro. Maybe someone up stairs thought 8 seconds would give them two cracks. Who knows.

Quasimoto · January 13, 2007, 09:52:25 PM

The Eagles need to be wary of an onside kick to start off this half. Payton has balls and he might just do it.

Reggie Brown got flagged five yards for leaving early, Jay.
