what a great win...massive gut check

somewhat made up for the day that the phils had...me and a bunch 215 fans were discussing all day whether you would trade an astros loss for a chiefs win...

massive ups to offensive line...they were dominant in pass protect

kudos to mcnasty as well...he still has a bunch of passes i wish he put a little more air under but he was great

who saw matt ware lined up as a lb a few times...thought that was interesting

franz rebounded well but im still x'ing the boxes on my calender until akers comes back

France only missed a 41 yard field goal in swirling winds. He had a fantastic game for his first in the NFL.

I wouldn't call any game were a kicker hits a lineman in the back fantastic.

The winds didn't even affect the field goal, it was blocked because it was a little low.

France is the man. Not only did good for his first NFL start, but his kicks were clutch and he didn't get down on himself for missing one.

I noticed Ware at LB - JJ moves him around a lot in dime packages.

Artis Hicks has disappointed me this year. Not a good game for double-7 today. I'd consider starting Clarke.

TO & LJ's celebrations were awesome.

I was very impressed with the comeback. And the way Donny Mac played should shut up the "get surgery now" folk.

I know that, but all of his kicks were made in swirling winds was really the point.

Those people were idiots from the start. How are you gonna tell a man to do with his own body?

Another thing...

Considine got oh so close to blocking that punt. That was one of his specialties in college. I think he'll get him 1 or 2 this year.

However, Mr. Cnsidine was the dude responsible for Hall returning that kickoff 96 yards. Hall ran through his lane and he whiffed on him big time.

Andy said in his PC that someone sprained their ankle and would have an MRI. I don't think he was talking about Dawk. Anyone know who it was?

It was Hicks, nevermind.

Well, if you are going to get smoked by someone in your first game, it might as well be Dante Hall. Not only did Considine come close to blocking the punt, but he was really damn close (diving) on two PATs. I couldn't understand what he was doing to come free again and again. One another rookie note, Cole was out there and looked okay too, meaning he wasn't completely lost and got his hat on the ball several times. Overall, I think a decent game put in by the rooks.

TO is evil and a horrible greedy person. Kill him.

Get Artis out of there, he sucks.

He had to drop in the "window is closing" cliche, though:

QuoteThe Eagles have been to four NFC title games, advancing last year to go to the Super Bowl. At some point, they know their window of opportunity will close. The clock is ticking, but the team is still young enough to make this run and worry about other years later.
