Disappointing

I can't stand watching the Eagles playing down to the competition. They wasted opportunity after opportunity, ran through their time-outs, and found that the clock had run out on them. Akers missing two FGs in a domed stadium is a potentially ominous sign; has he lost it? I sure hope not, but even had he made just one, the outcome would likely have been different, as the Eagles would have been playing for a FG to win at the end of the game rather than a TD.

I am unimpressed by the Falcons. The Eagles are a much better team. They just didn't do what they needed to do to win. Sour grapes? Maybe tonight, but if the Falcons and their fans think this makes them a contender, they are delusional.

And since I was out politicking at the time of the start of the game, I missed the pre-game brawl. What the he!! is Trotter doing getting himself tossed? If he is going to take a Falcon with him, he should have aimed higher than a nickel back. Very dumb move.
