Eventhough Tony "the Homo" Romo is from Burlington, Wisconsin (I know he wasn't BORN here) I was "extremely pleased" to see the Cowboys DESTROYED by the Eagles.

I've hated the Cowboys dirty stinkin' guts ever since they kept my beloved GREEN BAY PACKERS (winners of TWELVE NFL Championships and THREE Super Bowls) from advancing in the playoffs for what, three straight years in the early 90s? Filthy dirty stinkin' Cowgirls.

NOW.....if only the Eagles can do my bidding and destroy the Vike-Queens.

and you don't hate the Eagles after the 4th and 26 play?



a refresher

After an exchange of punts, the Eagles got the ball on their own 20-yard line with 22 left in regulation.

Staley started the drive with a 22-yard run, but over the next two plays, McNabb threw two incompletions. On third down the Eagles were penalized 5 yards for a false start. On the next play, McNabb was sacked for a loss of 11, pushing the Eagles back to their own 25 yard line, and left them faced with a fourth down with 26 yards needed to convert a first down, with only 1:12 remaining and no timeouts available.

The play (74 Double Go) called for a 25-yard slant running route for wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, and saw McNabb toss a perfect 28-yard strike to Mitchell deep into the Packers secondary. Mitchell was supposed to be covered shallow by Nick Barnett and deep by Darren Sharper, but Barnett was distracted by a tight end and didn't cover him. Sharper stayed well past the first down markers, inexplicably playing for an interception, which would have been a worse result than an incompletion because it would have resulted in a huge net loss of field position. Packer safety Bhawoh Jue saw Mitchell running free and ran over to deliver a hit, but he was too late. Mitchell completed a leaping reception and was brought down at the Packers 46, giving the Eagles a first down.

The play set up David Akers' 37-yard field goal attempt after McNabb ran for another first down. The field goal was good, and the game went into overtime, where Eagles star safety Brian Dawkins was able to intercept a Packers pass and return it 35 yards, setting up another Akers field goal try. The 31-yard kick was good, giving the Eagles a dramatic 20-17 victory in sudden death overtime. The play helped send the Eagles to their third straight NFC Championship Game.

Only to lose.

Again.

No, I don't hate Philly like I hate Dallas, and Minnesota.

I like Andy Reid.

Andy Reid was "our guy".

I wish the best for him.
