Eagles vs. Bengals Blog

So far this game is killing me.

It's 3 all and the eagles had a grand total of 3 yards in the first quarter. I can fall out of my bed and gain 3 yards. I know this is the NFL, but that's why you have 330 pound lineman to help out, gaining a few yards doesn't seem all that difficult.

Frustrating.

I mean we're talking the Bengals here. Their quarterback played at HARVARD. He's considered a failure by his family since he's not in medical school or law school. Ivy league guys don't play pro football, they become titans of industry, doctors, lawyers, and many used to steal money on Wall Street. Plus the kids last name is Fitzpatrick - he's Irish. Don't these guys all become cops or fireman? See why this is so damn frustrating for me?

Bungles just fumble....Eagles picked it up. It was a keystone cops sort of play. In fact, the entire game has been like a cartoon episode. Players racing around, wind blowing the ball end over end. Bengals guy just got laid out by Quentin Mikell. They taped his helmet and body to a flat board, and lifted him on the cart and wheeled him off the field to an ambulance. Hopefully its just a precaution. They guy was jacked up.

McNabb just tossed an interception - his 2nd turnover and the Bungles scored when Fitzpatrick zipped a td pass to Housmenazadeh. We're down 10-3 now to the 2nd worst team in the NFL.

Eagles drive the ball down the field and McNabb throws another interception with 11 seconds left in the half. This 3rd turnover in the half. But he did chase the guy down who picked off his pass and bumped him out of bounds.

The score is 13-3 now. Offensively, we're as bad as last year's UNLV team.

Hank Baskett made the first smashmouth play of the game. Big stiff-arm and tough run. Why we don't get this guy the ball more than once a game is a mystery to me.

13-10. Offense woke up.

McNabb just threw his 3rd pick but he did make the tackle again.

Bungles now in eagle territory....driving. Another big play between #84 and #11.

13 all now. 1 minute left. This game is going to OT.

OT has been horrendous. One punt after another.

Bungles lining up for the game winning field goal...We either lose or tie.

Dude misses the field goal. 7 seconds left. TIED.

That the National Football League can allow a game to be tied is criminal. A tie? In case your wondering, it's the first one since 2002.

A TIE

YES. Trade McNabb (we'd have been better off with Jeff Garcia), Lito Sheppard, and LJ Smith (we could have had Tony Gonazles). Also need to hire Bill Cowher before Dallas does.
