That is football. In fact, much like when the same thing happens in a soccer game, this was a battle of two completely different halves. In the first half, Eagles played some of the fastest, more break-neck and break peoples' neck on defense football I've ever seen. The second half? They couldn't possibly keep it up, so they switched to the classic college format, run the ball up the other teams ass to shave the clock one contested yard at a time. There was no way Eagles were going to keep the pace of the first half up the entire game, and its not a surprise the Redskins warmed up, caught a break, and got the game within a single touchdown finish. In that regard, it wasn't a murder at all, but an ass beating followed by a quick recovery. Had Redskins pulled off the win, it would have been considered about as epic a win as Denver pulled off against Baltimore. By the way, that final Ravens-Broncos score is deceiving, while Ravens got obliterated in the second half, in the first they totally dominated possessions and were up 17-14 in what could have been 28-14.. Baltimore like Philly couldn't keep their defense up in the second half, and had an epic implosion on offense because of injuries to Oher, which left Flacco vulnerable on the left side to QB hits and sacks.
I'm SOOOOOO damned happy for Michael Vick. Andy Reid initially revived Vick's career, but then came to destroy it. Last year, Reid was such a terrible coach that people almost forgot that Michael Vick got out of prison, in his fourth start annihilated the Redskins scoring 4TDs in the air, and rushing for 2 TDs HIMSELF, in what is still remembered as an all-time great game. However, last year was so bad, people forgot all about that 11-5 playoff right out of prison Vick, and honestly thought about Nick Foles. Foles? Over Vick? Vick is the ONLY QB in NFL history to both pass for over 20,000 yards and also RUSH for over 5,000 in his career. Nick Foles.... hahahahahahahah!! See ya on the bench Matt Barkley
