Random Thoughts on the NFCCG Loss
Jan 19, 2009 Eagles Rumors
No team has ever given up more than 28 points and won the NFC Championship.
The Eagles got out-schemed in a big way. The Cardinals identified the weaknesses in this defense and attacked with gusto, they set up late-game plays with what they did early. Hard to be angry about it, you can’t give Jim Johnson credit all year long then want to hang him now.
What was Greg Lewis’ DVOA for today’s game, like -100? The drop on the deep ball, then the stupid quick-hit to him in the slot that lost two yards in the red zone(what, is he going to break his first NFL tackle now?). Just kill me.
It seems the emerging talking point on the Curtis PI no-call is either “they were letting them play, Curtis has to catch that” or “you can’t let the game come down to a bang bang play like that”. Whatever.
Look, if that was Larry Fitzgerald or Randy Moss getting tackled these blathering idiots on TV and radio wouldn’t be saying the same thing. They would be killing the zebras. Then again, if it was Fitz or Moss the zebras would have thrown the flag.
And to say Curtis should have caught that pisses me off even more. I don’t care if it hit his hands, that’s an impossible adjustment — getting tackled just before the ball gets to you.
Yes, the Eagles got killed by another PI no-call in the red zone in the first half (Avant). Ugh.
Troy Aikman does go out of his way to kill McNabb. It’s undeniable and infuriating. To the Eagles fans who are McNabb haters - does it feel good to share something with Troy Aikman?
