Birds Stuffed in Chicago
A pretty ugly game ended even uglier, as the Eagles couldn't punch it in from the 1-yard line. The defense, which dominated in the second half, couldn't keep the Bears to a three-and-out, and that was the game. Give us your player of the game. Buckhalter probably gets it for me. I got lots of notes to update this tomorrow (maybe). Update: In the morning light the Eagles’ loss to the Chicago Bears isn't any less ugly than when we went to bed with it last night. They never really are, and, yes, I’m skipping the obvious joke. Bottom line, the Bird’s offense came up small, especially the offensive line. Here’s my rundown: • Starting at the end, I don’t care whose in or out of the lineup, a championship team scores late in the fourth quarter with first-and-goal, especially with three shots from the one. I actually buy Andy Reid not calling a quarterback sneak because Donovan McNabb is banged up, and I get that Brian Westbrook was out. Reid shouldn’t have had to call a sneak. Tha
