The word that best describes this game: ugly. Especially at the end of the game.
Our defense was great, though. We held their running game in check and keyed on the pass most of the day. We got two picks, both in the 4th quarter. We got to McNabb several times, but some were nulled because of penalties (more on the penalities in a minute). They couldn't get any offense going. Their only touchdown came when they got the ball deep in our territory off of an INT from Manning.
McNabb was predictably completing a lot of his throws until the 4th quarter. He was throwing short all day and we kept everything in front of us. It wasn't until the 4th that he started throwing deep, and he couldn't hook up with anyone (the vast majority of his incomplete passes were in the 4th quarter. He was 18/26 at the start of the 4th quater and finished the game 22/42).
On offense, we didn't do quite as well as I hoped, yardage wise. Barber got his 100+ yard day, but barely. 102 yards rushing on 28 attempts. He did get credit for our two TDs though. At the beginning of the 4th, we got on the goalline off a pass from Manning and Barber took it in. On the next drive, again we get close off a nice pass from Manning, and again Barber finishes it off.
The 4th quarter, after our 2nd TD to go up 19-7, saw both teams have a discipline meltdown. 26 penalties total in the game, 11 coming in the 4th quarter. We had 6 penalties in the 4th quarter, all on defense, most of them giving the Eagles a first down. Plus, those 26 don't count the penalties that got declined, which there were a few in the 4th quarter declined.
A nice win over the defending Super Bowl champs, anyway. Good job overall by my team on both sides of the ball, but those penalites killed both teams.
