So close yet so Far

The Eagles put up an impressive game on Sunday versus the New England Patriots. Two plays into the game QB A.J. Feeley dropped back threw an interception returned for a TD, and everyone thought to themselves, "here we go again". But surprisingly the birds fought back the very next drive, with a TD of their own. And from there on out it was a dog fight to the very end. The Eagles D had it's ups and downs but against a high explosive offense like the Patriots, they did an outstanding job in the long run. The D only allowed 48 rushing yards which is very good in consideration that the Pats are a very physical football team and can without hesitation run all over you. On the other hand it appeared they didn't need to run the ball because QB Tom Brady was 34/54 for 380 yards and 1 TD. The downside to the Eagles offense was the 3 turnovers in comparison to the Patriots zero turnovers. And our turnovers lay on one mans shoulders A.J. Feeley. Feeley threw 3 INTs which was disappointing considering how well he did other than those 3 passes. A big part of the success of the offense was the clutch, long time Eagles wide receiver, Greg Lewis. Lewis led the entire team in yards, ave. yards, Td's, and longest reception. Lewis hasn't seen much time this year, but this game may have bought him some more. Next week the birds are playing (7-4) Seattle, who lead there division. The eagles are going to have to put up another hard fought game, if they want to win this one.
