Undeserved?

I guess it was Westbook's fault that the NY Football Giants can't cover a punt.

It's also the Eagles fault that John Kasay, misses three FG's and a extra point on his own field.

It's the Eagles fault that GB can't stop the Eagles with 2 minutes left on the Monday night game

It's the Eagles fault that Sherman makes bad decisions, does 4th and 26 come to mind? Then Favre hoists up another duck, blames Javon Walker and the GB defense can't stop the Eagles from getting the additonal 25 yards they need for Akers to kick the FG.

Those games were there for the taking. And when it came down to it, the other teams couldn't get it done.

"Undeserved?

Oh?? The Eagles expected to win on a punt return with a minute left in the game? That's some great play calling. Let's call it what it was -- a "freakish anomoly."

"It's also the Eagles fault that John Kasay, misses three FG's and a extra point on his own field."

And that is evened out by Ahman Green's futility and failure to move the ball a football's length into the end-zone at the end of the first half on a slippery field.

"It's the Eagles fault that GB can't stop the Eagles with 2 minutes left on the Monday night game"

Yeah -- successful 4th and 26's aren't because of blown coverages.

"It's the Eagles fault that Sherman makes bad decisions, does 4th and 26 come to mind? Then Favre hoists up another duck, blames Javon Walker and the GB defense can't stop the Eagles from getting the additonal 25 yards they need for Akers to kick the FG."

Moot point about a game that should have been over during regulation.

"Those games were there for the taking. And when it came down to it, the other teams couldn't get it done."

True, but the Eagles impress anyone with ANY facet of their game? Favre inexplicably hoists up for grabs a wounded duck into double coverage and you think the Eagles deserve credit for the INT?

Should this team go any further into the playoffs, I expect to see an entry into 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not.'
