I’m a Rams fan, and I lost my mind as I suffered a flashback to the 1976 Rams-Vikings playoff game.

Not an Eagles fan, but there is nothing better than watching a great big lineman get a moment in the spotlight where they get a touchdown!

So Reese was impersonating Joe Rogan with his “Are you kidding me?” line?

Game winning kick? Hardly, it was only a potential game winning kick? Writers are so lazy these days.

Love Merrill Reese — legendary play-by-play guy for the Eagles. Perhaps matched only by the Flyers Gene Hart. Many Eagles fans will mute the TV announcers (esp. if it’s Collingsworth, Romo or Aiken) and listen to Reese instead.

Why were they using a spotted ball? It’s supposed to be brown.

I was going nuts because the Eagles were my Fantasy Defense/Special Teams.

While I am glad they scored, it was actually dumb. The clock was already at 0:00, he should have just stayed on the ground and the Eagles win by 1. But what if he fumbled, and the Rams returned it for a game-winning touchdown?
