As a dejected Eagles fan, let me just say that I hope the Pats whoop up on those crummy Rams. And after the lickin' that my boys put on Field Marshal Faulk today, they should have an easier time of it.

Go Pats Go!

We noticed that. I was good and didn't pray for any injuries ;-)

From what I saw of the game the Eagles' coaches blew it by not running McNabb more. He destroyed the Bears with his running the ball and moving around in the pocket. It didn't look like he was doing that Sunday.

From my perspective at Soldier Field I couldn't see the Miller injury. I finally worked up nerve enough to watch the video of the game last week and think that fining Douglas for that hit is totally nuts. He didn't drive him into the turf or do anything to hurt Miller. It was a freak thing. Douglas could have been penalized for dragging him down with a tackle but there was nothing he did to hurt Miller.

They may as well just go ahead and say you can't touch the qb I guess and make it consistent. Fining him definitely reduced his aggressiveness and hurt his game yesterday though he was working against a better lineman. Douglas was outstanding against the Beloved Bears last week just outstanding.

I don't call extreme unsportsman like conduct "a lickin'".

Go back to the tape and look at 3 face masks, 1 ripping the helmet off by the face mask, 13 elbows or forearms in pile ons, etc (and that's just Faulk)and I can't believe you can hold your head up. You might also check the very first plays of the game when one of the idiots kept pounding on Little while he was down and the play was over. (it's on the tape) It's a game not war.

If you can't win by following the rules, then you shouldn't be playing the game.
