This game is over: 3rd quarter Lions - Eagles thoughts
Good thing I have the DVR running, as Lions - Eagles may end up as one of those "Don't delete till I say so" games, joining Justin Verlander's no-hitter.
Lions will be kicking off, Eagles start at the 20. Here we go, best buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride...
McNabb continues from where he left off, completing a 4 yard out, 2nd and 6. WOW! Westbrook only gets 5 yards on a swing pass!!! That was sarcasm, folks...
3rd and 1, and Lions tackle Langston Moore busts up the Westbrook run for a loss!
HOLY SHIT, BATMAN! We just saw the Lions defense 1st 3 and out! After the punt, it's Lions' ball at their own 29.
The Lions come out with 1 WR? What the Hell? Tatum Bell up the gut for 7. It's Bell again for 14 yards! 1st and 10 at the 50. Still 1 wide out, and it's Furrey. Kitna finds Furrey at the Eagles' 29!
Now it's Jones up the gut for 2 yards. It's as if Martz is trying to slow the game down. 2nd and 8, and Kitna is blindsided! Backus left Kitna's backside wide open. 3rd and 16 after the sack...
Kitna scrambles for a short gain, but there is a flag on the play. Offsides on the Eagles. It's 3rd and 11. Williams is back in for the Lions. Kitna has plenty of time, but hits Furrey a couple of yards short of the 1st down.
Lions MVP Jason Hanson is in for the long field goal attempt..It's up...and is wide left from 46 yards! Jesus H. God Damn Christ...
Eagles take over at their 36.
Westbrook stuffed on 1st down, but McNabb hits Curtis for 12 and a 1st down. How can you not cover a slow, white wide out? It's mystifying!
On 2nd and 8, McNabb hits Wolverine Jason Avant for another 1st down. Swing pass to Westbrook, and he breaks a tackle in the backfield, and takes it 9 yards. A run that bounces outside gets the 1st down, Philly 1st and 10 at the Lions 20. Lions defense is nothing more than a rumor.
McNabb continues nickel and dimeing his way down the field, hitting the TE for 8 more yards. The Lions still can't stop Westbrook, as he picks his way for the 1st down at the 8. Incomplete pass! Only because of a Lions penalty on Fernando Bryant. Philly 1st and goal from the 4.
Incomplete McNabb pass on 1st down, only his 2nd of the game! He had 18 straight completions before that misfire. Definitely video game style football...
On 3rd down from the 2, it's Buckhalter between the tackles, and there is a gaping maw of a hole for him to run through...That was too fucking easy for the Eagles on the goal line. Buckhalter was barely touched on the TD run...
Now 49-21 Eagles with 2:24 left in the 3rd quarter.
No way the Lions can even make a game of it at this point. Even if the Lions could continue to score, the defense couldn't stop me from gaining 125 yards on the ground. And I suck...
Defensive coordinator Joe Barry should be held accountable for such a lame defensive performance. I wonder how accountable his father-in-law, Sgt. Marinelli, will actually hold him?
After the kickoff, Lions will start at their 26. I'm beginning to develop carpal tunnel...
Another odd formation, with a TE lined up as a fullback. Kitna hits Bell for 12 yards and a 1st down. Bell on a draw, fools no one, 2 yard gain. We hear from Fox that Westbrook is hurt... Hey, fair is fair, the Lions are without Johnson.
Kitna hits Williams over the midd...No, he drops another pass! 3rd and long, Williams is brought down immediately after catching a short pass. And he gets up verrrrry slowly...
After the Lions punt, Philly has the ball at their own 23. A pass to...Who else...Curtis, moves the ball to the 31.
Mercifully, the quarter is over with the Eagles winning 49-21.
