We got some calls tonight, and they got some calls too, but I've never seen a perfectly officiated game, and probably never will. I hope that doesn't turn into the narrative, because that doesn't come close to explaining the final score.
Big time win. Also, I have zero inclinations that the leaders in that locker room will allow this team to get complacent after that win. It's going to be lunch pail game after lunch pail game from here on out.

This!
The officials didn't win or lose either side the game. Over 66% time of possession and 4-1 TO ratio won it. Actually a fantastic game plan; keep their O off the field.
Only criticisms are the goal and go series was trying to be too clever, and TH again throwing a pick where his ambition exceeds his talent. If only he had a cannon...
All they can do now is move on and build their confidence from this. Who knows, beat the Giants twice and the Cowboys and maybe a wildcard isn't just wishful thinking. And we've shown teams how to beat the Iggles too.
