Philly beats you with big plays this year. We took that away and challenged them to beat us in another way. They got close. But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Slingin Sammy has it right--the D was fine, but the dang O couldn't ice the game, AS USUAL!!!! That's where I was freaking out. We NEVER get that last first down to ice it and take a knee. We are always relying on our D to save our bacon at the end. How about, JUST ONCE, a first down to end it on offense?

The game should have ended when Torain got 7 on first down. Then it's two plays to get three yards and we take a knee. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO. False ****ing start. 2-8. Run gets two. Incomplete pass. We punt--LAMELY. Can we ever get a clutch ****ing punt???? And you want to blame it on the D, which took away philly's real weapons, a D which got TORCHED in the secondary in the first couple of games. Sure, the D can do more, no doubt. But that ending was not the Ds fault.

A huge win. But, man, we never make things easy, do we? A holding call and a dropped hail-Mary in our wins. But a win is a win is a win.
