The other things that can be pointed out:
Eagles D shut down the Pack on a couple of crucial drives at the end. Where the fuck was this level of play earlier in the game?
And the Eagles O driving down the field multiple times at the end of the game. Again, where the fuck was this level of play earlier in the game?
Oh well. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year, and the Eagles originally weren't even supposed to make the playoffs (last place finish in the division was the prediction, I believe.) Exciting season, but they had too many weaknesses to make it the whole the way. I'm hoping the staff sees that and makes the right changes in the offseason.
One thing that I'll have to keep doing next year is following the open game thread over at BleedingGreenNation. Those guys are funny as shit. |
The only reason the Eagles were moving the ball down the field towards the end was because the Packers started running a conservative zone defense to stop Vick from making big plays down the field. You can't blame him for taking that last shot down the field, that was as good as an opportunity as any against the Packer's secondary.
The Packers played keep away by running the ball with their rookie and tough defense once they were up 3 TDs. I personally think if Rodgers had kept throwing the ball and the Packers kept blitzing, Vick would have gone out on a stretcher and the score would've been something along the lines of 35-10.
