Will The Real Eagles Color Please Stand Up

This post has nothing to do with the quality of play or the outcome of the game yesterday. Just wanted to say that, in a way, it feels like that was the 1st real Eagles game I’ve watched in 10 years. It kind of hurts that they took that color away from us, and I never realized how much it bugged me until I saw them run out of the tunnel yesterday. The hairs stood up on my arms. I realize that a lot of the young guys are more used to “midnight green” than Kelly, but there is, and only ever has been, 1 color for the Philadelphia Eagles. The color my grandfather knew, the color my father knew, and the color I hope they’ll decide to bring back for good. God I missed those birds- and man it was good to see them again.

Winning is for the birds!

Kindof a messy win, but we’ll take it. We should have beat this team and we did, so that’s a good thing.

- Offensive line looks a little shaky, but they’re (relatively) healthy so hopefully they can get it going a little tighter. Plus the skins ends are pretty sweet. I miss Reggie.

- That said, our defensive pressure was pretty awesome. Forcing the Redskins to punt after giving them the ball on our own 35 yard line was pretty badass!

- Loved the shot of the sad Pig Pen at the end. I have to admit, I love that those guys dress up like that. I love it even more when they’re sad piggies.

- Final thought: we have some sick wide receivers. I can’t wait to watch those guys play for years to come.

- Oh wait one more thing– love that I’d take any of our 3 quarterbacks over Jason Campbell. Please Washington, keep him around forever? (same goes for Romo btw. Keep Romo forever. Please.)
