Eagles @ Patriots Review

What a game, but what a heartbreaking loss. Coming into the game at a 24 point underdog the Eagles came in ready to play. Without their pro bowl QB, Mcnabb, the Eagles managed to put up a real fight against the Patriots. They did end up losing 31-28, but this was as close to a morale victory you can get in sports. The Eagles fought so hard and seemed like at the end they were going to actually pull this one off.
The one thing about this game that extremely annoyed me was the play call on the final series for the Eagles. The Eagles were driving down the field only down by 3 with 4 min left. Reid decides to call a play going for it all in the end zone. The pass thrown by Feeley get picked off, ending the game. Why try and score now while you are setting u a nice drive, already in field goal range. If you score to early you are just going to leave to much time for a high dynamic offense like the Patriots to just come and drive down the field. But, besides that Ried did call a great game.
Feeley filling in for Mcnabb played great. He did throw 3 big interceptions, but he also went 27-42 for 345 yards and 3 TD's. Hopefully this momentum can carry on for the Eagles at a late run for the playoffs.
