You Had a Better View that I Did

Still on vacation, which means I "watched" today's game on a seriously low-rez slingbox feed.  As much as I enjoyed the result, trust me, you had a better view of the game today than I did.

I think It's fitting that the final tackle of the season came from a defensive end (Juqua Thomas) chasing down a wide receiver 20 yards downfield, while the winning touchdown came on a fumble recovery in the end zone by a hustling Kevin Curtis.  Also, the deep pass call on the last clock-killing drive was vintage Andy Reid.  These guys never stopped trying, they never stopped hustling, and they never stopped playing aggressively.

I tivoed the last two games while I was gone and I do look forward to re-watching the games to really look hard at the young guys who finally got some snaps.  Not sure when that will come, what with everything winding down, but I'll get on it after I get back home.

After that, things are likely to slow down a fair amount around here.  Maybe not quite as much as last year, but with a new baby on the way and some other things I need to start spending some time on, the blog is going to head to the old back burner. 

As always, thanks to everyone who read, emailed or commented throughout the season.  I think we've got a good thing going here, and I look forward to continuing the conversation through the offseason and again next year. 

Thanks again.

Make sure that before your wife goes into labor, you analyze the tapes and give me your impressions on Akeem Jordan. Looked solid to me.

I think it's adorable that you're pretending like you're not going to post on the blog; as if you're going to be able to resist the first time an imaginary controversy bubbles up in the next couple weeks!

(We chide because we care.)

Best of luck with the baby.

I also agree that Akeem Jordan looked very solid. Worth a post before labor.

Hell, I'm expecting a pre-labor Draft preview.

Thanks for all your hard work. It's a great blog.

I love the blog and will continue reading even if the off-season posts are less frequent.

Thanks for making this disappointing Eagles season more enjoyable!
