So much for are corners sucking. Shepard and brown have kept Moss in check.
Oh where is james and shocky now:bounce:
*raises hand*
Daunte was running for his life 75% of the game due to his offensive line blowing chunks and being injured.
When he actually did pass, he went 33 for 43 for 360 yards and a TD to Moss. A lot of those were short routes due to him having to get rid of the ball in 2 seconds, but the fact still remains that he completed over 75% of his passes for over 300 yards. I wouldn\'t exactly call that containment.
When Randy actually DID get thrown to, he made Lito Shephard his bitch. He looked a whole lot better than TO, whose one big catch wasn\'t even a catch anyways (was bobbling it as it went out of bounds with the ref looking right at it). Horray for Mike Tice taking his ability to review plays and shoving it up his own ass.
Personally I was a little unimpressed with both teams. The Vikings didn\'t look that good at all on both sides of the ball, especially trying to run the ball (again, their O-Line was just bad, Kearse was in the backfield every play), and they made stupid mistakes. That said, the fact that this game was still in question as late as 6 minutes left was a little puzzling. Philly had several chances to take the game and run with it, and never really did until they got the TD pass that shouldn\'t have been. If that lack of a Killer Instinct is a sign of things to come, I think there might be trouble down the road for the Eagles.
It\'s a nice win to get in front of the country on Monday Night Football, but you guys have yet to leave the confines of Philly. I want to see this team go to a good team\'s place on the road. As for the Vikings...again, I was very unimpressed. They made critical mistakes at critical points in the ballgame (Dante "Fumble it!" Cullpepper at the half yard line right before halftime). I was also unimpressed with Philly\'s lack of a killer instinct to finally put the game away. To me, the Vikings defense looked very overrated, as their front seven got absolutley torched by Brian Westbrook early. What realy puzzled me is how they just stopped going to Westbrook after he started out so hot in the 1st half. Interesting strategy.
See Yuz.
