The Eagles have landed... (a bit too soon)... :-(

My hometown Birds got their feathers 'plucked' by the Saints in a tough 27-24 loss yesterday... They battled hard and, I believe gave it their all, but the 1-2 punch of Deuce McAllister & Reggie Bush proved too tough to stop for the smaller defensive backs on the Iggles.

This photo shows one 'stomping' that McAllister dished out for a TD...

The bone-shattering, knock-the-bejeebers-out-of-ya hit that Sheldon Brown laid on Reggie Bush in the first quarter, was definitely pretty sweet, though:

Well, as the famous Philly mantra goes "there's always next year..." but they were perhaps one fourth down 'blink' away from winning this one... oh well, I guess it's a good thing that there is more to life than football...

Peace,

John
