Cowboys Loss & Steelers Preview

The truth is I have put writing this off as long as I can. There is no good way to put this the Eagles lost the game Monday night. They had the game won and lost it in the fourth quarter through sloppy play. This is not the first time that has happened, I am not blaming anyone, but several times in the last 10 seasons the Eagles have been in control of a game and just could not finish it leading to so many close losses. I was disappointed by the Eagles play in the fourth quarter yet again. Let's hope that when these two teams meet again for the last game of the regular season that the outcome will be different. Enough of that now there were a lot of good things to take away from the game as well. It looks like I was wrong about WR DeSean Jackson as he became only the second WR in history to have two 100yd games to start his career. He does need to make sure to hold on to the ball until he is in the endzone though, hopefully that lesson is learned. McNabb had a great first three quarters as did the Defence. They need to take that into this coming game and try to forget that fourth quarter. As far as the upcoming game in Pittsburgh, I think that it could go either way. The Steelers in the last few years at least have given the Eagles problems. Even in 2004, the Steelers were the only team to beat the Eagles before T.O. got hurt. McNabb has struggled against 3-4 defences and Westbrook always has trouble running on the Steelers. This game will most likely be won by the team that does the best on defence. Turn overs are going to be important. The special teams play could be very important as well. I hope that the team can pull off this win.
