  1. On the last Eagles drive of the game Andy Ried clearly ran in front of the ref and called a timeout. The ref then blew his whistle and ran onto the field before the ball was ever snaped causing the play to be dead. Nobody heard the whistle, and the play was coming back if it was complete or not. They didn't get five playes to get a first down, its pretty clear on instant replay.

  2. The Falcons deserve credit for the physical game they played. They ran the ball well, accumulating 200 rushing yards and averaging 5 yards per pop. Not bad at all. Warrick Dunn, whom the Eagles limited so many times over the years, gained 117 yards on 21 carries. Atlanta made enough plays to win, so give them props.

  3. Here is what you need to know about Monday night's 14-10 win against Philly, and we'll go by the numbers here: The Eagles were 3 of 12 on third downs. They committed 8 penalties. Quarterback Donovan McNabb threw an interception and lost two fumbles. Six times the Eagles reached Falcons territory and scored only twice. David Akers, Mr. Reliable, missed two field goals.

    But really, wasn't it more a case of the Eagles losing the game? They beat themselves. They tried to spread the field and throw against a Falcons defense that was without nickel cornerback Kevin Mathis and they got matchups they liked, but they couldn't finish drives.

    Even at the very end, the Eagles had a shot. They had a first down at the 49-yard line. This was the drive, you thought, that would get the Eagles over the top. McNabb had done it so many times, why not now?
