EAGLES NEWS

Buccaneers 23 Eagles 21
It Was Over When.....
Matt Bryant hit a near record 62 yard field goal as time expired, to give the Bucs the win
The Game Ball Goes To.....
Matt Bryant, who hit 3 field goals on the day, including the game winner. Prior to today he hadn't hit a field goal over 30 yards all year, but today he just couldn't miss.
The Stat of The Game Is.....
3, as in 3 turnovers by the Eagles to none for the Bucs. Most statistics show that if you lose the turnover battle, you usually lose the game.
The Bottom Line Is.....
Does it get any more heartbreaking than this one. Yes the Eagles were terrible in the 1st half, but as bad as they were in the 1st half, they were that much better in the 2nd half. Mcnabb ushered 3 80+ yard drives to rally the Eagles to a 21-20 lead, but in the end that last score by Brian Westbrook was just 4 seconds to early. The Eagles probably didn't deserve to win this one, but they should have, and what makes it even tougher is the fact that their schedule only gets tougher from here. I just hope they can back on the winning track next week.
