Titans 31 Eagles 13

It Was Over When....

Donovan Mcnabb was lost for the season early in the 2nd quarter, after tearing his ACL on a routine roll out towards the sidelines, in which he was hit on the knee. Basically, the Eagles never recovered from the loss of Mcnabb scoring just 10 points the rest of the way without him.

The Game Ball Goes To....

The Much maligned and for good reason, Titans defense(ranked dead last in the NFL), which held the Eagles offense(ranked 1st in the NFL) to just 13 points, despite gaining 390 yards of offense.

The Stat Of The Game is....

8 as in 8 penalties on the day for the Eagles, and 209 as in 209 yards rushing on the day for the Titans. Basically this was just an all around ugly day for the Eagles.

The Bottom Line Is....

ummm, weren't the Eagles supposed to win this game easily, I guess someone forgot to tell them. Still, far more worse than losing the game, is losing McNabb for the season. McNabb is expected to be out from 8 months to a year, so this injury not only effectively ends the Eagles playoffs hopes for this season, it could also limit their playoff chances next season as well. I just hope that the Eagles as a team, don't just fold and give up on the season after this. There is still a slight chance that backup and ex- pro bowl QB Jeff Garcia could revert to form and get the Eagles to the playoffs, so who knows.
