[Arky]

Pass to Maclin for 11, 1st and goal at the 3.

Vick pressured, chunks it away.

Hall takes it to the 1. Makes it 3rd and goal from the 1.

Vick passes to McCoy for the 1 yd. TD.

Eagles 7, Texans 0

About the only good thing to take away from that drive is that the d-line got close to Vick a couple of times.

Close. Horseshoes. Hand grenades.

[chuck]

Bernard Pollard is a joke in coverage.

Mario and Amobi spent a lot of that drive on the sidelines. I don't know what to make of that other than their conditioning might be better.

Slaton brings the return out past the 30! Of course he started at about the 20...

[Arky]

7:56 left in the 1st quarter.

Slaton brings the kickoff back to the Texan 31.

Dump to Foster is dropped. 2nd and 10 coming up.

End around to AJ goes for about 8. Flag on the play. Facemask on Eagles +15. Puts the ball at the Eagles 47.

Schaub hits Leach for 21.

Flag on D Brown - false start. -5, Makes it 1st and 15.

Schaub to Foster for -2. Makes it 2nd and 17.

Foster for 3. 3rd and 14 coming up.

Pass to Dreessen caught out of bounds. Texans to go for the FG.

[Arky]

Rackers 48 yarder is good.

Eagles 7, Texans 3

My hopes for the D went out the window during pregame when they showed Okoye playing the Ray Lewis role and leading the unit in the chant/jump up and down in unison to get pumped up to play. If the best we got for a leader to pump up the troops before kickoff is Okoye, we're screwed.

Eagles bring the kickoff back to their 28. 4:55 left in the 1st.

McCoy gets 12. 1st down.

Fumble!!!. Eagles recover. Brings up 2nd and 11.

Vick scrambles for 7. 3rd and 4 coming up.

Pass to Jackson gets nice gainer. Ball at the Texan 32.

McCoy dodges for 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

End around to Jackson goes for no gain. 3rd and 8 coming up.

[Arky]

On 3rd and 8, Vick scrambles for 10. 1st down.

Pollard breaks up the pass in the endzone. 2nd and 10 coming up.

McCoy runs for 13. 1st and goal at the 7.

End of the 1st quarter.

Q: How many Texans does it take to tackle an Eagle?

A: Apparently more than eleven.

In reference to Mario sucking on the national screen...

Joe Theisman says, "that's lousy defensive end play" as Mario "single teamed" Williams watches the RB blow past him.

[HPF Bob]

Neil "Off The" Rackers salvages three points.

[Arky]

Very first Texan play - that screen to Foster (that he dropped) was set up nice. They gotta go back to that one, right?
