After this summer's off season move, and this season's 1st bout between the two rival franchises...which left Eagles fans quiet and praying for a fast Michael Vick recovery...this week's Monday Night Football match up was "highly anticipated," to say the least.
With a high string offense led by Vick, and an overly assertive and aggressive defense, the Eagles jumped out to a quick 35 - zip lead on the Skins. As Washington fans spent more time at the concession stands and OFF of their Twitter accounts, the match shaped up to be one of the more disappointing MNF competitions of the "middle aged" season.
The Philadelphia Eagles broke record after record. And seemingly, as they trampled the likes of a "slower than DeSean" Laron Landry, an overweight, underachieving Albert Hainesworth, and a newly extended Donovan McNabb (5 years/$78 million...$40 million guaranteed), the ongoing Michael Vick chatter and doubt faded away...almost as quickly as he scrambled in and out of the pocket, connecting to Jason Avant after a 7 second "QB wait time," to extend the 3rd quarter lead, 52 - 21.
As a matter of fact, The Philadelphia Daily News plastered Mike on this morning's front cover and titled his article "VICKTIMIZATION." I find that ironic. These are the same media SLUNTS who, bashed and questioned Andy Reid for recommending the signing just two years ago. I guess, when you win...you win.
SCREAM @ ME!!!
