Upon Further Review

We absolutely must begin with ‘the kick’ – and that’s how it will be remembered in Buc-lore.  Matt Bryant deserves a game ball.  Sixty-two of them, in fact.  I’ll admit it – as he trotted onto the field I screamed, ‘Are you kidding me?’  My call would have been throw up a pass and pray for an interference call.  Upon further review, Gruden’s call took more faith.  When’s the last time we had reason for confidence in the kicking game?  That was like ‘parting of the Red Sea’ kind of faith.

Upon further review, I’m glad we have Matt Bryant to take that shot, but could you imagine what Martin Gramatica would have done had he made that kick?  What do you think?  I’d guess a string of cartwheels and back-hand-springs, stripping off his jersey and flexing his pecs, culminating in his having a stroke right in front of the Eagles bench. 

Upon further review, my comments last week… you be the judge.  Juran Bolden started out to make a false prophet out of me with that interception.  But, before the day was over you saw the hair flying again.  Remember?  I told you that’s never a good thing.  He was toasted not once, not twice, but three times – two of them for scores.  Ronde got us two scores; Juran gave them back.  How’s Brian’s toe this week?

Upon further review, Blue Adams is on fire.  The last three games his play on Special Teams has been highlight reel material.  If he keeps it up we’re going to be seeing #46 jerseys in the stands… at least outnumbering the Booger McFarland jerseys.

Upon further review, there is still a lot to work on.  Our offense never really got into gear yesterday.  Our defense, like an old jalopy, kept jumping out of gear.  But, the ‘W’ at the end of the day will render all of that meaningless – today.  Then it’s back to work.

Upon further review, the streak continues.
