Eagles tie, die
Rich Hofmann, Daily News Sports Columnist
Overtime in Cincinnati.Not exactly like April in Paris, if you know what I mean.
What a disaster. What an absolute disaster. This final score -- Bengals 13, Eagles 13 -- is more than a terrible result. It is the end. If you can find a way for the Eagles to get out of this mess now, you have better eyes than I do.
It wasn't supposed to be like this, of course. The Eagles were nearly double-digit favorites coming into this game against a Bengals team that had won only once all season. This was supposed to be the game where they played well and built momentum for their playoff push. This was the plan.
Instead, they came out and played a dreadful offensive first half. Quarterback Donovan McNabb was erratic and had four turnovers for the day, three interceptions and a fumble. There were a bunch of dropped balls, too. It was just a terrible offensive game in a huge spot -- long-yardage, short-yardage, the whole thing.
Watching it play out really did have a slow-motion, nine-car pileup look to it. For the longest time at the end, you never really thought the Eagles might win the game. The only question was if they would lose it. But with 7 seconds left, the Bengals' Shayne Graham missed a 47-yard field goal that would have won it, wide right. Oh, happy day.
simply stunning— Diamond Jim Brady

- I can't agree with Rich more. The offense was dreadful. Questionable play callings. Can't covert 3rd & 1. Yes, Tie is better than "L" and that's the only bright spot after today's game.— kansaiman

- Reid is such a fool - why did he call a time out at 2:08 to go in OT - does he not know there is a two minute warning in OT???? You will never win with a coach who is behind the game - instead of anticipating - or dictating like the Giants do - he is always playing catch up he is always behind. Fire Reid draft a 350 lb DT to help stuff the run and get Spags back down here to coach. ANd trade 5 to the Vikings.— gb2007

- OH My God. McNabb just said in his press conference that he didn't know there were ties in the NFL. Shocking, just shocking.
- What can you expect from a team that lost to the Bears, who today lost for the first time in years in Green Bay whenn the Packers ran them off the field and gutted them. They accomplished what the Eagles could not do, running TDs, and made Kyle O. look like Goldie Locks and not the second coming of Favre that he looked like against the Eagles. A good indication of how low the Eagles have fallen. Start the rebuilding NOW!— atp2007
