Dream Team Nightmare

The Dream Team was living up to it's expectations in week one as they destroyed the St. Louis Rams 31 to 13, however things have been a little different since then. After the St. Louis victory the Eagles went on the road again to face the Atlanta Falcons. This game was a 8:20 primetime Sunday night football game for the return of Michael Vick to the city that once drafted him first overall. The Eagles had a great game but then Vick went down late in the third quarter with a concussion and did not return. After this our defense collapsed and the Falcons ended up winning 31 to 35. Then things only got worse as the Eagles came back to Philly for the home opener against a division rivalry the New York Giants. This game was a disaster for the Eagles defense because of the non-stop missed tackles. They ended up losing to the Giants and the Dream Team's nightmare continued. Then the Eagles faced the San Francisco 49er's at home. The Eagles not only couldn't prevent missing tackles again but the offense just could not get their red zone shit together. Michael Vick had a career high game throwing for 416 yards and running for 78 yards as well but the game was lost by a late fumble by Maclin. Things got worse as they went to play a very good Buffalo Bills team however the Eagles shot themselves in the foot and beat themselves by turning the ball over five times during this game. This week we go to Washington to play another division game against the Redskins.
