Bronco Nagurski came out of his grave to say "great game, guys. That's how football is supposed to be played." He then followed up with "Dave, you fucking putz, quit throwing so many interceptions."

Game recap:
PHILADELPHIA - By far the most defensive Eagles' game this season, but one they'd like to forget.
"I am embarassed by my offence," said coach Dave. "That was disgraceful, letting a great defensive performance like that go to waste."
That said, it was also a brilliant defensive performance by Coach Gangsta's Jets, who cover the short pass better than any team the Eagles have faced this season.
Jets took a 9-0 lead into the half after a 56-yard FG by Jay Feely. Kerry Rhodes' 51-yd INT TD closed out the scoring.
Eagles' QB Donovan McNabb was bewildered throughout this one and his receivers dropped a few they shouldn't drop, but 3 INTs is 3 INTs and two of the three were legit. One, a pass to Maclin, McNabb swore was a catch but magically ended up in Calvin Pace's hands.
Scouting report on GangstaEStyle:
A) First and foremost - you should change your PS3 gamertag. Terrible. When I saw you in the room, the first thing I thought was "balla". Houtz vouched for him, so I gave him a shot. Other than the fact I lost, I'm glad I did. This guy is 100% str8, legit. I would play him 1,000 more times (hopefully with better results).
B) Ultra conservative on offence. He loves to pound the rock. Can get too predictable running the rock. He always runs to the left ... it's worse than a poker tell.
C) Uses all his receivers, but had trouble with my constant pressure. My guess is he doesn't play guys who play like I do on D very often. Rushing three guys is not my style.
D) On defence, he's first-rate in both areas of the game. His short pass defence was unreal in our game. Passes that are usually automatic, weren't. His run D was stifling.
E) Funny part about this guy though is he really isn't that manual a player. His schemes caused me way more headaches than anything he did manually. His hitstick was OK, but nothing he did manually made me worry. He just ran a great gameplan and didn't beat himself.
Game note:
Just a question for anyone - have you ever noticed the game not giving your guy a stat? The first play of the game, I hit an 18-yard catch to Jeremy Maclin (sadly, the highlight of my offence). Anyway, on his next catch, they said he had 1 catch for 10 yards. I was baffled.
