Patriots vs. Eagles: Fan Notes from the Game

Well that was no fun.

I don't think anybody, the Philadelphia Eagles included, saw that one coming. I don't think I've ever seen a situation quite like yesterday's, when the entire world thought the game was in the bag and the Patriots came out and just flat out stunk. Sure, it has happened in the past, but never at home, and never when New England lost the week before. But you know what? That's why you play, and that's why we watch; at the end of the day, absolutely anything can happen in this disaster of whatever used to resemble professional football called the NFL, and so all we can do is keep tuning in and hope for the best.
