Eagles win 16 - 15

[joe44va]

10 seconds left, Chicago kicks a field goal which is good but the Eagles coach called their last time out before the ball was snapped. Chicago kicks again, it hits the upright then bounces down and hits the cross bar then falls … the... wrong way. Many go home to change their pants.

Parkey is going to hear that "doink" the rest of the year.

Where was Robbie Gould when we really needed him?

Never trust the bass player, and never trust the kicker...

We get rid of him and get one of the worst in the league, meanwhile Robbie is still kicking the in San Francisco. All the prognosticators said special teams was the week point.

Yep, I feel bad for 'Da Bears. Tough way to lose.

That last split second timeout call just as Parker kicked what should have been the Bears winning field goal was a baloney cheap shot. Eagles should have been charged with "unsportsmanlike conduct"!

I hope they choke next week!

Al Michaels comment was beautiful ( if your an Eagles fan) " The Bears beat themselves with seconds left with a DOUBLE DOINK failed kick ".

Seriously??? That's football.

That’s just part of the game.

Parkey is going to hear that "doink" the rest of his life. IF he is plays for another team this will follow him.
He should have been pulled when he missed 4 during a single regular season game! The warnings signs were quite apparent.

Heartbreaking finish for us, but an exciting game. When it came down to Parkey to win the game, I knew we were screwed.

An Eagles player claims he tipped the ball. Replays shows it could have happened. It would have been great to see the Bears win over Philadelphia . Trubisky needs time to recover his shoulder injury completely. He hurt his leg yesterday also. All in all the bears had great season compared to the last 8 years. They need a backup quarterback thats consistent. And they GOTTA find a placekicker. "Maybe next year" is on the lips of all of Chicago sports team fans.

UPDATE: Parkeys kick has officially been determined blocked.

 

[joe44va]

Anyone know who the hero was that "blocked" it?

You go into battle.
It's a war zone.
All players enter the battlefield equally.

You fill your quiver with all the weaponry you can.

You hack and slash your way to the final moments of judgement.

Is this where you lay down your quiver without having used up all the choices afforded you to overcome your adversary?

Hell no. You use everything you have to be declared the victor.

You never stepped in to battle to lose.

Your whole army fought to win.

End of Game.!

If you think that Philly did anything different than any other team at this point, well... Thrust that notion on the masses.

Any coach who doesn't use every means in his power to legally help his team be successful is hurting his team. The only thing the Eagles' coach could do to stop the field goal was call time out. For good or ill, it worked. He did his job! BTW, I was pulling for Chicago.

The idiot GM that fired Robby ("Good as Gold") GOULD was also the same
idiot that didn't give Brian Urlacher a final year as a Bear, who obviously,
had 1 more year left in him (and was better than the droid they replaced him with).

AFAIK the EX-BEARS GM is no longer in the NFL.

Urlacher went on to be a first year eligible Football Hall of Fame member and
Robby Gould has scored on kicks 86 of 89 times since he was let go from the Bears!

Interestingly, Gould kept his family in Chicago while he played for the Giants and 49er's and lived
in an apartment during the season without his family! But ironically, he and his sons were
in a Soldier Field suite at the Wildcard game! Even more ironic is the fact he became a
free agent at the end of the 49er's season a week before!

GO EAGLES...most Packer fans are backing the Eagles because Doug Peterson was a Packer all those years backing up Brett. Yep, the kick went down as a blocked kick and not a missed kick...just sayin.
