To say this was a disappointment would be an understatement.
Eagles were determined, technical, creative, controlled and persevered. Aside from a few moments in the 4th quarter we never held a lead. Too many missed opportunities, mistakes, incompletes that were catchable, field goals not made, etc. The list is unfortunately long.
For most of us in New England the win was a forgone conclusion only to be shattered by the reality of a better, more prepared, and hungry team on the field. Defeat is a feeling we know better than victory here, we don't learn by our wins but by our losses. Time to go back to practice - the new season starts today.
