Should have gone to bed

If you are like me, you stayed up late Sunday to watch the end of the Philadelphia-New England game because you had a feeling something big might happen and you didn’t want to be dreaming of a healthy Jeff Garcia when it did.

You remembered back to early October when your buddies and coworkers couldn’t believe they missed the end of the Cowboys’ wild 25-24 come-from-behind victory against the Bills because it was Monday and they found it tough to stay awake that late and, besides, no way were the Cowboys coming back in that one.

Ha.

If you are like me, you stayed up late Sunday hoping to see another fantastic finish, hoping the magic that has taken hold of college football would last through Sunday and you would be witness to a big upset – Philadelphia with a back-up quarterback knocking off the Death Star that is New England.

If you are like me, you were disappointed when A.J. Feeley was picked off in the end zone late in the fourth quarter, denying the Eagles a chance to tie the score with a field goal or take the lead with a touchdown.

Now, if you are not like me and you are a New England fan, then you have to know that all good teams have a bad game in them late in the season, a loss that should have been a win, and you are wondering if that was Patriots’ bad game of the year.
At least that’s what I’m thinking today.
