Eagles fall a Yard Short of a Possible Victory

Eagles loose a close game at home, 31-36. The difference in the game to me was a yard, or maybe even an inch. Eli Manning's heal was only an inch behind the line of scrimmage when he was awarded a controversial completion in the third quarter, which eventually led to a short yardage touchdown run by Jacobs. Brandon Jacobs was only an inch over the end zone line before fumbling the ball in the fourth quarter. The play was ruled a touchdown. The Eagles exercised a challenge the challenge for the second time of the game, but lost the challenge once again. On 3rd and 3 in the fourth quarter, Westbrook managed to gain only two yards on a toss to the right. On the ensuing play, the Eagles ran the ball again to the right side. Just like the time before, the Eagles came up a yard short. The Eagles were simply a day late and a yard short. They were a day late because they lost the battle of time by letting the Giants control the ball for 39 minutes. They were a yard short because, they literally came up 3 feet, 36 inches, short of a first down that would of kept a successful drive alive, late in the fourth quarter. This loss hurts.
