In the 2007 Eagles preseason finale, which most if not all of the starters didn't play, the Jet's won 13-11 as time expired on a 35 yard Mike Nugent field goal .
I managed to catch the whole game, even though it was a boring as I expected it to be. Second string QB AJ Feeley left the game earlier, after being sacked three times, as it turned out he broke a bone in his left hand but is expected to be ready for the opening game against Green Bay on September 9th. Rookie QB Kevin Kolb did a copacetic job finishing the game with 220 yards completing 22 of 33 passes, with one touchdown, which was a beautiful throw, and on the subsequent two point conversion threw a perfect strike to rookie RB, Nate Ilaoa for a successful conversion.
Kolb has been impressive and shows good skills and confidence while he is behind center, he will be interesting to watch in the future
Rookie's Tony Hunt, RB and TE Brent Celek, once again showed me that the should be a part of this team with outstanding performances, albeit against second and third string defenses.
So the preseason is now over. The Eagles need to cut 22 players by Sunday, then its on to the regular season.
Bring it on.
