Crowd was pretty quiet early in the the game, as everyone seemed to go through the motions of getting drunk, cheering, and other actions of attending a football game. When the defense was looking to hold on 3rd down, the quiet murmur rose to a very light roar. However, as the game went on, and both teams showed some life, the crowd awoke and raised its collective voice to a respectable din. So that was nice, especially given the deteriorating weather that brought light hail and then rain. You sort of stole my thunder on that Rocca tackle, but I'd like to mention another manly hit: JR Reid. In reviewing the remnants of the '08 season, I mentioned to my Eagles cohort Nicole just how nice of a hard-hitting a surprise previously third-string safety Reid became in the time since the Patriots game. And then to prove my point, Mr. Reid flattened his targeted Bill. PA announcer gave props to BWest for breaking records, to much desere applause. I enjoyed watching with W Montgomery, who said that if anyone was going to break his Eagles records he's glad that 36 did it. Game in person was bittersweet as well.
