They kept telling me, No they went 90 yds.
I wasn't able to get anyone to understand it.
Frustrating.

He should be forced to watch all his penalties Clockwork Orange style all week.

That cast on his hand wasn’t helping. A couple of times he almost had to Draw the penalty to keep Brees from getting killed back there. I’ll take a penalty over a hurt Drew if it comes down to it.

Definitely goes down as one of the most impressive drives in the history of the game. Overcoming long yardage and penalty after penalty. They were dubbing it "championship drive" yesterday.

Try it like this...

The drive was 92 yards
Total offensive yards gained 117 yards
Penalty yards -25 yards

Being able to over come penalties on that incredible drive is the mark of a very good football team.

Props to Philly's entire offense. They out performed MT by 32%.
