Jake Plummer-Eagle Nemesis

Post by LeonardRachiele »

Jake Plummer through his career was a continual problem for the Eagles.

1998 Arizona was 9-7 to Philadelphia's 3-13.  Both games were close.
At Arizona-Eagles lost 17 to 3.  In a rare occurrence, the game was scoreless until the fourth quarter.  Jake Plummer went 21 for 35 for 173 yards.
At Philadelphia-Eagles lost 20 to 17 in overtime. Jake Plummer through a nine yard touchdown pass to Rob Moore to tie the scored at 17.  Chris Jacke kicked a field goal in overtime.

1999 Arizona was 6-10 to Philadelphia's 5-11. Jake Plummer really ruined Andy Reid's first year with two victories after the Eagles were in front.
At Philadelphia-Eagles lost 25 to 24. Duce Staley ran for 111 yards but it didn't make  much difference.  The Eagles blew a 24 to 6 halftime lead. Plummer was 25 for 38 for 274 yards and a touchdown.
At Arizona-Eagles lost 21 to 17. Plummer was 25 for 48 for 274 yards and a touchdown.  Philadelphia led 17 to 7 midway in the fourth quarter.

2001 Philadelphia was 11-5 to Arizona's 7-9.
At Philadelphia-Eagles lost 21 to 20. Leading 17 to 14, the Eagles could not make a first down on third and one from the Cardinals eight late in the game.  They settled for a field goal and a 20 to 14 lead.  Jake Plummer  capped a drive with a 35 yard touchdown pass to Mar Tay Jenkins.  There was  a 134 yard rushing effort from Correll Buckwalter.  This hurt the Philadelphia Eagles in the Post Season and was the toughest loss of the Reid era in the pre-Super Bowl years.

2005 At Denver The Broncos were 13 -3 to Philadelphia's 6-10.  The Eagles lost 49 to 21.
Jake Plummer was 22 for 35 for 309 yards and four touchdowns.  The Broncos gained 564 total yards. The Eagles came from behind 28 to 0 to 28 to 21 midway in the fourth quarter.  At the Denver 20, the Eagles I hoped were going to tie the game.  Brian Westbrook was way open at the 15 yard line.  Nevertheless, Donovan McNabb threw to Reggie Brown, who was triple covered at the goal line.  Denver intercepted and the Eagles collapsed.
