I didn't read a whole lot between page 1 and page 8, so maybe this is restating the positives but, I hear a whole lot of bashing of the defense and praise of the eagles offense on the radio, and I just can't help but think that appearance wasn't reality last night:

The eagles 1st drive looked good, but ended with a turnover, something Vick is known for.
The 2nd drive stalled before they got in the redzone.
3rd drive started inside our 30
4th drive was a 3 and out
5th drive was a 7 and out
6th drive was a 9 and out
forgive me, but that's what we wanted from our defense. Our offense had 4 possesions at that point consuming 5 minutes total game clock. If even one of those had been a sustained drive, I doubt the Eagles offense would have put their last two sustained drives together.
Then, the Eagles had 5 first downs in the whole 2nd half.

This game turned on a sloppy offensive 1st quarter. Lots of ways to look at that, but ultimately Griffin summed it up best by saying that the offense had a case of the CantGetRights.

Next Sunday I hope we pass that disease to the Packers.
