I agree. Some weakness' were exposed in our interior run stopping in nickel.
Orakpo was very undisciplined in gap control. he gave up several long runs to RB and Vick scrambling. He tries to go for the sack every play. He has to play smarter and in control. Our other OLB is out playing him.
The Eagles pro bowl LT moving Bowen around like he was on skates. H e probably does that to a lot of people.

We can not go man on man to much with the Eagle WR'S. Second half adjustments helped.

Yep. He said, "He has to look at film" and "Make a decision later in the week."

Where the Hell are all the "Suck for Luck...ers"?

I think we'll be OK with Beck, the kid from Tenn, and a 2012 pick. I'm just glad to see Rex benched.

Carson Palmer is still on the market also and Jay Frazier thinks the Bengals are ready to deal.

you mean vomiting in your own mouth, and swallowing it, and vomiting it back up again, right?

This was a total team loss.

I wouldn't blame the defense at all in this one. I mean they played almost the entire half on the field, all but 12-13 snaps I think. The offense gets the blame for that, not being able to move the ball and get the D a break.

They were gassed by the end...this is a good defense and Philly is a tough team to defend with all their weapons. Holding them to 20 - not an easy task.

The only other time this year they were held to less than 20 is when Vick broke his hand and Kafka came in.

This loss is on the Offense - can't even blame the playcalling. Poor decisions by the QB and some dumb penalties early is what buried us.

Move on to Carolina and hopefully Beck provides the spark that this team now needs.

Remember how he holds things to his chest on who's going to start?

After on loss, you guys are hyper critical. Sweet Jesus.

Vick in his "prime" was a lazy sonnuva bitch who ran better than he passed. Cam Newton is a passer with godly athleticism.

The follow up should have been: "do you really need to look at film to see those 4 INTs?"

[Defensewins]

You can not defend Grossman in any way. He better not be the starter next week.

I'd be happy with either. But I'm not gonna vouch for that happening. Might as well just ride this season out and try to fix this mess next season.

Thank you. Everyone else is blaming everything and everyone saying it was bad players, bad calls, bad coaching, bad free agency, bad draft choices, bad press conference...

Defense did great. Offense couldn't get anything going and somehow only a 7 point game.

Either way, if we play like this next week we'll get bent over.
