After long thought............

It has been a while since last I wrote, but really how much could anyone want to think about the Eagles! Thank goodness for the Phillies. This has been an embarrassing couple of weeks. Some trends have emerged in the three Eagles losses:

1. The Eagles can not cover a tight end. In all three losses tight ends have made huge plays. It seems opposing coaches have found ways to exploit bad match ups with linebackers on tight ends.
2. The Eagles are, once again, an awful red zone team. Where is LJ Smith? Where is the offensive line?
3. The Eagles offense seems gutless. When they lose a lead they do not respond. I do not understand. A great team answers back, the Eagles do not. How about this stat over the last few years --- 1-8 in games decided by 4 points or less. Gutless.

In trying to look at the bright side - McNabb has been solid, and Westbrook gave a gutsy effort with 2 broken ribs on Sunday. Mikell is a good strong safety and Desean Jackson could be a good one.

Go Phillies!
