Eagles - Bears re-cap.

Is Andy Falling Asleep on the Job?


BRUTAL.





I put this loss directly on Andy Reid. As I watched this game, I just kept asking, why arent they using Brian Westbrook more, where is Westbrook, why do they contiune to throw the ball every down. This game was lost, due to the coaching staff.





The fact that Westbrook in a game that close had only 11 touches is just unexplainable. Its obvious that the Eagles offense is extremly poor at this point and to not put the ball in Westbrooks hands as many times as possible is idiotic.





It might be time to sit Donovan McNabb. I have been the biggest McNabb supporter, but he made at least 3-4 throws that I recall that should have resulted in big plays and didnt. He is playing scared and him playing scared is causing this team to fail.





This game wasnt lost due to the inabilty to run the ball or the WR inabilty to get open. It was lost due to the two faces of this franchise over the last nine seasons and their inabilty to compete at the same level they did 3 or 4 seasons ago.





Was there anything wrong with the 4.9 yards per carry the Eagles had during the game? Meanwhile they decided to throw the ball 34 times at 6.6 yards per pass...BRUTAL. I have never coached an football game ever, but if I did I'D continue to run the ball if I was peeling off almost 5 yards per attempt.





And if I am going to throw the ball, I have a new idea. I am putting Kevin Curtis in the slot where he belongs and giving Hank Baskett or Jason Avant the starting spot on the outside. And oh yeah, the tight end position has been abysmal, so here is an idea, keep them in to block and run the ball.





On the defensive side of the ball, it was the same story. The D played well, but didnt make the big play and gave up over 300 yards passing to Brian Griese who is...you guessed it BRUTAL.





No enough pressure and no big plays, thats been the story for this D. They have played well and giving up just one TD is another great game but they gave up a 97-yard TD in the final 2-minutes of the game that sealed the deal. I applaud them for playing a good game, but it would have been great if it made one play in that final drive.





Hester wasnt a factor, but beacuse of it they bears kept getting a short field.





In the end, the stats say the Eagles should have won this game, but the stats lied and the Andy and his staff failed.





2-4 onto Minnesota with the season on the line.








see you at Chickie's and Pete's and talk to you on the radio....
