More of the same: Philadelphia Eagles fall to San Diego Chargers 31-23

And holy crap another LAME ass prime time game.

but i have little or no faith

but realistically, we could still get three teams into the playoffs. Probably depends on both you and the Giants beating the Falcons.

i think bwest needs to call it a career.

I love this guy, but it is not worth his mental health later in life.

Bwest, you were a hell of back, and we’ll always love you man

1. Avant: 8 catches 156 yds. nuff said. Feed him the ball, and make sure some of it is in the red zone. He plays bigger than he really is.
 
2. Patterson’s tackling: Granted his coverage was average, but he tackled well, or at least better than Asante.

3. Pass Blocking: We gave McNabb enough time, only gave up two sacks. The one should be pinned on McNabb.

4. McNabb: In all honesty, he didn’t do that bad just the Eagles didn’t know how to use him. 400 yds and 60+ comp. pct. You know he can run, Andy/Marty? We could have gotten at least one of the 3rd and 1’s on a bootleg.

Unimpressive:
1. The defense: You know you lost the game for us. 31 points is inexcusable.

2. Personnel decisions: In all honesty, the playcalling wasn’t that bad. It’s just we don’t know how to use guys. One of those 3rd and one’s McNabb could have ran for. The others should have been handoffs to Weaver or a block and release to Celek.

3. Run blocking: Herremans is not a tackle. We would have been better off moving Stacy to LT and putting Herremans at RG.

All I have to say is we played better in the 4th, but the Chargers played way better than us in the first 3. Hate to say it, but SD has a great shot at playing in February.

We’ve got to be really thankful for the Packers’ win today. If they had lost, we’d be screwed.

Against this D???

I am at a loss for words.

We had to know the offense would have to win this game. Our defense is currently a mess. Injuries have destroyed us. Thanks for the memories B-West! Loved watching you.

Yeah the Eagles have had a lot but so have other teams. Benson (Bengals) and Turner (Falcons) got hurt today with likely serious injuries. Boys’ start Colombo for the season with a broken leg.

Eagles are really banged up but they have to find a way to win these type of games and they haven’t done that this season.

what’s up with Sheldon??

Thought the Eagles shot at making the playoffs depended upon how they did in these 3 games:

Sun., Nov. 22 @ Chicago
Sun., Dec 6 @ Atlanta
Sun., Dec 20 vs. SF

All of these teams are likely to go be in the wildcard hunt (especially the Falcons) or at least stick around. It wouldn’t surprise me at if the Eagles’ chances of making the playoffs come down a tiebreak vs. one of these teams or their overall NFC conference record.

Glad the Eagles realized today that Jackson is their single best weapon on offense and that they made a much more concerted effort to get him the ball today by having him run more shorter and intermediate routes. That was a much-needed and overdue change. Jackson has been running way too many deep routes this season into double coverage.

Is looming really large right now. At 6-3, the Eagles would be tied for 1st in the NFL and likely only need to go 4-3 in their final 7 to make the playoffs. Instead, there is a real possibility they will need go 5-2 down the stretch to ensure they make the playoffs and I am really dubious that this team can do that down the stretch with their schedule and injuries.

Impressed me today. Turner obviously designed a game plan to take advantage of the Eagles’ deficiencies in covering the TE and pounding the ball between the tackles with LT. Still, Rivers made throw after throw today and didn’t force anything downfield which he can be prone to do from time to time.

McNabb was pretty good today. Rivers was better.

man i just got off work so i missed the game…what went wrong? the stats says mcnabb throws 450 yards?

He earned alot of credit here in 2006 when he essentially stepped in for Reid after the Indy game and went with a much more conventional mix of run/pass so effectively with Garcia.

Since then, this offense looks really good at the bottom line stats (yards and points) but they can’t do the small things well the past couple of years – score TDs in the red zone, convert on short-down situations, and run effectively (4.0 yards/carry) that a truly championship-caliber teams needs to do in order to win it all.

This year is much of the same and you can add the issue of 3rd down conversions. You can’t be in the bottom 1/3 of the league there and hope to mount enough long drives to score.

and finish 8-8 or less do the Eagles finally end the Reid/McNabb? I say yes and that there is a real possibility that this is not only Westbrook last year in an Eagles’ uniform but a real possibility you might be seeing the last 7 games in McNabb’s career as an Eagle (even though he hasn’t played that poorly this year).

They were 5-5-1 and were then 15 minutes from a super bowl. The difference this year is that mcnabb is playing well and the offense is better. The difference also is the defense is struggling and I don’t see it getting much better so I think we’ll see alot more 400 yard games for mcnabb. And why not try vick in short yardage from the goalline. The eagles have this creative playcalling all the way down the field and then they telegraph everything. Anyway, regardless of how this season turns out this team is going to be fun to watch.

Seriously the defense just totally blew it for us so many points allowed, shame I started the Eagles Defense this week and only got 2 points off them

No Wildcat plays? Why!

Phew! No more West Coast trips!
