TD redeems Eagles' McCoy | Philadelphia Inquirer | 11/23/2009
LeSean McCoy failed and redeemed himself all in one quarter as the Eagles rallied to beat the Bears, 24-20, last night at Soldier Field.
Bears' Jay Cutler misses targets vs Eagles | Philadelphia Inquirer | 11/23/2009
The Chicago Bears' receivers did not wear glow-in-the-dark numbers to help Jay Cutler spot them. Cutler did not walk onto Soldier Field wearing night-vision goggles, as plenty of Bears fans had suggested all week.
Eagles' Peters aggravates ankle injury but plays on | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/23/2009
Jason Peters, the offseason upgrade at left tackle, returned after a week off dealing with his ankle injury. He was leaned on heavily in the Eagles' first drive, which earned them a field goal, and he played flawlessly on that drive, which set the tone for him during the Eagles' first two possessions. The first brought a field goal, the second a touchdown. Then came the third possession, and the play on which he aggravated the ankle injury. He didn't come out. But his play got worse.
Bears look boring, Cutler sharp as a butter knife -- chicagotribune.com
The Big Sleep lasted almost three quarters. As usual, Jay Cutler was feeling around in the dark, not sure who he was or where he was during a night game. All that was missing was a stubbed toe on the dresser.

Advanced NFL Stats has an interesting note about throwing versus running on first down today too.

playaction.
What do you need to run a successful play action pass….
….an offense that will atleast humor the idea of running close to 50% of the time…
Nice to see that offense last night…finally.

Hopefully people understand....
what running the ball means to an offense now.
Andy Reid is 43-5 when running the ball at least 30 times in a game( Ray Diddy on Eagles Post Game Live after Bears Victory)

What made us so successful
Was the blocking. We were consistently getting 3-6 yards per rush. The holes were excellent and if we must keep that up.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

unsatisfied
with this win. i guess we have a lot of missing players and such. can’t find a way to feel good about it.

I can find lots of ways to feel good about it. For example: it’s a win. If the season ended today, the Eagles would be in the playoffs. It beats the hell out of a loss.
There are no style points in the NFL. Did anybody think at this time last year that the Cardinals would be playing in the Super Bowl? Win enough games to get to the playoffs, and hope you get hot — that’s what matters, not the “quality” of your wins.

Does winning ugly take points away? I love the shoulda woulda people who are saying “if Cutler just makes those throws, they beat us by 2 TD’s most likely.” BS. You can say that about any game the Eagles have lost this season. If they convert just one red zone opp last week or score just one TD against Oakland, etc. Perhaps all the pressure on Cutler caused those bad throws?
Bottom line: Eagles did what they needed to do to win this one. It wasn’t pretty, but it beats the alternative. They came in here knowing they needed this game to stay alive and they won it, despite several injuries and one guy playing with a torn hamstring.

Way to play through pain Jason
I gained a little more respect for him.

Interesting about Peters
I was wondering why he looked so brilliant than started to get shaky..
I thought McNabb, for the most part looked pretty good too.
The fact is,we’re really really injured. We need Hanson and Akeem Jordan back in the worst way… Let’s hope Sheldon’s hammy heals FAST cause he’s going to get picked on if it isn’t.
I will take that win, but I want to see this team play better.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!
