Eagles -VS- Bears

Windy city Debacle

 

Hello Eagles fans,

Well what can we say after that wonderful gift we delivered to the city of Chicago. I felt sick for about three hours after the game, I didn’t want to be talked to or even wanted anything to do with stats and sports of any kind. After the Dallas game I knew we let one get away. After last night it became infuriating and now I just want Sunday to come so we can really find out what kind of team we have.

Every year there are one or two games that reflects the way your season will play out, last year I believe it was the Chicago game. We fought a great D with little offense and when we finally muster up the points to win the game, the D loses it for us. This game the defense showed us that it lacked focus but when it was regained, the game was there to win. The offense faltered in the red zone once again, when are we going fix this problem? Do we get a huge punishing back, why the lack of confidence in Baskett for the fade route, do we really need a taller receiver?

The rookie mistakes really hurt us but when you have a chance to win the game by gaining one yard and you can’t, those mistakes really have nothing to do with it. Buck played his heart out, if it was not for him the Bears score a TD on an interception. When we needed to establish a running game he did it, we need pass catching and screens he did it, we needed blocking he did it. I really did not appreciate the fact that the commentators were extremely harsh on Booker. When you practice the whole week for what you think will be an action filled game and then the coaches put you in only four plays or so, what kind of rhythm can you have?

 

One more thing that we really have ask ourselves…WTF is going on with Akers?

This dude was the best kicker just three years ago, what is going on?

It seems when he misses it cost us a lot more than usual…I do not want to lose confidence in him but it is getting to that point.

Sunday is only six days away now…I think this will be the season for us.

Go EAGLES!

  1. Luis, it was a debacle.  When it comes down to it...if you can't gain a yard on 3 tries...you don't deserve to win the game!  That simple, period.  You know that I am a Cowboys fan, and even I was pulling my hair out!  Reid showed no imagination in the play calling.  You have one of the best running QB's in the league...and you don't boot leg him out...even once?  The Eagles simply could not pound the ball in there...if Westbrook was healthy...no doubt that he would have scored!  But you can only play with who is available!  Tough break...it may cost the Eagles come playoff time.  That's a game they had to have...luckily (for the Eagles, that is) it was early in the season and there is time to overcome it!
