I thought we'd get smoked, but Lee was a monster and the secondary held up quite well. a cheapie special teams TD doesn't hurt.

A few times I heard about Chip's High Octane offense during the game.. Yeah. :awkward
Romo going down ruined the fuck out of a good drive and possibly the season, but I have to admit 13 attempts 2 yards made me smile.

Eagles might be screwed all year. Physcially, Bradford can throw the ball. But it looks like he's not there mentally. He looks scared. If he can't stand the thought of getting hit, it doesn't matter what he can do in a drill or practice type situation.

I know it's game two. But if the Eagles couldn't get their shit together for what is their biggest game of the season against the reigning division champ, and their strongest rival then I have no reason to believe they will later on this season. This was the most important game for them. They could not allow themselves to go 0-2 and down 2 1/2 games in the division.

It looks like the Chip Kelly experiment is over in Philly

The worst part is that there was not one redeemable aspect of their game that they can hang their hat on and build upon for next week.

I would love to of been a fly on the wall in the Philly locker room after the game just to hear Chip's speech and to watch Murray put his fist thru a wall in frustration

Bradford is what Bradford always was. I think the Eagles are a good team but I had questions about Bradford. The Eagles fans fell into the same trap with Bradford that we did with DMac. It was always something else that led to the player's lack of success. Having seen what I've seen thus far, Sanchez is a better QB for that system, as was Foles. I just hope they stick with Bradford all year.

In any event, the next 10 weeks are going to define this coaching staff and GM. They stuck with Randle, Weeden, DMac, etc. They've seen them enough to know their strengths and weaknesses. But I will say this. Look no further than the series of downs after the Escobar catch and run which I firmly believe was a TD. They ran it on 1st down and passed the next two downs. When you have the ball at the 1 early in the game, you run it down their throat and make them stop you. But I don't think this team has a whole of faith in Randle.

Randal and McFadden are finesse runners. They need and have a power runner in Michael. If they would just give him a chance.

Listening to the Cowboys break from this morning they mentioned that DM is on pace to rush for 88 yards for the season. I hadn't really thought about it that way and it made me laugh and almost spray coffee out my nose when they said it. LoL

How many yards did we give up in penalties last night? I can't seem to find that stat anywhere.

Considering we set a franchise record high with 18, actually 21 but 3 were declined, I would like to see how many yards we gave up last night

Almost a field and a half... 142 yards. What a bunch of undisciplined goons and Witten with his FS's is getting crazy.
