will we ever win?

Delhomme, go home

Another cakewalk to victory for the Eagles and another "boring" game. So boring OB read the Inquirer for most of the second half. Even though it was the Eagles largest margin of victory this year is was also the offense's lowest output -- 283 yards. The offense sputtered alot, McNabb threw numerous bad passes, the run game was horrible against the 31st ranked run defense, the tight ends vanished along with FredX and even TO in the second half, there were way too many 3 and outs and only 4 of 11 third down conversions.

But on the other side of the ball the defense stepped up, except on run defense between the 20s. Davis and Hoover (who is Hoover?) gained a total of 129 yards on a total of 26 carries. Is the defense ever going to address the run defense problem? In the post game interviews they mention it every week and every week its the same. Kearse had the play of the game in crushing Dehomme in a helmet to SHOULDER PAD hit which did significant damage to an already skittish QB. It was after that hit that Delhomme tossed up horrible throws for interceptions with Lito Sheppard doing the most with his pick with the most impressive interception return for a TD I've seen in a long time. Special teams also quietly did its job to round out the scoring. A solid team win with the Eagles not even playing their "A" game.
