will we ever win?

Unshocking result

All the Eagles usual infuriating problems were in effect in the first half and doomed the Eagles comeback efforts of the second. You just had to laugh at every third and short failure and every red zone failure. Sometimes pathetic is funny. You also had to laugh at the penalties on every kick return and at all penalties of the stupid moron variety that occurred all game long. If I didn't laugh, my anger reserves would be depleted too early in the game. But the main reasons the Eagles lost 31-23 was they only got field goals in the first half instead of touchdowns, the defense couldn't stop the worst rush attack in the NFL, and the defense couldn't stop the Chargers on their final drive of the game. But that did save McNabb from another ignominious comeback attempt failure.

Other notes:

• Danger, high boltage is lame.
• A lot of bad tackling by the defense again.
• Samuels had a terrible game.
• I hate reverses, and I am not surprised when they fail miserably, which is almost every time. But that never stops the Eagles from trying them.
• Sheldon Brown was pushed in the back on the catch that set up the Chargers second TD, no call of course.
• On LT's first touchdown as Trent Cole was tackling him the Chargers lineman was tackling Trent Cole. No call of course.
• Who is this Reggie Brown guy?
• Do they really need to bring in Vick to throw passes behind receivers? Jackson still should have caught it though.
• Why didn't Andy Reid go for it on some of those 4th and shorts? I guess there was plenty time to kick 5 field goals for the win.
• Linebackers were weak. Insert usual tight end coverage criticism here.
• Avant is the best "catcher" on the team.
• Eagles actually put together some drives today.
• After that missed 5 yard pass to a wide open Weaver on the goal line that was behind and high, why do people wonder why McNabb gets criticized?
• By the way, where did Weaver go this game?
• I enjoyed Maclin's non-celebration after his TD. Notice McNabb's reaction on the pass? He thought he threw it out of bounds.
• Dallass lost too. Dallass sucks.
