Recipe for a loss

When a team has 4 more rushing attempts than penalties, it's going to be a rough day. When the team's inexplicably unbalanced play calling leads to 2.4 times as many penalty yards than rushing yards, we have a whiskey tango foxtrot day.

55 passes. 13 rushes. For fuck's sake, even Michael Vick, who is good for nothing but running tried to throw the ball. I fail to see how if the offense fails to pick up one yard running, it is a sign that rushing does not work. On the other hand, if 40% of our passes are not completed, well, we just have to keep trying.

It boggles the mind. This team is missing its first two starting middle linebackers, nickel back, dime back, and starting strong side linebacker. No current linebacker is playing in his intended starting spot. With this kind of depletion, one would think, ball control, spell the defense, lets give them a break and keep them off the field.

I love the Eagles, and will never root for another team. I just wish they were a little easier to love.
