Eagles 12 Redskins 20

An abysmal performance last night on national television as the Eagles fail to score a touchdown in an embarrassing loss.

QB Donovan McNabb looked like crap, and although he was 60% (28/46) for 240 yards, he threw 0 touchdowns, 0 interceptions. His consistency as has been a problem for most of his career is his under throwing, overthrowing, throwing the balls in the ground. Another problem is receivers not getting open. The Eagles have two good receivers, they need to start making plays. Tight End LJ Smith, needs to be sat, as his injury is definitely affecting his play.

I shut the game off last night, mid 3rd quarter as it was getting late, and the game was even uglier.

The only bright spot was Brian Westbrook's performance (surprise, surprise) 96 yards rushing on 17 attempts, as well as 66 receiving yards on 8 catches. The other bright spot, was Kicker David Aker's consistency.

A lot of things need to be fixed, perhaps a QB change albeit temporarily, and maybe go back to the running game, as that seems to be working.
