For a defense that was very effective most of the day, to allow the Bears to got 97 yards in a little over 1:40 is inexcusable. The Bears end up squeezing out a victory in the waning seconds of the game.
The game for the most part was a kicking display until late in the fourth quarter when both teams scored their only touchdowns of the day. The Eagles, finally got out of their red zone slump, and at least scored a touchdown, but three field goals with only one touchdown is not the makings of championship team.
The offense needs some serious help, and the defense came up way short on this one. As much as you can blame the McNabb and company for not getting it done on offense, this loss goes totally on the defense. Punter Sav Rocca did his job and pinned the Bears way back on their own three yard line, but the defense folded under the pressure, and allowed Griese and company to move up field almost at will.
At 2-4 and going into a tough part of the schedule the Eagles have a lot of work to do.
and I wonder if Devin Hester was getting paid a commission for every time his name was mentioned, because every time he was in the game, the commentators had to point that Hester was in there. I found that extremely annoying.
Its going to be a long rest of the season if the Eagles continue to play shitty football like this.
