After week ones performance, eagles fan didn't think the season could start out any worse. But after the eagles lost their home opener, under the lights on Monday night football, eagles fans realized it just has. How can a team, experts believed were capable of representing the NFC in the superbowl display such a poor outing in front of thier home crowd on Monday night. Monday Night, the night where superstars are suppose to shine. No superstars came out for the eagles, as they lost their home opener 20-12, and are now 0-2 and 2 games behind the Redskins and Cowboys who lead the NFC east.
This loss leaves many questions in the minds of the eagles faithful. Actually, how healthy is Mcnabb. When Mcnabb went down in the middle of the 2006 season, doctors said it would take about 10-12 months to fully recover. 9 months later Mcnabb is back and starting for the eagles. But, in the first 2 games of the season he has looked less then mediocre. Last night Mcnabb completed 28 0f 46 for 240 yards. But numbers can be deceiving. He overthrew and underthrew many balls, couldn't scan the field for open receivers, and barely scrambled when he needed to. This isn't the mcnabb we remember leading us too the superbowl. If he's not 100% and hurting the team as the starting QB is it time to bench him and look towards the future with KOLB?
Also, Andy Reid made many play calls which just boggled my mind. We all know Reid has had a lot of family issues during this offseason. Is all those problems distracting him from the game? I believe if the eagles have a losing season or miss the playoffs, we will see Reid resign from the Head Coaching position.
Eagles will host the Detroit Lions(2-0) this upcoming Sunday. The lions have 2 of the best WR in the game which will be hard for the Eagles to stop. I know it's early but this might be a must win game for the birds, they cannot slip to 0-3.
