I don't know which game was worse to watch. The season opener where they gave the game away. Or this game, where I'm not sure if the eagles actually tried to win. The eagles looked like a team that has no shot at any playoff hopes, and deserves to be in the bottom of the division. The eagles couldn't find then end zone in this competition and lost 16-3 to the giants, falling to 1-3 on the year. Mcnabb went 15/31 for 138 yards, but completions weren't the main problem. Mcnabb was sacked 12 times, yes 12 times.
At right tackle the eagles decided to start a 2nd year player Winston Justice. This was is first start of his young and possibly short career. He was matched up against a decent Umenyiora. Justice allowed Umenyiora to get to Mcnabb 6 times. Thats more sacks then most players in an entire season. The question is why in the world would Andy leave Justice in while he was being dominated the entire game. Atleast give him some help if you going to leave him in. That also leaves the question, is Andy's head really in the game or is his mind on his family issues. A lot of questioning is coming out that Ried may leave before the season is over.
The eagles have a bye week, at least they can't lose this week, a will return to the field in week 6 against the Jets. The bye week comes at a perfect time allowing a banged up eagles team to get healthy.
