Bright spots

Ok, no need to start anymore negative threads, there are enough of those. So let's take a look at the few positives that I saw in this game. Here they are:

Julius Peppers: He got after it. True, his big plays happened after the game was out of hand, but he was forcing the issue all game. I have no concerns about him.

Captain Munnerlyn: Considering he is a rookie picked in the 7th round, he really held his own out there. He wasn't outstanding, but he did his job and didn't make any critical errors. He earned my trust. He also did a good job returning punts.

Thomas Davis: No explanation necessary.

Damione Lewis: I thought Lewis looked good. He showed a lot of hustle catching several guys from behind and recovering a fumble. I never noticed him getting pushed around either.

Jason Baker: Punted the ball well. Solid punter.

Actually I thought the defense did a pretty good job. Couple of breakdowns but over all not bad.

I would add

Louis Leonard: Showed well against the run when he was in, also did well in pass pressure albeit when the game was too far gone.

Johnathan Stewart: What injury?

Mike Goodson: Looked great returning kicks all day. Not so much as the RB

I was expecting the defense to be absolutely horrible today, and they proved me wrong. They weren't beastly, but they looked a lot better than in the pre-season. Dont' get me wrong. They need to improve, but their pedestrian performance was completely overshadowed by everything that went wrong in the game.

Oh yeah, I meant to include Goodson as KR. He showed his speed and managed to get past the first wave every time he ran with it. Too bad he fumbled as RB.

I think we should stick with Goodson as KR and Munnerlyn as PR. They both did better than I expected.

Thomas Davis turned on beast mode today. He was phenomenal.

[Blitz]

Are you kidding? the defense as a unit was pitiful. Almost 200 yards rushing. Backup qb moved the ball at will. The play calling is horrid or maybe its just the scheme. They gained almost 5 yards on every 1st down play.

Bright spots hmm

I still have a job, my beer was cold, my la-z-boy is comfortable, my HDTV is still sweet, and I got half drunk and watched football.

Eagles put up 185 yards rushing vs. 82 yards passing.

Which unit of the defense didn't show up?

[Carl Spackler]

Bright spots: Thomas Davis, and the fact that it was sunny outside.

Don't get me wrong I was pissed up until halftime, then I reached acceptance.
