-{}-Eagles wings clipped by Raiders??? Jerimiah Trotter to blame!-{}-

The high flying Eagles offense that made Tampa Bay look pedestrian, are in the 3rd quarter of a game that should be a clinch win. Instead the Eagles have allowed 5 sacks, and have only 2 field goals (2 missed) and are letting the Raiders defense look superhuman! it's not helping that the Raiders are getting a lot of "Home Cooking" calls as well as no calls, but the game should still not be this out of hand with less than a touchdown lead! To make matter worse, Desean Jackson is injured on a punt return where he was clearly out of bounds, and no flag was thrown. If I didn't know better, I would swear I was looking at a game of Madden 10 on the All - Madden difficulty setting. Things had better turn around quickly or the Eagles season could begin a downward spiral as teams loose fear, and pin their ear back, going balls to the wall to get after McNabb and their make-shift offensive line!

Well the game ended, and the refs kept their hands in their pockets as far as the Eagles were concerned. Jemarcus Russell played well enough to win, but who is really to blame?

Jerimiah Trotter was abused today, whether covering the tight end, or the fullback out of the back field...the old grey mare just ain't what he used to be. The Axe Man looked like the old dull butcher knife instead and when confronted with the opportunity to make the biggest play of the defense the entire game, he is abused for his lack of speed and recognition when Russell makes him hesitate on a play action pass to one of the slowest players on the feild, the fullback. Back to the drawing board for Big Red and the defense... they better get it figured out before they meet some real contenders!

Raiders arent bad? did you see the game last week? Missed tackles, assignment etc...its on more than coaching or ownership..even though they dont help

IMO the Raiders are bad..****ssell cant make the correct reads fast enough...and rushes throws, most of the reason hes so inaccurate. ANd O-Line cant block. Defense is ok, when they call the right plays (coaches) and keep assignments (players) and its more than one game. Winning for them depends on IF the offense gets lucky and scores. But for the most part the D is good.

BTW always been a Rams fan....so not really a "hopper"
