Heart Breaker

A.J. Feeley gets owned by Lofa Tatupu

Seems like everybody but A.J. Feeley knew that Seahawks 'backer Lofa Tatupu played for the opposing team.

Just no excuse for three picks like that.

I was close to buying into the spin being put out there about Feeley being "more efficient at running this offense." I was THIS close. But, then I came to my senses and realized that this is bunk coming out of the organization because they want to get rid of McNabb after the season.

For those of you who thought Feeley was the panacea for this season, guess again. He buried them. He has seven picks over the past two games and two losses.

The Eagles' defense shouldn't get off much easier either. They gave up 28 points and while they weren't handed a good deck (with the offense having turned it over twice in the beginning of the game) they needed to come up bigger than that.

They dropped two interceptions and last week there were at least three interceptions they could have had against Brady that resulted in drops.

A lack of turnovers has been a chronic weakness for the defense this entire year.

No wonder why the plus/minus differential for the Eagles is -9 on the year. And, those numbers just don't equate to winning football.

The Eagles are still "mathematically alive" for the playoffs, but they are "logically dead" to reach them in my book. They cannot lose games the way they have this year and be a playoff team. It's just too much; losses to the Packers, Bears, Cowboys, Redskins, Giants, Patriots, and now the Seahawks were all brutal, crushing defeats and illustrate just how many holes this team has.

I'll save that for another day though breaking down where they need to start.

McNabb should be a shoe-in to start next week unless Andy Reid is a sadist and wants to torture the populace any longer with Feeley's lackluster play.

After the third interception I was choosing between watching this or rather watching a snuff film. It was sickening to watch.

Take your pick-no pun intended.
