it was more like a plea for the spirit of Anthony Munoz to infect Artis Hicks.

They are great at pass blocking, marginal as run blockers.....and that's probably by design.

I'd settle for one of them to open a hole like Ron Jeremy.

More like they are halfway good at pass blocking, and they suck ass at run blocking.

Question.  How do you have 4 false start penalties.... AT HOME?!?! :-D

I won't even get into the 3 illegal shift penalties.  :-\

How about having 12 men on the field during a punt?  Who the hell isn't sure whether or not they play special teams?  :boom

No, one. Hicks had one, Runyan had 1 or 2.

Runyon? And he's a big time vet. Whats up with that? I guess bad play is infectious, the whole offense is infected.

The OL looked pretty darn good today in pass protection, considering the Chargers run that tricky 3-4 that always gives the Eagles fits, and they were 85% sure that every play called was a pass.

You can't blame the line for looking like crap run-blocking.  How are they supposed to remember how to do that?

I saw one of those Parry-alone-in-the-backfield plays, there wasn't a single linebacker in the middle of the field. Not only do teams not respect the remote possibility of Parry getting the ball, but they don't respect McNabb taking off either.

Parry had a pretty nice catch today on a ball thrown away from his stride.  I think it might have been called back on a penalty, though.  His hands definitely looked better than Spach's, FWIW.

BTW, Spach lined up at "H-Back" more than once today, but motioned into the TE spot every time.

totally agree...i dont know how anyone can complain about their pass protect...theyve been for the most part great all year...and when you include fact that the qb cant throw...outside of TO the wr's are horrific and the play calling is abominable they look even better...

IGY, as usual you are exaggerating to get a rise out of us.  McNabb obviously CAN throw, just only about 80% as well as usual, and both Lewis and Reggie Brown seem to be getting some separation at times, but his reads are usually T.O., L.J, then Westbrook.  I wouldn't say they are "horrific".  You're right about the play-calling though.

call em what you want but the eagles have arguably the worst #2 and 3 wr's in the nfl

mcnabb cant physically make many of the throws he needs to...and is off a lot of the time on the ones he can make...obviously i was hyperbolizing but theres no way hes at 80% capability in his passing game
