    Jason Campbell will break your heart. If the Raiders had a trustworthy QB, they might be a scary team.

    He's been playing smart football, but that was just a brain fart of a throw.

    The Eagles kicker missed two field goals which should have been gimmes.

    Maclin fumbled leaving the ball out there instead of securing it.

    The offensive line is pieced together.

    The Eagles defense is flawed.

    The defensive line is great but they're great at rushing the passer. The wide-9 scheme they use leaves huge gaps for runners to run through and in order to utilize it (wide-9) successfully you need linebackers that can shed lineman blocks and fill those gaps, something the Eagles do not have at all. Their best run stopping lineman is Dixon and he doesn't start and actually was injured during today's game.

    The safeties are another weakness of this defense. They let Dawkins walk first a few years ago and then Mikell, a very underrated safety in the league. One thing overlooked when taking into account how good Samuel ranks, is the fact that he has always had top tier safety help. Harrison, Dawkins, Mikell all lined up behind him and now he doesn't have that luxury.

    Nnamdi is a great corner but he is great at bump and run, man-to-man and has not adjusted to the zone schemes the Eagles are using with him. Hopefully he will but he hasn't looked like an All-Pro out there and as you see teams are starting to challenge him.

    The rookie kickers were always going to cost the Eagles and today they did just that.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I can't tell you how frustrated I am but I have a feeling a coaching change will come soon. Not necessarily the head coach but somewhere something has got to be done.

    Philly would rather fake a reverse, bootleg, reverse field and throw it back to the other side of the field.

    At some point, you'd think they might run it up the gut. They have the worst goal line play calling i've ever seen.

    Changed what bets I was going to place late last night, profitable, barely, so far. But not at all what I wanted. So far today:

    Parlay: Chicago (-6.5), O Bills/Bengals 43.5 L
    If Win: Lions (+3.0) / O Lions/Cowboys 46 W

    Because the Lions and Boys took damn forever to finish, missed all bets for the 3:15 games. Was going to do a simple parlay of Pats and Chargers winning straight up.

    O Ravens/Jets 41.5 Pending

    Yes, that is an excellent point. That has also killed them the past 3 weeks.

    If you listen closely into that video you can hear the sound effect as he transforms into a jet to make the catch.

    I'm guessing if there is a guy who lays him out one day, he will be known as Optimus Prime from that day forth.
