The Eagles lost to the Dallas Cowboys at the Linc on Sunday night. That sentence is both painful to type and incredibly annoying. Perhaps if nothing else, this game was a reminder of just how easy it is to turn on the Dallas hate.
Not really sure where to place the blame after that game. The failed challenges are the first thing that come to mind, but to Andy's defense, I think the home town team got jobbed a bit after review.
The offensive line was certainly another culprit. Jason Peters got banged up early, forcing Todd Herremans to move to left tackle and Nick Cole to move to left guard. They looked pretty awful against Dallas' fearsome front.
The recently lethal receiver core didn't really come up big either. Jeremy Maclin made a costly drop that turned into a Dallas pick. Donovan McNabb didn't have one of his better performances as of late, ending the day 16-30 for 227 a score and two picks.
Were there any bright spots? LeSean McCoy had some fancy moves and found some open field. I guess David Akers made a few field goals? Brent Celek once again made some plays.
Any time the Birds lose to the Cowboys it stings. Doing it at the Linc makes it hurt just a little bit more.
