The good news: The Eagles outgained the Saints on offense, 447-371.
The bad news?
Where do I start?
The offense was 0-5 in the Red Zone, with two field goals, and an interception for a touchdown.
Michael Vick threw an interception, fumbled once (which was recovered by Eagles) and was sacked seven times for a minus 48 yards.
The Saints had the worst defense in the NFL, yet ramped it up for the hapless Eagles, sometimes outnumbering Vick on the line of scrimmage and coming through untouched.
Philly.com is right: The players have given up on Reid.
The only player to show enough speed to score (skirt the red zone) was DeSean Jackson, who went 77 yards for a touchdown. He had a nice move at about the 30 yard line to shake a defender.
LeSean McCoy was good, too, rushing 19 times for 119 yards. But could never break free totally for a touchdown.
Brent Celek made some key plays, but looked as if he left a few throws on the field.
One touchdown against a pitiful Saints defense. Opposing team...

To no one’s surprise (except maybe Andy Reid’s), New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan was named the most overrated head coach in the NFL. The Sporting News conducted a mid-season survey of 103 current NFL players from 27 teams and Rex topped the list.
The rest of the list breaks down as follows:
Rex Ryan, Jets (35 votes)
Bill Belichick, Patriots (16 votes)

2 quarterbacks, 2 increasingly desperate teams
Michael Vick and Drew Brees came into the NFL the same year.
Now, they're in the same predicament.
Both are the quarterbacks of increasingly desperate teams, the season teetering on the edge of collapse.
Brees has essentially become a one-man show for the New Orleans Saints (2-5), who are plagued by a historically leaky defense and anemic running game.
For Vick, the stakes...
Eagles Fall Hard in the Big Easy

The Philadelphia Eagles had everything to prove Monday night. Not only to the fans, the city and the owner, but to themselves. After playing poorly last week in a blowout against the Atlanta Falcons, the Eagles held a players-only meeting in hopes of righting a quickly sinking ship. But instead, there will be no need for a rescue effort, as...

NEW ORLEANS -- So much for players-only meetings. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick used the occasion of his team's three-game October nosedive to bring his teammates behind closed doors last week in an attempt to hash out their woes. After a 28-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night -- the Eagles' fourth consecutive defeat and fifth in six games...

If you had told me before the game that the Saints would sack Michael Vick 7 times and hold the Eagles to 7 points, I would have laughed in your face. If you told me they'd yield 447 yards, I'd absolutely believe you. If you told me both would happen, I'd probably seek to have you institutionalized. But that's exactly what happened oddly enough. Make no mistake, the...
