Our 1st 3 drives ended fumble, interception, safety. Theirs ended Fumble, FG, TD

McCoy is an elite elusive back. He got 184 yds. The one thing that Reid never did was use McCoy like a workhorse. If Kelly does, than that's a point in his favor.

I just think putting this loss on the defense, when they got a TD recovery, and late set us up deep in their territory is mis-focused.

Totally agree with you. Football is a lot about field position. You can't give the opponent the ball within your 30 or 40 yrd line. We had 3 turn overs in 7 plays that alone does not give the defense time to rest then we had 2 or 3 horrible punts giving the Eagles the ball on our side of the field.

Someone needs to talk with the punt returner and get them all on the same page. You DON'T field a kick inside your 10 yrd line and they did all night long. We had 4 or 5 times we started inside our 10 yrd line. One of which was due to a penalty.
