-Were do we place the blame for that loss? On the defense that still can't stop the run? On Jeremy Maclin for not protecting the football? On the rookie kicker who can't make a chip shot? On the defensive coordinator who is clearly overmatched? How about on the coach who put this mess together? I've never been a "fire Andy Reid" guy but something has to give after what happened today. The pieces are all there but this isn't working.
-I don't have a clue how to fix this defense with the current personnel. You have to be able to stop the run, which they can't do. You also can't let Alex Smith throw for 291 yards. How you can have three of the best corners in the game and let the Niners crop of mediocre receivers be open all game long is a complete mystery.
-One guy who is giving his max effort on defense is Jason Babin. He was disruptive all game long and picked up three sacks. The d-line continues to consistently create pressure but the rest of the D is letting them down.
-Another guy I can't blame for this loss is Michael Vick. He had a few bad throws here and there but at least he was busting his butt on every play. With the offensive line still barely able to block anyone, Vick made the most out of what he was given. His career high 416 yards passing and 75 yards rushing only added up to 23 points, though, and that just isn't enough.
-How about giving LeSean McCoy more than 9 carries?
-David Akers must be dying of laughter right now. Alex Henery is a rookie and games like this will happen but he had two chances to put the game away and couldn't do it. Akers missed one, too, but a million bucks says he doesn't miss that 4th quarter attempt from 33 yards.
-I almost forgot about Ronnie Brown. What the heck was he thinking? That could have been the worst play I've seen a professional football player ever make. Even high school kids don't do that.
Something has to give with this team, something has to be changed. Someone needs to get fired or this is all going to keep happening. I'm not looking forward to the game against a good Bills team next week at all. At least we have the Phillies!

The first thing that I can say about the Eagles is that they STINK!!!!! Their defense is terrible, and they ease up on the gas pedal with a big lead. Honestly, when Andy Reid says ANYTHING, then we know that it's BO-O-O-GUS!!!!!!
