That’s the mantra of the Eagles, who, at the quarter pole of the season have lost three of their first four games by making at least one more mistake than the opposition.

Even the good plays were quickly offset.
One thinks the ideal situation for him would be to do well with the Eagles, and then go home to New England and coach the Patriots when Bill Belichick retires. Murray has 47 yards on 29 attempts this season including a 30-yard gain last week while Mathews has 132 yards on 33 carries. The quarterback is struggling, the wide receivers are dropping passes and the offensive line is not protecting well enough.
Let’s face it, Bradford and his contract and health was a problem for St. Louis, and one that would have at best justified a late round pick to take a chance and take him off the Rams’ ledger. At 33 yards, it was identical to an extra point.
The second half was a lot better. They saw first hand what he did at Oregon and would love nothing better than to bring that proven success to southern California.
Last month, Stallone also came out with a statement to say that the Philadelphia Eagles made a wrong move in the past when they cut quarterback, Tim Tebow. If he was to be used more than the 10 times he was in the 23-20 loss, when he had eight carries and two receptions, that might help.
After losing their first two by only a touchdown, and squeaking out a 10-point victory over Tampa Bay, the Texans were throttled by the Atlanta Falcons 48-21 this past Sunday. It was catchable but wasn’t caught.
Thursday injury report: The following players listed as limited in practice: Safety Jairus Byrd, offensive lineman Jahri Evans, cornerback Keenan Lewis working his way back from hip surgery.
OLB Brandon Graham pulls the ball out of TE Jordan Reed’s grasp.
Chip Kelly the coach and Chip Kelly the general manager are both going through a few tough times. Instead, his relationships with said players seems to be more like how a headmaster at a private school would teach his preteen students.
As the always level-headed Tommy Lawlor pointed out at IgglesBlitz, the team is playing poorly, and a couple of narrow wins wouldn’t have changed that.
Sarkisian and USC were picked as the early favorite to win the Pac-12 conference, and his team’s poor play along with his drunken rallying cry earlier this year will likely lead to his end at USC, according to Wolken. He is in full control of the Eagles’ roster and is in just his third year as the head coach. However, his next seven rushes went for a whopping 6 yards.
So where does this team stand? “If someone, just one of us, made another play then we have an opportunity to win the football game”.
Bradford’s play was encouraging. The Saints don’t have much to talk about, as their 28th in the league with 82.8 rushing yards per game.
The talent Kelly overestimated on the offensive line is banged up as well as backed up against the wall.
As Chip noted, there aren’t any good OL out there waiting by the phone unsigned, and injuries keep accumulating.
Like Peters, Johnson has vowed to play. The Eagles need better playing calling, execution in both the run game and passing game to rest the defense which plays way too many snaps.
That is no way to build a championship-caliber team.

If not? The possibilities get really ugly really fast.
