Regarding the loss, the X factor was Starks. I don't think the Eagles had a clue who he was or what he could do. I took them three quarters to figure out the Pack offense.
The pass to Jackson late was THE opportunity for the touchdown - he was a trip up away from taking it to the house.
A few drops by Eagle receivers also hurt.
Why isn't Harrison running the ball on short yardage situations?
Defense needed to blitz more - Rodgers look comfortable for most of the game.
Akers - obviously an OFF day. Can't be mad at him though - he has done a good job his whole career.
Hate to say but it looked like the Iggles CHOKED. How many dropped balls...and the camera shots of players huddled in blankets on the sidelines. Heck it was only 30F...they acted soft.

The windchill up here in the NE made that 30 degrees feel like 10
I would like to wring the following necks, in no particular order of course:
David Akers
Michael Vick
Sean McDermott
Andy Reid
The Defense
Joe Buck (oops, forgot he isn't on the team.)
Honestly..like I said..without Vick you guys are not in the playoffs..that defense was HORRIBLE all year. Vick won a few games on his own ...without it 6-10 or 7-9 was likely.

That's a pretty good list.They didn't look like they were ready to play again,that last 7 minutes of the Giant game was the only good football they played in a month.
Even though i'm an Eagles fan, I was glad to see the game end the way it did.
I do not like Vick. It couldn't have been scripted better than the game ending with him throwing a last gasp interception.
He does not deserve any more glory.

Not necessarily. I bleed as green as they come and I was glad that if they had to lose, he threw that game ending pick. Do I wish it wasn't a pick and a TD instead? Of course, because then they would have won and the team is what is important to me.
I don't want him on the team period. Don't care what he has to offer. I hope the powers that be see that he is not the Superman that he looked like for that stretch mid-season. I never drank the Kool Aid everyone else did. Let him go play somewhere else.

If you go back to my posts at the beginning of the season, you will see that I was fine with going 7-9 for the sake of rebuilding. I really don't see much glory in making the playoffs if you are going to go out first round.
