WOW! 2 in a Row!
Eagles stomp Bears 20-16
Road woes end; Pederson throws long!

The Eagles in the past few years have come up stale and short
after big wins against the Dallas Cowboys. This team came out
full of energy this week. However, it was costly penalties by the
Bears and turnovers that helped the Eagles to victory. The second
half was poor until they began to hand the ball off to Duce
Staley who carried the team on his shoulders to end the game.
Stay tuned for the highlights and the many lowlights here on
another HammRadio Eagles Game Day Report.

| Coach Andy Reid |
Well Reid was right. Doug Pederson can lead this team
to victories. The second half play was a little weak. And
the red zone play calling leaves a little to be desired.
I'd like to see some Duce sweeps to see if this guy can
get into the end zone. Because the team still looks shaky.
But Reid is looking more and more like a genius. |

HOAGIES -- Stars of the Game
- RB - Duce Staley -- 23 rushes for 101 yards. No
TDs yet. They have to start giving this guy the ball in
the Red Zone. The next superstar in this league.
- QB - Doug Pederson (first half) --
- CB - Troy Vincent -- Another
interception. And the receivers were nearly invisible. Raghib
Ismail did get 7 catches for 88 yards but that
is merely yeoman work.
KRIMPETS -- Soft players of the Game.
- P - Sean Landetta -- 8 punts for a 45.5
average. But it was his first half punts that had low
hang time and short that gave the Cowboys decent field
position.
- LG Doug Brzenski -- Well a few weeks ago
we told you to watch this guy. And we did and he could
have cost the Eagles the game with his hold on Duce
Staley's called back touchdown catch. The Eagles
fortunately came back to hit a field go to close the gap
to 10-6.
- Eagles Receivers -- Drop Drop Drop. Too
many dropped balls. Is it Pederson's fault? Not anymore.
If you're open and the ball is there you have to catch
the darn thing.
Keep an Eye on'em:
CB -- Al Harris -- No penalties and had good coverage
at the end of the game. If we can reign in his emotional (and
costly penalties) play he will add to the depth of the team.
Numerology-- Key Stats
- 1 first half First Down. 11 in the Second. Pederson came
through with the big TD pass.
- The fourth quarter offensive TD was the first one in 18
quarters. That's 4 and a half games.
- Turnovers. 3 Takeaways. Plus 2 on the day. If you win the
takeaway column. You're going to win games.
Key Plays
- Mamula's fourth quarter sack changed the flavor of the
game.
- Brzenski's hold actually allowed the Eagles to put 3
points on the board and waste another minute of the game.
- Emmit Smiths first quarter fumble at the Eagles three. If
Dallas scores there the game goes on to be a blow out.
Instead, despite not scoring any points and actually
turning into a field goal for Dallas with a 3 and out and
a terrible punt, the fumble saved the game.
