The Eagles lost. Unfortunately, the game was winnable as the Birds had several chances to flip the script.

They suffered several injuries, couldn’t run the ball, didn’t give the ball to LeGarrette Blount, and saw their offensive line get bullied all afternoon. There are issues aplenty and my colleagues here at CB will dissect them today and the rest of the week.

The Birds return to the Linc for first home game of the season this Sunday against the Giants at 1 p.m.
