Well the Eagles got their first loss of the season. And it was a tough one to lose. The bears gave them a chance to win the game. The Eagles were able to get over 300 yards and they held the Bears under 300 yards. Everything stat wise said they should of won the game. But McNabb just couldn't do anything with out his number one guy T.O. with Owens being out for today's game McNabb needed someone to step up and be the guy to help him. He tried to make Westbrook the guy but he had a struggle to get open and run. He ran the ball 9 times and only got himself 49 yards rushing. The running game was getting shut down all day. Westbrook had such a hard time getting though the line. Going the air wasnt any better.  He had 6 receptions for 24 yards. McNabb couldn't find good passes to him all day. He would pass it to him and there was a herd of Bears there. Westbrook had no chance of breaking free all day. McNabb's receivers combined for only a total of 12 catches. Owen's has had games were he caught that many in a game. Pinkston was the only one who did really anything for McNabb. He wasnt   catching everything. He had some misses. He only had 4 receptions but he was able to get 95 yards receiving and manage to get himself a touchdown. But other than Pinkston no one stepped up. Mitchell the guy we all thought who would of taken advantage of the chance to be a number 2 guy. He just didn't show up. He also had 4 receptions but he only got 48 yards. He was not able to break away from the Bears secondary.  Morey is another guy who just didn't do much. Both him and Mitchell had a great chance to step up and show what they had. But neither of them did anything. They failed to show up and we know why they are 3rd and 4th string. Morey had 2 receptions for 31 yards. 79 yards combined between both of them isn't going to do it. Pinkston had 95 alone. And I'm sure Owen's would of had a 100 yard game, and they only got 79 yards total between them both. That is not going to cut it guys. I would like to say it was the defense who let the team down, but they did everything they could to give the team a chance. They held the Bears to 269 total yards. They held Grossman to just 93 yards passing. They shut down their receivers. That secondary was on point today. Brian Dawkins led the team by getting himself the only turnover by getting a great pick. He also was able to get 3 tackles on the day. Lewis lead the team with 5 tackles on the day. He was all over the field shut down the wide outs and keeping them from going anywhere. Brown, Wayne, and Simoneau all had 4 tackles. You weren't getting through these Linebackers today. Simoneau was as able to get to Grossman and take him down for a sack. He wasn't the only guy that was able to get to Grossman today. Javon Kearse, Sheppard, and rookie McDougle were all able to get a sack. Sheppard and McDougle only had half a sack, but it was still a sack. Where the defense failed was the run defense. They allowed the Bears backs 176 yards rushing. Anthony Thomas had 90% of those yards alone. They just had a hard time keeping him at bay. If he wanted to break a big run he wasn't going to be stopped by the Eagles. It was just a off day for the whole team. A team who gets into the redzone often was in the redzone just once. Once for the whole game. That is the first time this season they only got to the redzone once. Then it didn't help that when they got close enough David Akers couldnt nail a field goal. He missed both of his kicks wide right. The wind was strong but he was having a hard time kicking in the wind. I'm glad he was able to kick the extra point ok. And with them getting the only turnover for the game it's a shame they couldn't turn that into points. Next week they host the Panthers which should be good for them. They will be home and they will get Owens back as well. Which they will need him for next week.

Jack Del Rio-"it was a tough game. Tennessee is a tough team and they are good. We made some nice plays against them but we just didn't finish. The team gets it and they understand. We all know it was a game we could of won. We will go back to work and watch film fix what we did and keep improving on what we did good against them. I saw a lot of good things from our team. Fred played great and our rookie Reggie had a great game. We keep playing at that level we are unstoppable."

David Carr-"well it's easy to understand we are not playing to our skill. We are just making bad mistakes me included. We need to get better around and I need to stop making big mistakes that cost us. It's on all of us. We just need to figure out and fix it that easy."

 Jeff Fisher-"we had a good game. Jacksonville gave us a good game and luckily we we're able to win the game. Steve and Eddie played great and because of their game play we were able to get that win. It's nice to be in second right now but that is not our goal. We need to be where the Colts are right now,but when you have the regining MVP it makes it hard. We just have to cut back on our mistakes and just keep our eyes on the prize.

Peyton Manning-"I love playing against legends. I feel like my A game comes out and I get to show what I got. Favre is a great player and I know he is a Hall of Famer. I can only hope to have a career like him. I need to get myself a Superbowl win first before I can have a career like him."Reporter-"how do you feel like you played today?"Peyton Manning-"well today as a team we played great. Marvin had himself another big game, and Reggie was there to also have a great game. Everyone I threw it too was catching it and they had a great game. Which helped me have such a good game myself. It was all thanks to my teammates."

Drew Bledsoe-"I will be honest I always enjoy playing the Patriots. No real reason they are the champions and it's always nice to play the champs and beat them."Reporter-"do you have hard feelings towards Bill and Tom?"Drew Bledsoe-"no I don't have any hard feelings towards them. They made a business move I get it plus it wasn't them who did it, it was the GM and I have nothing be respect for them for giving me the chance to play in the NFL and be the player I am now. "

Jay Fiedler-"well it wasn't just me that played well. The whole team in general played well. Receivers stepped up Ricky was a beast and the defense held them to allow us to get the win."Reporter-"would you say that you are the right guy to lead this team week after week."Jay Fiedler-"I would say I hope so. I hope they keep giving me the chance to lead this team for the season and show them what I got and let them know that I can lead this team to the playoffs. "

Bill Belichick-"we didn't play this week so not much to talk about. We are going to go to work and getting ready for Buffalo."

Herman Edwards-"what do you want me to say we are 0-2 and not playing well. It's that simple I don't know what to say. We can only do so much and if it doesn't work we end up having a 0-2 record."

Jon Gruden-"first off let me say how nice of a win it was to beat the Raiders again. Now that I said that we still didn't play great I don't think. We still gave up a lot of yards and if they didn't review or penalize them on some plays they might have had even more yards. So no I'm not going to run to the hills and celebrate. This wasn't a playoff win or the Superbowl. This was a week 3 win and we need to remember that so we don't get to cocky out there. Yes it's a great way to start 3-0 but we haven't won anything and we need to stay focused.

John Fox-"you know it's been a tough season so far. Yeah we might of went to the Superbowl last year and we are just feeling the effects its very possible,but I'm not going to give any excuses. We need to play better we have a good team as you guys saw last year with us getting to the Superbowl and coming close to winning it. It's just a rough start that's all. We will bounce back."

Aaron Brooks-"ugh well we played like crap that easy. I mean heck Little was able to get to me 4 times just himself alone. Our line couldn't block them and then that showed with how much pressure they were putting on me. I had a hard time finding my guys and getting them the ball. It was not a easy game at all. As you could see with us only getting 9 points. It's embarrassing when you watched us. We started off hot and today we tripped and fell on our face hard. We just need to go back and watch film and fix a lot of things."

Michael Vick-"We played great today. Yes the Cardinals don't have a great record and everyone said we should beat them but every team in the NFL is a tough win. It was a great win for us and now we need to keep this winning going on so we can get a streak going. It was a tough game. I had to pull out all the stops to get this win and we  played well. Offense defense we all played great we just need to keep this going and try to keep up with the Bucs.

Mark Brunell-"I would say it wasn't a easy win. The score may say we beat up on the Cowboys but we got lucky with our win today. Yes it was an important win and it got us in 2nd place and one game away from first, but we still need to tighten up a few things. But yeah it was a good win and we did a lot of things right and if we can keep it up we are sure to keep on our winning ways.
