If Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers taught us anything, it's that a) Kevin Kolb can clearly play in the NFL, and b) The Eagles defense needs some serious help. The Eagles slipped by San Francisco 27-24 in what was a 27-10 lead in the 4th quarter. Kolb went 21-31 with 253 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and a 103.3 quarterback rating. Lesean McCoy had an average day, rushing for 92 yards on 18 attempts and scoring a touchdown despite having a cracked rib. The defense, despite intercepting Alex Smith twice and recovering two fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown by Quintin Mikell, allowed him to throw for three touchdowns, two of which were late in the game. The defense almost allowed San Francisco to pull out a victory on a day where the now 0-5 49ers shouldn't have even come close to success. The defense will need to step it up for the now 3-2 Eagles to have a chance to win the division.
Grading:
Offense: B (Kolb and McCoy had solid days, but they could have produced more)
Defense: D (almost blew the game with a late lead)
Special Teams: D (allowed 181 kickoff return yards on just 5 kickoffs)
Coaching: C (simply average, which is actually good for this coaching staff)
