Yesterday, the Washington Redskins, led by Donovan McNabb, came to Philadelphia and defeated the Eagles 17-12. McNabb, in his first game against the Eagles since he was traded to the Redskins in the offseason, had a average game, passing for 125 yards and a touchdown, including an interception. The Redskins, who had one of the worst running attacks coming into the game, ran all over the Eagles defense, going for 169 yards. The Eagles offense, on the other hand, could not run or pass the ball efficiently all game. Michael Vick went down in the first half, giving Kevin Kolb yet another opportunity to prove himself. He would go for 201 yards, a touchdown, and a late interception, and though he did not look as bad as he did in Week 1, he still did not look good. Kolb often checked down and went to the fullback or running back instead of looking deep for playmakers such as Desean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Though the extent of Vick's injury is not known, he will more likely than not be out for this week's game vs. the San Francisco 49ers. Kolb will have to step up and make the deep throws the Philly fans have become accustomed to with Michael Vick at the helm.
Grading:
Offense: C (could not make plays all game)
Defense: C (gave up a lot of rushing yards against a lackluster team, yet buckled down in the second half)
Special Teams: C (Akers had two nice field goals)
Coaching: F (terrible play calls and the missed touchdown opportunity at the end of the first half)
Overall: C (this team is capable of playing much much better football)
