The Daily Numbers - Sept. 13

The Daily Numbers: 4 injuries to key starting players suffered by Eagles in yesterday’s depressing 27-20 opening day loss to the Packers.
2 concussions, for starting QB Kevin Kolb, and middle linebacker Stewart Bradley.
5 of 10 for 24 yards, that was Kolb’s total output in the first half.
17 points put up by the Birds in the second half under the direction of Michael Vick.
103 yards rushing for Vick.
0 timeouts left for the Eagles with more than 5 minutes left in the game. Some things don’t change.
15 of 32 for 171 yards for Donovan McNabb in his debut with the Redskins. His offense did not score a touchdown, but the ‘Skins beat the Cowboys, 13-7.
4 hits surrendered by Roy Oswalt in the complete game shutout of the Mets yesterday. Sports fans likely should focus on the Phils, as opposed to the Eagles.
72 residences in Tinicum that will likely make way for expansion of Philly International runways.
2 teens killed, 6 other people injured in a crash in Chester County early Saturday.
15, age of teen who was shot and robbed in Reading. The robbers apparently wanted his sneakers.
1 dead body found inside a Philly massage parlor this morning.
4 people killed in a Megabus in New York that was going from Philly to Toronto, including a Temple student and a woman from South Jersey.
47-44 percent, what one poll shows Tea Party candidate leading GOP front-runner Mike Castle in the Delaware Senate Primary.

It’s hard to imagine things going any worse for the Eagles and Andy Reid as they kicked off the Kevin Kolb Era Sunday. How ‘bout those Phillies?

I Don’t Get It: Andy Reid’s game plan. The same opening day malaise. The lack of a running game. I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to those who took part in the compelling memorial serive at West Chester University at which a statue was unveiled to mark the legacy of Michael Horrocks, the Glen Mills pilot who was killed in the 9/11 attacks nine years ago. Well done.
