The Daily Numbers (Eagles Home Opener Edition): 1-2, where the Eagles sit after a humiliating loss in their home opener to the Giants yesterday.
128 yards on 24 carries for LeSean McCoy, who is now averaged 5.3 yards per carry yesterday.
2 catches for DeSean Jackson, who was a non-factor.
1 broken hand, on his non-throwing hand, for Michael Vick, adding injury to insult.
2 interceptions thrown by backup Mike Kafka, who proved he’s not ready for prime time. Calling Vince Young.
2 times the Eagles were inside the 5-yard line and failed to score 4th and 1 with 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter. For some reason Andy Reid decided to go for it. Of course, they didn’t get it. Game, set and match. That’s your game right there.

I Don’t Get It: Andy Reid and Howard Mudd put together a small offensive line and then think they are going to convert from 1-yard line and on 4th and 1? I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Hey, at least the Phils finally broke their 8-game losing streak.
