Protect Flacco, the Eagles will bring the heat

Can't be any worse than what the Giants brought and I thought Flacco handled that well. The second INT was not his fault, that's on the receiver. Why oh why has no one (ESPN, NFL, etc.) seperated INTs into receiver and QB INTs. I know the line can get hazey, but really, should the QB really be at fault when they hit a receiver in the hands???

 

Anyways, whether it's Cam's offense or Flacco's maturity, they'll handle the heat. Maybe it's a combination of the two.

Yup..We were driving damit!! it would have been a 3 point game, instead it was our own dagger..Thats why its imperative that we get a WR, a #1 WR this off season. Masons hurt, hes giving 110%, if he is healthy he makes that catch no problem.

No in actuality I agree, this game is very winnable. But not if last week's defense shows up.
