In their first two games, they were scoring left and right. The last two games saw the Eagles lose to teams because of their inability [...]

Eagles Coach Andy Reid: Strength or Weakness? (Niners Nation: Front Page Posts)

Posted October 10, 2008 at 11:07 am

A few years back, the Eagles were trailing a game by 10 points with under 2 minutes to play.  The offense drove down the field to score a touchdown to cut the lead to 3.  The problem?  Time had either expired or there was less than 10 seconds to go with no timeouts.  Either way, it would have made more sense to get inside the …
