The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good:
The Phillies beat the Mets and the Eagles routed the Panthers! Huzzah!

Sean McDermott has emerged as a worthy successor to Jim Johnson; the Eagles 'D' had a career day today, allowing only three points after the middle of the first quarter; and DeSean Jackson had a punt return for a touchdown today, too.

The Bad:
Lidge still cannot save a game for beans. He was 'fresh' and should have had a 1-2-3 lights-out inning, but instead the Mets scored two runs on him and had a runner on base even as he got the final out. Brad Lidge is not the Phillies closer anymore, but neither is Madson, and so far I haven't had a chance to assess Myers.

Also, the Eagles O-line still hasn't got it all together. There were a few too many times that McNabb (and later Kolb, get to him soon) were hurried, even though (so far as I know) they weren't sacked. Kolb had a fumble because Carolina's D penetrated our O at least once. This issue, though, ought to be resolved as the season wears on.

The Ugly:
Donovan McNabb was injured; he cracked three ribs when he ran that touchdown in. He is expected to miss three-to-five weeks.
