Like I’ve said before, teams like ours win some they should lose and lose some they should win.
The Eagles aren’t playing well at the moment. - at least not as well as they can.

It was interesting that Woolen and Adams were benched and inactive, respectively. They both seem to be in the dog house and Adams more so. Love played way better in the back end than Adams. I wonder if this is a sign that Pete is over running Adams out there. At this point, I’d rather see him out there as a LB if at all. Woolen I hope just needed this reality check. Super talented dude, but talent gets you no where in the NFL without putting in the work and staying disciplined. I don’t know if that’s the issue, but he’s been put on notice.

It will be interesting to see how Pete handles this. The old adage is that you don't lose your starting job due to injury, but I'm reminded of when Alex Smith of the Niners got hurt and was replaced by Colin Kaepernick. Smith was playing well and the Niners were winning, but Hairball stuck with Kaep and rode him all the way to the Super Bowl and within a whisker of a Lombardi.
Lock didn't show us anything that he hasn't done in the past. We knew that he's good at managing the pocket and can make all the throws. The difference last night was that he didn't have any of the brain farts that he usually has at least once a game and always seem to come at the worst time. Hurts, on the other hand, played poorly, and I'm not sure you can blame it on his illness as he hasn't been playing particularly well lately anyway.
Anyhow, I vote for giving Lock a shot, let him start another couple of games. I don't think that Geno was playing well enough to justify having a stranglehold on the position.

He might show as one of the worst backups
