Eagles Defeat Panthers 22 to 16

The games was really close so Philadelphia has allot to work on. There were two big plays that hurt.
(1) Jake Elliot missed a 52 yard field goal attempt, which could have cost the game. On the last drive, had the Panthers scored a touchdown the Eagles still would have been ahead by one point with almost no time remaining.
(2) Avante Maddox made a great play downing the ball at the two yard line. The Eagles defense let the Panthers go to the Eagle thirty with some bad tackling and missing some sacks.
Philadelphia has to address its inability to score in the first quarter. Sooner or later this is going to catch up with them. I remember the six game winning streak they had in 2009. The Eagles were 5-4 and improved to 11-4. In three of the six games they left points on the field. Then came the two road losses to Dallas 24 to 0 and 34 to 14.
It seemed like they were on the verge of a sack three or four times but Bryce was able to escape.
