We had the worst running game and couldn't stop anyone from running on us. We are deficient on both lines and our running backs are below average. Had we made it past the Steelers, our train would have surely stopped in New England.

Only the top echelon of QB's could have overcome those deficiencies.

Truth is, we need help on the lines more than anything, followed by a quality running back. Spencer Ware has as much vision as Mr. Magoo. If somehow a top RB falls to us at 27, it will be tough to pass them up.

I want a QB as much as the next guy and I'm sure we'll get one SOMEWHERE in the draft, but we better address the lines too.

So then you're saying that it's Dorsey's fault?

It's either the coaching or the talent level that isn't good enough.

Which is it?

I can't shake the sense that Reid was scared of something we weren't as aware of as we'd like to be.

And it isn't run-of-the-mill scared of losing.

It's possible that DJ's injury got him game planning terrified of catastrophic injury. Or maybe there were injuries taking the field that were a lot more debilitating than we let on.

I don't know if it can be fixed, but it needs to be addressed.

We have the talent to swagger a lot more than we did down the stretch, but between the Titans game and the playoff disaster, I have this mental image of Reid stalking the sidelines muttering to himself incessantly 'let it be over, let it be over. . . clock go to zero, . . . get us into the locker room. . . '

I got that vibe too. Kind of a 'let's do just what we have to and then not risk anything'.

I didn't watch a lot of Eagles games when he was in Philly so my observation may have no just cause. But it seems to me things went this way after the Indy playoff collapse. He didn't play to end the game when he had the big lead and it bit him in the ass. Now it seems like he coaches more scared/conservative now.
