Kendrick Lewis having a target on his head all game

Luck having that stripped ball bounce right back into his hands and scoring with it.
The RB pulling up on the wheel route
Bowe not fully extending on the final pass because he thought he might break his foot if he did (actually said this in an interview)
I guess I can't fault Alex that much for not scoring more than 44 points when he lost 3 of his best offensive players to injury...but I fault him for not being efficient while throwing the ball away up 28 pts, snapping the ball with time left on the play clock, running out of bounds on a scramble, throwing it short of the sticks and towards the sideline when we need to roll the clock....lot of stuff a grizzled vet should be better than.

Great post!
Alex played great. But he shares some of the blame for the loss. (Just like Andy Reid, the defense, etc).
