He has spent most of his 27 years at the paper covering the Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo came to the Daily News from the Fort Worth (Tx.) Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually wa s boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose two sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad and very dangerous to be around following a Sooner loss, have been married 29 years and have raised 2 terrific daughters – Allison, 26, a lawyer and graduate of Boston University School of Law; and Amy, 23, who graduated from Clemson and works in marketing and sales for a professional baseball team.

- Paul Domowitch: In short, a familiar problem for Eagles
A problem that plagued the Eagles for much of last season made an untimely return last night.
Third-and-short.
For the better part of last season, third-and-short was a hurdle the Eagles couldn't seem to get over. For a while, it appeared it would be their undoing.

AS A LONGTIME football coach, Andy Reid is very wary of saying anything that might end up on an opponent's bulletin board. So, it's safe to say he didn't give Joe Banner a fist bump 3 1/2 months ago when the Eagles president made his best-roster-in-the-league declaration.

One number tells you all you need to know about the role of the fullback in the Eagles' running game under Andy Reid.

ON THE SURFACE, Donovan McNabb's numbers in Monday's 27-17 win over the Washington Redskins don't look bad. On a night that saw him chalk up his 200th career touchdown pass and his 30,000th career passing yard, he completed a respectable 60 percent of his passes (15-for-25). Averaged a respectable 6.24 yards per attempt. Hooked up with wide receiver DeSean Jack

ON THE Eagles' fourth possession of Sunday's ugly 13-9 loss to the Raiders, LeSean McCoy committed the Two Deadly Sins for an Andy Reid-coached running back.

THE EAGLES' 13-9 loss to the Raiders produced a lot of disturbing offensive numbers. Zero touchdowns. Six sacks. A half-dozen dropped passes. A season-low 14 first downs. Eleven lousy rushing attempts by the running backs.

OAKLAND - How do you explain scoring just nine points against a team that had given up 44 the week before? How do you explain giving up six sacks to a team that had managed just nine in their previous five games?
-
THE EAGLES have kept the zebras pretty busy in their first four games, drawing 29 penalties. That's 7.25 yellow hankies per game, seventh in the NFL.
-
A MONTH INTO the season, we still don't know very much about the Eagles because, well, let's face it, how much can you learn about a club that so far has mostly played teams that would have trouble breaking even in the Mid-American Conference?
